#ASL library
13 messages in this thread
Have a friend running Photogenics that requires asl.library v.39 or newer to
run.He's running ver 3.0 of AmigaDOS. Is there a newer OS for the amiga? I'm a
PC guy so I don't have a clue as to what it is, but I do have Cserve access.
Any help would be greatly appretiated!

William,
the last official version of asl.library is 38.36. It is supplied with Versions
2.1, 3.0 and 3.1 of the Amiga operating systems.
There might be some inofficial newer Version I don't know of, so if Photogenics
needs such a beast, it should be part of the Photogenics installation discs.

not true i got v39 of asl with 3.0
Lepido,
I apologize to spread wrong information. Your are right, version 39.4 of
asl.library is on the 3.0 Workbench disk, and version 40.6 on the 3.1 Workbench
disk.
I had to know by checking the Autodocs_3.1/doc/asl.doc file, but I tried to get
the version actually distributed on the Disks using the version command without
the FILE option, which fooled me with wrong results.

Werner: The asl.library I have is 40.6, so it seems like you have a 2.1 library
for some reason. Maybe some nice program installed it your you <g>.

John,
you are right of course. I mucked with the version command. On an OS 2.1
machine, I put the WB Disks of 3.0 and 3.1 into DF0: and typed
version df0:libs/asl.library
which gave me wrong results :-(.
After typing
version df0:libs/asl.library FILE
I got asl 40.6 (7.5.93) for OS 3.1 and asl 39.4 (18.8.92) for OS 3.0.

I don't know about you, but my version of 3.1 includes …
8.Workbench:> version asl.library
asl.library 40.6
erm, I have version 40.6 of asl.library, it came with the 3.1 upgrade. I
suspect that there was also a 39.x version as extra functionality was added at
this point (to do with overscan, I just had a quick look at the autodocs and
there was definately changes for v39 & v40).

Philip,
I know, I know… you are right of course.
asl 40.6 (7.5.93) was distibuted with OS 3.1 and asl 39.4 (18.8.92) with OS
3.0.
I made a mistake when checking the 3.0 and 3.1 Workbench Disks with the
'version df0:libs/asl.library' command in a 2.1 environment without the 'FILE'
option – which gave me wrong results.
I had to know better by checking the Autodocs_3.1/doc/asl.doc file, but I
wanted to get the version actually distributed on the Disks.
Shame on me!

Yeah the version command can be a pain. Until the "FILE" option of course, the
only way to find the REAL version number of a library was to type the contents
in hex mode, very messy.

Or, you could use WBVersion By Hakan Hellberg. I have it set in a dock so I
just drop libraries or programs on it an get the $VER string out of it and
displayed on the Workbench in a window. Hardly fails to extract the info.

Yes, there is OS 3.1 which uses version 40.6 of the asl.library. Your
friend should be able to upgrade buy purchasing the OS from any reputable
dealer or mail order house.
