Unicon Book Home Page
Errata in the prepublication drafts
- system(), under Windows, does not invoke a command shell and does
not support "internal commands" within a command shell. Such
commands might be accessed by calling system("cmd /C " || cmd).
Future versions of the Windows Unicon will automatically prepend
"cmd /C" before the commands:
"dir", "cd", "chdir", "copy", "ren", "rename", "del", "erase",
"md", "mkdir", "rd", "rmdir", "vol", "label", "verify", "type",
"break", "cls", "chcp", "ctty", "date", "echo", "lh", "loadhigh",
"lock", "path", "pause", "prompt", "set", "time", "unlock", "ver".
- Chapter 17 listings use wrong method names (show() instead of
show_modal())
- Chapter 17 listings use wrong attribute strings (colwidth instead
of column_width)
- In Chapter 17's TextField constructors, the size attribute string
may not end in a comma when the height will default. Use
"size=129", not "size=129,"
