- Re: MSBPCT.PAS with error checking
-
- As I promised some time ago, here's a beefed-up version of MSBPCT.PAS. The
- data handling is exactly as in the current version at CUVMA, as written by
- Helmut Waelder; hence, it's very speedy.
- In addition, it allows the user to override the original file name that
- comes with the BOO file, and it performs a rudimentary check if the format
- of the name in the boo file is ok. But what is more important: data integrity
- checks are performed on the BOO file. Blanks are always discarded (even in the
- middle of a line), and lines that are longer than permissible are flagged to
- the user. (This costs nearly no execution time.) In addition, the user may
- specify command line option '/c' to enable more rigorous checking: each
- character outside the permissible range (depending on where in a chunk we are)
- is flagged to the user. Execution, however, takes considerably longer in this
- case, as you might expect it to do.
- Anyway, this might be useful to users connected through EBCDIC hosts in order
- to track down what exactly is going wrong. (I wish I'd had that some time
- ago...)
-
- I sent you the .PAS source, a BOO file (watch out for conversion errors -
- I'm at an EBCDIC site :-)), and a HEX file produced by the public domain
- utility HC.COM (checksum included at end of file). Apart from the checksum,
- every vanilla de-hexer should be able to process that file. - Pick your
- choice as to which files to install at CUVMA, if at all.
