Description of the LC package glitch

ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.general»

From Eugene Palenock To All 13 June 2000

Hello All! So, subject... Some _packets_ pkt have 2x00h at the end - and they fall into .bad In general, everything is easy to treat - if the packet has 2x00h at the end - replace it with 3x00h (correspondingly increasing the file size by 1). And the package is ok processed. 2All - write scrap to correct packages, or edit LC. I'll get bored soon fix this manually... * Original written in ZXNET.GENERAL *Copied to ZXNET.SOFT Best regards, Evgeniy.

Since you don’t know, I hasten to inform you that “if you don’t share,” libraries are linked to the executable and it is in this case that its size reachesabove.
