Larry, I'm re-writing the TCB program to handle Upper or Lower case
(except for the TaskName input) and to delete trailing spaces in the
CLI input string …. I'll upload the revised program (TCB.ARC) ….
I don't know what to think of the Alternate characters that appeared
at the end of the 'TCB <cr>' listing ….. I know one thing though
— the amiga.lib _printf routine will cause a nasty GURU if the string
length its trying to print is greater than approximately 180 characters
or so. I found this out the hard way (after many GURU's).
Actually the last task I get from 'TCB<cr>' is flagged as 'Invalid' in
the Task Node Structure. The TaskName pointer is probably also Invalid
( 'GIGO' for the _printf routine ) — I'll fix this too Larry . If the
Task is flagged as 'Invalid' I'll just print out a default TaskName
( '*** ( Invalid Task ) ***' ) and otherwise just ignore the TaskName
(possibly garbage) pointer in the Task Node Structure.
Thanks for the help!
Till Later … Al Aburto
