Warpzilla M15 (from Henry Sobotka) |
A zip (~10MB expanding to ~32MB) of the M15 binaries is now available. Before
downloading, please take a look at the Readme for an idea of what you to expect. The M16 cutoff is scheduled for midnight (PDT) tomorrow. With that, the focus shifts for a while from feature-development to stabilization, debugging and performance improvement, which also gives us a breather from chasing the tip. M16 binaries will be released in the coming weeks, by which time we may also have nailed the two big annoyances right now: the sluggishness coming from image-loading and the mail-compose crash. Note from the OS2.org webteam: Further informations you will also find in the newsgroup netscape.public.mozilla.os2. -> URL: http://www.axess.com/users/sobotka/warpzilla/warpzm15.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

Now, if, for example, a file is busy, you'll be asked for 'retry' operation (Certainly if 'prompt' is 'on' ;-). You can turn off this dialog, simply switch off prompting by command 'prompt off'. Add log-file. For log-file creation, simple redirect 'stderr' to a filename : psiftp 2>logfilename. PsiPrn didn't changed at all (yet). Directory 'Lib' contains a library, some headers and an example for Psion link. Add 'resp 'Overwrite ?'. -> Hobbes-Search: psiftp -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
