- Short description : ALLFIX overwriting own .TIC files.
- Long description : The .TIC file names are not "unique" enough to
- prevent creating duplicate names. This is
- normally not a problem but if the sysop moves the
- .TIC files to other directories, then ALLFIX may
- create new .TIC files with the same names,
- thereby causing problems.
-
- John offers the following solution:
-
- "My second though is to switch from decimal to
- 5-bit characters (0-9 & A-V). 6
- of these digits is a total count of
- 1,073,741,824. A 64-bit variable will hold
- it. With a resolution of 1000 counts per second,
- this would be 12.4 days. This
- looks like a good solution to me. It solves the
- current problems and allows
- for much faster processing in the future."
- Author's notes : Due to the fact that TP does not have a 64 bit
- integer, I selected the following alternative
- method:
-
- hour min sec hund counter
-
- bits 31-27 26-21 20-15 14-8 7-0
-
- value 0-23 0-59 0-59 0-99 0-255
-
- The hundredths second value is not very accurate
- on a PC. The clock ticks 18.9 times per second (if
- I'm not mistaken) so the hund value roughly ticks
- in .05 second intervals. This means that if the
- counter loops within .05 seconds, we may have a
- problem, assuming ALLFIX will finish its work and
- start up again and get ready to create more .TIC
- files within that same .05 second interval ;-)
-
- The next problem occurs when ALLFIX starts up at
- exactly the same time precisely 24 hours later. It
- isn't so much ALLFIX, but the routine
- initializing the Tic number which has to start up
- at exactly
- that time. Considering the factors, such as
- number of .MSG files to scan (which changes
- daily),
- inbound directories, other processes running on
- the same computer, etc. I think that the chance
- that
- the .TIC file numbers are initialized at exactly
- 24 hour intervals is almost negligibily small.
-
- Therefore, as long as ALLFIX creates less than
- 256 .TIC files in a .05 second interval, we should
- not have a problem anymore.

- Short description : Global edit not working properly
- Long description : When adding a node to the system list in the
- group manager and the fileecho manager using the
- global edit routines, ASETUP is not using the
- RAID defaults. Using the RAID defaults would make
- it much easier for the sysop to add new peopleto
- the system lists.
- Author's notes : This particular problem has been fixed as follows:
-
- When adding or changing the status of a node
- using the global edit routines, ASETUP gives you
- the option of selecting the status bits of that
- node. If you fill one or more of the status bits
- (i.e. they are set to No or Yes, and NOT blank)
- then ASETUP will use those settings. If you leave
- ALL of them blank, then ASETUP will add the
- system to the fileechos selected using the RAID
- settings for the respective fileechos.
