Thanks, Wayne. The demo version is on Fred Fish 380. It's crippled in certain ways, like not responding on Monday's, but seems able enough to get a good idea of what it's like. There's a book by N. Wirth, I believe, which just specifies the language. It's supposed to be…
Oberon
Message #18061
Does anybody use the Amiga version of Oberon? How much does the commercial version cost, and where can one get it? I've a mind to play around with the demo version in the Fred Fish library over the holidays, and wonder what its current status is.
Mike, I agree with Charlie. Both the code samples you showed have one level too many of indirection. You should write move.l im_Class(a1),d1 then start testing the bits in d1. The IDCMP does indeed set *all* the flags you have requested in your initial window structure at once, in each…

Nope, Tony, I didn't know that a pattern was expected after s! Now, more than ever, I call it a bug! –David

A bug thread is a good idea, Brian! Here's what I've noticed so far. 1. A persistent bug in all versions to date: "list s" does not work from the CLI. "list s/" or "list s:" or "list :s" does. 2. ScrollLayers() was fixed in pt. When writing to an…

Yes, I'm using the Beta V1.2 software. That eliminated a scroll problem, and sharpened the Text problem.

#Looonnngg Text()
Message #24807
I've been away from CI$ for awhile, and I'd like to bring up again a question I raised some time ago. I apologize if the answer is already sitting here and I just haven't seen it. I was trying to write and scroll text in an intuition, superbitmap window, 1008…

Message #13843
George, could you clarify the copyright/public domain status of the stuff in the data libraries? In particular, should I refrain from posting ATERM5 to another system, such as the University of Michigan's MTS CRLT:AMIGA conference? In the case of ATERM5, there is neither a copyright nor a public domain declaration…

#GRONK Test
Message #12505
Of course you are right about the general inadvisability of turning off the interrupts for a long time in a multitasking environmnent. And although Thom's test program is not something you would expect to run when there could be competition, it does include an initial delay of several seconds to…

#GRONK Test
Message #11929
A few days ago, I submitted a short assembly language program (written by Thom Sterling) to DL1 (hardware), which demonstrates how the disk drive stepper motor rate can be set from software. It also exercises one of the Amiga's hardware timers, and incidentally demonstrates that the multitasking system can recover…
These and all the other library function offsets (from library base addresses) are in Amiga.Lib, with labels _LVOOpenWindow, _LVOCloseWindow, etc. You can "xref" these labels in your assembly language source code and they will get resolved at link time if you set the LIB parameter in the ALINK command line…
GRONNNNK!
Message #11499
A colleague, Thom Sterling (we are both associated with Errex, Inc.), has written a short assembly language Gronnnnk test. The result is that the disk drive step rate can indeed be set by software, with the currently installed rate apparently about one step in 2.5-3 milliseconds. His perception on his…

Thanks, a bug like the one you mention in ScrollLayer might explain my smearing problem. But it doesn't sound as if it explains my clip-at-left-butnot-at-right problem for text of smaller widths in still smaller windows. It's funny, what you say about the blitter limitation. I had already changed the maximum…

Thanks for explaining the periods. So here's the part of the buglist that got garbled (see #10130 for the rest): There is a generic bug in the assembly language version of the include files, both in the listings in Rom Kernel Manual II, and in the source files (versions 1.0…

#BugList
Message #10130
Regarding Pete Baczor's call for bug reports to Commodore, I think people should be encouraged to send their bug lists to the Forum first, THEN to Pete. Maybe in the programming sector of the data library we could have a file called BugList (or several files if the need arises).…
