Lee,

|

Addendum to all said previously...
|
|
|
|
email allows you lots of access on Internet. There are several ftp (file
|
|
transfer protocol) sites that respond to email requests, the various internet
|
|
mailing lists, and such.
|
|
|
|
A good book that explains a lot of what's going on is THE WHOLE INTERNET USER'S
|
|
GUIDE AND CATALOG by Ed Krol.
|
|
|
|
It goes into a fair amount of detail on what you can do with email.
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of commercial Internet access companies in Dallas that
|
|
provide customers with a window on the net, too, if you want that info.

Can one of the wizards help me out? I have some code which sort of looks like:
|
|
|
|
#define KEYS 26
|
|
int (*indexes)[KEYS2];
|
|
char *p;
|
|
foo()
|
|
{
|
|
.... assign p to an offset into a memory module ...
|
|
.... now set the indexes array pointer ....
|
|
indexes=p;
|
|
....
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
I need to cast p to the type of indexes. Nothing I try seems to work. I thought
|
|
that "indexes=(int**)p" would work...
|
|
|
|
Someone got the answer?

Bob -

|
|
Hmm.. lessee..
|
|
|
|
First, I'll assume that the reference to KEYS2 was a typo. Next, it appears
|
|
that you are declaring an array of pointers to a type 'int'. This array is KEYS
|
|
(26) elements long.
|
|
|
|
Now - in assigning 'indexes=p', you have told the compiler that you want
|
|
&indexes[0] = p. In other words, you have established 'p' as being the base
|
|
address of the array. If this is really what you want to do (?,?). Now since
|
|
&indexes[0] should probably only be an RVAL (something to be taken the value
|
|
of; not something to be assigned), I'm not sure the compiler will let you
|
|
assign a value, regardless of how you cast it. You may have to set up yet
|
|
another pointer to the array, or just set it up as a pointer to an int, i.e.:
|
|
|
|
int *intpointer;
|
|
|
|
Then could still reference array type stuff by using syntax like intpointer+1,
|
|
intpointer+offset, etc. Because the compiler knows how long an int is, this is
|
|
exactly like using array references anyway. The only catch is that you will
|
|
have to becareful about the 'subscript' (offset), as the compiler will pretty
|
|
much let you do what you want.

Thanks for the help, Pete. I got some help from the CDECL program (in the TOP
|
|
library). After I finally got it to compile I had it figure out things for me.
|
|
Here's the scoop:
|
|
|
|
1. I have an array "int indexes[KEYS1][KEYS2]" which holds a bunch of
|
|
offsets into a database.
|
|
|
|
2. These are stored in a datamod which I load into memory when needed.
|
|
|
|
3. My program links to the datamod. So it needs two things. First a
|
|
it needs a variable indexes which can be used to access the database.
|
|
|
|
int (*indexes)[KEYS2];
|
|
|
|
works fine. I can now do things like t=indexes[a][b]...
|
|
|
|
The problem comes in transfering the address of the index in the datamod
|
|
to the variable indexes. First off, we have to link to the
|
|
module. So we make a declaration and create a variable to store the
|
|
address of data mod:
|
|
|
|
Smod *module, *modlink();
|
|
|
|
After a successful link, I want to set 'indexes' to predetermined offset
|
|
into the module. Here is the proper way:
|
|
|
|
indexes=(int(*)[KEYS2])(module+xoffset);
|
|
|
|
This casts the type of 'module' to that of 'index'.
|
|
|
|
On the other question...yes, I was afraid that I couldn't get those sizes at
|
|
compile time easily. Resorting to asm for this is probably not worth the
|
|
bother...I'll just use strlen() dynamically.

Pete,
|
|
|
|
The CDECL program is a magic aid to figuring out complex C declarations. Some
|
|
sample input:
|
|
|
|
declare foo as pointer to function returning pointer to int
|
|
explain char *(*woof)()
|
|
cast yy into pointer to array 44 of int
|
|
|
|
returns the lines:
|
|
|
|
int *(*foo)()
|
|
declare woof as pointer to function returning pointer to char
|
|
(int (*)[44])yy
|
|
|
|
The history of this program is UNIX. I got it out of the TOP library. Not sure
|
|
which volume (I've repacked mine onto 1.44meg disks). It comes in source and
|
|
you'll need flex and bison to complile it. I had to change the flex parser to
|
|
use readln() instead of read() to get the interactive mode to work...otherwise
|
|
(if you ignore the compile warnings <g>) all works fine. Very useful for the
|
|
strange declarations needed from time to time.

The declaration int (*indexes)[26] is different than int *indexes[26]. The
|
|
latter making indexes an array of 26 pointers pointing to 26 integers. The
|
|
first is a pointer pointing to an array of 26 integers. It is explained more
|
|
clearly like this: indexes[][26]. So it really is a form of a
|
|
multi-dimensional array. You would access the array like this:
|
|
|
|
var = indexes[i] which is the same as var = &indexes[0][i]
|
|
|
|
So I don't think you can assign a value to indexes since it really isn't a
|
|
pointer. You could do something like int *idx = &indexes and then assign a
|
|
value to idx. Play around with that and see what happens.
|
|
|
|
I had to look around for an answer to this one. Found it in my Plum Hall book
|
|
"Reliable Data Structures in C".

Here's another C question:
|
|
|
|
I have an array of pointer to char declared in my program. Let's say it look
|
|
like:
|
|
|
|
char *items[]={"one","two","three"};
|
|
|
|
Is it possible to determine the lengths of the strings at compile time? I'd
|
|
like to be able to do something like:
|
|
|
|
int len1=sizeof(items[0]);
|
|
|
|
But that sets len1 to the size of the pointer (4), not the length of the string
|
|
(3). Do I have to go through with strlen() for the whole list or is there a
|
|
compile time method?

Bob -

|
|
Short of going into assembler (see below), I don't know of a compile time
|
|
method. As you surmise, the sizeof will get you the size of the pointer.
|
|
|
|
Assembly style would be something like this:
|
|
|
|
string fcc "Holy cow"
|
|
fcb $0d strlen set .-string
|
|
|
|
You could probably bracket them with #asm and #endasm and include it in your C
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
You could get an idea by using the CC options to go to assembler with source
|
|
embedded as comments. Then, edit the assembly source to include the 'len set
|
|
.-string_start' stuff.
|
|
|
|
Pete
|
|
|
|
P.S. Make the '.'s '*''s

I'd say you need to use strlen() or, since you know that size of each item in
|
|
the array, make another array that holds the size of each element, or make your
|
|
items[] array two-dimensional and hard code the sizes in there. Not very
|
|
elegant, but the compiler has no way of knowing what the sizes of the elements
|
|
are since you explicitly told it they were pointer items.

Hi Pete--I cant get the hard drive to format properly. I either get a 214 when
|
|
I try to access it or if I change inittbl I can do a dir and get an empty
|
|
directory of root which at first seems fine. Then if I copy a file to root, the
|
|
file name shows when I do a dump but doesn't with a dir. If I do a makdir CMDS,
|
|
I get a directory called CMDC every time and if Ido a dir of CMDC I get a 214.
|
|
If I do another makdir CMDS I will now have two CMDC directories.

Frankly Phil, I haven't got a clue initially. Sounds like it could be:
|
|
|
|
a) Crummy driver b) Flakey interface c) Hardware failure
|
|
|
|
Just for the sake of interest, the difference between the CMDS and CMDC is the
|
|
last character (or course), where S = 53 hex and C = 43 hex: a 1 bit
|
|
difference. Also, the last character of the name is supposed to have the HIGH
|
|
bit set (43 + 80 = C3 or 53 + 80 = D3).. just curious: is the high bit set?
|
|
|
|
Lastly, is the device descriptor INIZed (i.e. iniz /H0) before you start
|
|
messing with it?

Hi .. I've been reaaal bizzee .. got my ST back just last week, should be
|
|
up-to-snuff now. ICD has a version 6.0.6 of their drivers, it's getting to be
|
|
awfully solid .. B&B should consider cache functions in their drivers.
|
|
|
|
I spent all my bonus money on getting the ST & cars fixed up, so no "true
|
|
color" card for the ST despite me already having a multisync monitor working in
|
|
all resolutions (even works on the CoCo3 :) . However, next payday if I can
|
|
keep away from the "holiday spirit" (i.e. fingers outa my wallet), I *should*
|
|
be able to order Cumana's pkg next month. So I'm still definitely interested
|
|
in any feedback ya get. The guy on Delphi who actually bought the Cumana thing
|
|
is typing some details about it. I think there *is* some SCSI support in there
|
|
after all, but absolutely no graphics :( it seems. But I'm more than willing
|
|
to help work on such drivers for the ST and I do wanna get it standardized (not
|
|
nec'ly CoCo3 standards but future ones like ANSI/OSI/ X-Open/whatever is
|
|
happenin' with Un*x, then we'd have some fun stuff to port as end-user
|
|
applications too .. i.e. why re-invent the wheel?).
|
|
|
|
Oh well thank you for the time and I *do* appreciate it! -- thx, Paul S.

I didn't get much feedback from usenet on the Cumana port (probably bad
|
|
timing). Someone did say there was a port of the MGR windowing system to it,
|
|
but didn't say who sold it. (It was part of something called System Pak I).
|
|

Keep us posted as to what you find out from the other guy, tho!

|

To: All
|
|
|
|
I recently talked to Mike Smith of Hazelwood Computers regarding a port of OSK
|
|
2.4 to the 20x board. He would like some sort of indication of how much
|
|
interest there is in such a port.
|
|
|
|
I, for one, want to see OSK V2.4 ported to the 20x so we can run Ultra-C and
|
|
the Source Code Management system on our 20x at work.
|
|
|
|
Mike said that the cost for the update would be $200.00 for the 20x. There is
|
|
also a promotional price for Ultra-C.
|
|
|
|
Please repond to me via E-Mail if you would like OSK V2.4 ported to the HCS 20x
|
|
and I'll pass the number of responses on to Mike.
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have a commented listing of the CoCo 1 BASIC ROM disassembly, or a

copy of Color BASIC Unravelled that they would part with reasonably? I've been
|
|
playing with the DLOAD command (it DOES work, but only for ASCII BASIC files)
|
|
and need to know what the ROM REALLY does - the Tandy docs are not totally
|
|
correct (off by a value of one is still to far off to work!). Thanks.

TITLE: Looking for DVI to BJ300/330 converter I have a Canon Bubble Jet printer

(BJ-330) and would like to use TeX. This printer emulates either an IBM XL224E

or an Epson LQ-1050 24-pin printers (these are the wide carriage versions - the
|
|
same escape sequences apply to the IBM X24E and Epson LQ-850, which are the
|
|
narrow carriage printers). I know there exists a DVI24PIN for MS-DOS (I even
|
|
know where I can get the
|
|
EXE file). The problem is - I don't run MS-DOS. I run OS-9/68000 on my
|
|
68030-based Force CPU30 system. I need *source* code (in C). Does anyone have
|
|
this code. Last time I looked, Channel-1 only had the executable.

Sure, I'll upload it for you. This is the simple one I did a few years ago

On a recent trip to Ft. Worth (check out new grandson), I wandered in to the
|
|
Tandy Mall and the warehouse outlet and got a 40 meg Quantum SCSI for $149.
|
|
Seems the 40 and 202 meg SCSI drives for the 3000/4000 computers are being
|
|
closed out. Back home now, I checked at the local (Saginaw MI) computer center
|
|
and they had a 40 too. The 40 is $149 and the 202 (if you find one) is $299.
|
|
The 40 meg drive I found in Ft Worth is now running in my MM/1 -- its fast too.
|
|
(Good hunting).

Well, there's always 'groff' (GNU roff), iffn you want to port it. Otherwise,

it's'mroff'.

I guess you could write a macro set for mroff to emulate the -man man macros...
