THEOS Corona Operating System
PL 50202 (Beta)
November 11, 2011
COPYFILE
08Nov11: ** Serious Problem! **
Option EXPORT against a non-formatted record may have caused a trap in
versions of COPYFILE after PL50182. Prior versions did not trap, but
may not have exported all records correctly. Now COPYFILE should
behave properly.
DNS-cli
19Oct11:
If the network cable is not attached during boot and your hosts.txt
file contains a multi-entry line with no domain name, DNSRESOL may
cause a TRAP#13 when you attempt to use a network service such as FTP
or NSLOOKUP. This was due to not having a DHCP provided IP address.
This is now corrected.
EXPAND
27Oct11:
Some systems reported problem with EXPAND in PL 50200. This version
should repair that issue.
FTP-cli
02Nov11:
The FTP client will now send NOOP commands during lengthy SEND and
RECV commands to keep the control channel from closing due to
inactivity. This is controlled by the KEEPALIVE and NOKEEPALIVE
options.
LIST
08Nov11: ** New Feature! **
Option NOCTL will prevent LIST from interpreting display control
characters. The default is to interpret the embedded control
characters such as BON, BOFF, HON, HOFF, etc.
21Oct11: ** New Feature! **
Listing a BASIC, C, EXEC, SQL, T3, or HTML source file to a printer
will now be syntax colored, similar to printing through WindoWriter.
MAKEBOOT
27Oct11:
The EBCD disc will no longer wait for "Press any key to boot from
CD-ROM". If the disc is loaded, it will boot.
NUCLEUS
25Oct11:
Trying to access a LISAM indexed file stored on a CD or an ISO disk
image would fail to read any records. This is now corrected in the
latest release.
20Oct11: ** Serious Problem! **
A trap occurs when writing the bad sector list in PL 50200. This was
caused by a compiler error that has been corrected.
PATCH
04Nov11: ** Serious Problem! **
Patching an indexed file would not display the data and would leave
the cursor in a strange location on the screen. This was caused by a
compiler problem that has since been corrected.
SETUP
10Nov11:
SETUP > NET > NIC was limited in the number of adapters defined in the
supported list. Now the list is unlimited.
10Nov11: ** New Feature! **
SETUP > NET > NIC will no longer show the ISA adapters. If your system
has no recognized PCI ethernet adapters, then you will not be able to
add an adapter. If you really need the ISA ethernet adapter, then use
the command "SETUP NET NIC ISA".
SPOOLER
17Oct11:
In Report view, clicking on "Modify" will allow you to change the
queue letter, but only upper-case queue letters are allowed. It should
allow any valid queue letter.
SYSTEM
25Oct11: ** Serious Problem! **
When booting or installing from CD-ROM, SYSTEM to the hard disk would
fail. Now it will properly work.
