Hi Charles, Here's an Arexx program I wrote that might help you. Put a line in your program such as: "run Clock.rexx". Also add a few setclip()'s for various items (see the ERROR section). Edit the Clock program to send whatever command to your 'PORT' name… —————- /* Clock.rexx by…
v3.0+
Message #41044
Is there a newer version of RexxArpLib?
Hi Daniel, Thanks for your interest in MoneyRX. I put your name down on my list.
Chris, I've yet to draft any sort of beta testing conditions. I will put you on my notice list, & contact you when the time is right.
Howdy, For those who might be interested, I've written an accounting program for the Amiga in Arexx. The RexxArpLib library serves as the graphic interface. WShell & CygnusED are also intergrated. This creation is a result of having used BEST for a year, back in 1988 🙂 Here's a quick…
Thanks Steven. I've changed my config file, so that one can use either 🙂
#Arp
Message #134608
Anyone know what the status is of the ARP commands? Who has the copyright to them? I'm interested in possibly including a few of the commands with my program. They still work better than some of the AmigaDos v2.1 counter parts.
Ricoh
Message #75932
Howdy, I have an A2000 with a GVP Series 2 scsi 030 board. Currently using AmigaDOS v2.1. Internally, there is a Fujitsu M2624SA 520meg scsi hard drive at ID 0. Externally there is a GVP/Ricoh 600 meg Magneto-Optical scsi removable at ID 1. These two drives work well. On the…
Manfred, currently the addbuffers is at 500, still more?
#various rexx stuff
Message #36193
Here's a couple of questions… For my Accounting program (main script is over 150k, written in Arexx & using rexxarplib) I would like to monitor its stack usage using "StackWatch". This program requires a Task Name in which to monitor. When my program is running, its Task Name is "Arexx"…
#Slow Jlink
Message #108826
I recently upgraded to Janus v2.1. On the DOS side when I CD to one of the 4 jlinked drives and do a Dir, it takes about 25 seconds before the listing appears! Pretty slow. Anyone know the cause/solution is?

H Dean, I noticed your comment about being interested in any accounting programs for the Amiga. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Here's a brief description of several programs, that I've written entirely in ARexx, as a personal project. The rexxarplib.library is used for screens/windows/gadgets. >>> Money.rexx (current working title), is about 141k bytes in…
Tom, I couldn't agree more about the need for better information for making good use of those compiler switches. Hopefully the new manual will cover this. And yes, Magic File Requester was the one that I have problems with in my accounting program. Still haven't figured it out yet. Sure…
CED
Message #36881
Perry, what's happening with the CEDpro upgrade?
Robert, thanks for the tip. I've only heard of PowerPacker, but not Turbo Implode. Is there much difference tween these two?
Tom My A2000 is running on a GVP 33mhz board, with 9 megs of ram. I've done only one time check last weekend. Starting the program from the prompt, the interpreted code (209,362 bytes) took 25 sec before the program was ready, the compilied code (589,936 bytes) took 18 sec.…
Requester problem
Message #21327
I've been trying out a new file requester called "MagicFileRequester V1.0" by Stefan Stuntz. One places the MFR icon into the WBStartup drawer. It can replace the REQ or ASL file requesters. Using CygnusED, it works great. Now in my arexx program that uses the Arp GETFILE, when I select…
Hi Gayle, Regarding jlink – is there a way to make it produce a bigger partition than 33 meg limit that it currently has?
Just a quick note to all… Currently I have 7 AT slots _in_ my Amiga 2000. They are filled (left to right) with: TrueVision 4meg VMX memory board TrueVision 4meg Vista board – Mitsubishi FL6605 monitor connected AST 8meg Rampage Plus memory board – w/dongles for RIOv5.0 & HR-QFXv2.0 Enhanced…
#Arexx & Icons
Message #18849
I have a problem getting an icon to do a job (guess you can tell that I have been mucking with wb2.04 :). I also installed Wshell v2.0. The program in question is DiskMaster v2.0 and it has arexx controls and a port called 'DM'. Normally I work out of…
Allan, my dh1: is a 760 meg Maxtor with a C partition of 285 megs. At 20 buffers per meg – that works out to be – Addbuffers dh1: 5700 Currently it is set to 50 buffers. Guess I'll have to try it 🙂 Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Looks like the line eater was busy. Here's another attempt of my last post. —————— Having a problem with the config file. I cannot get a menu item onto a Function key. In particular "Select/Lock" onto F5. All the others work fine. FF01 160 # 1 undo FF02 330 #…

#ATOP BB Extender
Message #39014
Steven, I called ATOP and placed an order. Should be here next week. Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Gayle, the JAMECO rig sounds like it should work. Just fit it into a case and you're all set. Anyone going to try it? Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Gayle, putting together an article shouldn't be too bad. I'll see what I can do. Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Gayle, I once had a JAMECO catalog and ordered an Expanded memory board from them (turned out to be too wide so I returned it!). Since I can't see the items you mentioned, I don't know whether they would work. I assume they plug into one DOS slot on the…
Steven, do you have the phone number for ATOP? Since all of my 6 slots are currently filled, installing the extender right onto the bbd would be a good solution. Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Gayle, you're welcome 🙂 Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Gayle, I un-soldered the rightmost female slot (where the bboard normally sits) from the Amiga motherboard. Got 2 new XT slots wired together with leads going under this bboard slot to the 62 pins. Re-installed this group of 3 XT slots back onto the Amiga motherboard. There is about 1/8…
Marion, thanks. I've had that fix done last spring. Seems to work fine. Have you heard of "cachecard", a program from Dave Haynie, that disables the 68030 from caching the bridgeboard's dual-port memory? Just for your info, in my A2000 with 286 bridge, there are 4 AT slots and 2…
Perry, okay, guess I'll have to wait. Bruce had visited my studio last week and mentioned he was working on it. Ken Cooper – Vancouver
#Postmsg()
Message #28430
Hi Perry. I'm using CED v2.12 with Arexx v1.15 and v1.32 OS. I would like to use a rexxarplib function – postmsg() and have it display on top of CED. Does CED have a proper publicscreen name or somesuch? result = PostMsg(x, y, strings, publicscreen) Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Hi Marion, Is the fix you mentioned, the one about pin 6 on U72 going to J17A-pin 30? Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Tom, thanks for the PopColor tip. I should be able to find it. Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Color Requester
Message #15001
How can one include a color palette requester to a arexx program that opens its own screen/windows? Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Chip number
Message #36415
I was cleaning the pins on a couple of chips on a 286 bridgeboard, and may have replaced them into the wrong holder. Could someone take a quick peek at chip location U6 on the main board and see whether the sticker says 380672-01 or 380673-01. This chip is near…
Hi Steven, I called the company and spoke to Mark Downing. Nice fellow. He was from the IBM world and had rexx experience. Once the Amiga came out he got the idea to write an interpreter, but heard a rumour that some guy had already started writing one (Bill Hawes).…
Steven, thanks for the info. I'll give them a call. BTW, you mention an ad. Which magazine did they advertise in? Ken Cooper – Vancouver
Steven, could you supply more info regarding the company that is starting to market the Arexx compiler? I've tried using ExecRexx from dissidents, but my 190K of code seems to have a disagreement with it 🙂 Ken Cooper – Vancouver
#Numbers/Colors
Message #8325
Hi Bill, I took one of your examples from the Arexx doc files and extended it to a higher range. So typing this line at a Wshell prompt: rx "do err=1 to 48;say err errortext(err);end" For some reason, there is no response from 4, 7 or 38! This question is…
