Re: Re: Anybody interested ... DRL error 200 (CRT) solved! (almost)

Hi, Ralf Quint just pointed out that ONLY Turbo Pascal 7.0 has the fatal
CRT library bug. Compiling with Turbo Pascal 5.5 will just lead to any
delay loops in the program running too fast (at least some of my Turbo
Pascal 5.5 compiled programs experienced this on my > 100 but < 200 MHz
computer). So thanks for pointing out that this is a non-issue.

Just:
- fix the "HIDE LFN" task
- recompile with an OLD Turbo Pascal like the free 5.5
- everything fine :-)).

Could some Pascal wizard on the list try to fix the "hide LFN" thing in
a few minutes? I guess it will take me far longer, as I have not used
Pascal much in the last, uhm, quite a few months.

DRL is open source and the usual license stuff, and the DRL100.ZIP on
simtel includes the source (single file of spaghetti code Pascal). It
would even be cool if somebody could upload the recompiled and improved
version to Simtel.net, preferrably with the authors permission!

PS: To hide LFNish garbage from the 8.3 listing, just do not display
entries marked as <vol> and RHSA attributed all at the same time, easy.
The un-easy part is which lines of drl.pas need to be treated for this
to be done.
