#1677 C's Message #1770
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software December 14, 1985 8:49 PM
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…
#1614 C's Message #1634
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software December 13, 1985 7:02 AM
Address regs can't contain odd values? Can't you say lea 13,a0 move.b (a0),d0 13 is odd. I thought the low bit goes out the 68000 and controls the upper/lower data strobe line to the memory signifying that it wants only the least or most significant byte of a certain word,…

Setjmp/longjmp Message #1532
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software Developers December 12, 1985 10:51 AM
Here is the code for setjmp and longjmp that you had to rip out of your program. Do you have the macro assembler? If not I can assemble them and upload the .o files so they will be linkable. In the C program: have typedef int jmp_buf[13]; call with: setjmp(environ);…

68000 MAG Message #1438
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software Developers December 12, 1985 6:45 AM
Hello, I have seen all the messages about the (possible?) 68000 magazine. It sounds interesting to me too. A small bastion of 68000 users amid a sea of PC Clones. Over on Computer Language SIG (CL) a guy, Roland Besserer I think, has been or was trying to start a…

#1336 Amazing Computing Message #1437
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software December 12, 1985 6:15 AM
Sounds like an more interesting magazine then. I got a message from Don Hicks too, so I'll probably subscribe to it. I am slowly collecting stuff to port to the amiga too, its difficult since I don't have a USENET node available anywhere close, I'm not going to touch the…

#1183 MIDI, Comal, AMICUS Message #1286
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software December 11, 1985 7:12 AM
I am porting the Icon programming language to the Amiga, it is public domain. I like the idea of putting it on disk since it would be much to large to put on a system for downloading, it could take days to download it. A previous message of yours said…

#1001- #C's Message #1284
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software December 11, 1985 6:56 AM
I was having a problem porting a piece of C code to the Amiga because Lattice C insists on changing the value of a pointer when cast. I had pointer to char and cast it and if the pointer did not happen to be an even address, the cast changed…

From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software Developers December 11, 1985 6:36 AM
Is your magazine going to be a little more in-depth/technically oriented as compared to AmigaWorld. I buy copies of AmigaWorld (I don't subscribe) but really find it to be filled with pretty useless and filled with a lot of "consumer-type" drivel. Witness this months two page article on Lisp and…

AMICUS disks Message #1141
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software Developers December 9, 1985 8:07 PM
I might be interested in trying to port some source. What have you got? I am working right now on porting the Icon computer language to the Amiga, (its in C and 68000 assembler) and I have had a lot (more than enough, please) experience with the differences between the…

Quicksort for amiga Message #1139
From: GARY SARFF Forum unknown · Software Developers December 9, 1985 7:44 PM
In case anybody is interested I have uploaded a quick sort procedure for the amiga. It is written in assembler, you need the Macro assembler to assemble it. Can we upload object files? I did not want to try without knowing, if it is possible though, I can do that…

#42338 #C for the Amiga Message #42489
From: GARY SARFF Music/Graphics · Amiga Connection November 24, 1985 9:43 AM
Hi, just barging in. I have Lattice C 3.02 and have been porting a large (500K+) C program to the Amiga. Lattice C 3.02 has some bugs, quirks that I have found, I left a message about it over on CBM-2000. Basically, if you have some variable say x declared…
