Suggestions on Programs
Hello,
I have recently started toying with Executor and have run into some
troubles with various software. GifConverter doesn't like the hardware.
VIM (Vi Improved) exits to the dos prompt if I start it. I feel the need
for an hfv file on an ftp site that has many basic applications a Mac
would have that are Demo or Shareware/Freeware versions. For instance,
I did not find a text editor, picture editor. In the case of text editor
I couldn't read the README's many files provided. Just something relative
to a SimpleText (more simple actually, just ASCII files in DOS, Unix, and
Mac carriage return format.)
Another problem was when you move files from your normal hfv disks
to the dos one the filename has a space in it. It's 8.3 but has a space
in it. I couldn't get DOS to view it until i renamed it. The copy
feature of Go (by dragging) should just put the first 8 letters of
the filename (spaces replaced by underscores) and put an extension
if it can figure it out. (last existing if there is one on the Mac file
and otherwise try figuring out the format).
Also, how much is the DOS version. (I couldn't find it in the documents
for some reason.) Is it possible to license BOTH the Dos and Linux version?
Are there any people who put hfv's on FTP sites?
And another thing (sorry) i feel that the hfv's should be expandable
as more things go into them. Instead of having a predefined size they should
expand and compress as you put and take out stuff from them. How do you
find out the Free Space on a drive?
Thanks for all your help!
