 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hi, I tried this week to write my first app for CMM2, something similar to Norton (Volkov...) commanders for DOS. Of course, it has limited functionality, but for me already works better than build in FILES.... Napoleon Commander But, be carefully, it needs longer testing!!!.

Very nice application Jiri  This reminds me of the old but excellent Xtree Gold. |

Yes, a very nice job Jiri - it also reminds me of Xtree Gold. This will be a very useful application. Greg |

Norton Commander -- that takes me back. I also had a DOS based programme that would "archive" your shareware library to a series of 3'5" floppies - but accessed via a Norton like screen -- it then prompted you for the correct disk. Getting all misty eyed here... N Entropy is not what it used to be |

Added support for external VIEWER (F3) and ACTION (ENTER), so it can be extended. As first external action is included Epsilon's MAR extractor (modified code) and as viewer MAR viewer. Jiri Napoleon Commander and SimplEd for CMM2 (GitHub), Â CMM2.fun |

I get 'error in line 569: expected a string', running from files or prompt. Just updated to 5.05.06RC20. Steve |

While you wait, replace the FUNCTION NCdateTime() with FUNCTION NCdateTime(f as string) AS STRING 'prepare date and time of file LOCAL STRING dt on error skip dt = MM.INFO$(MODIFIED f) IF dt<>"" THEN dt = MID$(dt, 3, 14) NCdateTime = dt END FUNCTION I have another problem. I installed the program into a folder "NC" If I try and select that folder, the program gets stuck in a loop as if the keyboard is repeating the enter key. It only happens with the "NC" program folder. EDIT I have been unable to repeat this bug so I can't expect you to find it. An observation: Your 'sort' is case dependent. In my File Manager, I cheated by displaying all file names in uppercase to solve that issue. I also added a space to the start of the directory name so that the directories always sort to the top. (The space is only there for display, not in the disk name) Jim Edited 2020-11-17 14:52 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit  MMBasic Help |

Hi Jim, I modified sort to be case insensitive. Your action with SPACE is unnecessary, every item name begins either with "D" (directory) or "F" (file) and so is sorted. I'm using it for more things, but in sort also puts DIRs before FILEs... With the stuck keys I have sometimes problem also in EDITOR, it was also reason not to use DEL as parallel to F8, because it looks like F=keys don't stuck so often and with DEL it will be disaster... NCdateTime left I so, because of newest change in RC21 (info is available also for DIRs), but thanks anyway. Jiri Napoleon Commander and SimplEd for CMM2 (GitHub), Â CMM2.fun |

New version of NC (0.40) with some bigger enhancements: less screen flickering A-Z keys jumps to item with this first char configuration screenshots of screen and dialogs (PRINT SCREEN/ALT+PRINT SCREEN) simple BMP (more POC for future viewers) extendability of viewers (F3) and actions (ENTER) with sample force HEX viewer with ALT+F3 status of Unsorted and Hidden files (can be switched On/Off with SHIFT+U, SHIFT+H) some bugfixes I'm sure I forgot something...

Hi Jiri, I'm interested in what you're showing in the screenshot. Are you building a C64 VIC emulator? Is that doable? Is there going to be a SID.inc as well? Epsilon CMM2 projects |
||||
| jirsoft Guru Joined: 18/09/2020 Location: Czech RepublicPosts: 532 |
Hi epsilon, yes, I'm trying to. Doable for sure, the question is speed... I took it like mental training, so first I wouldn't to use CSUBs at all, but later because some limitations (no change font definition during of program run) or speed (I started with execution speed about 1% of C64), I added some. I also thought that I will take some ideas from Peter's 6502 emulator, but there are bugs and is slower than my code. Right now I'm working on NC, but next week I will continue on MM64. And for SID no, first I'm not able to do it (maybe later some basic "sounds") and I think SID itself is BIG project. I'm writing just 6502 inclusive illegal codes, simplified VIC (just TEXT and BITMAP modes, no interrupt...), basic CIA (memory, IRQ). My goal is to be able run BASIC and MC programs, that are not using any speciality, but too little time and too many projects (+ work  )...Jiri Napoleon Commander and SimplEd for CMM2 (GitHub), Â CMM2.fun |

@jirsoft I'd like to say NC is an absolutely cracking program. It's in my path and I use it all the time! |

Thanks. I'm glad you still found the time to write NC. It's an excellent tool.  Epsilon CMM2 projects |

Performing get info on a directory exits with error "error in line 154: NCWAITINGON is not declared". Version 0.41 FW 5.06.00b2 Really nice work!! Steve |

Nitpick (defined as engaging in fussy or pedantic fault finding  ), 'PARRENT' should be PARENT .Maybe you have future plans for 'Cancel' & 'Ok' in question dialogs, but as they currently only respond (apparently) to ESC and Enter...maybe leave 'buttons' out, unless mouse support is coming. Steve |

Or have them respond to a keyboard shortcut with accelerators? (O)k and C(a)ncel? I forget the TUI standards for those. A bit like this:  |
