I really can't test the compiler before buying it, in my current situation. The problem is, I don't have access to the file 'amiga.lib', which all compilers apparently need. Do you know for sure if this file is included with DICE (the $40 version, not the online one)?
Could you send me Matt Dillon's address and/or phone number? I've decided to believe the hype, but I need to contact him in order to order. Thanks, Barry Hart
Could you give me Matt Dillon's address, or is it somewhere online here?
Is the Native Developer's kit also available from dealers, or just direct from Commodore? (I hate waiting for packages thru the mail .)
#PDC compiler
Message #3144
Does the Publicly Distributable C compiler (PDC) online here include ABSOLUTELY everything necessary to write, compile, and run C programs? (I'm asking this question because I currently have a C compiler which seems to include everything necessary except amiga.lib. Unfortunately, without this one file, the compiler is about 99% useless.)
#Space War
Message #533
Has anyone ever written a Space War game for the Amiga (that old game with gravity and stuff, sort of like head-to-head Asteroids)? If so, where can I get a copy?
Who sells the AmigaDOS Native Developer's Update? Is it available only directly from Commodore, or do dealers have it? Does this also apply to the Bothstartup.obj file required?
#zc compiler
Message #105753
I bought the zcc compiler from a public domain disk place, but they didn't anything but zc, zcc, blink, and A68k. I downloaded the files which contain the header files and I also got ZCFIX.ZOO, which contains ZC.LIB. The documentation says I need Amiga.lib and BothStartup.obj to run the compiler.…
On the Insider II, I haven't seen any place that sells them yet. Could you give me the names & numbers of some mail order companies that stock the board? Thanks.
About the Insider II board: Does it plug in, or is there soldering and other gory electrical stuff to do? Also, is this zero wait state RAM, and what type of RAM chips does it use (memory size & speed)?
#1000 memory expansion
Message #103655
I own a 512K 1000, and I'm thinking of upgrading the memory (to 1 MEG, probably). How do most of the expansion kits install? Are they internal, or do they plug into the side? Also, what price can I expect to pay, and what company seems to make the best?
printing
Message #71926
I've had my Amiga for a while, but I'm new to printing. What does the Amiga do with printer commands if you try to send them directly to the printer? I've tried with both Amiga BASIC and Wordwright to send commands such as ESC-E to change settings on the printer,…
Thanks for the advice. My problem was that I'm using the CLI. I DL'ed ARP, so now I'm using its shell instead, w/no problem.
#resident command
Message #68127
Can someone give me a short example of how to use the resident command (1.3) to make cli commands resident? So far, I can get the commands so they list when I type "resident" with no arguments, but the system still requests that I insert the WB disk when I…
