Message #13803
I got the tape today, thanks. Now as soon as I unVAXenate it, (I know that was bad, don't fall out of your chair and hurt yourself) I will see what there is to see. Strange file format, but at least I can now read the tape. I wrote a…

I suppose you could sync the writes that way, I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if you would get any anomalous sounds (or absence of sound) when one stopped and the next began, like a popping or moment of silence. In the openpod and hal sound files there is…

I might as well reply anyway, I will upload the source and binary today then, I will see if there is any savings to using amigarc. You do have it I presume? If there is not that big a compression I won't bother, the source is only about 3500 bytes…
I will see about that today, (the uploading.) If I do it here it will be some days though before it becomes visible, how is the time delay over on PCS-155? * Reply: 13019 * RR 13015 +

Digital sound
Message #13005
I have gotten some of the sound files uploaded to my bbs by a person I know, and have found that you can concatenate the sound files by simply using the amiga join command. The most useful two to join are openpod.snd and hal.snd. just do join openpod.snd hal.snd as…
I presume that like wack though, metascope needs the binary image to be totally in memory? The Icon core image is at least 256K, (it is 261K on my wicat and SUN, so with Lattice C who knows) and I know the smallest workspace Icon grabs for itself on startup…

MUSIC
Message #12247
Hello, I have thought about Aztec but the docs I have said it uses register A5 as the frame pointer instead of A6 like lattice and most other 68000 compilers I have used. Icon's assembler portions presume that A6 is being used because Icon uses A3-A5 for its own frame…

#MUSIC
Message #12121
I thought a music program might actually be available or close anyway. (Foolish me… ) Icon is coming along except for its one rather serious flaw which I still cannot ferret out. This has never happened to me before, a bug that has resisted all my efforts for months to…

DL9 envvar.lbr
Message #11806
Hi, I have just gotten back on CIS after a rather long enforced absence and saw your message. I wrote those programs and a friend uploaded them for me. They give amigados UNIX-like environment variables accessible from CLI and user written C programs. If you are at all familiar with…
#Grinding
Message #6961
Just popping in to say hi, have you been doing any "grinding" on smalltalk? I'm still grinding away on Icon, at the moment it has taken a giant step backwards and doesn't want to run much at all. Have you ever had one of those lives where…. I've been taking…

#Lattice C Bug?
Message #6944
I think I'll wait for Aztec C, hopefully it will be a bit better at getting things right. It is supposed to generate better code than Lattice too. I know from a piece of one of my routines, the code was supposed to assign one structure to another, it so…

MacWorks for the Amiga
Message #5036
When it is cleaned up. Right now there is one (I hope only one) last bug that is driving me quite mad. I can't track it down and trying to find it in 200K of machine code without a symbolic debugger is really a mess, but I feel I am…

Source will probably be available "on request", source now is hovering at around 750K of code, really too much to upload. Even the executable is going to be about 200K+, I have been talking with john foust about turning it over to Amicus and letting them distribute it on their…

On my system at work we can also use up/down arrows to scroll through previous commands and the left right arrows to edit the line, the cursor can be anywhere on the line when you push return to invoke the line. Also something really nice is that you can type…

#AMY-VMCO
Message #4795
Just a question, does VMCO have any provision for the sex of the individual? I'm asking because it occured that since the amiga has all those controllable parameters for the voice: the sex, base frequency, speaking rate, sampling frequency, etc, that along with allowing someone to make their own face,…

CthiJust what I was thinking the other day: "The amiga could make a great Smalltalk system if it could somehow be gotten onto the amiga intact." I wonder at the speed though, I am porting Icon to the Amiga and it is no great speeddemon, although a lot of that…

#Icon/snobol/stuff
Message #4518
Icon is almost done, the interpreter runs most Icon programs, just a few that don't seem to run for any reason I can determine. I've just downloaded the debugger from dl9 though, maybe it can tell me something, I've already been reduced to putting calls to printf and other routines…

setjmp.asm
Message #4416
The code for setjmp.asm does save the context in the buffer that you provide, you must provide the ADDRESS of the buffer. The code is: _setjmp: movea.l (sp)+,a1 get return address from top of stack and save it in a1 and increment stack pointer 4 bytes movea.l (sp),a0 get address…

HELP, ME.C

I have me.c and live in Southern Illinois. I don't have kermit though, just XMODEM with Checksum only. My bbs is up from 4:30pm to 8:00am M-F and 24Hrs on weekends. It will be up 24Hrs from December 20-Jan 2 for Christmas holiday. The number is 618-378-2133 300/1200 baud, hit…

Message #2104
It works!! I got it to work on the amiga about 1:30 this afternoon. if you use %.*s that is. The only problem with this function will be in the %f format, the last digit may not round properlysince Lattice C lacks the fcvt() function and I had to use…

Oh well, guess we have no reprieve from CIS. At least we don't have to upload files in EBCDIC. * Reply: 2106

Yes Icon is the computer language developed by Drs. Griswold. It will be a full implementation with everything the unix version has except pipes and the m4 preprocessor which I have never used anyway. The source I am working from is Icon version 5.9 for the Sun workstation so it…

I have uploaded some more library routines, bsearch.asm that implements the Unix System V bsearch() call that does binary searches on sorted tables, (companion to qsort()) and trees.doc and trees.o that implement the tsearch(), tdelete(), and twalk() Unix calls that manange and traverse binary trees in C programs.

The problem was CthaThe problem was that I was trying to access code generated by the Icon interpreter and 32 bit addresses may not have been aligned on word boundaries since Icon uses a lot of 1 byte opcodes. So there was C code to take care of that problem…

The reason I was actually trying to do what I did was because it was an interpreter that was storing generated code in an array in memory. sometimes opcodes are one byte and can be followed by a 32 bit address therefore the address (treated as int) may or may…
