question about getting Multiplan working on Xenix

(1/3) > >>

Todd:
Hi,

I'm trying to get Multiplan working on Xenix. I've following the directions below (fantastic!), but when I go to write the modified file to a physical disk DC42 says that the image is corrupted and won't let me proceed. DC42 likes the unmodified file, so the file I'm starting with is fine.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks,

Todd

Likely it's just the checksum. You could try re-opening it and closing it with lisafsh-tool.
If that doesn't work, try booting BLU on your Lisa and using that to restore to physical media.

Todd:
Many thanks. That's exactly the problem, DC42 reports checksum problem. I'll investigate lisafsh-tool (I only know it from trying to hack Multiplan) or, worst case, use BLU.

you'd just run it like this, piping an echo to it would cause it to close the image when EOF is reached on stdin


--- Code: ---echo | lisafsh-tool multiplan.dc42

--- End code ---

It worked! Thank you thank you! Multiplan lives!

I've made several "worksheets" and it's impressive.

The help system is excellent for getting up to speed. Interesting that "save" and "load" are subsets of "transfer" (i.e. save is "transfer save" and load is "transfer load").

Has anyone had any luck trying to print? (Being lazy - I haven't dived into any lp stuff).

Next up I'm going to attach a terminal to the serial port to try to run multiple Multiplan instances. One is not enough!
