flashjazzcat Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I envisaged a potential problem with endless recursion in my own DOS's copy function, and decided to see how this situation was handled in SDX. It isn't, but perhaps this is intentional. Let's say you have a folder called 'TEST'. In that folder are a few files and one or more folders. You want to recursively copy all the files and folders into the folder 'TEST2', which is an immediate child of 'TEST', and TEST is the current working directory. You type: COPY /R *.* TEST2> The result: (stopped with BREAK in the screenshot). I haven't actually trapped this situation myself yet, but it strikes me that the absolute path to the source and target directories will be the same when this situation crops up, so it should be relatively easy to detect (and thereby skip the directory). EDIT: I see that the manual explicitly warns against attempting this kind of thing, so fair enough.

drac030 Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 In this case COPY should eventually abort with error 182 "Path too long". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Indeed so, as per the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drac030 Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 It is good that at least the COPY.COM reads the manual. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the hosting provider is up. Both atari8.info and sdx.atari8.info resolve to the same IP and the previous is providing service on port 80. The later is providing a redirection page: !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2"> <!-- Begin if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') var language = navigator.language; else var language = navigator.browserLanguage; if (language.indexOf('pl') > -1) document.location.href = 'http://sdx.atari8.info/index.php'; else document.location.href = 'http://sdx.atari8.info/index.php'; // End --> </script> ........ which means the everything should otherwise be working for the site. The redirected index.php isn't being served up so either it isn't there or there is a permission issue possibly on the server? Anyways its been down for me for a few days (New York.)

MrFSL Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Looks like it is still down. (The main index.php page that is) Files are still being served: https://sdx.atari8.info/sdx_files/4.49/SDX449_User_Guide.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Server is up, static files are served correctly, the problem is probably with site code itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmp Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 sdx imager tries to open the last used rom on startup but when it decides it doesn't like it, it will present a msgbox saying so and then crash (if it happens to somebody else, delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DLT) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Spanish Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I have noticed with the expression 200 OPEN #2,8,0,DAT$ * * * 400 IF MODE<>8 THEN PUT#2, COUNT works fine with DOS 2.5, but not in SDX (tried with both). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trub Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) @tmp Thanks for the report. I have uploaded a new version of SDX Imager 3.1.2 which should not crash when there is a problem opening the last file. @Ricky Spanish Provide more information to let us know what is going on. We will be working on the COPY /R bug with long device specification. Edited May 15, 2022 by trub 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzspeed Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I updated to SDX 4.49g today. I will say I was most impressed when I switched into CON 80 mode and tested ED with my config.sys file and ED opened in it's own window in front of the CLI! Normally when I try to use ED in CON 80 mode the system crashes. Outstanding job to those involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
