#31607 M2Error Lock-up Message #31700
From: Kevin-Neil Klop Forum unknown · Programming September 1, 1986 2:58 AM
That is one of the bugs that got me disgusted enough to give up on it, although I seem to remember that if I terminated M2ERROR before the last error showed uup, M2ERROR would exit more or less cleanly.

Sorry for not sending you an example, been EXTREMELY busy lately. You don't have to interpret the Upstroke – just toss it in the garbage. Also look into VANILLAKEY (sorta undocumented). Makes things a bit easier.

IDCMP I/O to/from a window IS byte based, that is you get a message from Intuition every time the user hits a key (assuming you set the RAWKEY or VANILLAKEY flag when opening the window). Graphics and Text are managed via the EXEC calls. OOOOPS Graphics is via Exec, text…

Re: COMAL Sorry LArry, no connections with anyone that might know (I'm mainly a C and assembly language programmer, with a bit of prolog thrown in).

The rev number is buried at the bottom of the fine print inside the cover. Reading from the location I gave you doesn't bomb my amiga at all. I set up a C pointer to an integer equal to that location, and everything ran fine. I didn't thoroughly check it…

Why are you using IOStdReq instead of IDCMP? I find IDCMP more reliable the IOStdReq, i.e. I can get my programs to work with IDCMP, but experience the same problems you mention with IO…

Memory Location $DFF016 contains the I/O control register for the joystick ports. Bit 15 is the enable bit for the fire button (set to 0 to enable), and bit 14 is the current state. This came from the Hardware Reqf manual, page 8-12.

#26438- CASIO SAMPLER Message #26529
From: Kevin-Neil Klop Forum unknown · Audiophile July 13, 1986 3:49 PM
I wouldn't buy the thing. At 9. Khz, your maximum frequency to sample is 4khz. Yuch. Otherwise, looks pretty good. I like the mimetics outfit much better. 8 bit sample, 19Khz sample rate 1.4 Sec/sample, # samples limited by available RAM.

#19453 DoIO Message #19458
From: Kevin-Neil Klop Forum unknown · Programming May 20, 1986 2:41 PM
RAWKEY didn't work. when I initialized it at OpenWindow time. Even calling ModIDCMP didn't cure it. Am I doing something obviously wrong (like not creating a message port)? This is driving me crazy, and holding up the completion of a database program.

Finally have successfully opened a window, and can output to it. (using DoIO). When I change IOStdReq.command to CMD_READ, with length of 1, and io_DATA = &c (c is defined as char), that task locks up and refuses to do anything (other tasks run fine). Am I missing something? Thought…

I am trying to Input data from a window using console.device. I can output to the window beautifully, however when I change the values of io_Command to CMD_READ, io_Length = 1, io_Data = (APTR)&c (c is defined as char), calling DoIO(&IOStdReq) never returns!!!! I am going CRAZY!! Please help before…

I've opened a windo (type WBENCHSCREEN), and now wish to attach I/O from my program to that window. The question is: Must I do an OpenDevice to get a console. If yes, is that console local to m e? Lastly, my SYBEX book lists the format of the OpenDevice call…

Hardware Fixes Message #17541
From: Kevin-Neil Klop Forum unknown · Hardware May 5, 1986 10:13 PM
Another hardware problem (my own darn fault really, but a good warning): When CBM says to make sure thr RGB cable is secured, THEY MEAN IT. I lost 2 weeks of use and a motherboard to having the cable yanked out.
