AppShell
3 messages in this thread
Has anybody had any luck using the appshell.lib from the 1990 devcon disks
with Aztec C 5.0d. The linker doesn't seem to recognise file as an amiga
object file. Manx's adump utility reports:
"Got funny code 3fa @ 0"
A Type OPT H of the file has the first three lines as:
0000: 000003FA 00002D44 000003E9 000001AB …z..-D…i…+ 0010:

I'd like to use AppShell, but to get started I don't need the latest and
greatest version so I don't really want to join BIX to get it.

Kevin, From the 1990 disks? Or do you mean the 1991 disks? If the former,
I'd say not to bother with it as it has dramatically changed in the last
year. If you mean the 1991 disks, then there has not been an update
released since the disks were made available. Also, AppShell is still
rather fluid (ie, most definitely not in complete form) and the AppBuilder
is not completed, and without that, I see very little use for AppShell.
Also, do you realize that to use AppShell/AppBuilder you must buy a license
from CBM? The library will not be freely distributable (ie, does not
appear on end user 2.04 disks).

Steve, I did mean the 1990 disks, I don't have the 1991 materials yet
though I intend to get them when they're available to people who didn't get
to devcon. I hadn't realised that it would be (i) licensed or (ii) so
closely tied to Appbuilder. I figured that I could use it, even without
Appbuilde to bootstrap a 2.0 application, most of my code development up to
now has been generic and not Amiga specific since my client runs on Unix
boxes.
Ah well, I've got the modular event programming code from an old Amigamail
running and I'll build from that.
Thanks for the help, kevin
