I noted that Squeak 3.5 couldn't open anything on a Zip disc.
Ned Konz <ned at bike-nomad.com> asked:
Hmm... Wonder why that is. What version of the VM are you using?
Squeak 3.5.0b4 Classic
is what I see in the menu bar.
What happens when you try to open the file read-only, like:
FileDirectory readOnlyFileNamed: 'Zip Disk:Fred'
or whatever it's called?
(a) The code that couldn't open the file _was_ trying to open it read-only,
and the ZIP-disc is not write-protected.
(b) What happens in Squeak 3.5#5180 when I ask
FileDirectory readOnlyFileNamed: 'ZIP-100:frags.gif'
is a MessageNotUnderstood error.
Did you mean
(FileDirectory on: 'ZIP-100') readOnlyFileNamed: 'frags.gif' ???
==> pops up "frags.gif does not exist/choose another name/cancel"
Or did you mean
FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: 'ZIP-100:frags.gif' ???
which gives the same answer?
It doesn't seem to matter which or what sort of file I choose.
If it's on the Zip disc, Squeak can't open it, although everything
else I've tried _can_. If I copy it to the hard disc, Squeak _can_
open it. (But of course, not display it.)
