TR-DOS 512F
ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»
From Kirill Frolov → To All 15 December 1998
I put the subject on my exhausted scorpion, which has almost completely become
a truly Aryan Pentagon and immediately GLOWS !!!
GLITCH no.1: If you format the electric disk, and then type *"a",
it says no disk. The second time - everything is ok.
GLUCK no.2: Does not exit 15919:
10 RANDOMIZE USR 15619: REM :*"D"
20 RANDOMIZE USR 15619: REM : FORMAT "ram"
30 PRINT "Gluck not detected"
This program is not up to line 30 it comes. And the form command waits for the
buttons to be pressed, which is also not a rule.
GLITCH no.3: Some programs do not work on the ramdisk. Moreover, they work
only through #3D13 and work perfectly on a scorpion with a screw.
On the ramdisk in KAY one of these programs works, the rest have not
been tested.
I want to know what this is and why it occurs. The inside of the trdos is a complete mess. I looked at STS, and there the pages switch for the pros :-( )
Maybe I have the wrong version of tr-dos or are there other versions?
It’s impossible to use this - the programs freeze!
Everything is fine with the computer!!! 6 and 7 bits 7ffd are present, 1ffd is torn off,
memory lock over 128k, 2 bits #eff7 are present.
With best wishes, Kirill Frolov.
From Andrey Isaev → To All 17 December 1998
Once on 17 Dec 98 at 13:31:34 I saw a brawl
Andrey Isaev and Kirill Frolov were beating each other
The reason was TR-DOS 512F
I decided to comment on this event
KF>> GLITCH no.1: If you format the electric disk and then type *"a",
KF>> then it says no disk. The second time - everything is ok.
AI> I'll check, but even if it is so, I personally don't see anything
terrible in it.
I checked, well, there is no such glitch there, at least for me, I checked from all
imaginable modes.
KF>> GLITCH no.2: Does not exit 15919:
KF>> 10 RANDOMIZE USR 15619: REM :*"D"
KF>> 20 RANDOMIZE USR 15619: REM : FORMAT "ram"
KF>> 30 PRINT "Gluck not detected"
KF>> This program does not reach line 30. And the format command waits
KF>> for pressing
KF>> buttons, which is also not a rule.
And here everything works correctly, the subject is made on the basis of 5.04t and there pressing buttons
in the formatter is a common thing.
Andrey was with you.
From Andrey Isaev → To All 17 December 1998
For the sake of maintaining _maximum_ 'compatibility', _minimal_
changes were made to trdos, and as I have seen more than once, any not carefully changed
_byte_ can affect the operation of any program, so I'm not going to remove this moment
(note, this is not a glitch!).
KF> GLITCH no.3: Some programs do not run on ramdisk. Moreover, they
KF> work
KF> only through #3D13 and work perfectly on a scorpion with a screw.
KF> On the KAY ramdisk, one of these programs works, the rest have not

Name these programs to me and tell me how they don’t work! although I have no doubt that such
programs exist, if only because for the ramdisk I used one of
the Basis variables and moreover, I know one such program - convert
commander, well, it doesn’t work, so what? who is worse off from this? Yes, and you’d better
think about the overall benefit the owner of the subject receives. You should remove the screw and
work with mail on one disk, and not on the screw, then we'll see what you
say!!!!!
KF> I want to know what this is and why it happens. The inside of the trdos -
KF> is a complete mess.
There’s no mess there (well, maybe just a little:), and if you mean
the scattering of all kinds of procedures throughout the entire system, then that’s how it’s intended, all
for the samecompatibility!
KF> I looked at STSom, and there they switch pages for the pros :-(
KF> )
It sucked watching my friend! there and for the stump, the pages are switched and for all
baubles (resident, ramdisk, copier, STS), and the pro is used only in the
copier!
KF> Maybe I have the wrong version of tr-dos or there are more other
versions
KF> ?
Maybe not the correct one.
KF> This is also impossible to use - the programs freeze !
I have been using this trdos since the moment of its birth and even earlier, and not only me, but you
were the first who started _yelling_ that some programs don’t work, of course there were no complaints
(_justified_) there were and everything that they told me about and that I found myself was
eliminated and they told me about it not in an echo but in soap, _yelling_ about glitches in Ehe
at least not decent!
KF> Everything is fine with the computer!!! 6 and 7 bits 7ffd are there, 1ffd is torn off,
KF> there is a memory lock over 128k, 2 bits #eff7 are there.
and the 'lock' is not used there.
And anyway, why can't you live in peace? Why can’t you do it without being attacked? In my opinion, you managed to attack everyone and everything here! Maybe you should just get off the spec and
forget about all the problems associated with it, get on the MIGHTY PYTSY install yourself
MD95, and the very first version, subscribe to some echo like RU.WINDOWS and
or there they beat your uncle.
