Subject:
DOS Problems Solved with MS DOS
Schedule and Archiving Problems, Try MS DOS
Dear Rod,
The "no archive" flag is executed by clicking between the 'no' and the
"archive" on the group manager screen as you taught me.
..
In any case, I beat on the system until it executed SDS under the MSDOS
shell, and the problem with the empty schedule went away.
..
I then tried Update Database from the Diary menu on the schedule and got 4
files in E:\sd\08\00000\06
00001
00003
00004
00005
..
I don't know what happened to 00002. Should I have one?
..
Conclusion: SDS has some dependencies on the shell that we have yet to
figure out.
..
Do you use any DOS commands other than DIR and depend on the format of their
output?
..
I will put up with MSDOS as a shell for a time, but not forever. I can live
with it since I can use the 4DOS shell directly when I need to.
In any case, that does seem to make a difference.
..
We do need to track down the dependencies and figure out how to get away
from them. The difference between Windows systems alone requires that.
..
I will work on the HTML files tomorrow.
