Bug in Gulam v1.03 Message-ID: <8806021054.AA07856@lasso.laas.fr> Date: 2 Jun 88 10:54:16 GMT Article-I.D.: lasso.8806021054.AA07856 Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 28 I have recently received Gulam v.1.03.05.05 from netlib@lakesys (thanks for the service!) and in that version I found a bug that wasn't in the beta-test version: mv can destroy files!!!! without any message whatsoever. I found this problem when I was moving files from my hard disk to a reasonably full floppy disk. After the move, the floppy had zero space left and *all* the files were deleted from the hard disk. The problem is that not all the files made it to the floppy!! SO BEWARE!!! The beta-test version (1.00....) did not have this bug. Mv would abort when the disk is full, and the files not *completely* transferred are deleted. By the way, when will Gulam accept foreign language keyboards without one having to hack the GULAM.PRG file? I still think that it's the best shell around! Keep up the good work. As always, I don't yet (;-{) receive any of the newsgroups -- so reply directly to me. Thanks. Ralph P.
