199q E/D Oddities...
I don't want to post this directly to ARDI until I'm sure
that it is a real problem and not me... (I assume it's my
system, since no one else seems to be mentioning this.)
I use Executor to copy files PC<-->Mac. Currently, I'm working
on a small 20-page catalog using my PC, saving the files in
Mac format and then using Executor to format Mac disks and
move the .SIT files.
Anyway, I've now gotten several errors where folders empty
and cannot be deleted. (Mentioned in earlier posts.) I use
MakeHFV to create new "drive volumes" and move the surviving
folders, then delete the old volume file in DOS.
My volumes are < 60M, on a WD 1.6GB drive, no compression,
no fancy drivers. The box is a P75, DOS 6.2X.
In addition, I ran Crystal Quest 2.2.5 without any problems
under 1.99p9, but when I upgraded to 1.99q several strange
things now occur:
1) The game starts in B&W.
2) Some sounds vanish after playing one level.
3) The control panel (cmd key) does not work.
4) The volume controls do not respond (keys 0-9).
If I lose Crystal Quest, I can survive, but drive volume
errors actually affect my work. At that point, Mac-in-DOS
or some other file transfer program becomes a standby. Yuck.
I still hope to buy Executor 2.
