#DISP.ARC is gone!
Message #143
Where does the file DISP.ARC which was at one time in lib 1 now exist? This file was a composition of Don's articles mostly on the Bridgeboard. George
Programming help
Message #142
I'm looking for some expert advise on segmentation. I'm pretty well versed on most aspects of programing but haven't wrote a large program until now. Can anyone help me with the options of the linker. I guess I'm on the track or something. The manual is just a bit on…
Vic, what I meant is that I have grown accustomed to not using d0,d1,a0,a1 for storing stuff between lib calls. (grin) Khalid.

#void UnLock(lock)? Bah!
Message #138
Khalid, it's generally OK to trust the docs if they say a value is returned in a register. But certainly NOT otherwise. Victor A. Wagner, Jr.

I musta mis-understood your message. I woulda sworn there was an -OR- in there . I concur, an RCS does NOT a cross development system make. I sorta wish there were one too as I have a couple of jobs (NOT on the Amiga which need doing) . Victor A.…

I'm here to explore Multimedia Authoring tools on the Amiga, with an eye towards cross platform development. I'm especialy interested in an environment called…

AMAXII <> Supra WORDSYNC
Message #126
I own both the Supra WordSync and the original AMax. I ordered the AMax II upgrade, but have not received it yet so I have not yet been albe to try out the combo. Supra's tech support gave me the info concerning the 1.10 software. The 1.10 system software supports…
Tom, The quote is: "Except as noted, system library functions use registers d0,d1,a0 and a1 as scratch registers and you MUST consider their former contents to be LOST after a system library call. The contents of other registers will be preserved. System functions which provide a result return the result…

John, You sound like a pretty knowledgeable Citizen/Amiga user. I think you realize that the EpsonQ driver supplied with Workbench 1.3+ works, OK, and you are looking for a driver that supports more of the GSX-140's features. With that in mind, I'll say that I don't know of a driver…
The AmigaDOS manual doesn't say anything about trashing registers. The good ol' HP-41C PPC Standard required functions that put garbage into a register to say "x,y,z : garbage." The RKM says d0-d1/a0-a1 are scratch, but it also says to see the AmigaDOS manual for anything to do with dos.library and…
I'll need to setup a test program, but what appears to be happening is that if I call Lock(), then AllocMem(), then UnLock(), then FreeMem(), I get a change in the largest block available. My code would work just as well with Lock(), AllocMem(), FreeMem(), UnLock() though I'd have to…

#void UnLock(lock)? Bah!
Message #114
Tom, I know others have told you why, I'll just add that the fact that d0-d1/a0-a1 may be trashed after a system call is documented. Don
SMOVIE
Message #113
I have tried Smovie. I really like it EXCEPT I can't get it to go into overscan. I have set the screen to different sizes, but it still vanishes about an inch from the top of the screen. I have tried to reset my workbench. Nothing works! Is there a…

Setpatch
Message #112
In all the confusion of moving day, I'm not CERTAINwhere SETPATCH1.6 is, but I think you will probably find it in Library 11 of AmigaTech. If you have problems, please ask me and I'll locate it for you. .Betty
Peter, Like I mentioned to John, I've seen notices about cross deveopment systems here in the libraries. Are these just code transformers, and not cross compilers, or what? ?|^] Ray Lewis
John: I'm not a user of these things, but I have noticed that there are around a half dozen C code formatters in the libs here. ARen't any of them worthwhile? r ?|^] Ray Lewis
John: How about this one: "Pain and tribulation are good for the soul." ?|^] Ray Lewis
It will be limited to the 4 Amiga forums only.

Message #106
Steve, Once it gets setup, will the Amiga FF locate those (admittedly few) files which appear in the various non-Amiga-specific fora? Or will it be limited to the Amigafora? Just currious.

Communication
Message #105
Anthony, The Communications library is Library 5 of AmigaUser. I know – it is hard to find things right now – but once you're used it it, it will be much easier. For instance – lots of those utilities that used to be all jammed into one huge lib now…

#Fragmentation
Message #102
Thol, you got me interested… I played with memory fragmentation a bit and if I free all the blocks that I allocated the largest chunks recovers correctly. Now, of course, if another task happens to be allocating other stuff after you did you allocating (which is highly probable on the…

Where's Imtronics?
Message #101
Steven – I've been trying to get in touch with them as well. I'm currently considering driving by their office (it's about 15 minutes from where I live) and seeing how the "renovations" are going. I certainly hope they're not OOB, 'cause I was just about ready to upgrade to…

Amiga 500 in Sears
Message #55
I'm sure the NEC will be a nice little machine but give the Lynx a look before you buy. By the time the NEC hits the market Lynx should have quite a few games out. Lynx looks to be more comfortable to hold too. Believe me, I'm not boosting Atari…
Kurt, I'm presuming you've tried RAD: and it doesn't work, have you called GVP about this…and if so, what did they say? I seem to remember reading somewhere (and I could be wrong) that the GVP board, when it receives a reset, clears all memory…thus killing any recoverable RAM disk…
just try clocking it at 12, even if it sez 10 mhz, it may work
I got the ModEvent stuf from BIX (D. Junod's code) I was told that an updated (post Devcon90) version would also be made available soon. I can dig up anf u/l the old version, but if you check on BIX wherther a newer one is around yet, I would be…
expansion bus. It gets pretty narrow in spots and has to go through several vias. Look at the Rejuvenator, it has .5 inch power busses to ensure good power. I may go to 6 layers to go to complete power planes to help the noise level in a future revision.…
Ron, there may be a couple more changes to lower Rejuvenator noise, which helps everything else. It's all additive. I will Email you when I have a good solution. At least we are going in the right direction! I agree that Lucas is very finicky about U9 and Xtal freq.…
William, I am almost certain that I just passed PowerPacker in Library 5 of AMigaUser. We have just moved every file in the forum, so we are not quite as certain about things as we were, and will be. 🙂 .Betty
Richard, the developers' froum will be in library 16 of AmigaUser – and I hope that the original registration can be carried over, but I'm not sure about it. Steve Ahlstrom will have to answer that one for you. .Betty
The amiga *does* have TCP/IP networking, as well as Novell. John
I'd call Windows an Amiga-wannabe. John
