Oh, that actually is a bug. It's supposed to be 2 of course. I have translated the code into C last weekend and thus already fixed it without even knowing that it was broken. > The other relates to iof.xinf directly, but that is not wired up to > any DMEDIUM_ command, namely: > IOI_HDRL $28 Long File header length (per file storage overhead) - > which returns 512b on DOS, while all other devices return 64b.

Looks like the structure is somehow offset by some bytes, as that is also supposed to be 64. I was thinking more about the line of DMEDIUM_RDONLY and DMEDIUM_REMOVE. This is a bit more difficult to check but I think I got the most common cases now at least. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List
Re: [Ql-Users] New QPC release ?
What seems to be the problem? To me the only "problem" seems to be one or two small inconsistencies: DMEDIUM_TYPE returns -1 on DOS devices (the underlying iof.xinf call suggests: IOI_FTYP $2C Byte Format type (1=qdos, 2=msdos etc) but -1 is arguable..) The other relates to iof.xinf directly, but that is not wired up to any DMEDIUM_ command, namely: IOI_HDRL $28 Long File header length (per file storage overhead) - which returns 512b on DOS, while all other devices return 64b. The inconsistency here is that 512b doesnt relate to the actual file header size, as I always assumed was the intention.. Those two points also differ from SMSQmulator's NFA device, which returns the "expected" values, ie 2 and 64, respectively. Just my penny's worth..

It has been in the pipeline for the last 2 years... but yeah, it's much further along now. It would be very useful if someone would/could debug the 'DMEDIUM_XXX' functions. If you refer to the DOS device then someone must be me then. But this is not a bug. It's maybe a missing feature, but one that is amazingly difficult to pull off correctly for very little gain. I might try halve-assing it though. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List Thanks for your reply. François Van Emelen ___ QL-Users Mailing List
