Hoppi 1.3.2 Release

[JDW]

Paul,

I installed the highly praised HP48 backup software BKUP46 to my 48GX today and then proceeded to press the BKUP key on the calc to backup to my iMac with Hoppi 1.3.2 open and ready. (I had no cards in the 48GX, and only a few libraries in the calc's port 0 RAM.) BKUP46 backed up one 52410 byte file named "HPAUG15.BAK" to my iMac just fine, and then it proceeded to download something else separately (which seems odd, since I think it should backup everything into one file). But before it finished, I saw an error on the calc and on Hoppi. And in addition to the "HPAUG15.BAK" file was a second file named "L1303.0" -- whatever that is. Anyway, both errors vanished before I could write them down, and then a subsequent error in Hoppi as follows:



It was after that last error message that I I clicked on the View menu in Hoppi and opened both the Packet Logger and the Message Logger, but both were blank. What would have cleared both logs?

I then clicked the Reset button in Hoppi, deleted both files ("HPAUG15.BAK" & "L1303.0") from my iMac, and pressed the BKUP menu key again on my Calc. It started backing up to "L1303.0" for some reason, and after a few packets finished it created a second "HPAUG15.BAK" file and proceeded to transfer 830 packets (52397 bytes) when Hoppi gave me an "unsupported command" error, followed by the second error shown in my screenshot above.

This second time I tried the backup, I had both the Packet Logger and Message Logger windows open during the backup, and this time Packet Logger retained all the information, while Message Logger was still blank. But when I then closed the Packet Logger window and reopened it, it was blank. Is that right? Am I supposed to keep both windows open and then never close them in order to see the logs, otherwise the log data will be deleted?

Please note that I have transferred many games and libraries from my iMac to my 48GX via Hoppi 1.3.2 over the past week, and this is the first problem. So I guess it's just a bad piece of software (despite all the praise I've read given to BKUP46) rather than a problem with Hoppi.

Thanks.
