[TC 11.01] TOTALCMD.INC - Wrong description for cm_NTinstallDriver and cm_NTremoveDriver

[white]

Description for cm_NTinstallDriver and cm_NTremoveDriver in the command browser seems to be wrong.

cm_NTinstallDriver=2301;Install parallel port driver on NT
cm_NTremoveDriver=2302;Remove parallel port driver on NT

Shouldn't that be:

cm_NTinstallDriver=2301;Install parallel port driver for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10
cm_NTremoveDriver=2302;Remove parallel port driver for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10

Similar to what is mentioned in the file comments of the drivers:

CGLPT64.SYS Parallel port driver for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 x64
CGLPTNT.SYS Parallel port driver for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10

It doesn't go up to 11?

Only the Help does

Under Windows NT..11, the driver cglptnt.sys is used. On 64-bit Windows, cglpt64.sys is used.

I would ask that nothing be changed on this point. Otherwise it's an eternal 'hare and hedgehog' game, which is completely pointless. And: Everyone, who uses it, knows what it means. Anyone who is bothered by it can add it individually to their file, for example like this: ... and above

Just change "NT" to "NT family".

[Galizza]

I'm agree with white not everyone know what NT familly means, so a detailed descrpition is always good for beginners

[hi5]

I think the INC file is used for the cm_commandbrowser which is used in various locations throughout TC, so errors and improvements need to be made.

[Usher]

Such a detailed description should be available in TC Help. INC files should contain short fixed descriptions IMHO.

Then maybe use the word Windows instead of NT and everyone will understand it

Thumbs up

It only works on Windows NT based systems, not on Windows 95/98/ME. There you can't permanently install the driver, but it isn't needed anyway because any user can just load the driver when connecting (no restrictive permissions). Therefore I can't just change NT to Windows...

This would be wrong because the group Windows includes 3.11, 95, 98, ME (Shiver), NT, 2000, Xp, Vista (Shiver), 7, 8, (was eaten by 7), 10, 11, etc
and NT is only a PART of that group so therefor on this one I agree with Joube that someone who uses it knows what he does and is not some random beginner.

[ghisler(Author)]

I changed it to Windows NT..11 for now.

Similar to what is mentioned in the file comments of the drivers:

CGLPT64.SYS Parallel port driver for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 x64
CGLPTNT.SYS Parallel port driver for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10

"11" was added for the 32-bit driver, but not for the 64-bit driver:

CGLPT64.SYS Parallel port driver for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 x64
CGLPTNT.SYS Parallel port driver for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10/11

Does that mean that it doesn't work with Windows 11 64-bit?

Moved back to "TC11.x bug reports (English)" because Descript.ion is not fully updated
