Curday.dat Data Format

[AriX]

It is possible to change the time zone. For example, to change the time zone to Central (GMT-6), change this:

Code: Select all

AE3366N..4YYNNYYNNl..0.DREV 5.KHHR.Hawthorne.91.91.131.1348

...to this:

Code: Select all

AE3366N..6YYNNYYNNl..0.DREV 5.KHHR.Hawthorne.91.91.131.1348

Known time zone codes:
4 — Pacific (GMT-8)
6 — Central (GMT-6)

Therefore, Mountain (GMT-7) is likely 5, and Eastern (GMT-5) is likely 7.

Great

Okay as you might have guessed, make a new HD from a folder on your Host OS. Assign it DH2 (or change the script whatever you prefer) and change the startup sequence to the following:

;main startup script

failat 21
assign ENV: dh2:
makedir ram:T
assign T: ram:T

assign c: dh2:c
assign s: dh2:s
assign df0: dismount
assign df0: dh2:

newcli "CON:0/0/640/200/ Prevue" from s:uv-ver
endcli >nil

I have tried this, but it does not work. When I try to start it, for every "assign" or "makedir" it throws "file is not executable" and then throws an ER005 ("Report Error Code ER005 to Prevue Technical Services"). What am I doing wrong?

Are you somehow using a 1.x kickstart instead of 2.x?

Edit:
Also, does anyone know how to get the non-gradient blue "announcements" in the listings? When I try to add new ones, it causes the time to keep getting set back an hour and when I reset WinUAE, the listings go unavailable.

No idea what you mean... Also are you adding listings over serial or curday.dat?

I'm using curday.dat. Also, i'm talking about the red / blue / not highlighted things, example the one that says Effective Immediatly and all that stuff about office hours

Hmm. What do they look like in hex when you add them?

No, I am using the same Kickstart 2.04 ROM I have been using ("Kickstart v2.04 rev 37.175 (1991)(Commodore)(A500+).rom").

Hard to say! on the face of it, sounds like your install is goosed!! What do you have set up at the moment, all files on the hard drive? Wonder if they're powerpacked....

The highlight stuff is covered at the beginning of this thread, look at AriX's second post.

Did you by chance copy everything on DF0 to your DH2 instead of just some of the files?
