New Stuff, More Hell and Decisions….Bad Documentation….Am I optimistic or what? :)
Well, it’s been just over a week since the April’s fools prank, and I wanted to say that some of the stuff in that posting was actually true (the stuff about the features that is)
Hopefully, I didn’t disappoint anybody too much. Anyways, now on to other things
I just finished a 2 week battle figuring out how open a file with windows file names vs. the old dos filenames. It took a look of googling and clever tricks.. At the end of the day due to some professor in Minnesota or something, I figured it out. The hassle was not helped by using Ralf Browns List of interrupts as a piece of reference material. The web link for those who are interested I shall provide below. That set of documents was the original source of a lot of my hassle with what turned out to be a really simple process. At the end of the day, that is a document that could really use some organization and maybe examples to clarity what R. brown is trying to convey. Due to my experience, I believe some of the information in that document is wrong but as I have explained above maybe it just the way the information is presented that leads to such confusion.
In other news, I have made the decision that from now on this web site will be updated once a week no matter what is happening (well almost anything). Things have mostly returned to normal and it is very difficult to get anything accomplished. An update will consist of at least a blog posting and a new version of the software that does something that is visible to the end user.
Speaking of.............
If you now open a command line window (look for directions below) and run crunch n pack with a filename after it will now attempt to open the file and report whether it was successful or not with “file opened” for access and “Err” for Error….Example follows:
CNP004 thisisyourfilename.wav
The latest download of crunchnpack will also be at the bottom of this posting.
On another note, When I have verified that I have figured out how to open, close and create files when using long files names I will probably post it on the internet due to the simple that that information on a simple process like this should not be hard to find and the only way to change that is to do something about it.
