Summary:
If backup copies of files are stored in the \DELETED subdirectory by
the M Editor, typing "undel" should bring up a listing of backup
copies. However, if the C 6.0, 6.0a, or 6.0ax version of UNDEL.EXE is
used, the following message will be displayed: "
0(0) bytes in 0 deleted files.
The C 5.1 version of UNDEL.EXE will successfully bring up a listing of
backup copies saved by either the M Editor or the Programmer's
WorkBench (PWB).
More Information:
This problem can be reproduced by setting the text backup switch in
the M section of the TOOLS.INI file to "undel". After saving various
copies, backups are added to the \DELETED subdirectory and a listing
can be brought up by using the C 5.1 UNDEL.EXE. Using the C 6.0
version of UNDEL.EXE causes the erroneous message listed above to be
displayed. This incompatibility was caused by adding OS/2 version 1.2
filename support to UNDEL.EXE and EXP.EXE.
As a workaround, rename the C 5.1 UNDEL.EXE to UNDEL51.EXE and the C
6.0 UNDEL.EXE to UNDEL60.EXE.
