If they do, could they tell me where to get it?

I asked a question the other day, which everyone seemed to
misunderstand, so I'll re-state it it a different way, in the hope
that someone can help me. I'm using GDOS fonts in a program I'm
writing,  I'm not trying to hack GDOS, just using them as usual. The
problem I have is how to find the fonts when I need them. If people
have their fonts on a hard drive, they have no need of a prompt, as
the fonts will be directly accessible. However, people without a
hard disk will need a prompt to insert the font disk, before I can
call vst_load_fonts. I don't want to dictate that the fonts must be on
the program disk, as the program already has to access a large amount
of data, and space is limited.

Several people suggested I looked in the ASSIGN.SYS file, but I cannot
assume that the boot disk will be present, and I have the same problem
about finding that as I do with the fonts! The point I was making is
that GDOS must load the font path into memory on boot-up, as IT has to
find the fonts, so: Is there any way of getting this information back
from GDOS?

I can't imagine that I'm the first person to have this problem.

Keith.

Backspace on the ST/TT sends a control-h character, which to Emacs is
help mode, so the easiest solution is probably just to re-configure
emacs in an initialization file:

(from the emacs FAQ)

    * Another approach is to switch keybindings and put help on "C-x h"
      instead:

        (global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char)
        (global-set-key "\C-xh" 'help-command) ; override mark-whole-buffer

      Other popular key bindings for help are M-? and "C-x ?".

      WARNING: Don't try to bind DEL to help-command, because there
      are many  modes that have local bindings of DEL that will interfere.

It does!

It also works with STalker, and 90% of all those other window-based
programs (you can stretch the window over the extra space).  

FZDSTerm supports it, gives you more columns/lines on the screen.

Spectre-GCR, unlikely, but perfectly possible!

Uniterm/Flash, no!

Basically, anything that will run on the TT in one of the TT res's, will
work under Over-scan.  (And most will use the extra space).  Not a very

good reason there, but one that will work in many cases! 8-)

I seem to recall that somewhere was said or written that ST does not
puts bombs for exceptions higher than 5 or 6.  So if you see more bombs
that means that the whole chain of exceptions occured and you will
have to decode what happened by some other means.

I've used a Golden Image GI-600 for over a year now, and compared to
that ugly Atari rodent it is superb. I need about A5-sized area for
it, the buttons are as good as new (unlike in the original mouse, in
which I managed to break the left one!) and I also got it pretty cheaply. 

So, I'm pleased with it. Test before you buy.

Uuhmm.. y're right.  Sorry about the confusion - must have been a slip of the
mind.  Indeed, Cleanup only cleans up HDs and doesn't defragment them, and the
PD-utility I mentioned did both, but ruined my HD while cleaning up (and not
while defragging).  I now defrag my partitions manually (move an entire
partition to another, and move the files back again...).  The advantage of this
is that you have control over the _order_ in which files are stored on your HD.
I always put .prg's first, followed by .rsc's, etc.  Works rather well --
although I must admit that I wasn't able to use this method in the 30Meg-area.
But now, with a 210Meg drive, this has proven to be a rather effective and safe
method.
For cleaning up your HD I still recommend ICDs Cleanup though  :-)

You don't want MODPAS: when I treid to use it it seemed very sub-standard (as
opposed to Turbo's super-standard) and all the docs will need translating.
Unless there is a new version I ain't heard about.

I must admit that I've never looked into this problem, but can't you
simply detect that GDOS cannot load a font, and tell the user about it?
Something like 
 "[Cannot use font [blah].|Perhaps insert the font disk?][ Retry ][ Cancel ]"
This would even cover removable harddisks.

Also, juggling with disks like this is very difficult. It is very easy
to miss a case where the wrong disk is inserted. Are you sure you
want to do this?

I think that the older host adapters will work, but that they only won't be
able to deliver the performance that the drive offers you. Since SCSI uses
an interlocked handshake scheme, the asynchronous transfer rate will be
dictated by the slower side of the transfer. With an ICD Advantage Plus ST
my Quantum hard drive does no better than 550 kB/sec, while newer adapters
can certainly double that (though this does not necessarily double system
performance for disk bound applications; seek time and latency dominate
data access time for random disk access).

Some SCSI devices (eg. a Wangtek 5150ES) have problems with the very narrow
(60-70 nsec with my 5150ES) ACK pulses provided by the ICD Advantage Plus ST
adapter, but this can be easily corrected by a small modification to the host
adapter.

Hello,

I am having some trouble with GNU-make. I finally persuaded make to do what
it should, but I had to use some weird tricks. So would you please look into
the following makefile and tell me whether I made a mistake or whether I
found a bug in one of the programs involved.

The general idea is that I want to build a program 'zoohdl.prg' from a
source 'zoohdl.c'and several libraries using the Pure C Compiler.

--------------------makefile starts here--------------------
SHELL = \bin\tcsh.ttp

CC = pcc
INCLUDE = \gnu\include
CPPFLAGS =
CFLAGS = -I$(INCLUDE) -C -V

LINKER = plink
LINKERFLAGS = -S=0 -V -O=$@ $(START)
LIBDIR = \f\p.c\lib\$(empty)
START = $(LIBDIR)crt0.o
LIBS = acs pcgemlib mintflt mintlib pcstdlib
XLIBS = $(addprefix $(LIBDIR), $(addsuffix .lib,$(LIBS)))


zoohdl.prg : zoohdl.h zoohdl.o
	cd $(PWD);$(LINKER) $(LINKERFLAGS) $(basename $@).o $(XLIBS)

zoohdl.o: %.o : %.c
	cd $(PWD); $(CC)  $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $<

.DEFAULT:
	echo $@ -- Default-Rule!

%.o : %.c
	cd $(PWD); $(CC)  $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $<


--------------------makefile ends here--------------------

(1) If I call make with no further options I get the message

    make: No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
    
    If I call make with -fmakefile  (i.e. 'make -fmakefile') everything
    works.


(2) As you can see above there is a static pattern rule zoohdl.o: %.o : %.c 
    If I remove this rule (and touch zoohdl.c) and call 'make -fmakefile' I
    get the message

    make: 'zoohdl.prg' is up to date.


(3) In all the rules really doing something I had to add a 'cd
    $(PWD)'command. Without this the Pure C Compiler will complain

    Error ZOOHDL.C: Unable to open input file 'zoohdl.c'


I use the following programs:
TOS 3.05
MiNT 0.95 Pl 13
GNU make version 3.62 atariST
tcsh 6.00.02
Pure C Compiler (Version Nov 24 1992)



Any help appreciated,
    
    Klaus

I'm working on it, but it has broken under the memory protection from MiNT
0.98 and above... now if only I had a symbolic debugger which could debug
grandchild processes :-)

Steve

PS. GDB is fun under MiNT... when you kill the process being debugged it
stops MiNT and reactivates the process which started MiNT... very nice!

That's, of course, not true. Everybody who's able to make it can use it,
also without Multi-AES. I, for one example, do so.

Your problem is probably that you've forgotten to comment out "-DMULTITOS" 
in the makefile. :-)

Can anyone tell me how to read in the BIOS boot sector paramter from a floppy
disk and how to access the value of it in C? I am having loads of trouble,
getting spurious data, or hang-ups!

Also, I have written a formatter which uses interleaving (factor 11) but
when i use Quikdex I get a performance drop to 48% from the usual 97%!!!
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance on both probs.
