#WHAP Problems
Jim, that's OK for me as I am pretty much an AMIGAFORUM-only type person here
on CIS. However, other users may belong to many other forums. I can see a
problem co-ordinating the file naming conventions with all the sysops on all
the forums. Any one sysop not knowing about (or not caring about) this problem
may well re-introduce the bug at some later date. You might get some anti-amiga
nut uploading files beginning with 'lib' just to make WHAP break. Since I can
go into the catalog file and edit the problem file descriptor out with
micro-emacs, it is no big deal for me. But for others it might.
Not posting the fix may leave some people with enough of a bad taste in their
mouth to not only decide to not buy WHAP!, but to usKh!"!inking of Jerry
Pournelle) as another reason to say the Amiga is broke, barely working, kludgy,
etc.
Think about uploading the fix. You can always have the sysops replace the old
WHAP.arc with the new one and upload a patch file for the people who downloaded
Whap before the new post date. I would not feel bad about dl'ing the patch file
even if it was 100K.
