Yes. The connectors are only left out for mechanical reasons (there are
old 8-bit cards that won't fit when such a connector is present).

Use the CPR '-wb' command-line switch.

        CPR -wb filename

will debug the file as if it had started from the Workbench environment.

Alternatively, you could start CPR from the DEBUG icon, and it defaults
to Workbench environment (since that's where it was started from).

I have compiled a my program with highspeed pascal,
and when i run it from a writeprotected disk, the
program halts and tells 

DISK WRITE PROTECTED

I could not understand why my program acted like this,
so i checked, and i found that MY program tried to 

*DELETE*

a file on my disk!  WHY ? Is this a kind of virus ? or
some kind of logical bomb made by the programmers ?
One thing is sure, I did NOT (in my program) want to
delete any files at all.

The file was not found, because it did not exist. But
anyway, I did not find any information on why a file would
have to be deleted in the manuals.

I also wonder why the window title changes to CHRISTEN!!!! some 
times, It seemes like the programmers have had a lot of *fun*,
but i dont understand how a serious programming package can be 
released with these kid-jokes in it....

(In fact i like the compilator, but it eats stack.)

Can't you just write to STDOUT and STDERR if redirection is being

Article-I.D.: mixcom.1992Aug16.053823.499
Organization: Milwaukee Internet Xchange BBS, Milwaukee, WI U.S.A.

I'm looking at page 699 of RKM Libraries 3rd Ed., which displays the
definition of the struct DiskFontHeader, and trying to figure out the
intended purpose of:

/* used only if dfh_TF.tf_Style FSB_TAGGED bit is set */
#define dfh_Taglist     dfh_Segment     /* destroyed during loading */

When does this field point to the segment, and when to the taglist?  Am I,
as a font creator, supposed to be able to use this field to include a
taglist in the load file, or does taglist information reside solely in the
.font file?  If it's only in the .font file, won't FixFonts destroy it?

The bottom line concern here is: Can I specify a taglist in the load file?
If so, how?

And as long as I'm asking questions about fonts...

On page 697, in the description of the struct ColorTextFont, it seems to
suggest, but doesn't come right out and state, that the CT_COLORFONT
flag is used to indicate whether ctf_ColorFontColors actually points to
anything.  Is this an accurate interpretation?

If anyone is able to answer these questions, then please tell me where
you got your info.  I had assumed that the RKMs would be the last word,
but even they don't seem to be entirely explicit in some places.

Thanks much!

Now, you see why people make their own hardware Copper Lists and attach  
them with a user Copper list to a View. You CAN then change the palette  
during an interrupt.

May seem like very little gain for you, but for some cases, is badly  
needed.

Subject: Safe double buffering
Date: 18 Aug 92 00:16:33 GMT


I've got some routines for double buffering that work, however, are kinda
pokey.  (two bit-maps and ScrollVPort() ... gives only about 20 fps without 
doing any drawing on a 68000)  

What I'd like to do is to do the double-buffering like the example in the 1.3
RKM and create two bitmaps, two views and two copper lists and swap them 
with LoadView().  (not hard)  

My question is:  Here's my proposed main page-flip loop... is this right 
(legal?)

	...

	/* here's the part I have a question about... */
	if (view.SHFCprList != cur_page_cpr_list[0] ) {
	    /* open a window on workbench screen with a 'continue' 
	    ** gadget in it... 
	    */
	}

	cur_page_cpr_list = my_dbuf_copper_list[ cur_page ];

	view ... SHFCprList = cur_page_cpr_list;

	LoadView();

	... etc ... 

Hope this makes sense...  (BTW: how fast is LoadView() ? )

	Correct.  Assigns are handled by dos putting an appropriate lock
in (usually) dp_Arg1.  The handler must ignore anything up to AND INCLUDING
the ':'.

	Actually, unless you support the ACTION_SAME_LOCK packet (and maybe
even if you do), you should try to place a unique value for each object in
the key field.  A filesystem should never care what name was perviously used
to get a Lock.

	AmigaDos won't assume they're the same IF you support ACTION_SAME_LOCK,
but some 3rd-party programs will.

G'day all,

     Since posting a previous message about APIG (concerning the
gadtools.lib etc), I have been informed that these libraries are in Rom in
V2.04 (which I have).  (Thanks go to Chris Hames for verification)

     Could someone then tell me how to run the examples .rexx programs
supplied with Apig?!?!

     I know that "Bitmapscale.rexx" works, and maybe another script might
work (can't remember off hand), but how do I get the scripts such as:

     Gadtools1.rexx
     Gadtools2.rexx etc
     AslFonts1.rexx etc
     ex_nnnnn.rexx

to work.  At the moment, they are called, and an error message of:

     "Function not found in line x"

is being returned.  From this, all that I can deduce (maybe incorrectly),
is that the functions found in the libraries are not being called. 
However, I do know that the libraries have been called, as when typing
"RXLib" from the CLI, Apig.library and RexxRMF.library are returned.

     Could someone PLEASE help as I am in dire need to know how to use this
library, as (at the moment) I have only limited knowledge of A68k, and none
of C.  I am well versed in AMOS, but I want to be able to program intuition
interfaces.  Until next year when I go to Uni to study programming, which
includes Turbo Pascal and C (C++), my only option is APIG.

     PLEASE COULD SOMEONE HELP!!!!   8-(

You can't at present, at least not without considerable difficulty.  Both
Fortran compilers that I know of for the Amiga (Absoft and BCF) have their
own object formats, incompatible with the standard linker format.

>According to the Fortran manual, there are

I'm not sure, but wouldn't this require making the C object code (Plplot in
this case) into a shared library?

Won't work, as stated above.  Nor can you link fortran objects with BLink.

>or 
>(briefly discussed in the manual) generate assembly code, and use
>some other linker to combine this with the C library.

I've looked at this briefly, as it seems the only remaining good
alternative.  Unfortunately the Absoft compiler generates assembly output
with illegal instructions in it (!?).  Or at least the assemblers I've
tried on it (Lattice's asm, A68k) fail.  It is possible to change these
iffy instructions (can't remember offhand) into ones that work, so you
could possibly automate the process using sed or some such.  Even if you
succeed you have given up the ability to use a source level debugger.  I
was sufficiently disgusted by the situation that I gave up, and never did
get a fortran code linked to plplot on the Amiga (sigh).

Support will be by SAS Germany.
Well, at Monady I call at Frankfurt to get further Infos.I will
post them,if nobody will blame me.

: 
: Starting with version 6.0, the SAS Institute subsidiary in Germany
: will be distributing the SAS/C system and handling registration
: and mailings.  Technical support will be handled from our US office,
: but we are working on setting up a dial-up support bulletin board

That will be fine,hopefully one connected to Use/Internet.

Hi all.
Does anyone out there know how to add a window to an existing IDCMP port
being used by another window?
I opened a message port using CreateMsgPort() then assigned a window to
it using ModifyIDCMP() and setting the window's IDCMP pointer to it, and
now I want to open another window and let it share the existing IDCMP
port. I can't open them at the same time.
No matter what method I use to open it the machine either crashes or I
don't receive messages from the new window. What is the correct way to
open it?
Any replies would be appreciated.
Thanks!
