Subject: Problems with lattice C file functions
Date: 9 Apr 92 15:13:41 GMT
Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation, E.C.H.O. development department


Hi netters,

I do have some problems with Lattice 5.x.x (last one!) when trying
to use the UNIX-compatible file functions for character reading.

I encountered this when reading MIDIFILE in my playback program,
which I uploaded recently.

I opened the file with fopen() - in raw/binary mode ofcourse.
Then I used the one character routine (I think it was fgetc()?)
to read byte-by-byte from the file.

I ran into the following problems:

I could read most files (even big ones) without a problem.
Just a few files went wrong for unknow reasons.

The file read routines just skipped a byte now and then.
They did it on the same spot every time again (when they did it).
I could find no specific pattern, neither could I generalise it.

It was not on sector bounds. Sometimes after a few KB, and then 
sometimes after a few bytes again. However, the same file went wrong
on the same place(s) everytime.

Does anybody has a clue?

Although I rewrote the file routines for playback by using the
specific atari routines (Fopen(), Fread() and alike), I am
worried on the above, as that means that I cannot trust those
UNIX compatible functions at all.

Thanks,

John

Last I checked, Kuma are still listing the Occam compiler, but the transputer

Subject: Re: Why are there NO GL-Viewers for the ST ???


There is one such program, as you may see in the posting i copied below.
Allthough it's not mentioned, there is also a version for the st and it works
fine. Besides a preview it does pixel (IMG) and PCL (Deskjet, Laserjet)
output.

Sorry, but the posting is in German, for those who won't understand, here's
a brief summary: Hp2xx is a hpgl to xx converter, where xx stands for:
img, preview, tex, pcl.You will find the adress for anonymous ftp in the
text below.

*** Original posting ***

Liebe Fans von hp2xx, dem HP-GL Konverter:

Es gibt - rechtzeitig zur Hamburger DANTE-Tagung -
ein neues Release, allerdings noch ohne aktualisierte
Dokumentation und noch im Beta-Stadium (was die neuen
Features betrifft).

Die neue Version ist gruendlich ueberarbeitet und enthaelt
etliche lang vermisste Eigenschaften. Dazu zaehlen u.a.:

        o Ein robuster Scanner (manche HPGL-Quellen machten
          frueher Aerger)

        o Kreise, Kreisboegen

        o Font-Unterstuetzung (nur Charset 0) !!!!
          (Ich habe mich ueberreden lassen, das von vielen
           vermisste LB-Kommando und was so dazugehoert einzubauen)

        o Seitenweise Bearbeitung von HP-GL Dateien, die
          mehrseitige Grafiken enthalten. (Kommando PG;)


Ferner experimentiere ich mit zwei neuen Ausgabe-Formaten, naemlich

        o -m em  (emTeX-specials zum Linienziehen)

        o -m tex (Linien mit \drawline aus dem epic-Style)

Damit duerften wohl die meisten Kompromisse zur Grafik-Einbindung
unter TeX durch hp2xx versorgt sein, und jede(r) kann nun selbst
entscheiden, welches Teil die Hauptlast der Grafiken tragen soll:
TeX selbst oder Metafont oder die dvi-Treiber - je nach Verfuegbarkeit.

Die neuen Features sind noch im Test, und ich lade alle Interessierten
ein, sich die aktuellen Binaries zu holen (s.u.) und mir noch
verbliebene Bugs zu melden. Die neuen Modi (tex, em)
sowie das Font-Handling enthalten sicher noch ein paar Ueberraschungen...


Die jeweils aktuellen beta-Versionen sind via ftp erhaeltlich auf:

        % ftp clio.rz.uni-duesseldorf.de (134.99.128.3)
        Username: anonymous
        Password: your_name
        ftp> cd hp2xx
        ftp> dir
        ftp> binary
        ftp> get ...
        ...

Wie bisher bereits gibt's dort Binaries fuer
        -- DOS
        -- Sun/SPARC
        -- Convex (C210)
        -- HP9000/3xx
Bitte wenn moeglich ausserhalb der normalen Dienstzeiten uebertragen;
der arme Hostrechner ist mit I/O schon reichlich belastet - danke!
.. (some stuff deleted) ...
So, das waer's. Hoffentlich sind nun die meisten HP-GL Dateien ohne
Probleme in TeX-Grafiken umsetzbar. Viel Vergnuegen mit hp2xx!

Dear Netters,

I'll have to settle for something using GDOS.  So does anyone

I don't beleive you could possibly blow away your ROM's by doing what you did.
I am a tech, so I'm not just guessing ( and I'm not infalable either :).
I would say your problem came not from hooking the disk up, but possibly
when you had the cable hooked up backwards.  If I remember right, you did say
in your first message that you tried both cable orientations, didn't you?
Now I have hooked up floppys up backwards on PC's with no ill effects, but
it could POSSIBLY cause trouble.  Not to the ROM's though.  Maybe to the
power supply, disk controller IC, and I think the sound chip (it's direct
connected to the disk in someway, isn't it?).   I don't have an ST schematic,
YET (believe me, I'll get one someday!) so I'm going by descriptions I've read
in the `ST Internals' book.  

OR - Perhaps you should recheck the way you re-connected the regular floppy.
Cable may be loose, etc.

Doug Plate

     This is a little off the subject, but, oh well! Have you even seen
the ST Book? I played with one in Chicago, and it was really nice. I
like it better than any DOS laptop/notebook. I can live with the fact of
no internal floppy, since it makes it a lot smaller.

   For the most part, the above is true.  However, I have one of the first
Mega 2's ever produced.  When I upgraded to TOS 1.4, I had to get a 6-chip
set because the very first Megas had 6 chip sets.  Unless your Mega 2 is
1988 or older, I would *strongly* advise opening it up to see if you do 
indeed have 2 or 6 chips in there.

Just a couple of questions I need confirmed about the SST
(I talked to Dave Small at ACE, but the 'flyer' about the SST doesn't make it
clear and seems to imply the opposite)..
Is the non-mega SST available? I have a 1040STFM..
ALSO, do I _NEED_ to have 4 megs in my ST before being able to add memory to
the SST? The flyer kept talking about adding memory to the existing 4M...
Finally, Is the Megatalk board REALLY important?
Can I add a CD-rom without one? 
Will a megatalk board run in the good old MEGA ST's (as opposed to STe's)?? 
I may have to pick up a used mega st soon if this is the case..

Thank you,

I made a utility that extracts the files from a .gl file.
They include pics and the text control files.  From this it should
be no problem to convert it to another format or make your own viewer.
I am currently working on a viewer but do not have much time to work on

Date: 10 Apr 92 11:53:56 GMT
Organization: Computing Services, Kingston Polytechnic


I have quite a collection of PD demos from various crews around Europe but have
a few problems with some screens.
The problem is with screens that have "no borders". This includes demos :
Punish your Machine, Rip-Dis, Transbeauce I + II, Cuddly Demos and a few
others. On the  Rip-Dis demo the first screen has writing about the demo except
it covers the whole screen. If my ST (TOS 1.09) has been left off for a few
hours and I load this demo up it comes out fine. Then about 10 secs later the
screen sarts to go wonky and completely distorts. The sound is still fine and I
can progress through the demo.
What I want to know is if anyone else has had these problems and did they find
a solution (or does anyone know a solution). To me it would seem as if some
chip gets too hot inside after a few seconds as it is fine after leaving it too
cool down.

Any suggestions,

Simon

Hey,

	What is TeX?  My impression is that it is a typesetter of some sort.
If this is the case, I would like to learn how to use it.  I downloaded some
things from the TeX directory at terminator, but there doesn't seem to be
anything explaining configuration, files necessary for use, etc., etc.  I
notice that there are two types of files referred to often, *.dvi and *.tex.
What is each of these?  I assume that they are text files with embedded 
formatting commands.  True?  If anyone can give me some hints, or better
yet, directions on how to set this up on my system, I would appreciate it.
(Then I could even print out the GCC-ST.TEX file I've been aching to have

I was at ACE '92 as well.

I thought it was funny that many people, after a few minutes worth of
conversation, would say something like: "I'm strictly under non-disclosure,
*but* I have seen Atari's new machine and it's great.  It has graphics,
sound, blah blah blah." 

I did see a TT running Unix though.  I logged in and poked around a bit.
They've got BSD (4.5?), X11, OSF, Motif, related software.  Some of those
terms mean little to me but the Atari guy rhymed them off.

The price ends up being something like $2500 for the Unix operating system,
a 130Meg 17ms access time HD.  This is on top of the price of a TT.  It was
hooked up to a 19 inch monochrome monitor.  I'm not sure if the big screen
was part of a deal or not.

He also said that they were not really pushing this or making big noises
because it was intended for their new machine (and then I got this line
again about being under non-disclosure, but a new fast machine exists and
it's great etc...).  

I'm not affiliated with anybody or anything, don't know anything more than
what's been posted so far.

I suggest that you get the CS-TeX package from atari.archive or one of the
other ftp servers.  This package comes with a very easy to use install 
utility that does almost everything for you.

It also comes with a GEM-based shell that is very user-friendly and can be used
without prior TeX experience.

And, for $180, you can buy a 1040ST with 1meg and Tos 1.0.

Why the GEMulator?

Speaking about Jukebox... for some reason I can't get it to work
 on my STE (2 megs RAM)... It loads the MOD okay, plays for 10 - 20
 seconds, then crashes with a horrible low pitch buzzing (like it's
 playing junk out of the computers RAM)

 Any ideas why??
