Sb: #Dynacalc Help
|
|
Fm: Mike Fahy 74656,2340

To: All
|

|
|
I wonder if anyone here has ever been able to get The Tandy Coco
|
|
version of Dynacalc 1.00.00 to run on a non-Coco terminal. I
|
|
remember about 10 years ago I was able to run it on a Coco with
|
|
a Wordpak II in 80 columns, but since my son has ressurected the
|
|
Coco from the attic and we have set up a couple terminals (a
|
|
Radio Shack Model III and a 486 PC) neither one is able to run
|
|
Dynacalc. The opening Dynacalc screen on the terminals is an
|
|
endless stream of the Dynacalc opening screen without any
|
|
formatting and then the worksheet column and row headers come up
|
|
consectively followed bu a never ending stream of ASCII
|
|
characters.
|
|
|
|
I downloaded a couple patches from this forum, the VT100.TRM
|
|
file drops Dynacalc back to the OS9 prompt, it is for version
|
|
4.xx. I patched Dynacalc.Trm myself to provide the # of columns
|
|
and rows, add linefeeds, etc. but somewhere else in Dynacalc
|
|
there seems to be something to prevent it from running on ASCII
|
|
terminals or anything else we can emulate.
|
|
|
|
Any help would be greatly appreciated . .

Mike -
|
|
|
|
Stretching memory here, but I _think_ that the COCO versions were somewhat
|
|
'hardwired'... I used a generic Dynacalc on my Gimix, and had success using
|
|
VT-100, Wyse-50, and OS9 Coco's as terminals.

Mike,
|
|
|
|
Pete is right; the CoCo version of Dynacalc is hardwired for the CoCo display
|
|
and keyboard. I discovered this the hard way when I tried to invoke Dynacalc
|
|
from a script file and then pass commands to it. While this process is clearly
|
|
described in the generic Dynacalc OS9 manual, it doesn't work on the CoCo
|
|
version at all (which is a real shame).
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, I didn't have much success getting the generic version to
|
|
run on the CoCo, at least not using the keyboard and display. I didn't try it
|
|
with an external terminal. I suggest you might want to scrounge a generic
|
|
version and play with it; there must be some around (I've got one, but don't
|
|
really want to part with it).

any way that I can simply read the information straight off

The problem is that CoCo Pascal is the ISO standard and ISO does
|
|
not use the type STRING as does Turbo Pascal or THINK Pascal. The
|
|
STRING type is a addional data type instituded by some vendors. In
|
|
CoCo Pascal you have to declare a new type as an ARRAY OF CHAR.

First let me introduce myself, my name is Bill Wittman, Jr. Most of
|
|
you have seen me or met me at the CoCoFests over the past 5 years, working
|
|
in either the Interactive Media Systems or BlackHawk Enterprises booths.
|
|
Recently I have come up with an idea to keep the 6809/03 to 68xxx OSK
|
|
Community together.
|
|
|
|
Now I would like to introduce "The Community Source Catalog" to you.
|
|
I am collecting advertisements from magazine publishers and also software &
|
|
hardware products from vendors of the Color Computer,the MM/1, and even the
|
|
System IV & V.
|
|
|
|
Ad rates are $50 for the first page, (a page is a full 8 1/2" by 11"),
|
|
and $10 for each additional page. There is no extra cost for ad setup
|
|
unless your ad is that complex. Each ad will run for the two printings for
|
|
the spring/summer and winter/fall editions. Your ad may be changed at any
|
|
time, but it needs to be at least 1 month before set deadlines.
|
|
|
|
There is a subscription rate of $8.00 US for the two printings or
|
|
$5.00 US for one printing within a year. If you have an advertisement in
|
|
the catalog, you will recieve issues free for the term of your ad.
|
|
|
