Transport Problems
- -÷----------------÷- -
Just some facts about the ever so hard transport of ascii. There aint only the
annoying Roadhogz-convertion that messes up with the ascii, there also is
several other 'bugs'. This is something that probably the file-checkers at all
the /X systems are quite responsable for. The symptoms are;
· A double edit of the collection, one after the other.
· A mix-up with a Lha-file, right after the collections end.
· A mix-up with a Dms-file, right after the collections end. Yes, I've seen
880k large collections that wasn't nothing but a non-working Dms-file.
· Pc - Amiga-convertions still exist and messes up with more Ctrl-M chars at
every end of the lines. Hint - Read them with PPMore, it will disable the
Ctrl-M's. Sadly enough wont DeHog v1.0 work on Ctrl-M's, though it claims to.
· And -signs ( // ) at some odd places in mostly german collections.
· And also other fuck-up's do exist, I bet you've all seen them sometime.
So, now the problem, what should we do about this? As far as I know is this
quite a problem since noone really seems to know by who, why and where it
all happens.
