AFL Dyfet Hello Jim!
|
||
|
|
HazelH1 Hi guys
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons (No parentheses needed, Joe. :-)
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS You guys should have seen Mr. Luther today reconstructing our
|
||
|
|
offices like a real pro...
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Hi Jim!
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet Oh my...
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons <sniff> _My_ TNs haven't arrived....
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ...makes me wonder if maybe he missed his calling (or at least one
|
||
|
|
of them).
|
||
|
|
JSchober Yeah, but aesthetics, Dave. :) BTW, I sent a mild nasty-gram on
|
||
|
|
info-apple
|
||
|
|
JSchober about your comment that I don't like ShareWare. :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim :P Matt
|
||
|
|
AFL Marty Hi Jim
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons (If you want aestehtics, use "true" instead of "1=1" :-)
|
||
|
|
AFL Marty [[[Hazel]]]
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS (Did you get that done, anyway? Did you pile all the garbage in
|
||
|
|
Dave's office like we said?)
|
||
|
|
HazelH1 HI Marty :)
|
||
|
|
JSchober LOL... hey, good point, Dave! Forgot THAT... (not like I use it
|
||
|
|
often or
|
||
|
|
JSchober anything...)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Dave, I'm still giving passing out constant reminders that we need
|
||
|
|
the March
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Tech Notes in text files.
|
||
|
|
JSchober Hi Bill...
|
||
|
|
Lombar I've never been in here before, what's the etiquette like?
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons What's this...do I have an office?
|
||
|
|
BillP Hi Joe
|
||
|
|
HazelH1 Howdy Bill!
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS They still have to be converted by hand, and they just haven't
|
||
|
|
been done yet. <shrugging>
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Welcome, Lombar.
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS Dave: Yeah, but you don't wanna go in it yet... <evil grin>
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons What etiquette? :)
|
||
|
|
BillP Hi Hazel! Been a long time!
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet Welcome aboard Lombar...
|
||
|
|
AFL Marty Down the hall Dave.... to the left.... tile walls, tile floor :)
|
||
|
|
Lombar Thanx.
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Well, let's get started here...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS or there...
|
||
|
|
AFA John Hi Hazel!
|

|
|
Dave Lyons :)
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS (Sorry - I'm in /behave mode now...)
|
||
|
|
Lombar :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Welcome to the Apple II Development Forum! Tonight, our topic is
|
||
|
|
programming
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim utilities and programming environments. We'll follow forum
|
||
|
|
protocol, so if you
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim have a question, type a question mark on a line by itself. If you
|
||
|
|
have a
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim comment on the current topic, type an exclamation point on a line
|
||
|
|
by itself.
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim We'll keep track of who asked to speak first and call on you when
|
||
|
|
it's your
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim turn.
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude ?
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS [I hate software]
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim To start off with, I'd like to introduce my replacement here on
|
||
|
|
AppleLink (yes
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim I'm leaving the ranks of AFLs). Starting in April, the new Forum
|
||
|
|
Leader will
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim be Dave Sugar!
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Welcome, Dave!!
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS <fanfare and tocatta>
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Say Hi, Dave.
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude Hi, Dave.
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet Thank you! I hope to keep things smooth during the change...
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons Hi, Dave.
|
||
|
|
JSchober Hi, Dave! (Dave L, stop talking to yourself...)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet Dave's recursive
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude What's Dyfet mean? (not my question :)
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS If you need anything from DTS, be sure to ask us so we can ignore
|
||
|
|
you as equally as we did Jim. <grin>
|
||
|
|
JSchober heheh
|
||
|
|
AFL Marty (recursive = swears repeatedly)
|
||
|
|
BillP :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet Older form of David....so I wouldn't get confused with a certain
|
||
|
|
other Dave :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim I'll be here still, but in an unofficial capacity.
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude unofficial capacitance is the best.
|
||
|
|
BillP me too :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim You mean MacDave, Dave??
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet MacDave! :) Another one!
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS I can see how "AFL Sugar" might lead to some weird E-mail, that's
|
||
|
|
true.
|
||
|
|
JSchober LOL Matt...
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Let's get on to the questions... Parik, I believe you are first in
|
||
|
|
the queue.
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet :)
|
||
|
|
Lombar I hate to sound impatient, especially for a newcomer, but my VISA
|
||
|
|
doesn't
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude In the AUT forum, in INITs library a file that "speeds up text
|
||
|
|
output by alot.
|
||
|
|
Lombar stretch very far...
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J (Looks like Matt has a bug in his "behave mode" :)
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude Has anyone used this? Is it a RAM driver? Just got it today, and
|
||
|
|
wondering
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude what it does. I think Orca was fassst...
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude think = thought (but I still think) ga
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim I haven't seen it. Anyone else?
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS !
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Matt
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS No.
|
||
|
|
JSchober ! (shuffling up as AUT rep...)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Joe
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS It could be an INIT that speeds up QuickDraw text drawing, not
|
||
|
|
actual text screen I/O...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ...but I think I'll let Joe talk. GA
|
||
|
|
JSchober It patches into the Pascal text-screen (80 col... well, I guess 40
|
||
|
|
col, too,
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik (Joe)
|
||
|
|
JSchober if you wanted) Text Toolset. I don't know WHAT it does to that
|
||
|
|
toolset, but
|
||
|
|
JSchober anything that uses Text Tools on a Pascal driver goes like greased
|
||
|
|
lightning.
|
||
|
|
JSchober ORCA and APW seem to have the best improvements. I haven't
|
||
|
|
noticed any
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS I can *guess*...
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet !
|
||
|
|
JSchober compatibility problems or anything like that. GA...
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Dave, GA
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik (Dave)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet How does it compare to the GS/OS console driver?
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim (Matt, you can type an !, too)
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons !
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ! (Oh, I thought my last ! was still active. My mistake)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Joe, comparison??
|
||
|
|
JSchober It's faster, Dave. It's REAAAL fast. Short bugger (4 blks),
|
||
|
|
too.
|
||
|
|
JSchober <that's unofficial, BTW, I can time it if you really want...>
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik (Dave L, Matt)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Dave Lyons, GA
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim (and I think I'll start using Dyfet :)
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons We're talking about Paul Elseth's FASTEXT init, right?
|
||
|
|
JSchober (just type "Dyfet" 20 times fast...)
|
||
|
|
JSchober Righto, Dave.
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons If you wanna know what it does...it replaces a few functions in
|
||
|
|
the Text Tools:
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons specifically
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons Just a sec:
|

AFP Draco Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet

Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet Dyfet

||
|
|
JSchober (that was 16 times and slow... ;)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet !
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS We now return to our program.
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons Geez...printer jammed. Anyway, it replaces WriteCString and
|
||
|
|
WriteString,
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons mostly, and it checks for the special case of printing to slot 3
|
||
|
|
with no
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons the firmware separately for each character. I keep it installed
|
||
|
|
all the time--
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Ooops
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons speeds things up a lot. (done)
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude ? (another question)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Matt, GA
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik (Matt, Dyfet)
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q + Parik
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS Since the Text Tools are mainly an arbiter, they pass everything
|
||
|
|
along to the firmware, when some...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ...of the stuff might be doable a little faster, as this init
|
||
|
|
shows. The speed increase is quite...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ...nice, but we still recommend that programmers use the Console
|
||
|
|
driver because it's not...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ...slot dependent. (See GS/OS TN #4 for more details, I think.)
|
||
|
|
GA.

||
|
|
AFL Jim Dyfet, GA
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik (Dyfet), Parik
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet It seems DL and Matt just answered both parts of my
|
||
|
|
question/statement! GA
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude Has anyone here actually GOT Merlin 16+? I'm looking for
|
||
|
|
something that is
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS Ha! We got him! Hazing has begun!
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude like Orca/M but a faster assembler & linker... ga
|
||
|
|
DennisDoms !
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Somebody?? Anybody? GA Dennis
|
||
|
|
Lombar ?
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude (don't say "No" again Matt... :)
|
||
|
|
DennisDoms `I've got it; I wouldn't claim to know it well yet.
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons !
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik (Dennis, Dave), Lombar
|
||
|
|
DennisDoms It does have provisions for importing ORCA files (HodgePodge is
|
||
|
|
used...
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Done Dennis??
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim oops
|
||
|
|
DennisDoms as an example of a conversion).
|
||
|
|
DennisDoms GA (Done...typing "blind" :).
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons I've got it too, but haven't used it a lot. If you're looking for
|
||
|
|
something a
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Dave
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons _little_ bit faster, Merlin 16+ is not what you want. It's a LOT
|
||
|
|
faster. :)
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude :)
|
||
|
|
JSchober heheh
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons (Whoops...you didn't even say "a little." There I go making a
|
||
|
|
minimal amount
|
||
|
|
Parik Dude thanks, GA
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons of sense again...oh, well.) done.
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim How's linking to other languages?
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons !
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Dave
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons It can be done, but it's an extra step, I think--normally it
|
||
|
|
doesn't generate
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons OMF files, but it's an option.
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons (done)
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Parik (Dave), Lombar
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA with your question, Lombar
|
||
|
|
Lombar I've just ordered ORCA/M. I like the reviews on the ORCA
|
||
|
|
products, but admit
|
||
|
|
Lombar ignorance.....
|
||
|
|
Lombar I want one shell to eventually do everything. Can I add, say, the
|
||
|
|
Merlin
|
||
|
|
AFP Draco ?
|
||
|
|
Lombar assembler to the ORCA shell and use the ORCA pascal?
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS !
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Lombar (Matt), Kent
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim I don't think you can add Merlin to the APW or ORCA environment
|
||
|
|
unless Glen
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Bredon has really changed him design :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Matt
|
||
|
|
Lombar It's been four years since I did any compiler-type programming....
|
||
|
|
DONE
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Him = His
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS Merlin is one of the three IIgs compilers or assemblers you can
|
||
|
|
NOT add to the ORCA shell...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS (the other two being MPW IIgs Assembler and MPW IIgs C :-)
|
||
|
|
However, you have the concept right...
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J :)
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ...in that multiple languages may be added to ORCA or APW and all
|
||
|
|
used under one shell. It's just...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ...that Merlin is not available in a version that runs under the
|
||
|
|
ORCA/APW shell. It has it's own.
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS GA.
|
||
|
|
Lombar ?
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Lombar
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Lombar, Kent
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim (you still have the floor)
|
||
|
|
Lombar Is it best to use all one brand of product line, or is it fairly
|
||
|
|
safe to
|
||
|
|
Lombar mix and match without worrying about compatabilities?
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim You're fairly safe mixing one high level language with assembly,
|
||
|
|
but you
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim may run into some problems if you try to mix two high level
|
||
|
|
languages such as
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Pascal and C (or for that matter, ORCA Pascal and TML Pascal).
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA
|
||
|
|
Lombar I thought that according to what I read about the TML/ORCA shells,
|
||
|
|
you could
|
||
|
|
Lombar mix and match C, Pascal, and Assy. without any problems. Anyone
|
||
|
|
have exper-
|
||
|
|
Lombar ience with this?
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim You can, but....
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim The high level languages all use slightly different ways of
|
||
|
|
passing parameters
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim and may depend on certain global routines and variables to be
|
||
|
|
present at run-
|
||
|
|
Lombar Okay, I get it. I'll just forge ahead and stick with one brand of
|
||
|
|
environ.
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim time. You have to really know what the languages are doing at a
|
||
|
|
fairly low
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim level to make them talk to each other.
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS !
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Lombar (Matt), Kent
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim assembly is the common denominator.
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Matt
|
||
|
|
Lombar I'm done for now. Thanks.
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS For this purpose, you can consider APW and ORCA to be the "same
|
||
|
|
environment"; to wit:
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS You can use APW C or the "APW version" of TML Pascal with the ORCA
|
||
|
|
system with no problems. GA.
|
||
|
|
Lombar One more question...
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Kent, GA with your question...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS (uh-oh. Question contention)
|
||
|
|
AFP Draco no let him have it
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim OK, GA Lombar
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Lombar, Kent
|
||
|
|
Lombar I only have 512K :(. Are there any pascal compilers I can use
|
||
|
|
besides Apple's
|
||
|
|
Lombar I want to stick with a desktop environ
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet !
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J !
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Lombar (Dyfet), Kent
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Nope, TML requires 768K and ORCA requires a Meg I think.
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Dyfet
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet I would suggest TML, which has a full desktop environment, but, as
|
||
|
|
mentioned,
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet it requires 768K...GA
|
||
|
|
Lombar OK. GA Kent.
|
||
|
|
AFP Draco Thanks... I wanted to change to subject a little.
|
||
|
|
AFP Draco Dyfet (Dave): What's the latest word on COMMAND.COM? When (if
|
||
|
|
ever) will we see an upgrade?
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet !
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim GA Dyfet
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J Q = Kent (Dyfet)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet No, I didn't bribe Kent for that question :). Well, we have taken
|
||
|
|
Command.COM
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet back from PinPoint, and we will be re-releasing Command.COM
|
||
|
|
'release II', with
|
||
|
|
AFP Draco I LOVE Command.COM, that's why I asked.
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet all the goodies we have and with Xterm 2.0 as a complete package.
|
||
|
|
For those
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS ! ("We" = ?)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet unclear as to what Command.COM is, it is a programmable shell
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet communications environment for ProDOS 8 with MANY features and
|
||
|
|
over 200 command
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet programs. (done...I think...:)
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Dyfet, WE = ??
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet Oh, sorry, that would be WE as in HyperDyne Software...
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim Dave, would you like to tell us what else HyperDyne is up to?
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim (giving you this las chance to soapbox it before you do it and
|
||
|
|
look like a
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet Sure. HDS is putting out Bbasic // for the Apple // (ProDOS 8
|
||
|
|
based) also, and
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim self promoter :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Marty (BBasic???)
|
||
|
|
JSchober <Blankenship BASIC, Applesoft with a kick... it's great!> <===
|
||
|
|
unbiased, too!
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet we will have a number of surprises (GS specific) by the end of the
|
||
|
|
year. HDS
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim HDS = Hyper Dave Sugar
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet also has an add-on toolkit for Command.COM. Bbasic // is an
|
||
|
|
enhanced Basic
|
||
|
|
AFP Draco Dave - will you be posting some of your COM files soon?
|
||
|
|
AFL Marty (must be too much sugar in his diet :)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet programming environment. It's fully structured, has better disk
|
||
|
|
and graphics
|
||
|
|
AFP Draco (( Despite rumors to the contrary, Sugar Daddy is NOT dave's
|
||
|
|
father! ))
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J heheh
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet support, and in many ways extends Applesoft into a very useful
|
||
|

DwightW1 how does bbasic compare with tml basic?
|

|
|
AFL Dyfet In regards to COM programs (in regards to Kent's comment), most

|

|
|
JSchober I figure Dave could use outside comments. ;) BBasic sits there
|
||
|
|
and pretends
|
||
|
|
JSchober it's Applesoft -- until you start programming, you can't tell it's
|
||
|
|
not. But
|
||
|
|
JSchober it offers all sorts of commands -- kinda like the GS toolbox in
|
||
|
|
BASIC; that's
|
||
|
|
JSchober the best way I can think of to describe it. (Although, unless I
|
||
|
|
really missed
|
||
|
|
JSchober something, it does =not= support the GS specially; it's 128K //e c
|
||
|
|
GS...) GA!
|
||
|
|
JSchober :)
|

|

AFL Jim Dwight, does that explain thing OK?

AFL Dyfet (and another starving programmer gets supper tonight)

|
Dave Lyons fifteen bucks. If you're in a hurry, download it from ADV or AUT,
|
||
|
|
but you'll
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons get a disk in any case when I get your bucks.
|
||
|
|
DwightW1 I have no doubt you have put much effort into the production of
|
||
|
|
your .....
|
||
|
|
AFL Jim or dollars as they're known outside of North Liberty...
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons (And if you already had Nifty List installed, you could do a
|
||
|
|
screen dump now
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons instead of writing down that address. :-)
|

|
|
AFA Gary J :)
|

|
DwightW1 thanks dave
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS (if he already had Nifty List, he wouldn't need to see the address
|
||
|
|
on-line)
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons (That's true, too.)
|
||
|
|
AFA Gary J He'll have to change the address, now - to California
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons (Matt thinks Nifty List's user interface is the most user-friendly
|
||
|
|
one in the
|
||
|

Dave Lyons Whole World, by the way. :)
|

|

DaviesDoug he should know

AFL Marty (the hour's up) :)
|

|
|
Matt DTS DTS Jacuzzi? Where?
|
||
|
|
JSchober That's true, anyone who would want to use NiftyList would probably
|
||
|
|
be able to
|
||
|
|
JSchober deref a handle...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS I keep asking for one and Rilla keeps saying "Maybe"...
|
||
|
|
AFL Marty Rilla should learn to share.
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS (we have a sink with a vortex under a hot water tap; does that
|
||
|
|
count?)
|
||
|
|
AFL Dyfet (does Dave now become Dave DTS?)
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons The jacuzi is where you throw the old GS batteries once they start
|
||
|
|
leaking,
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons right?
|
||
|
|
JSchober ugh...
|
||
|
|
Matt DTS Sure. Then YOU go sit in it.
|
||
|
|
Dave Lyons Beats me...I may keep my current screen name if that doesn't
|
||
|
|
bother anybody
|
||
|
|
AFL Marty only when occupied :)
|

AFA Gary J That would certainly stir things up! :)

Dave Lyons (That way you don't even need to swirl or heat the water w/
|
||
|
|
outside forces.)
|

|

JSchober <=== going to die of pun attack in another few seconds... LOL
|
