#21726- ACAD/AEC Message #21767
From: Cliff Gauntlett [ADESK] Autodesk · Programming April 11, 1988 11:04 PM
Craig, in all fairness to the dealer who did the demo at the seminar there was various levels of prospective users who were participating in each session, and therefore, each vendor session moved as slowly as the slowest individual. I also attended that session and am very familiar with AEC…

Craig — Well, for heaven's sake. Of course we're working on it. As to specifics: Layer naming choices – we would all like to see some improvement in this area, but no one seems to have an idea that we can all agree upon. We would like very much to…
#21370 Registration Message #21373
From: Craig Sharp [Mem TM] Autodesk · Programming March 30, 1988 8:21 PM
Katinka, You know, if you guys used computers, you could probably cut down the reqistration to 2-3 weeks. They're a great new invention! . How about registration over the fourm? Is there a way to guarantee the authorship, like with a dealer (forum member) confirmation and a pass word? You…

_OpenDevice() Message #116303
From: Gregory A. Kendall Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 9:09 AM
Ok… I tried using OpenDevice() to open the serial port without the SERF_SHARED flag and now I am getting an error condition saying that the device is busy. I want to open the device exclusively and this error is comming up when there are no other tasks present and immediately…
#116271 Amiga basic Message #116289
From: Richard Rae/SYSOP Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 6:59 AM
What I do or don't do is not the issue here. But, yes, in my lifetime I've retailed two software items: a utility disk and an EPROM programmer with a software driver (both for another machine). BOTH packages came with complete assembly source. And as I've already mentioned, I'm a…

#116155- Preferences Printer Message #116282
From: Khalid Aldoseri Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 5:45 AM
Doug, I'm ahead of you on that! I've got a copy of Preferences in my C: directory called Prefs. This is the one I run if I am in CLI. But it still takes about three seconds to load (from hard disk) and just to change the margins for example…
#116219- Preferences Printer Message #116281
From: Khalid Aldoseri Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 5:34 AM
Vic, I've got it to load and save standard Preferences files, (i.e. devs:system-configuration) by just reading and writing the file from/to a Prefrences structure. Very easy! Also makes it possible to use the files directly through a program like setprefs. I am using ARP, so command parsing is absolutely no…
#116188- AmigaBASIC Message #116278
From: GreG Tsadilas/SYSOP Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 4:33 AM
Al, "INSIDE AMIGA Graphics" by Sheldon Leemon shows you how to access routines via the Library calls from AmigaBasic. It is not complete, but shows you enough to keep you occupied for a while. It also has what you are looking for.
#116221- Amiga basic Message #116275
From: GreG Tsadilas/SYSOP Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 4:33 AM
Vic, sure! Why not!? Actually, I'd like to put this thread to rest…or at least back away from it. I'm not conceeding defeat mind you, just slowly backing away! 🙂
#116143- Amiga basic Message #116273
From: GreG Tsadilas/SYSOP Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 4:32 AM
Mike, when you buy software you do not get the source to it. In the instance of the protected AmigaBasic files, they do NOT give you the source but rather an encrypted form of the source. That should not give you the right to de-encrypt it, and/or possibly use it.…
#116109- #Amiga basic Message #116271
From: GreG Tsadilas/SYSOP Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 4:32 AM
Do you give out your source code to everyone who buys a product from you? Anyways, we agree to disagree on the issue, or non-issue as it were.
#116121- Amiga basic Message #116270
From: GreG Tsadilas/SYSOP Autodesk · Programming March 29, 1988 4:32 AM
Sector editors and TYPE OPT H hardly qualify to give you the type of access we are discussing here. Anyways….we agree to disagree on the subject. I see no point in belaboring the issue. : 116272 S10/Programming 29-Mar-88 04:32:34 Robby, I'm happy that you were able to retrieve your code.…
