Jerome Fine replies:
After 10 years, I finally (by accident) just tried the correct combination.
But it
still takes TWO commands to do what should be done with just ONE command:
COPY/DEVICE/NOQU DU0: DU1:
which results in the following command:
COPY/DEVICE/NOQU DU0:/START:0./END:65534. DU1:/START:0.
I then followed with this EXPLICIT command (just thought I should try it
today
and found that it works):
COPY/DEVICE DU0:/START:65535./END:65535. DU1:/START:65535.
After that I checked the result (actually before and after the previous
command):
DIFF/BINARY DU0:/START:0./END:65535. DU1:/START:0.
and found that the last ONE block COPY command had indeed worked. If
you actually read this far and you would like a copy of an enhanced BINCOM,
let me know via an e-mail and after I have fixed a few bugs, I will release
it
for hobby use. The DEC distributed version of BINCOM does NOT have the
ability to read block 65535.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
