        ------------------------------------------------
                ├HANGES IN ┴╥├ VERSION 2.50
        ------------------------------------------------

á   1) ╨ROBLEMS WITH ┴╥├ 2.40
á
    ╞IRST OF ALL, ┴╥├ 2.40 WAS RELEASED PREMATURELY AND IS FLAWED.
    ─ON'T USE IT!
á
    ┴╥├ 2.40 TRIED TO COMPENSATE FOR SOME 1541/1571 PROBLEMS AND GOT
ITSELF INTO TROUBLE IN DOING SO. ┴S A RESULT IT  HANDLES  THE SERIAL
DRIVES PARTICULARLY BADLY AND ╙╚╧╒╠─ ╬╧╘ ┬┼ ╒╙┼─!
áá
áá  ╘HE PROBLEMS CAME IN TWO FLAVOURS.

    ╫ITH ┴╥├ 2.30, IT WAS NESSESSARY TO RESET THE 1541 DISK DRIVE BY
TURNING IT OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN BEFORE DISSOLVING ARCHIVES THAT
CONTAINED RELATIVE FILES. ╔N ORDER TO PREVENT THIS, ┴╥├2.40 CHECKED TO SEE
WHAT TYPE OF DRIVE IT WAS DEALING WITH, AND IF IT FOUND A 1541 OR 1571 IT
WOULD RESET THE DRIVE WITH THE ╒╔ COMMAND BEFORE PROCEEDING TO CREATE OR
DISSOLVE THE ARCHIVE. ╔'VE ALSO HEARD STORIES OF WIERD THINGS HAPPENING
WHEN USING THE APPEND FEATURE OF ├┬═ ─╧╙ (OPEN LA,DV,SA,"FILENAME,A")
LIKE ┴╥├ DOES WHEN CREATING ╙─┴'S. ┴GAIN, RESETTING THE DRIVE WAS FOUND
TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM.
á
    ╬OTE THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT ┴╥├ PROBLEMS. ╘HEY ARE JUST A COUPLE
OF THE MANY BUGS THAT COME AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT WHEN YOU BUY A 1541 OR
1571. (WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF ─╧╙ WAS IN ╥┴═ AND COULD BE UPDATED REAL
EASY)
á
á   ╔T WAS THIS ╒╔'ING THAT WAS CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH ┴╥├ 2.40 ╫HENEVER
┴╥├ 2.40 OPENED A NEW FILE, IT WAS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS...
á
á         IS THIS THE FIRST TIME ACCESSING THIS DRIVE?
á          ▌          ▌
á         ╬O          ¡└ YES └└> IS IT A 1541 OR 1571?
á          ▌                      ▌  ▌
á          ▌                      ▌  ¡└└ YES └└> OPEN 15,U,15,"UI":CLOSE15
á          ▌                      ▌                    ▌
á          ▌                     ╬O                    ▌
á          ▌                      ▌                    ▌
á          ¡└└└└└└└>          ├ONTINUE        <└└└└└└└└╜
á
á    ╫ELL, IT WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE, AND THE ╥┼╠ FILE PROBLEM WENT AWAY.
╧R SO ╔ THOUGHT. ╘HE PROBLEM WAS THAT THESE YES/NO QUESTIONS WERE NOT
ALWAYS BEING ANSWERED CORRECTLY AND ┴╥├ 2.40 WOULD SEND ╒╔ RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF DISSOLVING AN ARCHIVE AND MAKE A TOTAL MESS OF THINGS. ╘HERE WAS
NO PROBLEM WITH CREATING ARCHIVES SINCE THE ABOVE CODE WAS ONLY EXECUTED
IF A FILE WAS BEING OPENED FOR WRITING.
á
     ╘HERE WERE ALSO SOME OTHER PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH ╒╔. ╔T WOULD
RESET A 1571 FROM 1571 TO 1541 MODE AND WOULD NEGATE ANY SOFTWARE DEVICE
NUMBER CHANGES IN EFFECT. ╔N ANY CASE, IT WAS (IS) A STUPID THING TO DO.
╘HE OFFENDING CODE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM ┴╥├ 2.50
á
     ╘HIS MEANS THAT ╥┼╠ FILES WILL STILL BE A PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE THAT
HAVE ONLY ONE 1541 OR ONE 1571. ┘OU WILL HAVE TO RESET YOUR DRIVE MANUALLY
BY TURNING IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON BEFORE DISSOLVING ANY ARCHIVES THAT
CONTAIN ╥┼╠ FILES.
á
     ╘HE SECOND PROBLEM WAS A LITTLE MORE OBSCURE. ╔F YOU THINK THE 1541
IS SLOW, THATS NOTHING, TRY WRITING TO A 1571 DOUBLE SIDED DISK. ╬OW THAT
IS SLOW!
á
     ╫ELL, THIS PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE ALLEVIATED SOMEWHAT BY USING A
SECONDARY ADDRESS OF 1 WHEN WRITING A FILE. ╔N GENERAL, IT SEEMS TO WORK
AND THINGS ARE SPED UP SOMEWHAT. ╙O ┴╥├ TRIED TO USE AN ╙┴ OF 1 WHENEVER
POSSIBLE. ╘HIS MEANT AN ARCHIVE BEING CREATED (BUT NOT BEING APPENDED TO)
AND ╨╥╟ OR ╙┼╤ FILES BEING EXTRACTED FROM AN ARCHIVE.
á
     ┼NTER THE 1581.
á
     ┴╥├ 2.50 DOES NOT USE THIS SA=1 TRICK ANY MORE. ╔T WAS FOUND TO CAUSE
SERIOUS DIFFICULTY WITH THE 1581 DISK DRIVE. ╙EE THE SHORT BASIC PROGRAM
"81BUG.BAS" ACCOMPANYING THIS TEXT FILE FOR MORE DETAILS ON THIS.
     ╙O IT LOOKS LIKE YOU 1571 OWNERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SETTLE FOR
1541 MODE, AT LEAST WITH ┴╥├64.
á
á    ╬OTE THAT THESE PROBLEMS WERE DUE TO BAD HANDLING OF THE DRIVES,
AND DID NOT RELFECT ANY ERRORS IN THE LOGIC OF CREATING AND DISSOLVING
ARCHIVES. (┴╥├ 2.50 IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS ┴╥├ 2.30 IN THIS REGARD)
╔F YOU DID USE ┴╥├ 2.40 TO CREATE SOME ARCHIVES THEY WILL BE OK.
á
ááá
áá
    2) ┴╥├/═

    ╔T IS NOW POSSIBLE TO "MOVE" FILES TO AN ARCHIVE. ╘HIS IS IDENTICAL TO
CREATING A NEW ARCHIVE, SO REFER TO ┴╥├/├ IN THE ┴╥├ DOCUMENTATION FOR
DETAILS. ╘HE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ┴╥├/├ AND ┴╥├/═ IS THAT ┴╥├/═ WILL DELETE
(SCRATCH) THE SOURCE FILE AFTER IT HAS BEEN ARCHIVED. ╘HIS SHOULD MAKE IT
POSSIBLE TO CREATE LARGE ARCHIVES ON SINGLE 1541 SYSTEMS.

    ┘OU SHOULD EXERCISE SOME CAUTION WHEN USING THIS OPTION. ╞IRST OF ALL,
THE RESULTING ARCHIVE MAY BE TOO LARGE TO BE DISSOLVED IF YOU HAVE ONLY ONE
1541, AND SECONDLY IF YOU DO THIS WITHOUT FIRST MAKING A BACKUP AND
SOMETHING SHOULD GO WRONG, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR SOURCE FILES.
INTERFACE WAS PLUGGED IN. ╙OMEHOW ┴╥├ FAILED TO REALIZE THAT A 1541/71
WAS CONNECTED. ╔N ANY CASE, ┴╥├ 2.50 DOESN'T DO THIS ANYMORE. ╙O IT
SHOULD BE NO DIFFERENT THAN ┴╥├ 2.30.  ╘HIS MEANS THAT ╥┼╠ATIVE FILES
WILL LIKELY STILL BE A PROBLEM. ╚OWEVER, IF YOU DO USE THEM, THEY CAN
STILL BE EXTRACTED PROPERLY IF...
á
á
    3) ├64 ╠INK

    ┴╥├ WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY WITH THE ├64 ╠INK ╔┼┼┼ INTERFACE.
╘HE ╠INK REQUIRES A UNIT 15 AND ┴╥├ ONLY ALLOWED DRIVES UP TO 11. ┴╥├ 2.50
ALLOWS FOR UNITS 8 TO 15. (A-P)

    ╘HE ╠INK AND ┴╥├ WERE ALSO IN CONFLICT OVER THE CASSETTE BUFFER. ┴╥├ NO
LONGER USES THE CASSETTE BUFFER, SO THESE CONFLICTS SHOULD NO LONGER BE
APPARENT. ┴LSO, ┴╥├ NOW DOES A CLEANER JOB OF CHANGING THE ╔╠╧┴─, ╔╙┴╓┼ AND
╔╧╨┼╬ VECTORS, WHICH SHOULD ALSO FIX A PROBLEM OR TWO.

    4) ╚ELP

    ─UE TO POPULAR DEMAND, AND A BIT OF REORGANIZATION, ┴╥├ WILL NOW GIVE
YOU A BRIEF HELP SCREEN IF YOU TYPE ┴╥├ WITH NO PARAMETERS.
    ┴╥├ 2.50 ALSO DISPLAYS BREIF HELP WHEN ENTERING SEVERAL COMMANDS WITH
NO PARAMETERS. ╘HIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE COMMANDS WHICH ARE VALID WITH
NO PARAMETERS. ┴╥├ 2.50 ALSO ADDS A "HELP" COMMAND TO LIST A SUMMARY OF
AVAILABLE COMMANDS.

    5) ╬EW ═EMORY ═AP

    ┴╥├ NOW SITS IN MEMORY FROM $8000-$├0╞╞. ╔F YOU USE ┴╥├'S TEXT EDITOR,
WATCH OUT! ╘HIS WILL REDUCE THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF A FILE THAT CAN BE LOADED
INTO ╥┴═ WITH THE ╟┼╘ COMMAND.

    ╘HIS DOES, HOWEVER, FREE UP $├100-├╞╞╞ WHICH IS A POPULAR PLACE TO PUT
SMALL UTILITY PROGRAMS LIKE 1541 FAST LOADERS AND THE LIKE. ╘HE LOADER
PORTION OF ┴╥├ HAS ALSO BEEN MODIFIED TO SIMPLIFY PATCHING IN A FAST LOAD
OR SAVE UTILITY. ╔F YOU HAVE A FASTLOAD PROGRAM THAT IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
$├100 AND ├╞╞╞ THAT YOU'D LIKE TO BOOT AT THE SAME TIME AS ┴╥├, PROCEED AS
FOLLOWS...

    ╞IRST INSTALL YOUR FAST LOADER OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU WANT TO RUN AT
$├100-$├╞╞╞.
    ╬EXT ATTACH IT TO ┴╥├250.4 WITH A MACHINE LANGUAGE MONITOR. ╔F YOU'RE
USING ═ICROMON, THE PROCEEDURE WOULD BE ...

    ╬EXT TIME YOU ╠╧┴─ AND ╥╒╬ ┴╥├, THE "ATTACHED" CODE WILL BE MOVED TO
$├100-$├╞╞╞ AND INITIALIZED BEFORE INTIALIZING ┴╥├. ─ON'T TRY TO RUN ┴╥├
NOW, IT WON'T WORK SINCE ┬┴╙╔├'S PROGRAM POINTERS DON'T CORRECTLY REFLECT
THE SIZE OF THE PROGRAM IN ╥┴═. ╠╧┴─ING IT FROM DISK IS REQUIRED.

á   ╔F YOU WANT TO PLAY AROUND A BIT, THERE IS ALSO SOME UNUSED ╥┴═
BENEATH THE ┬┴╙╔├ ROMS AT $┬300-┬╞╞╞ (APPROXIMATLEY). ╘O FIND OUT EXACTLY
WHAT'S FREE, USE THE MONITOR TO FILL THIS AREA WITH ╞╞'S BEFORE RUNNING
┴╥├, AND THEN BROWSE IT AGAIN WITH THE MONITOR AFTER ┴╥├ IS RUN. ╘HIS AREA
WILL GET SMALLER AND SMALLER WITH SUBSEQUENT RELEASES OF ┴╥├. ─ON'T COUNT
ON IT BEING THERE LATER ON.
á
    ╔F YOU WISH TO DISTRIBUTE SUCH MODIFIED COPIES OF ┴╥├, YOU MAY DO SO,
┬╒╘ ╧╬╠┘ ╒╬─┼╥ ╘╚┼ ╞╧╠╠╧╫╔╬╟ ├╧╬─╔╘╔╧╬╙:

    ┴) ┘OUR CODE MUST ╬╧╘ IMPEDE IN ANY WAY THE DISPLAY OF ┴MPERE ═ETAL'S
       COPYRIGHT  NOTICE. ╘HAT IS, THE MESSAGE

             (├)1986,1987 ┴MPERE ═ETAL

       MUST BE ├╠┼┴╥╠┘ VISIBLE FOR ANY USER OF THE CODE TO SEE.

    ┬) ┘OUR CODE MUST DISPLAY A SIGN ON MESSAGE CLEARLY INDICATING THE
       NATURE OF YOUR MODIFICATIONS. ╞URTHER, YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO BACK
       UP YOUR MODIFICATIONS WITH QUESTION/ANSWER SUPPORT VIA ┼MAIL OR
       PAPERMAIL BY DISPLAYING YOUR NAME AND MAIL ADDRESS. ╘HIS IS
       IMPORTANT! ╔F PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS, WE DON'T WANT TO
       SPEND TIME ANSWERING QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO SOMETHING WE KNOW
       ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT!

    ├) ╞INALLY, YOU MUST DISTRIBUTE THE MODIFIED VERSION OF ┴╥├ BY
       ACCOMPANYING IT IN A BUNDLE (┴╥├, ╙─┴, ╠┘╬╪, ╠╔┬╥┴╥┘ OR WHATEVER)
       ALONG WITH AN UN-MODIFIED COPY OF THIS TEXT FILE.
                     -----------


    6) "WRITE FILE OPEN"

    ┴╥├ 2.30 WOULD INCORRECTLY ABORT CREATION OF AN ARCHIVE WHEN IT CAME
ACCROSS THE OPEN ARCHIVE FILE IN THE DIRECTORY. ╘HIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED IN
┴╥├ 2.50

    7) "FILE EXISTS"

    ╔F YOU INADVERTENTLY INCLUDED A FILE MORE THAN ONCE IN AN ARCHIVE, ┴╥├
2.30 WOULD ABORT DISSOLUTION OF THE ARCHIVE WITH A "63, FILE EXISTS, 00,
00" DISK ERROR WHEN IT CAME ACCROSS THE SECOND COPY OF THE FILE. ┴╥├ 2.50
WILL NOT DO THIS. ╔T DISPLAYS A "FILE EXISTS!" MESSAGE AND THEN GOES ON TO
THE NEXT FILE IN THE ARCHIVE.

    9) ─RIVES "2"-"9"

    ╙OME TYPES OF HARD DISKS ALLOW FOR DRIVES NUMBERED OTHER THAN "0" AND
"1". ┴╥├ NOW FETCHES THE DRIVE AND DEVICE NUMBER CORRESPONDING TO A
PARTICULAR DRIVE LETTER FROM A TABLE IN ╥┴═. ╔F YOU'RE USING A HARD DRIVE,
OR SIMPLY WANT TO RE-ASSIGN DRIVE LETTERS, YOU CAN MODIFY THIS TABLE TO
SUIT YOUR NEEDS.

    ╘HERE'S ALSO A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS THERE THAT YOU MAY WANT TO
ALTER. ╙EE THE ┴╥├.╩╒═╨ FILE FOR DETAILS. ╘HIS TABLE SITS AT $├100 AFTER
┴╥├ IS RUN, AND AT $5100 BEFORE ┴╥├ IS RUN.

á
á   10) ALMOST 1764 ╥┴═ DISK SUPPORT
á
á       ╘HIS IS EXPERIMENTAL AT THIS POINT. ╔F YOU INSTALL YOUR ╥┴═DISK
AS UNIT 14 WITH THE DEFAULT INTERFACE PAGE AT $├╞00, MOST THINGS WILL
WORK. ┴╥├ 2.50 TREATS UNIT 14 DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER DRIVES, SO UNIT 14
CANNOT BE ASSIGNED TO A REAL DRIVE.
á
        ╔NSTALL THE ╥┴═ DRIVE FIRST. ╘HEN RUN ┴╥├.
á
á       ╧UR TESTING WAS DONE WITH WHAT ╔ THINK IS AN OUT OF DATE VERSION
OF THE ╥┴═ DISK. (╥┴═─╧╙111286 VERSION 3.2) SO WITH A BIT OF LUCK THERE'S
A BETTER ONE OUT THERE AND MORE THINGS WILL WORK WITH IT.
á
        ═OST COMMANDS, MOVE, REN, DEL, ARC, SIZE, GET, PUT, TYPE WORKED
OK FOR ME (MOST OF THE TIME). ╘HE PROBLEM AREAS WERE...
á
á       ARC/X   CAN'T HAVE THE RAM DRIVE AS BOTH THE SOURCE AND THE
á               DESTINATION DRIVE. ╔F EITHER THE SOURCE OR THE DESTINATION
á               IS A FLOPPY, IT SEEMS TO WORK OK. ╔ DON'T KNOW WHY THIS
á               IS SO, BUT ╔ SUSPECT ITS THE ╥┴═ DISK AND NOT ┴╥├ THAT IS
á               AT FAULT HERE. ARC/C SEEMS TO WORK OK WHEN THE RAM DRIVE
á               IS BOTH THE SOURCE AND THE DESTINATION DRIVE AND THERE'S
á               NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AS FAR AS THE DRIVE
á               IS CONCERNED.
á
á       ARC/F   DON'T USE IT. ╘HIS REQUIRES BLOCK READ COMMANDS WHICH THE
á               ╥┴═ DRIVE DOES NOT SUPPORT.
á
áá
á       ┴LSO, ┴╥├ USES BLOCK READ COMMANDS WHEN DEALING WITH RELATIVE
FILES, SO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ┴╥├ A ╥┼╠ FILE ON THE ╥┴═ DISK, NOR UN-┴╥├
A REL FILE TO THE RAM DISK.
á
á       ╞OR GENERAL PURPOSE I/O (╠╧┴─ AND ╙┴╓┼ EXCLUDED) THIS ╥┴═ DISK IS
PRETTY SLOW. ╔F YOU'RE USING AN ╔┼┼┼ DRIVE, ITS QUICKER AND SAFER TO JUST
┴╥├ TO/FROM DISK. ╚OWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE SPEEDY ╠╧┴─S AND ╙┴╓┼S TO ╥┴═
DISK, ITS PRETTY HANDY TO HAVE AROUND.

á       ╔N GENERAL, ╔ WOULD APPROACH THE ╥┴═ DISK WITH SOME CAUTION. ╔T'S
A GREAT PLACE TO ╠╧┴─ AND ╙┴╓┼ FROM/TO AND MAY GET YOU OUT OF A BIND IF
YOU HAVE ONLY ONE 1541 AND WANT TO DISSOLVE A LARGE ARCHIVE. ╚OWEVER, ╔'D
RECOMMEND THAT YOU AVOID USING IT WHEN CREATING ARCHIVES.
        ┴╥├ TRIES TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ╥┴═ DRIVE, BUT ╔'M NOT TOO
SURE ABOUT IT. ╔ SUSPECT THERE ARE SOME UNRESOLVABLE CONFLICTS REMAINING
WHICH MAY INTRODUCE ERRORS IF YOU TRY TO CREATE ARCHIVES WITH IT. ╔N ANY
CASE, EXPERIMENT A BIT AND BE CAREFUL!
á
áá
11)  ╓ERSION ┼RROR!
áá
áá       ╫HEN DISSOLVING ARCHIVES, THE VERY FIRST BYTE ┴╥├ FETCHES FROM
THE ARCHIVE IS THE VERSION NUMBER ( 1 OR 2 ) OF ┴╥├ WHICH CREATED IT. ╔╞
┴╥├ FOUND SOMETHING OTHER THAN 1 OR 2 IT WOULD REPORT A VERSION ERROR.
╘HIS WAS CAUSING SOME CONFUSION AND MAKING PEOPLE THINK THERE WERE MORE
VERSIONS OF ┴╥├ AROUND THAN THERE ACTUALLY ARE.
áá       ╔N REALITY, A VERSION ERROR COULD BE CAUSED BY SEVERAL THINGS.
╔T COULD BE AN ARCHIVE THAT HAS UPLOADED TO ├╔╙ WITH THIER ┬-PROTOCOL,
BUT DOWNLOADED TO THE ├64 WITH ╪═╧─┼═. ╘HIS CAUSES A FEW EXTRANEOUS BYTES
áWHICH ARE QUITE BOTHERSOME TO REMOVE TO BE ATTACHED TO THE START OF THE
FILE. ╔T ALSO CAUSES A VERSION ERROR.
áá       ╔F YOU WERE TO TRY TO DISSOLVE AN ═╙-─╧╙ ARCHIVE, ┴╥├ WOULD FIND
A VERSION OF $1┴ AND ALSO REPORT A VERSION ERROR. ╔T WOULD DO THE SAME
IF YOU WERE TO PICK A FILE AT RANDOM FROM YOUR LIBRARY AND RENAME IT TO
"SOMETHING.ARC" AND TRY TO DISSOLVE IT.
á        ╞OR THESE REASONS, ┴╥├ NOW STATES THAT SUCH FILES ARE NOT
ARCHIVES, OR IF THEY START WITH $1┴, THAT THEY ARE ╔┬═ ARCHIVES.
