AMIGA, BIANARY
Message #3210
You should be able to type the file's name and the program will execute. What were you trying to type? If you're getting read/write errors on your disks, it's possible that you're popping the disks out of the drives too quickly. You've got to wait until the light on the…

Guru Help
Message #3209
There's a program in one of the libraries (I think System Utilities) called Guru. You can give it the number, and it will tell you what occurred. Steve

You'll find the ANTIFL.LZH program in library 11. The forums were expanded and we reorganized the libraries since that article appeared in AmigaWorld. Steve
Stack
Message #3207
I'm a little unfamiliar with some terms that I've come across. To begin with, what is a stack and how is it used in C? Chris
How much do you think the subscription will cost? I am already receiving Amiga World. Do you think they will send out free copies of the first iissue to Amiga World subscribers? There is a magazine called Amazing Amiga. It sometimes has quite a lot of information. I was looking…
Could you give me Matt Dillon's address, or is it somewhere online here?
Don, That's exactly what I've been doing. Actually, the hello world is just an example program (to show that I can't even get the beginner stuff to compile! 🙂 Thanks for any help… Regards, Allen
Hi Bob, I've been trying to use: 'lc -L HelloWorld' No quotes. The File is stored in ram: and called HelloWorld.c Regards, Allen
Ben; That may well be true, I seldom have less than two interlaced screens up at one time. 73, bill
Don; I am inclined to think so….. Most of the gurus that I have seen in recent years have all occured when switching screens. I am running conman and wshell. I have recently started trying MachIII and it MAY have increased the frequency slightly but I'm not sure. I do…
The Developer's Kit is only available from CBM, but the librarian of a local user's group tells me that he's allowed to give the includes & Amiga.lib to members. Can't verify that since I'm not a member & don't know CBM's policy on this, but you might want to ask…
#Help With SCSI Drives
Message #3198
A friend and I have come across a problem we can't seem to resolve. He is trying to connect TWO SCSI Hard Drives to a Commodore A2090A. We've both read the docs thoroughly but are still having problems. He needs to set the Logical Unit Number for each of the…
Ben, Oh…again for clarity..that PCWindow runs on it's own screen in 8 colors. Don
Ben, Ok…did that too…while on-line here. I've got the 640×400 terminal running, behind it a 640×400 CLI and then opened a PCWindow (640×200). I flipped between them…no problems, I moved them each down a bit so all 3 were visible at once and clicked between them. Popped the non-interlace screen…
Ben, Why load something I don't want or need? It's an option, one that I choose not to use. Don
Amazing is also talking about running a tech mag up the flagpole. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

Hey Don… try one non-interlace, and two interlace. My memory is prodding me that that's how one wakes that particular insect up. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

I *think* that bug may be 2 interlace screens and one non interlace screen… I truly don't remember. But it's _there_ BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

Mark, I don't live in a glass house, and I'm good at catching stones, from which follows I don't mind of you (or anyone else) throws them. I don't write bugfree code, nor do I profess to. Nor is it relevant. And Mark, as the primary designer of most of…

Perhaps you should load WorkBench. It is part of the OS, you know. :^) And those crashes are well known, so it certainly isn't me. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]
Barry, That specific kit, is only available from Commodore; however, commercial compiler packages include those files, along with lots of others. Don
Is the Native Developer's kit also available from dealers, or just direct from Commodore? (I hate waiting for packages thru the mail .)
Mark, In re the 900 number: If it's only $5/HOUR..that's quite reasonable…I wouldn't object to that at all. Don
Allen, Create a file called "hello.c" (NO quotes) that contains the following 6 lines exactly: #include main() { printf("Hello World"); } once you've saved it, type in the CLI, following exactly: lc -L hello let me know what happens. Don

Address for GVP
Message #3175
Andreas, You want to try that one again…King of Prussia and Paoli are two completely different towns…with completely different post offices. Don
Chris, AmigaWorld has announced that they will have the AmigaWorld Tech Journal, beginning in March. I know that they are hard at work getting it ready, and I think you'll find it quite technical. I've heard rumors of others, but I know that this one will appear. Betty
Daryl, I think you are confusing FFV with the 2320. The 2320 requires the video slot, but the FFV does not. Betty
Barry, These freely distributable compilers CANNOT include amiga.lib and the includes that you need. You need to send to Commodore for the Native Developer's Kit ($20) which includes those. These things are copyrighted by Commodore, and the authors of the compilers are not authorized to distribute them. Betty

Bill, I don't know what to tell you. Right now, I've got a 640×400 CLI up in the background (and thus in interlace) and in the foreground I'm running a terminal program in 640×200 (thus non-interlace). I just jumped back and forth between the screens a bunch of times…no problem.…

Ben, I wonder.. would you appreciate the harrasment if say your work was the target of criticism like your own? Perhaps if users were to rake you over the coals for bugs in the paint system for HAM-E, and perhaps the AVT software? Have you risen so high that you…

[ continuation ] marginal speed improvements and a bit more disk space. It also makes these floppies harder to read to those who do not have 2.0 or want to mess with mounting a FFS floppy under 1.3. Video Computer Resources has gone into Beta testing with our Point-of-Sale software.…

I did get a few answers and a few scratches on the head. I called CATS today. In case you folks were not aware, Kathy Godfrey is the contact person at Commodore for bugs in AmigaVision. John Campbell is her immediate supervisor, (in charge of the AmigaVision 2.0 project with…
Allen, I haven't seen that particular problem (although I have seen more than my share of problems with Lattice :-). It might help if you could post the command line that you are using to do the compile and link. …BobR White Wolf Productions

Guru Help
Message #3158
Michael, There are several programs in the libraries that will decipher those for you. Basically, the first digit tells you whether the problem is fatal or if you can recover (an 8 means fatal). Then, there is information as to which of the Amiga's libraries was involved in the crash,…

General
Message #3156
We reorganized our forums after AmigaWorld came out, too late for them to make changes in those libraries for that issue. The program is now in Library 11 of AMigaTech, and lots of people say it is just wonderful. I have not used it, since I have a flickerfixer in…

Helloooo….
Message #3155
Thanks, Bob. I knew about the DiskChange, and I've heard a bit about the RigidDiskBlock, but its purpose had passed me by. That makes lots of sense, and I had wondered what had changed that made the difference. The thing I keep wondering about is that I read a great…
Thanks Betty. Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without you all. Since I'm still having trouble D/LOADing it might prove useless. But I'm going to keep trying. Thanks again MARTIN

#Lattice link problem
Message #3152
I am having a bit of a problem with the Lattice compiler that I hope someone can help me with. When I compile a program (even a simple 'hello world' type thing) I get this error: Error 605: Cannot open with file '"HelloWorld.lnk' This is suring the link phase. I…

I miss that magazine, too. The contents were mainly for techies, but it was interesting to have a technical manual for Commodore computers at our finger tips. I had just begun to receive the new Amiga Transactor when it went. Anyhow, I hope that'll find another replacement soon. Are there…
Daryl: No. The 2320 needs the video slot just like the Microway Flickerfixer. As for running in a 1000 I don't know, Do the expansion boxes you mentioned have a video slot? -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
#2320 on A1000 ?
Message #3145
Well… the inevitable question, will this 2320 thingum, as I understand that it DOES NOT require the A2000 video-slot, run in a TOOLBOX or other expansion box on my A1000 (or an A500 for that matter ?) ??? -tnx – da
#PDC compiler
Message #3144
Does the Publicly Distributable C compiler (PDC) online here include ABSOLUTELY everything necessary to write, compile, and run C programs? (I'm asking this question because I currently have a C compiler which seems to include everything necessary except amiga.lib. Unfortunately, without this one file, the compiler is about 99% useless.)
