#HELP WITH SOFTWARE
Message #3143
Martin, Library 5 of AmigaUser has a program called ARCHLP.EXE that is a tutorial on how to unpack files using all of the forms used in these libraries. You might want to get it, along with LHARC.EXE, ARC.EXE, and ZOO.EXE. It will teach you to use them. Betty

Exp'd C Pro for hire

I know ASDG is looking for someone – and they're in Madison, just up the road from Chicago. Depends on what you plan to make, per year. 🙂

Devkit?
Message #1601
Mike, I've also been using the CygCC programs from AC, which worked great until I got the 5.10 upgrade from Lattice. After that, the ReadErrors() module no longer works properly. The error lines no longer get output to the Compiler_Window view, although it does seem to catch the errors. Just…
Library Access
Message #1600
I just read my latest copy of Amiga World and noticed some potentially interesting stuff in AmigaTech libraries 13 & 14, however I can not access those libraries. What gives?
Lattice/SAS C++ ??
Message #1599
I'm looking for some info on the Lattice C++ package. Is it any good? Is it stable? Is it still supported? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Sylvain, Portage, Manitoba

Maps
Message #1598
Ash, best way is probably to download the maps in GIF format and then use a GIF viewer to see them. I've tried it and it works. Khalid.

MERGE.LZH/binary 07-Oct-90 6633 Keywords: MERGE LINK EXECUTABLE DATA Merge will link an executable with ANY raw data file, with an option for it to be loaded at runtime into CHIP memory. The data can then be referenced in the program. Similar to but more flexible than Benchmark Modula-2's AddImage facility.…

SAS C from Workbench
Message #1592
Mike, one of the things I really liked about CEDPro when I changed to it was the ability to define its keys… I just cutomized it and made it feel like the editor I was using before it… well, function-key-wise, that is. (grin) Khalid.
LoadSeg() CreateProc()
Message #1591
Hi. I'm hoping somebody here can help me. I'm trying to do a LoadSeg() follwed by a CreateProc(). Basically, it doesn't work. I keep on Guruing. If I fake out a LoadSeg (re: Leo Schwabs program) it works file till my process exits, then I get a software failure. I…

Execute Requestor
Message #1587
Keith … I've played a lot with ISTEL and know of its frustrations. I also live in England (Welwyn Garden City) and should be able to help, although probably best directly as CServe costs quite a lot 🙂 However, I'm currently visiting with Betty Clay (SYSOP of this parish) and…
We went through a forum reorganization to expand our Amiga support. You can get MOVSSP.LZH, ANTIFL.LZH, MSDOS1.LZH and POPUPM.LZH from library 11 of AmigaTech. Steve
MOVSSP.LZH, ANTIFL.LZH, and MSDOS1.LZH are all available in library 11 of AmigaTech. A lot of people around here use the program WHAP! to call CompuServe. It's a program that can automatically log in, get only the messages and files that you want, and then log off. It can also upload…
#No access?
Message #1584
There are a few files in Libraries 13 & 14 that I would like to download, which I say in AmigaWorld Magazine. But it says that I am not authorized for those libraries? Why am I not allowd to download these files?
AmigaVision
Message #1583
I bought AmigaVision. This is incredible!!! Especially Screen is like NeXT.
My wife DID order the A3000 and BB through the educational package offer and CBM shipped us both of them. CBM also claims in its ads for the system that it will work with BB's! I have owned everything from a Pet to a C64 to a 128 to an…

Hi, What would be the best NOCLICK program to use with a 3000 under KS/WB 1.3???? Thanks! Pat. **** Pat ****
Beats me. I had thought that digital RGB was not available. —Mike
Once I put the "path lc: add" in my startup-sequence BEFORE loadwb, the LSE icon started working correctly (previously I was doing the path in my shell-startup, but I can't remember why I put it there). I started using the icon environment on a real project tonight, and it's working…
Mike, But the A1000 has the same pinouts. I checked in the original hardware manual (the original developer documentation from 1985). Don
When you use -rr to compile with registerized parameters, you MUST have a function prototype for every function you call. That means including the proto/whatever.h files (or proto/all.h if you're lazy). And, you must define prototypes for all of your functions. Set the option that requires function prototypes and you'll…
I think the getcwd problem in 5.04 was a bad pragma. I never checked, but now that I understand how the pragmas work, I can easily see how a bad pragma could cause the problem Alan
Steve, Right…I ran an HD that way for quite a while (running a cable and power feeds out the back). I also had the drive unmounted in any case, so yes…it does work just fine. Don
1080/1084D Manufacturor
Message #1571
To ALL: Can anyone confirm the manufacturor of the CBM 1080/1084D monitors. I know the 1084/1084S is made by Magnavox and I have heard the 1080/1084D's were made by either Hitachi or Tohsiba (spelling?). Anyone have any definite knowledge on this?

HD Recovery help.

The "ReFormat" was a stupid blunder. I weformatted a tiny portion of the drive. DiskSlav managed to recover the majority of its files.

HD Recovery help.
Message #1569
I noticed you said you were using Trump card. May I ask if it is the 2000 version? I have been "attempting" to use one with my XYXIS stuff and no go at all. GURUs and random r/w write errors to beat the band. I guess I have a bad…

#Library Access
Message #1567
Steve, I'm looking for the utilities mentioned in the lates AmigaWorld: MOVSSP.LZH, ANTIFL.LZH, MSDOS1.LZH, . These were supposed to be in LIB 13 and 14. Also, when I scroll through the forum messages and save them to a buffer is there anyway to automatically skip over a particular Subject #…
Certain libraries here are reserved for future use. Some of the libraries and files that were here in AmigaTech and in AmigaArts were moved around when AmigaUser was created a last month. Was there anything in particular you were looking for? Steve

#SAS/C 5.10 Compiler Guru
Message #1560
Alan, one problem that I'm having with Lattice 5.1 that is probably just my stupidity is this: I'm trying to compile with registerized args. I use -rr in the lc command but I get undefined stub functions. When I do it in two steps, linking with lcr.lib amiga.lib I still…

Message #1558
Tim, this is primarily your dealers fault. He should have known. That's what a dealer is for. Someone posted (I think on usenet) that he had ordered the A3000 and BB via the educational discount plan and that Commodore REJECTED his order for the BB because the two didn't work…

Alan, I've spoken with SAS recently and they're in the process of setting up a support system that will will be both timely and beneficial for their users (of which I'm one). Hopefully this situation will be corrected shortly. -sja

HELP!

Hi Knox! ANTIFL.LZH is a compressed file. You'll have to uncompress it using LHARC.EXE which is available in library 5 of AmigaUser. If you haven't used archiving/conpression utilities on the Amiga before, you might want to download ARCHLP.EXE, which is a tutorial on how to use them. If you need…

#SAS C Disappointing!
Message #1546
Bill, What I've found so far is that you MUST execute the path DHx:lc/c add in the startup-sequence. Then I have a little iconx script which does the assigns, cd's to lc/c and calls lse. Then I select Open New File and at the prompt, key in shft-left alt-r to…

keyboard probs.

Let me add to what Davey said; if you have an old 2000 built for use with the Cherry keyboard but you have a newer keyboard, those two capacitors must be clipped. I have my original Cherry keyboard and it works fine. Ron
