This sh^H^H message to advise that
a DOP update has just been posted on my website:
The URL to visit in order to put your hand on this update is:
http://bgilon.free.fr/apple2/DOPEnMarche2017Update.zip
(pun intended but only for French people ;-)
This is a feature update but a complete delivery when relating to archive
content (i.e. it is a
complete replacement of the February archive) (cf. original post message for
archive content description).
Enhancements (size from « tiny » to « not so tiny ») relate to the 3 points
below:
a) Tiny: Redesign of the time spent measuring tools for the TF program (part
of the Peersoft utility suite).
Now any ProDOS recognized clock card (capable of returning seconds to
ProDOS kernel possibly via a
third party ProDOS 8 driver) can be used too to measure the performance
gain brought in by the Peersoft
utility to Applesoft programs but that module could be easily adopted to
other usages (and the source
files are provided too).
b) NotSoTiny: New DOS 3.3 tool available to transfer individual files
between DOS 3.3 and ProDOS
*from within DOS 3.3*.
While the core feature is there, the program needs some polish that will
be brought in in a future release
(hence the current version string of v0.9; v1.0 is to be expected by
summer this year) and be active when
run on a enhanced //e, //c or //gs. BTW the current version is perfectly
usable within every Apple 2
host (that was a requirement I’ve complied with from the start of DOP
design)
c) NotTinyAtAll: Bananasoft is an old utility I wrote in the past to extend
both the Applesoft and DOS 3.3
features. Now it is available from within the DOP menu. Relevant
documentation for a past release is
also included in Appleworks format for you to get the idea of brought
in features. Users can manifest
their interest by dropping me a note to get the updated documentation
and the relevant source files too.

The DOP documentation itself has been updated accordingly.
Have fun,
Benoît

Sorry for the typo. The URL should be:
http://bgilon.free.fr/apple2/DOPUpdateEnMarche2017.zip

Most importantly, the pun is preserved... ;-)

Sorry for the typo within the original post.
I renamed the archive on my Web site so that you can now download the
archive using this URL.

As Marko advised me, the URL is wrongly typed in my original message.
Things should be OK now as I renamed the archive to match the message text.
Sorry for any inconvenience,
Sure I'll be more cautious in my next posts (new promise for year 2017..).
;-)

Your Web Host says this file is not there:


ERREUR 404 - Document non trouvé


L'erreur 404 est un code d'erreur dans le protocole HTTP. Ce code est
renvoyé par un serveur HTTP pour indiquer que la ressource demandée
(généralement une page web) n'existe pas.
Certains navigateurs web affichent alors le message « 404 File Not Found
» (de l'anglais signifiant « fichier non trouvé ») à destination de
l'internaute.

Le premier 4 indique une erreur dans la requête, ici une mauvaise URL,
venant d'une page obsolàte ou d'une erreur de saisie d'adresse web de la
part du visiteur. Le dernier 4 indique le problème causé par cette
erreur : la ressource est introuvable.
(http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erreur_HTTP_404)
(English version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_404)

On behalf of Benoît who has troubles posting now:

"As Mark O advised me that no document was bound to the URL quoted in my original post within this thread, I renamed the archive on my Web site to match this one.
So everything should be OK from now on.
Again sorry for any inconvenience you may have experienced in the meantime.
I'll be more cautious in my next message post on the newsgroup (+1 to my "promises" list for year 2017).
Benoît"
