- Dear NetLib Owners:
-
- The following are known bugs in NetLib. It is possible that none effect
- you. The final version dated 7-4-88 corrects all these known bugs. If any
- of these bugs are causing you problems, please call us for a new disk.
-
- *** N_SETTIME()
-
- If the current color setting includes an Unselected color, then
- N_SETTIME may not properly restore the original color setting. This
- applies to the color setting in effect when N_SETTIME is issued, NOT a
- color setting that might be issued in a user defined procedure called by
- N_SETTIME. The Unselected color is the optional fifth clause of the SET
- COLOR statement. E.g.,
-
- * no Unselected color - this has no problem
- SET COLOR TO w/n,n/w
-
- * Unselected color (w+/n) - may be a problem
- SET COLOR TO w/n,n/w,,,w+/n
-
- *** N_UNLOCK()
-
- N_UNLOCK(ALL) should not be used until you have the 7-4-88 library. It
- intereferes with the semaphore table. Instead, use the Clipper command:
- UNLOCK ALL, followed by COMMIT or N_REREAD ALL. However, N_UNLOCK()
- alone is fine.
-
- *** TTS.OBJ: J_TRANS(ON) and J_START() always return False.
-
- Several people are now using the corrected library with TTS very nicely,
- thankyou.
-
- *** N_SUNLOCK()
-
- Eats up a tiny bit of the stack each time it is called. You will
- probably never notice it, but in case you do, call us up for the new
- disk.
-
- *** N_UNBOLT()
-
- May crash the machine, but then, whose looking?
-
- *** N_SLOCK()
-
- May return .F. if you try to re-lock the same semaphore that you have
- already successfully locked. E.g.,
-
- ? N_SLOCK("testlock")
- .T.
- ? N_SLOCK("testlock")
- .F.
-
- *** DEMO.PRG
-
- A number of unforgiveable type-o's in this one.
