Hello again ... :)
while making my life more comfortable, I also tried to make the D64 filesystem from http://ytm.republika.pl/src/mc-d64-support.tar.gz work with the latest mc-4.6.0pre1 ... I got it halfway working, but found some limitations which should be resolvable somehow, hope you can help. Here is the issue: On D64/D81 Images as used on C64 and related emulation platforms, there is a rather easy to handle program named c1541 being supplied with the most common emulator VICE (binary name is x64). The URL mentioned above is using c1541 as a base for the extfs filesystem. Another program I found is no longer supported and uses another external program. The author isn't going to extend the program anymore. Now, after the longish start, D64 images have files with names of up to 16 character. These may contain spaces, '/' and all kind of other characters. We found it to be incomfortable to parse out the spaces, since the linux filesystems handle such stuff nicely usually. Currently only '/' and '@' are escaped and awk 'gsub'ed' to a '_' ... I found, that especially leading spaces in filenames cause tremendous problems towards midnight commander. I also did a quick cross-compare with the supplied zip filesystem. A file containing e.g. " test" and "test.d64" can be entered fine, but only "test.d64" can be extracted. " test" only can be extracted using e.g. unzip. Though, MC handles (space)files on the normal filesystems just fine. Can this poroblem be surrounded ? For now I am putting quotes around the filename and therefore can atleast see names like " - piccy iffl data - " just fine. Extracting them fails though, due to a problem with my bash knowledge (yet) ... But that should be possible to solve ... :) Two more small questions ... on common files with no spaces or funky stuff no such problems come up, just when copying a file into the archive using c1541 again, MC moans about: Cannot chown target file "/data/c64/d64/t~d64#d64/README" Function not implemented (38) Afterwards the file was copied fine to the D64-Image, but MC keeps telling me it has 755 as permission, although only r--r--r-- OR rw-rw-rw- are actually possible in the list function there is. Is it possible to directly flush the cache somehow, or tell MC some different behaviour here ? (C-r doesn't really re-read the archive contents for me. it should, hm ?) Sorry again for the long mail .. I have been reading the archives here and on the normal list, but didn't get much information about my problems. Also reading the manpages, files I found on the source and extended google searching didn't help much ... :( l8r -- Count Zero - CyberpunX / SCS * TRC Retro Replay Home - http://rr.c64.org _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
