[MiNT] Security again

[Joerg_Westheide@su.maus.de (Jörg Westheide)]

Hi Konrad!

KMK>(sorry for not using umlauts, but I am unable to make them with this
KMK>keyboard)
That's really no problem

KMK>what is Calvino? :-)
A font selector

KMK>Of course. The point of the proposal was to fix the security
KMK>hole (or: to make it fixable, which is not quite the same) with
KMK>keeping the compatibility with old application software
You seem to have an interesting definition of compatibility... ;-)

KMK>of course, not keeping the original CJar functionality (like
KMK>*everyone* can write stuff to it and it means anything).
And that is something I consider t be very problematic.
Of course it would have been better if Atari had made another, better,
definition of the cookie jar (interface), but they didn't

KMK>My proposal does not quite break this function of the cookie
KMK>jar (unless you load a TSR from the desktop, but well, this problem
KMK>is also solveable, by making an update of the global cookie jar with
KMK>the contents of private jar attributed to the TSR, when this one
KMK>calls Ptermres()).
There can be programs which are no TSRs, but insert some useful information
into the jar

Bye
