The DIM statement reserves variable space only as long as the particular
|
|
procedure is active. If you DIM WOOF:INTEGER in proc1 the storage will stay
|
|
around when you call proc2. However, in proc2 all the variables will disappear
|
|
after you return to proc1. This creates some problems (yes, you can work around
|
|
them) when a 'subroutine' like termcap i/o needs to initialize a bunch of stuff
|
|
early on and then access it later. What you typically do is to have the basic
|
|
startup code pass a variable where the stuff can be stored. Then you have to
|
|
pass that variable around to all the other procs so that if you need to call
|
|
the termcap stuff it will know where the data is. One other way around this is
|
|
to have the termcap functions save its stuff in a data module. I've been
|
|
thinking about this while raking leaves--might just give a go myself and see
|
|
what comes out. I think that if folks could access termcap from Basic you might
|
|
see more quickie utils, etc. written. The only thing I have to resolve in my
|
|
own mind is what output routine to use (should termcap assume stdout, or should
|
|
basic pass it a path, or perhaps have termcap call back to basic?? gotta rake
|
|
some more leaves for this one).
|
|
|
|
Hold on to your VED for a few more days. I'm sending out a letter (hopefully by
|
|
the end of next week) with a new upgrade announcement (1.3) as well as special
|
|
deal on a product. Don't know if the bug you mentioned is a version 1.0 thing
|
|
or termcap. If the cursor _actually_ goes back to the top of file then I
|
|
suspect a bug (even though it works fine here), if it just gets positioned
|
|
wrong I'd have a look at the termcap entry.

Yea your right. About the Termcap stuff, I added the 'sf' and the 'al' in
|
|
Termcap and every thing works fine now. I even have one line scroll now, Nice..
|
|
|
|
How hard would it be to write an interactive editor/compiler for 'C'
|
|
and Basic?? could interface directly to Umacs??

Scott, glad that the termcap stuff is working good now.
|
|
|
|
An interactive editor for C and Basic -- sounds like a tall order. And please,
|
|
don't use words like Umacs in messages to me <grin>. Actually, when I do basic
|
|
stuff I have Ved running in one window and basic in another. I use Ved to do
|
|
the editing and just keep re-loading the file from Basic. A bit tedious, but
|
|
much better than fooling with the Basic editor.
|
|
|
|
BTW, where have all the users on this forum gone? A real lack of messages the
|
|
last few days. Don't tell me I'm going to have to sign up on that other system
|
|
to keep informed...

Ved, thats right <grin>. Right now I am in the process of learning Ved. Since
|
|
keys are user definable, learning is pretty easy! What is nice about Ved is the
|
|
Ved_env.file so I can use REAL UP/DN keys on my IBM instead of the cntl chars.

Where did all the people go! Seems most of the activity is us!!. Kinda

Jim,
|
|
|
|
I've noticed something very weird on my friend's TC70 . IT has to do with the
|
|
output of the Procs command.
|
|
|
|
Used to be, on his QT ...(same version of OSK ... same procs) that the AGE of a
|
|
process was so dead on, you could set a clock by it's information.
|
|
|
|
With the TC70, it's so far off it's ridiculous. For instance, logging into his
|
|
system, one of the first things I do is issue a Procs command to see if he's
|
|
around.
|
|
|
|
The AGE of my procs process says it's anywhere from 9 minutes to 29 minutes
|
|
old. Likewise, my shell has aged along the same pace ... very strange.
|
|
|
|
Anything similar happening to you on your TC70?
|
|
|
|
And by the way .... what your set up like?
|
|
|
|

Hi Dick. Look in Library 9 (utils) for AR09.BIN (for 6809), or AR68.BIN (for
|
|
680x0). I believe there's also an AR.DOC file, or just yell up here for help.

Wow. Cross-lib searching is neat. I tried a:
|
|
|
|
sca/sho/lib:all ar*
|
|
|
|
And up pops all the files beginning with "ar" and where they're at. Neat.

While it was planned for the coco to know what (or if) an rgb monitor was
|
|
attached , via an input on the 9 pin connector, this wasnt implemented. It is
|
|
possible that the rgb loads the circuitry enuff to kill the color on the tv ,
|
|
but they are fed via 2 different sets of leads from the gime chip. I would
|
|
think the effects would be more than just color, but all I used was a mono
|
|
composite and the cm8.
