Hi, I installed Amiga in a Box on a laptop and I am trying to get MBasic to work on it. I had gcc but it gave me some undefined references. I am installing...
See http://function-pointer.org or download http://www.newty.de/fpt/zip/e_fpt.pdf for details. It tells how the syntax for function pointers varies from...
Hi, I lost the link to the site with the info on the Amos file structure. Does anybody still have the link? Patrick [Non-text portions of this message have...
... The size of the source is smaller when saved in a tokenized state. Also the interpreter parses the source more quickly if it is tokenized. For the...
Hi, Thanks for the info. If you have the fold/unfold part of a procedure, when you save the file it is unfold? I mean if you could look at an amos file you ...
... procedure, when ... file you ... walls when ... Folding is just a feature of the editor to hide procedures that you're not editing so that it won't take as...
Hi, On saturday I became a member but I still have not recieved that so important activation e-mail. Mike? Patrick [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hi, I cannot find anything on Intuition windows and text. How to display text from a file in it. Type text in a window and save it. Or should I just move on to...
A text window is called a console window and is available using the CON: device under dos.library. If you must display a text file in a GUI I'd recommend...
Hi, Thanks. Just the answer I was waiting for. With the datatype system I would be able to only display text, right? The idea for me is to display text but ...
Hi, I was working with the RKM's and when I want to create a message block for device I/O it is saying: ConsIO = CreateExtIO(bla bla...); (to delete it it is...
Sorry, no new MBasic stuff. Actually I am thinking about keeping MBasic seperate from the AMOS Factory for now at least. What do you think? Should the AMOS...
Patrick, Yes, this should be true. I believe that CreateExtIO() and DeleteExtIO() are amiga.lib helper functions which have strict requirements on the size of...
Hi Mike, I got it myself already. I use CreateIORequest and DeleteIORequest. This weekend I made some good progress on my stuff. Damn that feels good. :-) I am...
I am playing a bit with the console part of the Amiga. I want to put text in a window etc. The thing is that my program always crashes after I close the...
Whenever I used the console.device in the past I always just opened it and started writing to it and reading from it. I never did anything special with the...
Any ideas on how to implement GOSUB in C? It's fairly easy in assembly, just push the instruction pointer onto the stack and jump to the new address, then on...
Hi Mike, Ah something to puzzle on. If you have an idea can you drop the code here? I mean an example in C on how you would do it. In the meantime I will give ...
Anything other than a simple goto with a label will require that the code be converted to use a proc instead of a label. On n goto will also be impossible...
Sam, I believe you are correct. There is no way to do a true GOSUB implementation in C. Subroutines must be functions. Although about ON n GOTO I think this...
... Crap! This will require me rewriting the expression processing routines because the negative is a unary operator and must be placed before the expression,...
Hello Michael ... with several GOTOs Maybe that could be done with function pointers aswell? I'm not sure if pointer table could be used as function...
No. I am afraid that would require the typecasting of labels as functions which is illegal under C. On n proc will work but on n goto will not work as array...
