Fritz emailed this announcement to me off-list, and I wanted to fwd it here:
> From: "nidud" > Subject: Re: [nidud/doszip] Problems with adding diskettes and HDs without > label / ".." (doubledot) (Issue #12) > > > The code is somewhat sensitive as it needs to test if the > drive exist for the missing floppy/CD/device loop. > > The way this is done is an attempt to read *.* from the > disk which usually succeeds if a file or a volume-id is > present. There are many other ways of testing if a disk > is ready but it becomes rather complicated as it depends > on too many things (OS type/version) so the most portable > way seems to be the read options. It is however not very > reliable with regards to error code, so it will return > the same for an empty disk as for a missing CD. > > One thing that may (or may not) work is an attempt > to read NUL if the above fails. I added this to the > zip below so maybe you could test if that works. > https://github.com/nidud/doszip/files/11937540/doszip-2.65Dos16.zip _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
