You are welcome! Datormuseum is just the Swedish word for "computer museum". In Swedish you build up new words all the time instead of writing them apart.

i also like the word 'dator' because it reminds me of the guy Dr. Dator, who used to host Dr. Who (well the Pertwee era) on TV Ontario, a long time ago.

I think he is a prof. at the uni. of hawaii now i think.

you guys have a cool word for computer, regardless.

I used the prog. aid cart quite a lot when making this new version, so in a way, you helped in developing this version too!!! Thanks!

I just made another little program for you. Look in the cartridge thread:

I have found a way to run 64HDD under ms-dos after all. I just boot from a Win ME start diskette and select minimal boot... And then call a "vic.bat" file on the C: drive. Saving and everything (except for long filenames) works from there (as long as I set the +p option correctly)...

But something else I found out, is that the extra delay I inserted after rename and delete only is needed when running under windows. So do you think that I should keep that? Removing it would free up 11 bytes and about 2 seconds of extra waiting after every delete or rename operation...

/Anders

Well, decided to change that, so here is V19:

I didn't like the idea of waiting for an unnecessary delay after every file when deleting a couple of them...

Good news: I finally got the 64HDD Long Filenames working!!!

Bad News: When a filename is longer than 16 characters, 64HDD truncates it to 16 characters, which means that it's not found when you try to load it. I will start to work out a fix right now and then release a V20...

Here is V20:

I'm glad I got LFN working so that I had a chance to catch that problem...

My very own VIC-20 Disk Utility Cartridge arrived today!

Thank you so very much Leif!

Oh I can't wait to try it out!

I have to make a label for it though, I hope you don't mind, as I would like to snazz it up

Hopefully if I can get it done today, I can scan a pic of it.

Chris

Here is the label I made for it:

How does one correctly pronounce Leif? Is it like an american pronouncing "leaf"?

yep, like Leaf

chris

In North America anyway. Elsewhere it's pronounced more like "layfe".

Nice job Chris! Just hope you don't have to pull the EPROM out anytime

i am an end user, so will not be playing around with the innards of this cart.!

chris

I would definitely say Layf (ay as in May) if I met you. Maybe we should enjoy ourselves recording how we pronouce each other's names, and the one who gets the most correct wins something?

Well, what do you know?! A new version!

B-Menu 22 - Delete Batch version
http://user.tninet.se/~pug510w/datormuseum/bmenu22.zip

http://user.tninet.se/~pug510w/datormus ... enu.html#b

I got tired of deleting a file, wait for the deletion, wait for the directory to load, deleting another file, waiting for the directory to load, etc etc etc... So here it is - a special Batch Delete version. You press D on all files you want to delete (which marks them red). Then you press Shift-D to delete them all in one go (after an are-you-sure question). That's it. It also always starts up at the last page because I found that I almost always wanted the last files on the disk myself... Disadvantage: Uses a little more memory than V20, so don't expect to be able to list all 144 files on an unexpanded vic (unless the filenames are short).
