!TCPIP/TCPIP_Doc/History/New_200c
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Fixes (2.00c) ============= Archive ------- Just a new !RunImage and !Sprite(22) files this time. This file (Fix200c) Twilight zone - a nice VT100 animation, for your amusement ;-) Whats Fixed? ============ Auto wide screen selection now works properly. In fact all auto-mode switches were missing. [End of Line] and Editor problems --------------------------------- Appears I came across one of the undocumented aspects of VT100 emulation here. It appears that set region code should also set cursor to 0,0, which it didn't Running your replay seems to show all editor problems fixed as a consequence of adding cursor to 0,0 in set region routine. Sprite doesn't exist -------------------- I think I mentioned what *should* happen in my last email. I checked this and DragASprite *was* being told which sprite pool to get the wimp sprite (file_fff) from, even so, I have changed that to tell DragASprite to find the wimp sprite poll for itself. This works and worked, fine for me, but not for you or another friend who is testing this. Hope it works ok now. (BTW I am using Wimp 3.22n, the limited release, pre-RiscPC developers only wimp, maybe this makes a difference...?) Just tried the old wimp - it does! - now fixed. Additions --------- Have fixed event handling to allow the replay utility to function. To replay a spool, drag it on the icon bar icon. To slow down a reply, hold the CTRL key down. (A bit untidy, but have done this really to aid diagnostic rather than anything else) Replays are normally run with the cursor invisble. If the CTRL key is held down when the file is dragged onto the iconbar icon, the cursor will be visible. Misc ---- BTW, as an emergency measure, if you hold [SHIFT]+[CTRL] down and choose quit on the iconbar meni, !TCPIP will exit immediately WITHOUT shutting down, thus leaving the modem on-line.
