Message #35209
Ya I'll check it out. I just now got the code. I'll do it this weekend before my Amiga goes in monday for it's 68010-transplant operation on Monday. Assemblers 1. MCC 2. Aztec 3. Quelo 4. K Seka 3. supports structured assembly code (i.e. IF THEN ELSE, WHILE, UNTIL) and…

#ExNext
Message #35208
I uploaded an example of how to use ExNext to DL7 called exnext.arc. While writing it I found that if I changed the contents of the FIB that ExNext would faulter. I never crashed my system but did get infinite loops when trying to examine floppy disk directories. Any directory…

Mike, by Reply() I think you mean ReplyMsg(). The only thing I could think could be causing a problem is that you are calling ReplyMsg() to soon. If you are accessing any of the fields of the message after you reply the system will crash. By calling ReplyMsg() your telling…

I'm not sure this will help but the address of FileInfo must be longWord alligned. This is probably because it is turned into a BPTR somewhere internal to the Examine code. You can allign it yourself using 'CNOP 0,4' or you can allocate the block with AllocMem. Just make sure…

Hate to intrude since I'm not sure what you guys are talking about but according to my M68000 manual the only form of moveq is LONG. There is no moveq.w instruction.

I hope this is not asking to much but I was wondering if you could leave an example of how to use dual playfield mode with Intuition in DL7. If that is too much are there any hints you could give as to how to do it? Hope you can…

I left you a message. It's number is 34573. I didn't put your number on that one so I was afraid you would not get it. I hope you get this message ok. Darrel

Astartup.obj
Message #34577
Was the Astartup.obj file left off of the include files for the beta release of WB 1.2 or does it no longer exist? Is the code in the Amiga ROM Libraries manual pg. 489 still uptodate? Darrel

loader
Message #34576
Has anybody an idea of what the loader does with the programs it loads? Is their any documentation for the loader? Is the overlay supervisor part of the loader? Can a single hunk be scatter loaded into memory? I have seen programs that make use of the data located just…

CLI
Message #34575
Does anyone know what the CLI Dos functions (i.e. copy,rename, delete,dir,…) know that we don't? They seem to expect things passed to them that are undocumented. I know that A0,D0 pass the command line and length but they make use of other registers as if they had meaningful information in…

CloseWindow
Message #34573
Joe I have written a few assembly language programs and have had no problem with CloseWindow. I use Metacompcos assembler and Metascope also. (Isn't metascope great!?). In DL6 you'll find an archived file called WCLOCK.ARC that I wrote and it uses CloseWindow ok. The code in that file may be…

Chessmaster-2000
Message #33950
Metascope is a debugger that allows you to see the assembly source code of any program that you can call from a CLI. The user interface to most debuggers I have worked with before are very much command line oriented and this can make them rather hard to learn and…

#BPTR
Message #33318
Does anybody know what the reasoning is for BPTR's? I know that they exist because the DOS was written in the language BCPL but I don't see why you would want pointers to be constantly in need of shifting in order to see what they actually point at. I guess…

Multitasking
Message #32589
I was wondering if anyone following this multitasking thread knows how much overhead is involved in the Exec task switching. By this I mean how much time does it take for the system to put a task to sleep and wake another up? I know that at least all the…

#Online! retries
Message #11670
Has any user of Online! had success with Online! retrying the number if it was busy? My system just sets there and leaves the dialing to me.
#string gadgets
Message #11668
Has anyone figured out how to activate a string gadget for input besides from having the user select it with the mouse? I know the programmer can set a window to come up active and I wish you could with a string gadget. Also has anyone used a string gadget…
