Hi Nick! strange, i really don't know what the problem could be do you use a russian XP version? i dont know where i shoiuld start looking for the keyboard problem Stefan / AH

Hi! as a little side note: in the last beta you can open the SCREEN MODE OPTION SCREEN with SHIFT-F12 and press F3 the last mode in the list should now be the maximum possible screenmode for your system Stefan / AH

hi! the complete LINUX Runtime-Library of Virtual Pascal is not very advanced and only does the most basic things i will have to invest some weeks as soon as possible to work out most of the problems that exist with the terminal (keyboard, mouse, screen) but i cannot promise anything big anytime soon, especially because the LINUX terminal stuff is very sophisticated (at least for me who is used to low lever DOS/WINDOWS code) Stefan/AH

hi! this is because of the new keyboard polling i mentioned in the news sorry, this has been fixed for the next release (soon) Stefan/AH

Hi! as you can see from my todo list (end of ah_news.txt) there are a lot of bugs or new things i want to do with NDN and then there is the fact that i want to keep DPMI32/WIN32 and LINUX working, which also requires more work on new features/bug fixes than if i would just have to work on the W32 port f.ex. the bug report you've sent to me had some bugs that were easy to fix, so i did worked on them (which i unfortunately cannot do everytime with all bugs) sometimes i even get to learn new features of NDN i didn't know until a user tells me about its existence or i get new ideas for additions (like, LINUX f.ex. now also saves directories like W32 NT, although LINUX does not even have seperate drives, this feature was almost a simple copy of the WIN32 code to the LINUX plattform) thanks for all the nice words today (from me, Denis and Daniil) Stefan/AH

hi! the idea is worth considering (someday :P) in the next months i want to start a FTP VFS maybe extending this to HTML won't be too hard? thanks for the post Stefan/AH

Hi hoak! thanks a lot for the nice words, it is always good to hear that i don't maintain the site though, this is done by the MUXE team (Denis aka Necromancer and Daniil) i guess NDN is not stable enough to be integrated into a distribution yet and, NDN seems not very known accross the net, at least a search for newer version links/reviews shows that i really look forward to work more on the LINUX port as NDN is still obviously more DOS/W32 oriented in many parts (file attributes, etc...) (i am still working on system independent problems, a look at the end of the ah_news.txt file in the archives gives an overview of what is to be done/planned) again, thank you :) and: im always open for comments, improvement ideas and bug reports even if they get posted repeatedly accidentely Stefan/AH

hi! new builds exist, but they are BETA releases everyone can use them however read and get the last release here http://forums.muxe.com/index.php?act=ST&f=...iew=getlastpost try 9501 and post the bug if it still exists :) Stefan/AH

hi BMW thanks a lot i would never have found this because i always start NDN from NDN and this always uses the screenmode from the parent process i wonder why NT always uses 80x300 as default anyway thanks again Stefan/AH

Hi! oh no! you are the 2nd one who reports this anyone else has this problem? Stefan/AH

Hi and thank you Stefan / AH

...what the SmartBackindent option does/should do? i can only see ONE result: a string ' test string' becomes 'test string is it supposed to work like SMART TABS, just in reverse direction? it is copied code from 2.13 of ChemoDun, it has the same behaviour in his and my version Stefan/AH

...soon... Stefan / AH

Hi! Although i like the idea of open source software we wont make NDN open source. i don't see the way NDN would take if anyone could dl the source and do with it what he/she wants. i also don't think NDN would have any advantages or better/faster development regards Stefan/AH

Hi! no, sorry, it actually didn't work i used some code from DNOSP to support this in NT+ OS's and in the next versions of NDN Stefan/AH

hi! good decision 0. there is no up-to-date FAQ/DOC, i dont have time to write one 1. what shadows do you mean? do you mean the color? 2. all keys regarding ENTER are used already in NDN you can assign SHIFT+ENTER in OPTIONS.EXTENSION_FILE with this code: *( @start !.! ) 3.ouh, a little bug: write this *;*, apparently only the second mask is parsed correctly 4.im not an expert with FILE EXTENSIONSm but i will try to explain it correctly ALT-S: sort by extension; [X] sort by group index OPTIONS.FILE_MANAGER.HIGHLIGHT_GROUPS give the EXE/ARCHIVE groups the smallest index values (>0) 5. sorry, im no RegExp guru, maybe another user of the forum can help you? 6.i dont know why always the root directory is shown it should work correctly Stefan/AH

hi! no, english is perfect :) BUG1 i have discovered this at the end of last week it will be worked on BUG2 im also working on this problem at the moment :) BUG3 hm, i cannot reproduce this effect on my PC thanks Stefan/AH

hi! 1) yes, the clock isnt correctly set i will fix this now....done! 2) look at AH_NEWS.TXT, at the bottom is a todo list, there i have written that the DOS BOX CLOSE doesnt work for W32 problem is that i wasnt yet able to catch any messages to the window from inside NDN, so maybe this is not possible at all and i have to remove this option from the W32 versions 3) thanks 4) a. i can resize it, no matter what! b. oh, you mean the different BG color in descriptions? 5) UFF!!! sorry, in the beta upload i disabled that code because i tried around with it in LINUX and forgot to uncomment it again 6) there is no possibility to set the mode from the ini all is saved in the .dsk file try this: Shift-F12 -> CTRL-INSERT -> write 120x55 -> F2 -> 120x55 from the list now it should work as you want btw, there is another problem with SHIFT-F12: RESET SCREEN MODES (F3) does/can hang up NDN i just discovered and fixed that Stefan/AH
