Xpr Callbacks Fixed Prob
Message #13758
Steve, That was it!! I fixed my Xpr callbacks, using your example, and everything started working fine! Thanks for the help!! Kev – "Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend." "Inside of a dog, its too dark to read!" – Groucho Marx
Thanks for the tips, Steve!! I'll let you know how everything works out! BTW, for unlink, I just did the following: long __saveds __regargs xfunlink ( char *buf ) { return ( DeleteFile ( buf ) ); } I'll have to look at your example closely to see where I'm…
Steve, thanks for the tip about using WaitIO()! I'll check my code and see how I'm doing it. The setting system time bug shouldn't be a problem. I never set it. I might read it, but I'll never set it. How would you suggest I implement the Xpr callbacks "correctly"…
#Xpr Lib Programming
Message #13043
I am trying to write a telecomm program that uses the Xpr libraries. I have two problems that are killing me. 1) What is the difference between the XprZmodem 2.0 and 2.1 libraries? 2.0 works fine for me, 2.1 crashes miserably. I've looked at the source for both, and I'm…
No problem, Al. Hope it works for you! Kev – "Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend." "Inside of a dog, its too dark to read!" – Groucho Marx
Phil, What exactly do you need? I see that Bill Hawes has already responded to you, and they don't come more knowledgeable about ARexx than him! Kev – "Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend." "Inside of a dog, its too dark to read!" – Groucho Marx
Al, here is a snippet of code that should do it char *string = "I am a string"; struct RastPort *rp; /* set to windows RastPort */ SetAPen ( rp, 1 ); /* set the color of the text */ SetBPen ( rp, 0 ); /* set the color of…
Pat, I managed to find them at a local BBS, but you can go over to the AmigaVend forum and look in MicroSmith's library. They ought to be there. Kev – "Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend." "Inside of a dog, its too dark to read!"…
ASyncRun() problem!
Message #21904
Charlie, I am having some difficulty getting ASyncRun() to execute. I have typed in the example that Scott Ballantyne and you wrote for Transactor volume 1 issue 3, specifically, listing 5, or magic.c. I am using ARP v1.3, installed from the TxEd 2 disk. My system is a stock A2K,…
Mike, Thanks! I'll give SAS a call Monday to see about getting the LCompare program! Kev – "Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend." "Inside of a dog, its too dark to read!" – Groucho Marx
LPATCH docs
Message #7809
John, I want to use LPATCH for upgrading some software I am writing. However, I can't find any docs on it in the Lattice C 5.0x docs or the SAS 5.10 update pages. Can you (or anybody else who knows 🙂 point me in the right direction for instructions on…
Bob, Thanks for the reply! Looks like I'll be trying to locate the A68K assembler locally on one of the boards here in the DC area. Thanks! Kev – "Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend." "Inside of a dog, its too dark to read!" – Groucho…
#Assembling rexxglue.asm
Message #7645
Bill, I am having some problems assembling rexxglue.asm from the Developer's subdirectory of the ARexx 1.10 disk. I have to plead near total ignorance about assembly programming, so its probably something real simple 🙂 I am using the SAS 5.10a assembler with the command line : ASM -iINCLUDE: rexxglue.asm The…
Very Wierd, Ben. What version of the motherboard do you have? Mine is 6.2, I believe. Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the law!"
Ah, that explains why nobody saw the problem! In any case, as noted elsewhere in this thread, the latest version of SetCPU (v1.6) doesn't cause this problem anymore. John, thanks for taking the time to explain this! Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the law!"
Ben, Hmm, very strange! My system is a GVP 68030, 5MB RAM, FlickerFixer, using ARP 1.3, and the latest WShell and ARexx (and a host of other things! Its nice to work for a company that uses Amigas! 🙂 and I haven't had any problem with SetCPU. The hardware has…
Kelly, Hmm, I'll try to zap it today. In fact, one of my co-workers just suggested the same thing. I guess I'm just a little bit leery of zapping other peoples code! 🙂 Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the law!"
Very true about SetCPU being "unofficial" software, Ben. My comment was meant to say "I don't know of anybody with an accelerated Amiga who ISN'T using SetCPU" and to express my surprise that the testers at SAS apparently aren't using SetCPU. Clear as Mud?? Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not…
John, I am curious, though, as to why no mention of this was in the docs. SetCPU seems to me like a very common piece of an accelerated machines package. Well, as you know, all's well that ends! Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the…
John, I'll try that right now, hold on a sec . . . OK, that fixed it!! The BUILD icon works now, just as advertised! Thanks a lot John! Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the law!"
Bill, John Toebes gave me the solution! It seems that SetCPU was renaming the Workbench screen to Fastbench, which kept the software from working. The fix was simply adding "NOPATCH" to the SetCPU argument line. The bad part is of course that now my drives are clicking again. 🙂 Kev…
Ahh, but the problem is that the judge is moving at near-c as well! This is, of course, the real reason behind the _perceived_ slowness of the judicial system in America! 😉 Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the law!"
Bill, The assignments and paths were the first thing I checked! Thanks for the suggestion!! Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the law!"
Ben, "Would you believe rounding error got the better of me?" Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the law!"
Herbert, Taking your suggestions in order: 1) Checking the required assignments and paths was the first thing I looked at! 2) I haven't tried BUILD with only one source file, I had run SASCSETUP on an existing project with about 10 – 15 source files. I'll try it tonite! Of…
#SAS from Workbench trble
Message #4353
Okay, I give up. Has ANYBODY been able to get the SAS_C upgrade to Lattice to work from Workbench? It works great from the CLI, but while I've got lots of pretty icons, all I can do so far is invoke CED on the source files. (Thanks to ASDG for…
David, Well, off hand, I don't know Keith's address, but since we share an office, I can tell him you need to talk to him. BTW, my Whap! book has Keith's CI$ ppn as 73170,307. Kev "300,000 km/sec – It's not just a good idea, its the law!"
Ed, That's wierd! I am using the latest Lattice (v 5.05) and the latest WShell (v 1.2) and I have never seen that happen! What options are you specifying with 'lc'? TTFN, Kev
Mike, Actually, having a variable such as __stacksize would be an nice thing! So please don't change your mind! TTFN, Kev
Hmm, they must be going by subscription numbers, as my last name starts with an 'F' and I haven't received mine yet. 🙁 Kev
Yep, this is the kind of thing that makes me glad I have WShell! Hmm, it occurs to me that I didn't explain that my friend was trying to get it to work on his home Amiga, so we tried it here on my work Amiga. When it didn't work…
#AShell and Conman
Message #64538
Bill, I've gotta question for you! 🙂 I'm testing out the AShell from ARP v1.3 with Conman 1.3, and opened a new shell with the command: ashell "con:/1/300/100/test/c" It opened the Ashell with the close gadget, as I had wanted, but the close gadget is only partly functional. Clicking on…

HD backup utilities
Message #62687
I bought Quarterback for here at the office (my home Amiga doesn't have a hard drive 🙂 and it does the job quite nicely! Kevin

#Comparing directories
Message #62686
Don, Have you considered using the ARP copy command? With the environmental variable _copyflags_ SET equal to _Q_ (for Quick) it will skip copying any file that is in the source directory and identical to a file in the destination directory (where identical means things like filename, size and date…
That's right, I had GOMF 3.0 going too! Kev
Martin, yes, right off the Workbench 1.3 Disk. Kev
#ARP v1.3 Info Dates
Message #10621
Cheath, I just tried INFO DATES on my system (A2000, 5MB, with the latest versions of ARexx, WSHell, ARP, and POPCLI running in the background) and it hung forever before a Ctrl-C got me out. It broke out about 45 seconds AFTER I hit the Ctrl-C, too! So there is…

ARP1.3- programmer
Message #10446
Hi Cheath! Sorry its taken so long to get back to you, but I only check into this forum once a week (usually on Fridays :). To answer your question, no I did not receive the v1.1 ARP notice mailed to me. BTW, I have received (way, way back in…
Changing Update Sched.
Message #51337
Bill, How do I go about changing my updates to auto-updates? Is this note enough? Or do you need serial numbers, etc.? Currently I have WShell 1.05 and ARexx 1.06. Thanks! Kevin Ferlazzo
PW2.5B and Inovatools1
Message #33060
Code" however, a problem occurs. The first window has two Menus, Menu1 and Menu2. But when PW generates the PopUpMenu in window 2, it assigns Menu2 to it also! Obviously, this is going to crash on compiling. My current fix is to edit the generated code and change the second…
PW2.5B and Inovatools1
Message #33059
I have been having some problems with PowerWindows 2.5B and Inovatools 1. Let me describe them to you all, and hopefully somebody will have a fix! 🙂 In my program I have three windows opened on a lores custom screen. All three have gadgets, the first has a Menu strip,…
TxEd+ and ARexx Macros
Message #1589
Hello CHeath! A quick question: How can ARexx obtain the name of the current file being edited from TxEd Plus? I am writing an ARexx program to automate my software development environment, and I am using the full ARexx implementation (v1.6). I want to allow the user to get into…
