- H44FIX.EXE
-
- With the release of Telix 3.15 a bug in HOST44.SLC was uncovered,
- this bug is in the user save routine and causes HOST44 to save
- the user information incorrectly. This caused a problem with new
- users logging on (it never recognized a new user) and a problem
- with the updating of already current users. This bug was because
- HOST44 opened the user data file in append mode. Telix 3.12 was
- written in Zortech C++ which apparently did not enforce the
- append mode of operation, with the subsequent change to MicroSoft
- C++ in Telix 3.15 the append mode was strictly enforced, thus
- causing a bug in saving the user data.
-
- Another bug in HOST44 was the Archive configuration section that
- did not allow you (the operator) to change any of the existing
- archive formats, nor successfully add new formats.
-
- H44FIX.EXE will fix the problem in HOST44 by patching the mode
- from append to read/write. As well, it will patch H44UTILS.SLC
- to fix the archive save bug. To run H44FIX.EXE, place H44FIX.EXE
- into your Telix directory and run it. H44FIX will then make the
- changes to both HOST44.SLC and H44UTILS.SLC. Once you have run
- H44FIX.EXE it is no longer required and may be erased.
-
- For those who were using HOST44.SLC with Telix 3.12 and upgraded
- to Telix 3.15, you can remove the extraneous data in the user
- file by simply running the user compressor.
