OASIS Gossip

Latest OASIS2 & ICE News and Gossip (13/07/96)

Not a lot of new gossip this time around. ICE development has been slowed down this week, due to Dave being away on a business trip to the States. Oasis2 is progessing nicely though, with more bug fixes and new code being implemented.

The MIME dialog is in there and it's now very easy to send MIME emails using the iconic control system. (I still think Phil should add in code to handle RFC1437, but he's not willing to try it). I wonder why .

Dave has also revealed the existance of an internal mental to-do list whereby many untold ideas lurk, which would scare the hell outof us users. Phil did mention that he is saying nowt about this one, but if we come up with a suggestion that is on the hidden list, he will admit to it. I think I've mamanged to hit one or two of them with the new list, but there are many others still remaining undiscovered.

I've also had comments from some people, stating that this file is getting a little long, so; should it be cut down in size, and if so what should be cut out of it...

We can also say hello to Denesh Bhabuta (Danny) who has joined us as an official beta tester.

Good news as well ref the checksum errors on the TT. The following came into me from Boris:

Just made a wonderful discovery. I let Dave and Phil know,but I thought you might want to disseminate it.As you know, I have had a hell of a time with checksum errors,as did Niel? on my TT with Oasis. I was sure that somethng was not being addressed right in the hdwe. At any rate, Stik did something different thanOasis. Well I got the new HSMODa07 from ftp.uni-kl.de and installed it,and the chksum errors seem to have DISSAPPEARED!!!!!Apparently Harun fixed whatever was bothering Oasis in the TT!Let everyone know! A number of fixes are there, one of the more importantto me is that modem 1 can now be redirected to serial 2, so that I don'thave to switch cables anymore!!!And I don't get missing bytes anymore. Tell Neil to try it and to let me know if it fixes his too.:-))))

I too have now installed HSMODA07 on my Falcon, and am a very happy man! The reason for this is that with the older HAMODA06 I used to get CRC errors using any speed higher than 57600bps with my 28.8k modem. I'm now using 115200 with no problems at all, and an increased cps rate when downloading binaries!
