Subject: Error in Myarc DM

Dear Charles,

Dan Eicher has found the following problem in PC99:

1. Configure PC99 with Myarc FDC.

2. Load Editor/Assembler

3. Put pc99.dsk in dsk1.

4. Start PC99.

5. Do E/A 3, DSK1.DM

Using the Myarc Disk Manager attempt to rename a file.

Catalog, Edit, (select a file), Rename, Exit, Execute.

The program "hangs".

The problem has been traced to the Myarc Disk Manager program itself, as
delivered on pc99.dsk. The version delivered does not match a version
taken from an original 5.25" Myarc Disk Manager Supreme III disk. There
are two bytes that are different in two of the delivered files.

When the original disk is converted to PC99 format, and used to run the
above test, the rename function works correctly.

-----------------

I have attached an updated version of pc99.dsk. This contains three
replaced files: DM, DM1, and DM2.

Could you please make this available on the whtech web site for PC99
users to download. (Should this be pc99.dsk Service Pack 1 to keep up
with current standards? Probably not, since it is less than 125Mb.
[joke]).

Thanks,
