- Salutations!
-
- Q: Is there a bug in NULU11 when extracting large files?
- A: Yes. However, the bug has been verified by me in the following
- circumstances only:
- 1) Extracting from a library on a non-default drive to the
- default drive.
- 2) File must be larger than the file transfer buffer.
- 3) Verification by me of bug on Kaypro and Epson computers only.
- 4) Block size of 2K and less than 512K total disk capacity.
-
- This DOES NOT MEAN that I am certain that the error exists nowhere
- else. This list of conditions merely represents several conditions
- which I consider pivotal in the creation of the problem. If you know
- of others, please contact me.
-
- It should be noted that extracting to the same drive as the one on
- which the library resides causes no problem. Additionally, if the
- original source file can be completely read into memory (i.e. only
- one pass is made at the source file) no problem will occur.
-
- At present I plan no patch to fix the problem. However, a new release
- of NULU this summer should address the problem completely, as well
- as offer additional NULU features.
-
- Additional reports on problems that have been verified and can be
- repeated are welcome. Come one, come all.
