DOS ain't dead

Blocek 1.4 - minimal test + minimal RTFS (Announce)

posted by DOS386, 01.01.2014, 18:35

No new version but more BUG's found:

- source package contains multiple bugged CWSDPMI files (misnamed HDPMI, CWSDPMI from 1997, ...)

- other junk files: JINCLUDE.PAS = JINCLUDX.PAS , empty files, BAK files, ...

- "mystr(d.vendor_version_major)+'.'+mystr(d.vendor_version_major" should be "minor" or even better destroy this "Procedure TestVirtualniPameti" alltogether ... it just duplicates "Procedure Informace_o_systemu" not having this major-vs-minor bug

- junk rectangles on invalid UTF-8 char's

- TFM: Unicode has 17 planes per 64 Ki char's ... while Blocek seems to support only one ... "UTF82word" suggests this fact ... (fortunately the > 0 planes are even more empty and useless than the plane ZERO)
