Filing service error in "Filing.Replace.Bytes" #14

Open nbriggs opened 2 years ago

nbriggs commented 2 years ago

Attempting to create a new file on a Dodo filing service from Interlisp (Medley) failed with "Error in Courier procedure FILING.REPLACE.BYTES (UNDEFINED.ERROR 42)"

yes, the Courier-Operation Filing.ReplaceBytes ist not implemented and still on my lazy todo list.

The Pilot-based OSes (Star..GlobalView, Tajo) don't use it, so it was not so urgent, until Interlisp-D and Medley became new clients to Dodo...

so it just climbed a bit upward on the priority list

just uploaded a new version of Dodo, the new dist.zip has a Dodo version that implements the missing procedure ReplaceBytes.

With this version, i was abled to open an .tedit file and modify it, then save the changes with put to a different place on the remote file server.

Nice. I'll probably get a chance to try it today, but if not it'll be Thursday before I can get to it.
