Can someone out there in the vast network send me a list of the 68000 codes and
what they do.  I just started in 68000 assembly (writing  a program that opens
a screen, a couple of windows and draws in then until you close both of the     window
windows)

You help would be helpfull

Hey, me too.  Since I installed my jumpered 2.04 ROM on my A2000 motherboard
I've been getting a lot of write errors on track 880 in DF0: and DF2:.  I
thought maybe my drives had died.  What's going on here?

Yes, a major flaw for reentrant programs (or shared libraries, in my case).
Callbacks should always be designed with a data pointer freely to use by the
application (see RawDoFmt()). It should not depend on the program using globals.

I have however found a solution, which consists in storing a pointer to my
data structure in tc_Userdata. I will test it. However it implies that
the XPR library does *not* uses tc_Userdata AND that the Task context is not changed.

Btw. Is there somewhere any real doc on callback interface (not the one that
describes the XPR standard from the user point of view). I found it really
annoying to figure how it worked by reading other's sources, or by reading
include files.

Many taglists, especially ones that are pushed on the stack by stub
functions that have varargs prototypes (Like OpenScreenTags for
OpenScreenTagList) DO NOT have an extra empty word after the
TAG_DONE.  If you overwrite the corresponding ti_Data field you will
clobber memory used for something else.

Well, it still does.  There are many editors which will interface with
command-line compilers, and Borland includes a command-line compiler.  
There are lots of people I know that use Brief with Borland C++.  Borland 
also lets you bind your keys how you like them (admittedly, its not 
straightforward, but it can be done).  At work we created a compiler 
that would take script files and generate code from them.  We could 
edit and compile our scripts from Borland's integrated environment
just like we could with C code.  There is a lot more power and flexibility
in Borland's integrated environment than meets the eye.

    I've got a program that runs from Workbench and uses ReqTools and

    I replace SIGKILL and SIGTERM with something like onbreak(). The
    SIGALRM is a lame (well, it is on the Unix machine I use) sort of

Well, I use vfork() to start the child-process in my bidirectional
file- and chat-tranfer protocol TWC, and since a few bugs have
been removed, this is no pain at all. The only problem I ran into
was that I cannot use static member objects of classes from
both the parent and the child process; it seems that something
is destructed twice when I try to do so... but this is easy to
avoid, and it's really nice to use vfork() and _exit() instead
of calling all that tricky system routines yourself.. :)

Because Open() and Close() is as good as fopen() and fclose(), but they use the

I bet you're using 37.90.  Get 37.111 (also v1.3) from Fish disk 659.
Then patch the executable (offset around 73382) changing the hex bytes
<< 72 0E 70 00 >> to << 72 00 70 0E >>.

Really weird.. some people seem to have nothing but problems with both,
ar and ranlib, and for some they work without any problems what soever
(I belong to the latter category;-)). Since I have my STACK by default
at 250k, I wouldn't notice if it were a stack-related problem. What default
stack do you use? The '30 is definitely *not* the problem, or my a3000 would
guru as well ;-)
