- Looking through the source code for PKTSEND in the latest Crynwyr 10.1
- release, I noticed the use of a function call with AH == 12, a variant of
- as_send_pkt() (AH == 11) which made use of structures called "IOCB's" (I/O
- Control Blocks). This variant is not in the latest FTP 1.09 specification.
- Does anyone know where this function would be documented, and if there are
- any other functions programs use which are not documented in the FTP 1.09
- specification?
-
- It is undocumented only in time. The problem is that the
- specification hasn't been published yet. Those darned time machines
- always introduce paragraphs, don't they?
-
- Seriously. The asynchronous send in 1.09 is (I have been told by
- someone whose competence I trust) brain-dead. It will be fixed by
- 1.10 whenever it's published. It's already a year late (more or less).
