Hyperion Entertainment Message Boards

@nbache Nothing ultimate here. But it works for me so far. It slows down WB boot a lot, compared to before, but at least I now *know* that the network is available and as I already wrote, it solved a bunch of boot problems i had...heck, even my cold boot with the case button works again. :-? I typed...

@@nbache Possible, yes. But right now I'd like to have a non-script solution through single line commands. I was rewriting the contextmenu commodities config file yesterday to use AISS images instead of the few that came with the program (finally all entries have Icons now). Unfortunately the progra...

@MikeSteed That would be a thing to test, thank you I have lots of stuff starting after the network *ought* to be up. Some personal AREXX scripts relying on working internet access. I wrote myself a script that checks to *really* make sure internet is available before starting the remaining scripts....

One in particular is bothering me since years now and i'd like to know if there is an option to turn it off or change it's behaviour otherwise, or maybe even enhance it's functionality?

Thank you *very* much for this thread and description of the problem. I was scratching my head for a long time, trying to find out why my system randomly stalls during boot. I did everything to find out and came close to the date command, but never blamed it. My problem was, that i had a >NIL; after...

It looks like it's tripping over the ` char.

But that's just guesswork

edit:

Thank you for confirming

Do this in a shell: requestchoice Version "`c:version file full MUI:MUI`" "OK" you'll get a nice window telling you the version of MUI. Now do this in a shell: requestchoice Version"`c:version file full MUI:MUI`" "OK" (missing space between Version and the com...

@nbache

Thanks for the answer

Found it, caused by the screen updates of CANDI

Heh, indeed

edit:

otoh...
is C:Copy responsible for opening the copy *window* when i drag and drop stuff (i thought it is only used for shell copy stuff)?
Or is it rather part of ASyncWB/DOSLib (which would be back at Hyperion then)?
