#Current Drive
Message #31176
I've just gotten back to my determining the current drive name problem we were discussing last week. You did point me in the right direction! I'm now stalled on the GetUnitID() call in RKM vol 2, p.C-7. I have no binding for the call in Lattice. I think the register…

More details. I have sucessfully hooked into the FPP library, but to use it is quite a kludge under Lattice. I will upload some code next week to show the times using FFP, IEEE and C libraries for float and double math. Just want to verify the numbers are right…

BI Call for software
Message #29995
As you may (or may not) know, Batteries Included recently merged with ITM, a publicly traded company on the Alberta Stock Exchange. As part of our expansion, we are actively seeking new products for publication. We are looking for software for the Atai St, Amiga, MAC and IBM PC. We…

Addendums
Message #29989
Just a reminder to all of you out there to scan your CA addendums ocassionally because there's no telling what you might find. Yesterday I found the answer to my string gadget font problem. It turns out that if your screen is the workbench screen, the string gadget inherits the…

#CLI Arguments
Message #29988
Has anyone tried picking up arguments from the command line? Now the twist; has anyone tried picking up a filename with a space in it from the argument list? Does it work? I tried it as "my file" in the quotes and my first argument was "my. I don't know…

That's not such a silly question! As a matter of fact I have, but I get lots of unresolved symbols using either of ASTARTUP or LSTARTUP. Since I posted the original message I've hacked the startup code to resolve the symbols and have written my own input routines using the…

To tell you the truth, I've never tried the IoErr() function. All I use is the status return from the Examine() and Next() functions. Using the status returns and information in the InfoBlock if the status is clean seems to work correctly for me (however I'm not crawling up and…

I think you almost had your recursive solution from the sounds of it. The key is to save the context as you suggested. Each time you find a new directory and are going to call Examine(), you must allocate a new block of memory for your FileInfoBlock. When the end…

#Amiga Manuals
Message #27386
I haven't been paying attention to some of the messages posted re: second sources for Amiga manuals. I've been asked by people who own Amigas and want to know more about the machine where they could get manuals. I seem to remember Addiso or some other publisher was supposed to…

KS 1.2 Beta 4!!!
Message #27373
As far as the font goes, I'm already supplying a value for the Intuitext.TextAttr field and this is working fine. My problem is that String gadgets don't have any such field in the StringInfo structure. All you can do is supply a pointer to the text to be contained in…

#KS 1.2 Beta 4!!!
Message #27299
I have a few more problems I've found in all versions of the Amiga system software. Has anyone else seen these? * INTUITICKS can stack up at the IDCMP. Under certain situations I can get many (10+) INTUITICKS messages pending at my IDCMP. This causes me problems because I set…

I've just checked out the v 1.2 Beta 4 and have a few more observations to add. * Why were the complementing colours changed?! If an area of the screen was complemented in previously released versions, white changed to black while blue changed to red. The new version complements white…

Our staff had similar problems. Speak to them. Mark Skapinker. Batteries Included. * Reply: 8737
