So you want a sort of seperately scrolling area on the last two lines, eg 
given the inputs line1, line2, line3 and line4 in that order, the screen would
first display line1 on screen line 20, the line2 on screen line 21. Then when
line3 comes in, line1 will disappear from the screen, line2 will move to 
screen line 20, and line3 will be on screen line 21. Similarly for line4, etc.
Is that right? If so, you can do this using the vt52 delete-line function.
Move the cursor to the start of line 20, delete a line, move down a line, then 
print the new line, eg

   printf("\033Y%c \033M\n%s",(char)(19+32),new_input_string);

(It may not be \033M, BTW). It is fairly easy to expand this to allow for 
status lines in the middle of the screen and all sorts of cute effects.

Try compiling with -lpml on the end.  The function is actually in the
Portable Math Library.  In general, this is the place to look for floating

I recently bought a 88-meg removable Syquest drive for my TT.  I haven't 
really thought about it until today, but does the drive auto-park?  
Should I be taking the carts out before every power off?

Right now, I pretty much always leave a cart in the drive, even when it's 
not on.  Is this bad for the cart or drive?  What do all you other 
Syquest owners do?

Besides normal scoping/overloading/etc issues for things like prototypes,
there is currently no additional constraint like this that I know of.
Where do you find this mentioned in the ARM?

>But note that ARM specifies this to be implementation defined...

Actually as I recall it is unspecified.  Anyway, hence, you don't need
to specify the definition before using it.  It just becomes part of
"normal" resolution.

Unfortunately you didn't mention what env vars you've actually set, so I can
just guess what may be the problem.

I'm using gcc 2.2.2, and I can reproduce your problem, if I do set the env var
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX and I do NOT set the env var GCC_EXEC. Then I get the same
error message.
When I set GCC_EXEC and do NOT set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX then it works fine.

Maybe that helps.

Someone here was talking about the Line-A variables.  First of all, I'd
not suggest using the Line-A variables; if you do your programs will not
run on a 68020 or better.
 
The Line-A variables are available relative to a location stored somewhere
in RAM.  I'm not sure exactly where, since I use GFA-Basic and in GFA the
variable is L~A.  Anyways, the number of lines the screen has is the
longword
located at L~A-26.  The number of columns is the longword located at
L~A-28.
 
(Got this information from the GFA Basic 3.5 manual, page 471, Chapter 12:
Appendix.  From what I remember it is correct.)

I'm having problems running GCC in Gulam in TOSwin.  It works perfectly
when I run it from Gulam by itself, but in TOSwin, I keep getting:

	ld: file not found for TERM=tw52

and it won't compile.  It does the same thing for some other programs too,
especially when I'm not in the same directory as the program I'm running. 
I fiddled around with my gulam.g file for a while to no avail.  The weird
thing is that the very first times I did it it worked.  I thought and
thought about all the things I changed, but nothing seemed to do with
TOSwin.  BTW, GCC works from Gulam (without TOSwin) whether or not MiNT is
running.

I seem to have lost Eric Smith's e-mail address... does anyone know it

Hello all,

I have been using a UNIX lha which understands lh5 archives for a couple of
months now. Unfortunately, I forgot where I got it from, so I did
'archie lha'

And guess what: the very first site it comes up with contains the version
which I know works with Quester-generated lh5 archives.

Host akiu.gw.tohoku.ac.jp

    Location: /pub/unix

I would be happy to put it on atari.archive if someone mails me the proper
procedure (like where to put it and who to inform).

Let's hope this settles the (incorrectly named) lz5 war.

Line-A is dirty and shouldn't be used - except maybe when writing very machine
specific fast graphic demos and such... Easiest solution IMO: print the status
line (or whatever it is that you want on the last line) on *top* of the screen
instead of at the bottom. No need to make the screen shorter - just re-print
the topline everytime the screen scrolls up. When using Cconws and not printf()
this will be fast enough to prevent irritating flicker in normal applications.

Memory management routines, whether is TOS or in libc usually modify global
data structures (free lists etc) which makes them non-reenterant - ie you
can't safely call them from interrupts. When I needed a malloc/free that
was callable both from interrupt code & normal code I ended up writing my
own in asm.

You can set IPL to want you want providing:

If you access hardware registers/TOS variables you want it high enough
so that you don't get interrupted by a TOS routine using the same registers/
variables. The classic example is the Yamaha sound chip - you need to
be at IPL 7 to ensure the selectedregister number doesn't change between you
setting it & writing to the selected register.

Your interrupt code must not have the IPL too high for too long so that
other high priority interrupt don't run on time. At IPL 7 nothing else runs
and the MIDI port can overrun in 320uS so stick to below 300uS (Atari themselves
screwed up here - they actually recommend a 1mS limit).
At IPL 5 all the MFP stuff can interrupt you* but VBI stuff is blocked so stick
below about 10mS and you should be OK.

*Assuming your routine isn't MFP OR the MFP interrupt is higher priority than
yours OR you've cleared your interrupt-in-service bit on the MFP chip.

I purchased an ICD AdSCSI+ host adapter at WAACE to replace my old Supra.
The problem is, the date setting doesn't work.  I have successfully set
the time, and can set the date, but it always reverts back to something
like 11/14/28, or 11/12/20.  I originally thought it only returned to
this type of value after a reboot, but last night I set the date, then
did a few things (like log into GEnie for about 1/2 hour), then checked
the date.  It had reset by itself!  

I have a 1040STf, 1meg, and TOS 1.0 (ugh! but I've got 1.4 on order!).

Has anyone else had a similar problem?  I have all the latest revs of the
ICD software. (The date on the host adapter is Sept. 92!)

Thanks in advance!

Hello world, hello Eric!

I am just writing on a TSR, that manipulates the VDI/AES, Gemdos and Bios trap.

Since i am using always Setexc, i found out the hard way, that if you start a
TSR before MiNT, the AES/VDI bypass an the BIOS bypass (i presume) are still
working. But i didn't catch the GEMDOS trap anymore. Under MiNT, the Malloc
never knocked on my door. OK, the way out is quite simple, start the TSR by
MiNT and everything seems to be alright.

But there is still one sincere problem: the Traps are Setexc'ed on runtime, but
the GEM tends to throw out the AES trap routine whenever it wants to annoy us
(f.e. after starting TOS or TTP's). To get back into the trap, i use Setexc.
This _must_ be done in the Bios trap, while waiting for Setexc 257. But my
program is already terminated, so who is made responsible for this Setexc by
MiNT and which problems do i cause. Is there a way out, a daemon process is
obviously none.

Hi out there,

I have my Atari (1040) running about 4 meters next to my monitor (SM124),
but the monitor doesn't work the way it should. White points are shown
up 'too late' i.e. if there is a background like the desktop, where black-
points are close to whites, the whites points are ignored and the whole
background is black. I think this is due to the shifter, that is doesn't
raise the monochrom-pin fast enough to 1Vss... Does anyone know how to
'help' the shifter (yep, I don't have a blitter :( ). Is it possible to
bye an interface or something like this?

SCSI-2 bus.  Is this true???

If it is then why do Gasteiner(sp?) and ultimately Atari hope to sell the
Falcon with 64Mb HD for 400 pounds more than the machine without HD.  One can
easily buy a 100+ Mb HD for less than 200 pounds with an IDE interface.
Intenal SCSI drives of similar capacity can be bought for less than 300
pounds.

How would I go about detecting if an accessory was closed (after it had 
been opened, of course) while a GEM application was running?  The message 
pipe never seems to return AC_CLOSE (or AC_OPEN), which, as I'm told, are 
only received by accessories.  I tried WM_NEWTOP and no go (What the hell 
is WM_NEWTOP anyway? Never seems to be sent to my APP at all).  Any 
ideas?
 
Oh ya, basically, I want my app to check the clipboard everytime an 
accessory is closed (to see if it contains some relevant data that I may 
have copied to it from STeno or STalker).

Thanks to all who help!
