Dumping Disk Updated

27 March 2002

Various bug fixes to the last enhancement of the Amiga dumping disk user interface.

  • Completed Workbench 2 support.
  • Various fixes for this to work, now uses the Workbench 2 asl.library and a replacement “RequestFile” command if this version of Workbench is detected.
  • Only ask for which drive to dump if there is more than one drive detected.
  • Menu system a touch faster.
  • Now uses standard copy command.
  • Fix for dumping 10 disks or more (VAL on IF command).
  • Support for using files with spaces - for people who don’t read the docs. ;)
  • Some spelling and terminology errors fixed.
  • Changed caches to only be turned off when dumping - then turned on again which also speeds up the menus a bit.

User commands can be added before dumping has started and when dumping ends. This was added since a contributor’s network card was interfering with the dumping process and now is turned off while dumping. Obviously this can be used for anything, though by default it is only used for turning CPU caches off and on again.
