All version s of v5 Allfix require a key. When I receive the copies
of the source code, it was all for v6, and nothing vor v5.
Thanks
Ken
Get an updated version from the allfix website.
What is the LAST updated version that does not require a key file?
I've tried the 6.xx releases and all they seem to do is peg out my
/2 VM. Is there a 5.xx release that does not require a key file?
And finally, who is the current maintainer of the software?
Ken Johnson has the sources (current) and is working on
Allfix but I do not know the status of work/s.
It is a big project, and it is still in the work. I have been
reversing a lot of the mail tossing portion removed and just going
back to only doing a file tossing as was originally done.
As far as I know all v5 where produced by the original
programmer so the reg file is needed.
I do not know if Ken still maintains the reg system and
although I have the one from 2002 here it sits on a Linux system and it
is not straght forward to use assuming I can or should. I got the code
base to fix allfix in the 2000's but had a lot of issues with missing
sources which required a major rebuild and my skill set with Pascal was
just plain not good enough so I passed it back.
I do have the key system, but all the keys that I have attemoted to
creat for a v5 setup are failing. The v6.18 is the first verion that
no longer requires a key. There may be a key system in the future
again, but it is not in the works at this time.
Hi Ken,Version 6.1 is now on the website. It does not require a key. There may still be some bugs that I haven't found yet, but please report then if you do find then and I can get them knocked out as quick as I can.
Damn shame that THE BEST file processor is now
crippleware. Can't
imagine wrting 70,000 lines of code and losing it to
antiquity. I and
many others still find v5.13 for DOS relevant. I would
dearly love to
get a regged copy.
So if there is no chance of creating registrations forI have found the code for the keys, and I have compiled then. When I tested them on my system Allfix would complain that they are invalid.
v5.13, would you
grant permission to "SHARE" a registartion with someone
who has one?
Or is there yet still a possibility of getting the source
code and
generating a key?
Thanks Ken!
