Manx C / MC68881
Message #20297
I've been able to use the 68881 with the +fi, mt.lib and the IEEE lib (1.3). I had wanted to use the 68881 directly using the +f8, m8.lib options. To use transcendtals you must include some headers. Try math.h and functions.h.

Message #59924
I tried several times to upload this description for a file I uploaded to dl7. Mayby you can get the system to accept this: Life3 is a 3D version of the cellular automaton game popularized by John Conway. The 3D game was recently described in the Computer Recreation column of…

Fortran Compiler
Message #31573
Absoft sells a real nice '77 + extension compiler for the AMIGA. It supports ( and even documents ! ) ROM kernal calls. I've got a copy I've been using for a review for AMI Project. Haven't been able to fool it yet. Looks like a solid product. If you…

#High Res Monitor
Message #21985
I've always wondered ( always since i've had an Amiga ) why a TV doesn't work. Doesn't a standard TV signal have exactly the same timing? Or, as the ZEN masters would say: When is interlace not interlace?

Sony 3.5" Drives
Message #20760
Two hardware questions: I saw a California Digital ad in Byte for Sony 3.5 in. drives for $139. Has anyone connected one of these to the Amiga? If I were interested in 640×400 color and NOT in animation what monitor would do the best job?

Got a copy for review ( in AMI Project ) a few days ago. It does appear to be very nicely done. The review should appear about in about 2 months. For FORTRAN fans: this looks like a complete F77 with structured language extensions ( case, repeat … ). The…

I'd like to see Mach 1. I've been surprised a bit by relative speeds on the Amiga. I have a prerelease version of UBZ which is subroutine threaded and it's slower than Multi-Forth which is token threaded ( sieve benchmark ) Other than MVP I don't think you'll see any…

The big advantage of a library is that as long as you keep the same interface you can recompile ( reassemble ? ) it at will. If someone supplies a FP library to use the 68881 all you need to do is put that library where your compiler can see…

Forth Column in Amazing
Message #18948
GREAT! BUT….I hope that I'll be done mucking around with this low level stuff and can start flying before it appears. BTW I uploaded a small map of how the major graphics structures relate to each other in DL# of the FORTH sig ( GO FORTH ). An expanded version…

Forth Column in Amazing
Message #18424
there are about 16 pages of paper doc that go with MVP that your friend should get. These give a few hints about how to use the Amiga version. There are two texts that MVP sells ( All About Forth and Forth Guide ) that document the generic version. Unless…

John I've got a copy of the commercial version of MVP and it's pretty bare bones. It's reviewed in the first issue of Amiga Project which is being shipped now. Creative Solutions has just started shipping ( see msg 14220 ). There will be a review in the next issue…

FORTH FOR AMIGA
Message #14223
Tom There are several Forths available for the Amiga. MVP has a public domain version that has little support for the features that make the Amiga interesting. Creative Solutions has just started shipping their Amiga version of Multi-Forth ( see msg 14220). There is another product advertized by UBZ I…

Forth for the Amiga
Message #14220
CSI is now shipping Multi-Forth for the Amiga. I've been using it for a month ( as a beta tester ) and it is GREAT! There is full access to libraries and the kernal has been recoded to make it is much faster. Below are some sieve benchmarks to argue…

Message #4894
Larry, Thanks for the info. Does the new ATERM handle CSI's correctly or does it leave "[" all over the screen? BTW does anyone know how to read function keys from AmigaBasic or write to the screen so that CSI are not filtered? The MSbasic is a vast improvement over…

FORTH?
Message #1774
Jonathan' A FORTH from UBZ software was supposedly shipped last week. I havn't got my copy yet. They have an ad in the new AMIGAWORLD. I talk to the author last week and it sounds great ( of course ). It uses 32 bit addressing with F83 style words and…

Dave; Does either editor let you copy and move lines? They seem complete except for that puzzling omission.
Thanks, I'll give it a try. Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
The danger of sounding knowledgeable is that people will ask questions. Is there a way to copy abasic source files on a 1 drive system? *** There are replies: 42017, 42036 Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
#AMIGA DL

Steve, Spell works on my AMIGA so I must have made a typing mistake when transfering it to my C64. If you can briefly identify the bug I'll patch and reupload. *** There is a reply: 41900 Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
