- Here is a disk access question. When I load exec 1.99q(latest BleedingEdge)
- with a disk in place in a-drive, the disk shows up fine on the hot band. No
- problems there.
- If I eject it and load another, I receive contradictory results sometimes
- and maybe it is the sequence of commands I use. Can disk loading be
- clarified?
- 1) I eject the disk with an alt-left_shift-2 and with the menu EJECT. Works
- fine because EJECT is no longer active.
-
- 2) to read a new disk, do I
- reverse the commands (alt-left_shift-2 and menu READ or
-
- menu READ and then alt-left_shift-2.
-
- I certainly would like a clarification of the disk eject/read process.
-
- I must say, I stopped using Exec at about version 1.99p and since then, the improvement
- is just remarkable. (Most of my use has been for NIH-IMAGE with
- some rather intensive math calculations on images.)
