I'm rather fond of Avocet's line of cross-development tools but they are
a bit on the expensive side. There are some good ASM-language cross=
development tools on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil in the PD1:<MSDOS.CROSSASM>
directory. (Pseudo-SAM assemblers that is)

down, I will be using a lower end processor like the MC6800 (no, not

 Eric Isaacson's A86 _is_ a one-pass shareware assembler. I've tried
 version 3.22, and found it to be very MASM compatible (except for
 predictable problems with forward references).

 A86 doesn't provide *.LST output files.  The D86 debugger is handy
 for *.COM files, which CodeView v2.2 won't even touch.

I am a novice looking to learn ML.

I know of the following books on ML:

ML Primer
ML for the Working Programmer
Definition of Standard ML  (or something along these lines)
Commentary on the Definition

Are there others?

I would like comments the relative merits of all of the above. (Do any of the
other books make the Definition unnecessary?)

I am happy to get any amout of interesting commentary on the language,
but require a good reference and a good introduction to the idioms of
the language.

Note: I tend to favor very dense language texts. (I learned C++ from the ARM
--- I found it only the slightest bit too dense).

I don't have _good_ reference material for SML, so here goes:

If I am creating a module with a signature (see example), how can I  
effectively hide the declaration of a datatype referred to in the sig?   
I want to make file_contents_type "private," ala Ada.  Is this even  
possible?

Example (pseudo-SML source)
---------------------------

structure MyModule:
  sig
	(* How can I do the following in SML?
	   datatype file_contents_type is private
	*)

	datatype file =
	  emptyfile
	| opened of {
		     (*some other fields here*)
		     contents:file_contents_type
		    };

	(*some other things in the sig here*)
  end =

  struct
	(* definition of file_contents_type here *)

	(* rest of definitions *)
end;

Summary: good puzzler
Keywords: functor structure signature type sharing parameters
Organization: University of Illinois, Dept. of Comp. Sci., Urbana, IL
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 06:09:27 GMT

Suppose I have a signature

	signature S =
	sig
		eqtype i

		(* various declarations involving type i *)
	end

and wish to implement a functor

	functor F (s : S) =
	struct
		type j = (* representation for j *)

		(* various appearances of the things in s *)
	end

where I know that type s.i = type j ?

I can think of only one way, which I hate:

	signature RequiredArgToF =
	sig
		datatype j = USELESS_TAG of (* representation for j *)
	end

	functor F (structure s : S and t : RequiredArgToF
		   sharing type s.i = t.j) =
	struct
		local open t in
		type j = j

		(* various appearances of the things in s and *)
		(* lots of USELESS_TAGs *)
		end
	end

This solution requires me to move the type declarations needed in F outside
of F to be sent in as a required argument, and makes me stick tags all over
the place which I don't really need.  If it were possible
to pass F an argument of functor type ((sig eqtype i end) -> S), the result
would be beautiful.  But alas, that might complicate the modules system
type discipline too much.

Suggestions?

You're full of something. (: Just kidding, but he's talking about
running an outside program with the SHELL command, not linking
his C code into his Visual BASIC program.

That said, though, linking it in as a dynamic link library is
probably a better idea if you have the C source and can set
it up as such.

Unfortunately I'm not a VB hacker myself, so I'm afraid I can't

sorry, that I can't help You with this problem. I just want to
take the chance to ask another question about printing from 
Basic. 

Is it possible in BASICA or GWBASIC to dump the graphics-screen from a
program through a BAISC-function or anything else but the PRTSCRN-key  ??? 
In elder GWBASIC there was a function called LCOPY, which is not 
documented in the newest manuals. The statement is interpreted and 
leads to no visible result without causing a SYNTAX ERROR.
In BASICA I havn't heard of any dump-statement.

OK PROGRAMMERS. Here is my situation. Using QuickBASIC 4.5. I have one

work ok. After linking the .lib file with the main program and creating
an .exe file, it then chokes trying to do one of the sub functions. I

I think perl is a better tool for this job, but here it is in QuickBASIC:

OPEN "oldfile.dat" FOR INPUT AS #1 	'one field per line
OPEN "newfile.dat" FOR OUTPUT AS #2 	'one record per line (new)

DO
  LINE INPUT #1, Field$
  IF LTRIM$(Field$) = "" THEN
    PRINT #2, Record$
    Record$ = ""
  ELSE
    Record$ = Record$ + Field$
  END IF
LOOP UNTIL EOF(1)

IF Record$ <> "" THEN PRINT #2, Record$

CLOSE
END

  I just wrote this up off the top of my head, no testing, so it
probably needs to be debugged.  But it shows you the general idea.
Seems pretty simple, unless I missed some important detail.

All you have to do is load Graphics.com, and then have your program
do an INT 5. I used to have a 4 or 5 line BASICA program that would
create the required code in RAM and call it.

  This is a general BASIC group, but the PC people outnumber the Mac
people apparently.  FAQ postings should not be construed as setting
the guidelines or charter for a newsgroup.  A FAQ is simply a
collection of answers to Frequently Asked Questions, and I didn't
notice any frequently asked Mac questions when I wrote the FAQ.

  BTW, I will be posting the next version of the FAQ on July 28th or

Public Software Library has a shareware QuickBASIC program called MYED.BAS
that is the complete source code for a text editor.  I've looked it over, it's
a pretty good editor.  It's about 55k in size, though, if I remember right.

First - The answers:

In comp.sys.mac.programming, there has been some discussion of QuickBasic
for mac - the general attitude is one of comtempt - kind of disappionting.

There seem to be agreement also that Microsoft is probably not going
to improve it much (not real big news there...), and/or is abondoning it
outright.

However, Microsoft HAS released a small maintenance upgrade for Sys 7
compatability, and (supposidly) to fix a couple of bugs - but you have to
ask for it. They sent me mine for free (because I'm a new user), but one
guy said he had to pay ten bucks for it.

Now, the questions:

1. How do you recover/redraw a window after a screen saver (or mulitfinder/
system 7 window coverup)?

2. Is there a system call that returns if the monitor is color or B/W?

Thanks for the help..

I can't imagine it would be all that difficult to write such a thing.  If 
you've gone through the QCARDS.BAS excercises in the QuickBASIC manual you've 
already done a lot of the stuff you'll need for this project.

If anybody has the time or inclination to play with this I'm sure we would

Any takers?

Two possibilities occur to me quickly...
     1-   load you main module with the other two configured for inclusion
via the $INCLUDE metacommand.  See your manual or on-line help for the details 
on that.  From there you should be able to compile all together.

     2-   you may have just a little bit of sloppy programming.  This happened 
to me once and the way I got around it was to re-think my approach to the 
problem at hand and essentially re-write the module using better coding 
practices.  Even the best of us get sloppy so I'm not at all surprised to have 
problems.  I usually format most of my code as it hits the keyboard and debug 
as I go.  Risky as hell but it works for me!
