#26302 #To PD, or not PD? Message #26307
From: Denis Hennessy Forum unknown · Help/Announcements July 11, 1986 1:22 PM
That's ridiculous. If I write a program which I wish to place in the public domain, and if (having paid a subscription to Compuserve) I make it available to other users of Compuserve, it remains in the public domain. It does not become the property of Compuserve, it does not…

#26184 #Hi Speed Serial I/O Message #26197
From: Denis Hennessy Forum unknown · Programming July 10, 1986 12:11 PM
Assuming you've opened the port with something like error = OpenDevice(SERIALNAME,0,&IOSer,0); and IOSer is a struct IOExtSer, you can find the fields of this structure in the file. You read the status of the port with: (Whoops, I've just seen a field with the same name as the structure, change…

#26068- Hi Speed Serial I/O Message #26081
From: Denis Hennessy Forum unknown · Programming July 9, 1986 1:05 PM
Have you tried increasing the size of the serial driver's receive buffer ? I don't have my RKM here and I can't remember the call offhand but if you still have problems I can look it up. Also your loop is a one-character-per-iteration loop. If you know you are going…

#26006- C Help Message #26080
From: Denis Hennessy Forum unknown · Programming July 9, 1986 1:00 PM
You probably used printf() to display text in the CLI version. To display text in a custom window, you should use TextOut() instead. This won't do formatting (%d, %s etc.) but you could use sprintf() first if you like. Hope this helps —- Denis

#11956 National Boycott Message #11991
From: Denis Hennessy The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work March 19, 1986 11:31 AM
I could'nt agree with you more. I bought DPaint last week (In New York, I live in Ireland – to return the package I have to travel 3000 miles!!) When I tried it in my Amiga I accidently attempted to save a picture back to the DeluxePaint disk )it wasn't…
#8692 Help Message #8704
From: Denis Hennessy The Amiga Forum · Forum Business February 18, 1986 3:30 AM
The simple answer is 'Borrow an "AmigaDos Users Manual"'. If you can't get one of these the following might help: 1. set the CLI switch on in the preferences window and save settings. 2. Reboot (to be sure) and open the system subdirectory (by double- clicking it's icon. This will…

From: Denis Hennessy The Amiga Forum · Tool Box February 18, 1986 3:09 AM
Sam, Thanks for reply to my Query but we're located in Ireland and updates are a little slow in arriving here. The only versions of software we have are KS v1.0 and LC v3.03. The RKM is the early version. Can you tell me whether the documentation suggests calling (oops,…
