Like Kevin said, yes they do. In ED, while on a line press ESC and type BS. Then go to the end of the block you want to affect and do ESC and type BE. (BS = Block Start, BE = Block End) Then go where you want to put…

If so, what you you get with BINARY files? Garbage? A binary file is either object code or some sort of data (.info) ect. So EDITing them in that fastion would be pointless. SpLiTiNfInItY

Yup ED is the screen editor, and most people prefer that type, especial Commodore people if you know what I mean. SpLiTiNfInItY (Dave)

Because that's my handle (for the past 8 years). You can't use your handle in the SIGs info files (you know, where it says Fm: David Whatley), but there is nothing wrong with using it as a signiture, especialy when people are use to calling you that. (Happens when you…
Nope, dont have his PPN, sorry. The Amiga C (Lattic) is fairly standard. There are some extensions of course, but the program should transfer fine. BUT, the Amiga serial I/O is the hardest part to understand at the moment, and buggy. Right now most are waiting for V1.1, which will…
Hay, the compilers work fine. Sometimes they give me bugs I can't explain, and I curse the system, but later I find it was actualy a bug in the source code: my own fault. V1.1 of intution is almost here, and it is going to be *SHARP! A 1500 page…
Im not sure about EDIT, I only use ED, which is great for everything I do. Im not sure where the docs for EDIT can be found, but Im not anxious to get them either. Yet, if I do, Ill pass them along to you. SpLiTiNfInItY
Where might you get a ML monitor? Thats more like, where might you be able to get ANYTHING! For now, be glad for what you do have, because anything else will be rare at best. Im not sure which you want details on, ED or EDIT. I use ED myself,…
Any language that is compiled gives you the ability to make the program air tight. Inturpreted languages sometimes make this an option, but it's fudged at best. Because they are compiled the resulting code is in machine language, which goes for PASCAL, C, and Assembler (plus a lot more). SpLiTiNfInItY…
I have an Assembler, but have not looked a it. I assume there is a disassembler and monitor program in there. ROMWack might be of help there too. Of course, the editor is already present (ED, and EDIT) which are used to write C, PASCAL and ASSEMBLY pretty much like…
Well C also gives you TOTAL control and an "air-tight" program. But if you have some PASCAL experience, then C will not be a problem, they are almost identical in "nature", but differe in power and "readability". SpLiTiNfInItY Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
I only ment that you had to be careful with spaces. Your right, quotes solve the problem, I should have mentioned that. SpLiTiNfInItY Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
There is an Front and Icon editor that is supposed to be in the developers tool kit. Many do not have it yet, but you an get it if you are persistant and know the right people. Personaly, Im gona hack the .info files, I know enough about Intuiimages to…
I dont think the SuperBitMap is realy larger than the screen (in ABasic) its just that the routines clip at the edges and dont give you illegal quantity errors for exceading the limits. That I realy love. Of course if you use C, you will have pretty much total control…
Whats the problem Benji? The examples in the manuals on IntuiText structures are not THAT cryptic. One thing though, C allows you to make a pointer on the fly such as: Message.text = "This is text"; Will create that pointer to "This is text" with a null ending automaticly. That…
You know, you can use the CLI ED to edit your ABasic programs, but make sure you dont have spaces in the file name, cuz you know how CLI treats spaces! There is a font editor out there, as stated in the manuals. Butyt the copy idea is almost straight…
Wait a minuet! You want me to set the version number to 1_ (1 with an underscore)? The REV_NUMBER is a INT number isn't it? I don't see how that would work. How would the underscore be represented in an integer variable? SpLiTiNfInItY *** There is a reply: 41981 Enter…
Correct, that bug in the MODE partof GSHAPE realy turned me off. Im use to the command in other basics, and realy wanted to use it. But one real good thing is the ability to draw off the screen (use negative and very large xs, and ys). I did a…
