- I just got SUM in the mail from Symantec. In playing with it I found
- two (apparent) bugs.
-
- 1. Symantec tools refuses to directly accesr numbered
- larger than 32767. The only way to get at such sectors is to
- figure out what file they are in or single step stafrom
- sector number 32767. Somebody needs to use a long integer here.
-
- 2. HD Tuneup refuses to optimize some of my larger file (system for
- instance) and gives a 'cannot optimize' error. The manual says
- that this indicates that there was not enough contous free
- space to defragment the file. This cannot be the case since
- my hard drive currently has about 20Mb contiguous freee.
-
-
- Anyone know if these are fixed in the rumored SUM update?

- I have talked with the author of SFVol INIT, Ray Lau, and he is not
- sure yet why there is an incompatability here. He seems to feel that
- the Shield INIT (which is the one what crashes, not SFVol) is making
- some assumptions that are not true after SFVol loads (trap adresses,
- maybe...)
- The current work around (tested with SFVol INIT 1.5, but should work
- with 1.1 too.) is to change the name of SFVolINIT to Vol INIT so that
- it loads after Shield, and not before. If you do this, things work fine
- and you have both of them running.
-
- FLAME ON**
- There seems to be a number of INIT now in the bitstream that require
- them to be loaded in a certain order in relation to others. I would
- just like to put up this little flame to INIT writers (hey I write them
- too, I can flame!!) that they don't do things that they shouldn't, so
- that we don't have to figure out which order to load things! FLAME OFF**
