#2.0 Bug Reports
7 messages in this thread
While we're talking about 2.0 bugs…
My wife has discovered the following bugs under 2.0:
1) If the filenames of redirected input and output (ie. < and >)
are
too long (ie.
dev:directory/directory/directory/long_file_name.ext),
then the system give a "too many < or >" type error.
2) The GLOBAL and REMOVE options of the ALIAS command do not work;
they
are not recognized by the command.
3) If she creates a NewShell with the NewShell command, she gets a
close gadget–UNLESS she creates the window from
Startup-Sequence.
If the latter, then no close gadget.
4) This sequence causes the system to freeze up: 1) create a new
drawer, 2) open the drawer, 3) put the drawer icon into the
trashcan,
4) (empty the trash: may be optional), 5) create a new drawer in
the same window with the old name. 6) Try to close the
old-drawer
window.
What's the proper way to report this kind of thing? Are any of these
"known" bugs?
Thanks

Christopher,
Your dealer probably has some "problem report" forms that Commodore sent
out a while back. If he's like me he'd love to send his first in! 🙂 See
if he'll let you fill one out for him to send in.

I should look around. I probably have some such forms. I was hoping that
there would be something electronic…

If memory serves, bugs can be reported to C= at the following INTERNET
address:

Thanks! Somewhere I know I saw a form to fill out…

John,
If you'd really love to send in your first "problem report" about the
release version of 2.0, just give me a call. 2.0 is going to be great, but
there are still a few "features" that need to be squashed.

Dave,
hehe… will do! Er, I think I have about 10 of these forms, how many
should I put aside? <grin>
