Hello Michael, All;
Regarding the Tables Eat Memory bug, I was checking to see if the
Arachne xSwap debug display gave any clues and found none there.
What I did find was that you don't need any special test file to
see the problem. There are enough tables on the OPTIONS screen.
Starting at the Desktop screen with 130kb + offline, I loaded options. (O)
This dropped my altM memory display to 107+. Returning via F10 to Desktop,
I then had only 107+. "O" to options, 106+. "R" reload, 105+. "R" again,
twice, now only 104+. "D" to dialer, still only 104. F10 to desktop, 104.
"O" to options, now only 102+. Finally, altE and exit, back to 107+.
I discovered a few more bugs while I was trying to prepare a trimmed
down version of 1.60 for use on the little ramdisk on my '386 at home.
I wanted to view various files and gifs before deleting them.
Bug 1:
I found that if I set fullscreen mode for a directory display and then
selected image gallery, I was dropped back to 90% fullscreen mode.
This was in EGA mode. There was no way to make fullscreen stick.
It's ok in VGA 640x480x256 _OR_ x16.
Bug 2:
If I used shiftENTER to mark several files for deletion, the deletion
would NOT work if there were 5 or more files. It worked fine for 4.
Bug 3:
I could mark and delete files in \ARACHNE but NOT in deeper directories
like \ARACHNE\SYSTEM\IKONS. Marked fine, deleted NONE.
Could someone confirm these bugs please ?
