2162.0. "FF163 ? on WJG::" by DISCVR::HAXTON () Wed Jan 25 1989 20:39

  
  H E L P .........

     I have downloaded the Fred Fish 163 files which I got from 
WJG::dua1:[amiga].  The files are FF163A.WRP, FF163B.WRP, and FF163.WRP.  I
have never used WARP before but I finally figured out that that must be what
the .WRP meant on the end of the file name so I retrieved WARP11 and used it to
decompress the files.  My problem is that FF163A decoded to tracks 0-19, FF163B
decoded to tracks 20-39, and FF163C decoded to tracks 60-79.  What happened to
tracks 40-59???  I assume that there must be another file which I do not have
which must contain these tracks.  Could not find any other portion in WJG::
     Does anyone know where it is or am I simply using the WARP utility
incorrectly.  I am still pretty new to DEC and downloading in general so that 
is quite possible.  Any help or instructional info would be greatly appreciated.
 
                                    Thanks,
                                    Kevin Haxton

2162.1	Oops	LOWLIF::DAVIS	That's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!	`Thu Jan 26 1989 02:52`	4
	You're right, there should be another WRP file with the other 25% of the disk. I'll bet it'll show up soon. Right, guys? :-) ...richard
2162.2	Thats all I got!	WJG::GUINEAU		`Thu Jan 26 1989 10:58`	18
	Hmm. Thats interesting. I never noticed it. The FF147%.WRP has an A,B,C, and D. I just noticed there is now FF168 - FF170 up on CGOU01::AMNEW: (where I got FF147 and 163). There on thier way over now. (in that window over there ---> :-) BTW - On WJG there are 2 areas to look in: WJG::AMIGA: WJG::AMNEW: (ok, so I plagiarized a bit!) AMNEW: is where I stuff stuff before I download it to home. John
2162.3	Misnaming problems?	LEVERS::PLOUFF	Wes Plouff	`Thu Jan 26 1989 12:53`	5
	Last week there were TWO versions of FF163C.WRP on CGOU01::. Then a couple of days later there was only FF163C.WRP;2. Obviously Clint is being a good doobie and purging his files regularly. But in this case it's caused a problem. Clint, could you please upload the real FF163C again?
2162.4	all straightned out now...	CGOU01::OAKLEY	What am I doing here...	`Thu Jan 26 1989 15:50`	16
	Clint, is on training for a couple of weeks. But, I think what happened was that ff163d.wrp was accidently named ff163c.wrp;2. So, I have uploaded both c & d again. For those who have already copied a,b,c I suggest that you rename c to d and copy the new c file to end up with the full set. BTW: does anybody have any specific requests for the latest disks. We have a local BBS who is keeping up to date with these files and we can get them during the day (usually only one disk per day because even at 2400 it takes almost an hour). wayne
2162.5	Oh YESSS!!! I WAnT MOre! GIVE mE More!	DNEAST::SEELEY_BOB		`Thu Jan 26 1989 16:54`	6
	Yes, I have a couple of specfic requests... I'll have to look up the disk numbers at home. I'll post them in the next day or so. Bob.
2162.6	Thanks for Help...	DISCVR::HAXTON		`Thu Jan 26 1989 19:58`	7
	Thanks for the help...everyone. It's a relief to know that I was not completely messing up.......messing up..........messing up...........messing up...... with WARP. Sorry,...................... I glitched for a second. Kevin
2162.7	FF37?	MEIS::ZIMMERMAN	Ninja turtles fight with honor!	`Thu Jan 26 1989 22:55`	4
	How about FF37, the disk with Tiny Smalltalk, hmmm, please??? - Cliff
