Message #27443
Because Amigatech is the technical forum for Amiga stuff. Casual users never set electronic foot in here. There are forums (like Amigauser) with 10x the traffic; why not put a high-demand item like a Fish disk there? I am not bitching (hey, I hit all the forums, so why do…

Well, I'm at a disadvantage here because I don't know how to go back and look at his message again, but it was my impression that he had said that the PRODUCT benefited from other code generators and compilers. This is certainly true. –Doug

John, remember that your information is a year out of date. We have a new version of GO that has had significant work no only by Jack but also by Mark Gass and others. CPR has its own development group with four developers in it, and much of the work…

We're delighted to have you here, Doug. We think CIS is a great place for Amiga people, and we hope you'll like it here. I'd suggest that you get a copy of WHAP! (WHP19H.LHA) from AmigaVendor, LIbrary 9. It will automate all this stuff for you, collecting mail, messages, etc.,…

Menu pulldown crash
Message #27437
I'm working on a game and using a menu for game save-load. When I pull it down I get occasional system freezes. I'm using ClipBlits for blits to the screen. Could it be a blitter problem? I also get blitting through the menu when it is pulled down. Any help…

Steve's statement which started this line of answering was that the Amiga stuff was drawn from other SAS Institute Code generators and compilers – that is definitely not true as you are quite aware. Yes, there has been a bit of Amiga specific development in order to get the product…

SAS Does not have a Forum here on Compuserve. You will need to call them directly to get the registration straigtened out.

Message #27433
The code generator did not come from other SAS efforts. The optimizer was done largely by Jack Rouse and then by someone else, but it took a bit of adaptation to bring it into the new compiler scheme. The debugger is yet another story which basically had to be done…

#27302-Calling ML from C
Message #27432
You definitely want to look up the information on __asm in the manual. Also, the sample source code for POPCLI gives an example of invoking an assembler routine from C with register parameter conventions. Once you get to the routine, the only requirement is that you preserve all registers except…
