Another update:
Revision 2.15.4
1) Now compiles under Windows with Gcc. I used CodeBlocks with the built in
32bit gcc to do the builds. There's also a makefile for shell usage.
2) Fixed 32bit bug in formatting an ed image file. It would segfault on Windows
64bit when compiled as 32bit, but not as a 64 bit build. Turned out to be a
bug in my 'ed' formatting code.
3) If the image file doesn't exist, it will now be created when formatting an image.
4) Files were being corrupted when extracted from an image with the '-n' option.
This was because the 'DOS_LIKE' define was not being done on modern C
compilers/operating systems. It is now! The corruption was to add a CR in front
of every LF in the file.
5) When changing the dataspace of a file with '-x' the dataspace size was allowed to
be an odd size. I'm sure this causes trouble on a QL, so it now gets rounded up
if it is odd.
6) The '-M' option to create a level 2 directory wasn't working. This was because it
was opening the image file in read only mode. I may have been responsible for
breaking this - but don't quote me. It's fixed now.
7) Dumping an ED cluster with the '-u' option (ASCII dump) was only dumping 32 lines
of 16 bytes - 512 bytes in total. The number of lines was hard coded. It has been
changed to calculate the number of lines from the sector size. This now works for
ED drives as well.
8) Windows uses the '/' character for command line options, unlike Linux which uses '-'
and while there was some code that allowed the '/' when 'DOS_LIKE' was defined,
it wasn't in all the places it needed to be. Now it is. Windows users have the choice
of whichever flag symbol they like. (Well, '-' or '/' is all the choice actually!)
9) Slightly weird. If the '-w' option was used to write a file into an image, and that
that file was already there, it didn't prompt to overwrite. I spent ages tracking it
down and it turned out that running in a Windows command session does prompt, only
running in a bash shell, on Windows, does it not prompt. As most users won't be in
my development bash shell, I'm not fixing this.
10)
Source Code is available from
https://github.com/NormanDunbar/qltools, but if you want or need a binary, let me know via here, and I'll put up a release with Linux and Windows binaries.
Cheers,
Norm.
