Sorry Claus, won't work. The original poster specifically mentioned that on an
ST, his code takes more than one VBL period. So he has to either

	- use two different delay loops, one for the ST and one for the TT

or	- wait until the VBL counter system variable (_frclk, if I remember
	  correctly) reaches a certain value. (This must be done in
	  Supervisor mode).

Rough draft:

#include <osbind.h>

#define _frclk *((long *)...)		<--- don't remember the location

long read_value_of_frclk()
{
	long old_ssp, result;

	old_ssp = Super(0l);

	result = _frclk;

	Super(old_ssp);

	return result;
}

...

void main_game_loop()
{
	long last_tick = read_value_of_frclk();
	long next_tick;

	do {

		... lots of neat stuff ...

		next_tick = last_tick + 3l;	<-- # ticks to delay

		while ((last_tick = read_value_of_frclk()) < next_tick)
			/*idle*/;

	} while (! end_condition_reached);
}


Hope this helps,
	Jens.

The version on atari.archive.umich.edu (Directory atari/Utilities/ filename
orcs.lzh)
only has the ORCS.PRG file and ORCS.RSC file.  It doesn't have the ORCS.HLP
file, or any documentation otherwise.  (Nor does it have any sample ORCS.INF
file - which is created upon the users request anyway!)

A program this good can't possible be PD can it?  The previous versions were
commercial, and this is 50-times better?!  I'm very impressed!  (I can finally
edit my desktop icons properly!!)  

If anyone knows an FTP site with the FULL archive (with all files,
ORCS.HLP etc.) Could they please tell us!  It has a LOT of features, some of
which aren't completely self explanatory!  (I'm using it okay, but I'd like to
know more!!)


Also:

Does anyone know of a program called 'Twister'.  Which is a task-switching
program.  (Similar to MiNT, except it has 'multiple ST's' instead of one
running several things at once.  It's (from memory) the sequel to 'Revolver'. 
Any information on the location of a version of it (demo/shareware??) or an
address would be great!

And:

Anyone with information concerning the conversion of Noise/Soundtracker MOD's
into TCB-Tracker format. (Or playing of Noise/Soundtracker MOD's through the
'Monster Sound Cartridge by MPH).  Could they please contact me - or tell me of
programs to do so!

Well, if the above pinout is correct for the Falcon this will be a BIG
gotcha. The SCSI-2 standard defines pin 11 as being at GND, and a
couple of SCSI disk drive manuals I have checked at random both have pin
11 at GND. I sure hope pin 11 is not *really* at +5 on the Falcon, else
almost all SCSI devices will need a special cable to disconnect that pin.

Whatever. No one here stopping you.

The A4000 didn't really turn out to be what CBM was originally telling  
developers, did it?

Kinda dropped the AT&T 32 series DSP didn't they? The hot new graphics
chips really only give you 8bit plane depth and 8bit ham modes... (Plus  
bigger/better sprites. Joy. I don't think I need an '040 game machine.)  
Did they keep the PCMCIA expansion port? Does it have internal SCSI  
support anymore? (I honestly don't know the answer to the last two.)

Commodore is just as guilty at changing specs as Atari is. Having followed  
development of both Falcon and 3500 the Falcon turned out to be much more  
a 'step-ahead' machine than the A4000. The 4000 really just brought CBM  
back up to 'state-of-the-art', nothing ahead.

In the hputils.arc file on terminator, I found this wonderful program
that *almost* works.  It takes over one of the trap vectors, and when
Epson printer codes are sent to it, it figures out what to send to a
deskjet 500.  I'm trying to use my old PrintMaster Plus program, which
has an Epson driver, but no HP driver.  It prints Epson graphics on the
Deskjet 500, but there's a blank line in between each line of graphics.
I experimented with the HP DIP switches and the Printmaster CR/LF
options, but that didn't help.  Perhaps the problem is that the emulator
is for an MX-80 and Printmaster expects an FX-80?

The author of the emulator is David L. Baily.  Is he on the net?

Thanks for any help.

There is a commercial program called ST Easel, that lets you put
almost any Degas picture as your desktop. You use the same program
for low, medium, and high resolutions, you just need to have the
picture in the right format (PC1, PC2, or PC3)/

The program is inexpensive, so try not to pirate it.

The latest (November) issue of the UK publication Personal Computer World has
a three page article about the Falcon in it. Chris Cain gives it a very
favourable review. The machine he had access to was a production machine
belonging to HiSoft and it had the new desktop etc. HiSoft's new art package
for the machine, TruePaint, was mentioned along with other software that
was available at the time.

There were also two 256 colour screenshots of TOS 4.0/GEM in action but
sound seems to have been considered the most impressive part of the machine.

Now that we've seen a review of the Falcon in PCW perhaps Atari UK should
consider putting an advertisement in there too. Peter Staddon never did
so perhaps Darryl Still will ...

That should be very nice, to have X run under (over) MiNT. But a few problems
first have to be solved:

1) Memory. Running a complete X setup (server, xterm + shell, application,
	window manager) likes a lot of memory. I only have seen this running
	on virtual memory systems -- probably the way to go. But this will
	exclude all ST models (because of 4Meg real memory limit, and no
	virtual memory models). TT, Falcon, ST+68030 can be made to run
	with VM. Does MiNT support this yet?
2) Connection method. X likes a decent network to connect server and 
	clients. Basically, TCP/IP and DECNET are supported (major).
	Is such a beast available for MiNT? (OK, for starters sockets may
	do. But see 3.)
3) In most business setups networks are heavily used; one of the strengths
	of X is (IMHO) the power to run on every machine from your
	local display. However, for decent performance one want ethernet,
	or similar speeds. Is this available for many ST's? And does
	MiNT support that?

OK, to be true -- i should check MiNT again. Last experience with a very
early version.

You know, I never saw the original message, and I never looked at his
address.  Whoops!  I didn't realize I was making a fool of myself...
Oh well, that's nothing new...

Anyway, I talked to Toad Computers and Jennifer said that many people had
called concerned about his order.  The fact, however, is that it was
shipped about a week ago, and she is sending an apology letter to Mr. Paul.

So, I guess the Internet must be some powerful force!
