#Apassist
11 messages in this thread
Ben,
The test version of apassist just placed in the libraries works great (so
far) but apassist still HAS to be in c: to work. I use a cx: for all non CBM
commands, it is in my path and works great for 95% of whatever I put there but
IM R/T and Autopilot does not find it (apassist) in cx:, it must be in c:. Is
this a known condition?

Steve,
It's probably being called as "c:ApAssist". I don't recall offhand, but that
would fit what you describe.

Ben,
Is a problem with Apassist or the calling program? Can it be fixed, ie
env. variable, tool type ect? Not very important but usefull.

With the calling program. ApAssist can be run from anywhere.
Not necessarily correct (tho not ApAssist's fault either).
AutoPilot calls ApAssist with …
sprintf(li, "run ApAssist %s", nt);
ret = system(li); /* Attempt to start ApAssist */
More recent versions of AmigaDOS appear to have a problem with the
PATH command. If you do not put ApAssist in c:, but do have its
location in your path, it will not be found. However, if you assign
that location to c: with the "add" modifier, it will be found.
Really… very interesting! I never tried to make a new C:, I just
kept jamming stuff in there – it always worked, so I never had to
"fix" it. 🙂 Well there you go. AutoPilot's doing the right thing,
ApAssist doesn't care one way or the other, and AmigaDOS is biting
the guy. Life is strange.
"With the calling program. AppAssist can be run from anywhere."
REALLY? how about in the dead sea at say 200 Fathoms on a rainy night

Sorry Ben couldn't resist
BTW has Winimages 3 begun shipping yet? Also quick question does it
support any sort of Virtual Memory like Imagemaster does? or better
yet does it have it's OWN Virtual RAM system? Twould be GREAT to work
with it and PhotoCD images for touchup and then send it back out to
Film 😉
WinImages 3 has NOT begun shipping yet. When this GIF thing began to
break, we were about to go – then held back a couple of days to see
what was going on, then a couple more… then one of our major
customers got wind of some of the things we were putting in R4, and
begged us to put them in R3… they were done and working, and so we
gave in. 🙂 That gave us a few more days to consider the "GIF
thing", and it upgrades the R3 version – which is a good thing,
because R3 is going to ship _without_ GIF support, due to the Unisys
legal position. A long answer for a simple question.
R3 will go out the door next week. Definitely.
WinImages uses Windows built-in virtual memory, so yes, that support
is in there, you bet – works fine. And it works well with images
taken from PhotoCD's – and they look pretty good, at least the hires
ones do.
Will I like it? 🙂

Oh yeah, you will. 🙂 <Waving Back> –Ben
