H44FIX.EXE
With the release of Telix 3.15 a bug in HOST44.SLC was uncovered,
this bug is in the user save routine and causes HOST44 to save
the user information incorrectly. This caused a problem with new
users logging on (it never recognized a new user) and a problem
with the updating of already current users. This bug was because
HOST44 opened the user data file in append mode. Telix 3.12 was
written in Zortech C++ which apparently did not enforce the
append mode of operation, with the subsequent change to MicroSoft
C++ in Telix 3.15 the append mode was strictly enforced, thus
causing a bug in saving the user data.
Another bug in HOST44 was the Archive configuration section that
did not allow you (the operator) to change any of the existing
archive formats, nor successfully add new formats.
H44FIX.EXE will fix the problem in HOST44 by patching the mode
from append to read/write. As well, it will patch H44UTILS.SLC
to fix the archive save bug. To run H44FIX.EXE, place H44FIX.EXE
into your Telix directory and run it. H44FIX will then make the
changes to both HOST44.SLC and H44UTILS.SLC. Once you have run
H44FIX.EXE it is no longer required and may be erased.
For those who were using HOST44.SLC with Telix 3.12 and upgraded
to Telix 3.15, you can remove the extraneous data in the user
file by simply running the user compressor.
