[unofficial] Message-ID: <880914013622.871771@PCO-MULTICS.HBI.HONEYWELL.COM> Date: 14 Sep 88 01:36:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: Friesen%PCO@BCO-MULTICS.HBI.HONEYWELL.COM Organization: The Internet Lines: 21 Well this is a free country, I never signed a contract I wouldn't tell, I'm not a registered developer, after all this net is for Atari info.! This weekend I met up with someone who had TOS 1.4 (I don't no how he got it, or even his name(I was more interestead in the ROM info.)). He said that it has some nice features. He said now when you copy files, instead of just displaying how many files to go, it also displays the names of the files. He said disk I/O is increased "umpteen times" (that's a direct quote). He said he hadn't fooled around much with its internals and didn't know about internal error corrections such as malloc. He really didn't say much else but that it seemed to have many new *niceties* such as the file names being displayed as they are copied. I was in somewhat of a hurry and couldn't ask him detailed questions, he also was very anxious to offer info., but he seemed as if he hadn't worked much with it or didn't want to offer details. <<<<<<<<<<<
