 In hostfs? Sounds a good idea.

Wouldn't two transformations, one for Host - RISC OS, f(), and the
other RO - Host, g(), that mean f(g(f(g(foo == foo be best.
Otherwise, I'd have a file with ASCII 32 in its name under Linux, that
would appear as ISO-8859-1 160 under RISC OS, I'd then save that,
creating a file with ISO-8859-1 160 along the original Linux file, and
then how would the two files appear under RO?  Wouldn't they clash?
Even if the ISO-8859-1 160 under RO turns back into ASCII 32 that still
doesn't stop there being two files that clash.

I expect it's already a solved problem and we should do whatever NFS
under RO did.  Probably some sort of `any character outside allowable RO
ones gets escaped' scheme.

Cheers,


Ralph.

 Does anyone have a blank (or even full) ST506 disk image to that they 
 could put up for download somewhere. (and also the lines from their 
 .arcemrc for configuring it).

I have a couple of 64MB hard disc images I created, which appears to be
the largest the hardware can cope with without bitching.  I also have a
511MB image for use with my IDEFS for ArcEm.  Email me if you're
interested.

  I've an idea about that, mail sent offlist.
  
  Please don't do this unless it's not relevant to ArcEm.  We've already
  had plenty of confusion caused by things like that.
 
 What on EARTH is with all this animosity on here?
 

What's the point in having a mailing list for discussing ArcEm if people
aren't going to use it?

We are using it though.  Just not for every last spam of technical
blah and ideas that goes on.

Case in point was two developers wanting a discussion about something.
If they met face to face would you expect a transcription of their
meeting or something?


Hohum,
