OK thank you Steve. It sounds like what I want. Henry;
Okie dokie! Thanks again Robert. Henry;
Hi Robert. I'm aware that I didn't really need the c = 0. It was just done in frustration in not working out the bug . I don't understand why I need to link in the -lc32 library though. Would it have to do with portability? There is one problem…
Hi Robert. I'll give the int declaration a try. Thanks for the suggestion. { Henry };
Hi Don. I'll check on that hidden control character possibility. I put #ifdef debug statements in the program and what happened was that the first time through the while loop c was == to the chosen option by the getchar(). But the second time through it printed nothing. Don't know…
Hello Greg. Thanks for the help. Yes, that is right. I had other printf's in the other cases but when I got to the default choice the linker came back with the message… undefined symbol: _printf. I put it in /* */ and the program linked normally. I copied the…

Hi Amiga folk! I have 2 puzzles on my mind right now and would appreciate any help. 1) I can compile this without errors on my Aztec 3.6a but when I link I get this message: Undefined symbol _printf it is in reference to the default: choice of the switch…

C problem
Message #7267
Hello Tom, thank you for the info. I have tried the BRO command without any luck so far so this will help. Henry
Hi Mike. I hope I'm not becoming a pain. It's just that I'm teaching myself C and although I think I'm coming along ok I'm probably asking some rather boring questions to real programmers. If this runaway recursion is causing my address errors, how can I get away from it?…
#GURU.error
Message #817
To Mike, Don, or anyone else who can find the mystery of the GURU 00000003. address error I keep getting in my program. Here's an abridged version of my program. All parts left out have nothing to do with the array a. static int a[31][62] = { /* global array…
Hello John, Thanks for the info. I think I'll just stick with our DOS for now. Regards Henry
Thanks Don, this CIS user finds your sysop position well filled. Henry
Hello Don, I'm aware that the array starts at 0 and have checked to make sure it works right by putting the array through a double loop that printed the array in the right pattern. I'm not quite sure what you mean by re-zero'ed. What happens though is that I…
Hi Mike, Thanks thats just what I needed. I tried the other example and it didn't quite make it. Henry
#UNIX info
Message #460
Hello all you programmers out there. I am considering buying the UNIX system when it becomes available here. I would really appreciate some info from anyone who has used the amiga UNIX system or just knows all about it. 1) If I program in this UNIX system, can the program…
Hi Peter, Thanks for the help. I'll try this and see if you were awake 🙂 Regards, Henry
#GURU errors
Message #373
Hello, Was hoping someone could give me an idea what's going wrong with my program. What I have done is initialize an array a[30][60] containing a maze. Using the switch command with 8 compass points (n,se, etc.), I print out a 14 x 7 maze of array `a' depending on…
#Manx help
Message #364
Hello Mike, I have another question for you about using this wonderful (and confusing to me), Manx 3.6a compiler. I want to use the random generator but don't seem to be able to get it to work. I see the Synopsis shows: double ran() .It also says that the value…
C help
Message #118772
Hello John, The example on the switch command you helped me with a ways back works as I hoped it would. Due to this, I was able to continue with my program and get myself into another confusing situation. I hope you won't mind my asking your advice again. What…

C problem
Message #113147
Hi Tom. Please don't say anything about 4 years as I've done only about one so far in C. All I know is from a couple of good books I've read and of course the occasional hand I get from you all out there. I've taken a beginners course in…

C problem
Message #111780
Hello Thomas. Thanks for answering. I want more than just the clr_screen function offered there but have found the answer. I'm getting a feeling teaching myself C is a little more difficult than I had originally expected. Regards Henry

C problem
Message #111779
Hello Mike. I have it working now. Realized my mistake was placing it before the variables to be initialized. Now I seem to be having trouble with the scanf when reading characters. I won't be troubling you with that though. Thanks! Henry
