#12967- C COMPILERS Message #13169
From: Charlie Heath The Amiga Forum · Tool Box March 30, 1986 3:50 PM
It has a built in assembler; but it apparently doen't work with Metacomco assembly files, such as the assembly code printer drivers and libraries available.

From: Charlie Heath Forum unknown · Programming March 28, 1986 9:23 PM
That's such a strange thing: most of the assembler I write is to save code size and get something to run fast. And to customize my startup file. The Aztec compiler generates better code, so I'd want to use it; but since it doen't have the assembly hooks, I can't.…

#12502 #_LVOCloseWindow Message #12516
From: Charlie Heath Forum unknown · Programming March 23, 1986 2:55 PM
Have you used the windowptr for other things? IE, is it just a closewindow problem, or might the windowptr be invalid? Did you leave a menustrip attached to the window before closing? Gotta ClearMenuStrip before CloseWindowing. Also, have you verified the offset is correct? Some of the assembly offsets are…

#12483- MSB & TEXTCRAFT Message #12515
From: Charlie Heath Forum unknown · Programming March 23, 1986 2:50 PM
I doubt that TextCraft is actually loosing the memory, proably it has opened a couple of device drivers, most likely the printer driver. The driver will stay in memory until something else makes a request for more mem than is available; then the driver will be unloaded. One way to…

#12505 GRONK Test Message #12514
From: Charlie Heath Forum unknown · Programming March 23, 1986 2:42 PM
I'd agree that the low level Exec functions are pretty well thought out, and proably the Exec is robust enough to avoid most problems of timing. I'm not so sure about Intuition, which locks windows in some time critical situations, or about AmigaDOS. But, if you are taking over the…

#11496- #GARBLED MSG Message #11642
From: Charlie Heath The Amiga Forum · Tool Box March 16, 1986 12:02 AM
A long time ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away… Yes, I worked for Parker for about six months back in '82. That was about the time they released Frogger and The Empire Strikes Back (or whatever it was called, cenility is setting in…)

From: Charlie Heath The Amiga Forum · Tool Box March 13, 1986 10:31 PM
I second that vote for Vidgame Revival! Skelly is a one man show, but didn't do Reactors music. I think it was Dave Thiel, who is now working on an Amiga music program for Hayden. We did the best we could with that music on the VCS version at Parker…
#11214 video memory Message #11240
From: Charlie Heath The Amiga Forum · Tool Box March 11, 1986 11:48 PM
Under most conditons, you'll use less memory in workbench than you would opening another custom screen. Also, you're proably less likely to confuse people by staying in the WBench. The SMART_REFRESH windows don't require extra memory until it is needed, ie when a part of the window is covered. There…

You can used the Trackdisk device for that. I haven't tried, but I think there's an example in the ***New*** RKM.
#11126 hires windows Message #11161
From: Charlie Heath The Amiga Forum · Tool Box March 10, 1986 11:04 PM
NewScreen.ViewModes = HIRES | LACE The window stuff has NO differences from a regular (640*200) window, unless you want to change the height. The graphics routines work automajikly, I'm amazed! For an example that uses 640 * 400, you might look at the text editor I downloaded yesterday, TXED.EXE, in…

#11015- Lattice vs. Aztec Message #11156
From: Charlie Heath The Amiga Forum · Tool Box March 10, 1986 10:48 PM
I have a couple questions about Aztec: 1) Do you get the source for the startup file? Somebody said you don't. How does one create an executable file w/Aztec; do you specify an object file as the startup, or is it automazicly inserted? 2) What are the known bugs?
Compiling C Programs Message #11144

Is that Scott as in sdb Ballantyne? Hi, thought I'd check out the 'other' service. Kinda nice over here!
#11014- Windows Message #11143
From: Charlie Heath The Amiga Forum · Tool Box March 10, 1986 10:14 PM
Thanks for the suggestions. I'd have proably used CTRL keys instead of Amiga keys, except the Amiga keys are freebies under Intuition. Maybe I'll toss the 'free' count, and put 'columns' in…
Amiga Unix? Message #6656
From: Charlie Heath Forum unknown · SoftwareDevelopment January 29, 1986 9:58 PM
I think LStartup = Lattice Startup, AStartup = Amiga Startup, historically. Normally you're less prone to errors when using LStartup, because it opens a console window etc. The source for AStartup is available on V3.03 from Amiga; I'm not sure what you'll get from Lattice.
