How about that. I converted your Serial module last week. It'll be interesting to see how they differ. Did you change all the LONGCARD buffer sizes to CARDINAL to accomodate the 32K ARRAY size limitation? I don't know if my job works yet 'cuz I thought I'd go the whole route and convert your demo as well. My conversion of your RawIO stuff isn't right. When I ran my conv. of RawDemo the Amy hung (no Guru) and commenced some major convulsions of df0: – positively scary. So anyway, now I'm using Benchmark's SimpleConsole stuff. Or trying to. I can't get the console to receive any input. The console window is the active one and Intuition notifies me of a VanillaKey (or RawKey) event. Upon notification I do a TestCh which returns 0C to tell me that no CHAR is in the buffer. — Art

I can't remember if I had to do anything to address the 32K array size limit. Really, the only thing I did with the Serial and FastFileIO code is just change it enough to get it to compile, and then it seemed to work. I, too, had problems adapting the RawIO stuff to Benchmark. I had put it down to work on something else, and never got around to completing it… oh well. If there's enough demand, I'll give it a second shot, but I'd MUCH rather see someone else do it (hint hint…) – Steve –
