Hi, after modifying the dweeb VDIR so that it is able to work with big disks and with highly fragmented files, I have given a peek to the DLOAD and the more recent DLOAD1 dweebs. They have a similar problem that shows up when the file occupies more than 11 extents. I have corrected them and I am att...

Hello, once verified with a lot of disks, it seems it works OK. So, I have decided to clean it up a little, then I had tested again and as it works flawlessly too, I send this new version. I am going to delete the last version to avoid errors downloading ... This is the final version of this dweeb, ...

well, finally the F (full) version works without problems. Using the big disk has shown that when the first LSN for a file is more than 999 (4 digits), the text shifts to the right every line it happens ... I attach: - the corrected dweeb VDIR (same name, but different one) - the source code (for as...

Hi Stew,

thanks, I had not made this test.
The JSR [DWRVEC, PCR] works well and in fact with the same bytes, not sure about the cycles, but I just don't matter.

cheers

Hi Jon, the dweeb had been corrected along development. But it had another flaw. Now it works OK as simple VDIR But when using DLOAD"VDIR"F"DISK/DiskName" using your Gamesdisk2 it ends abnormally. Looking at the RAM used to build the text table, I have found a lot of spaces between files so it grows...

Hi, Ciaran I have been using your asm6809 for some time. Now I wanted to compile a program for DriveWire, that contains lines like this one: JSR (DWRVEC) ; indirect addressing mode being: DWRVEC FDB $0000 When this is compiled with DskDream the resulting code is: AD 9F xxxx When I try it with asm680...

Hello Jon, back again with more news! You have converted me into an unconditional of DosPlus4.9 (maybe I will give a chance to v5.0 too) I have copied all of the files from dsk2 to a new formatted one with the basic program and has worked OK The free bytes number is now 17,920 as my Java app calcula...

Hi Jon, now that the Java app is working fine, I have tried to copy all of the files from dsk2 to a new blank one, just to see if the DOS really needs more that 10 extents for just a file despite it is the last one and so more prone to fragmentation. Have tried with DDOS11C, DDOS12A, SDOSE6 and SDOS...

Hello, Java works now flawlessly with the three disks, but ... Inside that App I programmed a small function that compares the FAT against the directory entries and detects the sectors that have not the same status in both places. The disk2 has this 'difference': Sector 3 (numbered from 0 will be nu...

more on that question. Your disk2 is really a perfect test to pass! The game 3DSWARS.EXE is sooo fragmented that after having occupied the 4 normal extensions, it gets a whole directory entry (7 more extensions) and besides these, it needs another two! I am pleased to tell you that I had never worke...
