A Classic Theater
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
From High Above The Rock River, off in the distance we can see the
|
|
classic Coronado Theater. It was built in 1927 as an "atmospheric" movie
|
|
theater. An elaborate organ console finished in a beautiful ivory color
|
|
comes up out of the floor near the stage when the organ is needed. The
|
|
walls are decorated with detailed painting of molded plaster designs.
|
|
Surrounding the balcony are the shapes and lights of a nighttime view of a
|
|
Persian village. The ceiling is made of dark blue velvet with a multitude
|
|
of small blinking lights (twinkling stars). Projection of slowly moving
|
|
clouds across the ceiling completes the illusion of being outdoors on a
|
|
delightful evening.
|
|
|
|
This theater was owned by a series of theater companies over the
|
|
years. It was donated to the city several years ago. Slowly it was
|
|
falling into a state of disrepair. There were those who advocated tearing
|
|
it down. But there was this couple who had the vision and leadership
|
|
ability to muster a campaign to raise the money needed to refurbish this
|
|
beautiful theater. Two years ago it reopened with great fanfare. It now
|
|
serves as a place to present symphonies, rock concerts, broadway plays...
|
|
even old silent movies accompanied by that great organ.
|
|
|
|
Classic A2
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Over the years the message boards and file collections at GEnie A2 and
|
|
A2 Pro, followed by Delphi A2 and A2 Pro, grew to great proportions through
|
|
the contributions of many people. Then there were those that kept those
|
|
collections organized and archived. Add the foresight of those who
|
|
downloaded these files and message archives in preparation for the day that
|
|
they would no longer be available from GEnie or Delphi.
|
|
|
|
Hats off to Eric "Sheppy" Shepherd for his vision and leadership in
|
|
acquiring and rebuilding Syndicomm Online. A great place to chat, exchange
|
|
messages, and have access to those A2 files and message archives.

|
K-Fest, Another Classic
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
KansasFest 2002 is scheduled for July 23 through 28. The committee
|
|
has been working hard to provide another great K-Fest. We would really
|
|
like to see you there. See the K-Fest section of this issue for

AVOIDING ADDED RESOURCE FORK - MAC COPY TO ProDOS VOL
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
All:
|
|
|
|
In case I can't make it to the conference with Dave Lyons, would someone
|
|
please ask him if he knows of a Mac OS Finder hack that would solve the
|
|
irritating habit of adding a Resource Fork to previously non-forked files
|
|
when they are copied to a ProDOS formatted disk?
|
|
|
|
I know Dave is working on OS X now and has bigger things to worry about,
|
|
but after all, this is the A2 Forum. <g>
|
|
|

Thanks.

Change the file-type to TEXT in the Mac Finder and all will be well, as
|
|
Text files will not have a resource fork added as they are copied over. If
|
|
you want to be more precise, change the Creator to 'pdos', and the Type to
|
|
the hex equivalent of the ProDOS filetype and auxtype.

Ewen:
|
|
|
|
Thanks for indulging me in this discussion. I suppose it should be moved to
|
|
another topic, but here goes.
|
|
|
|
My testing shows that even if _both_ creator is changed to 'pdos' and file
|
|
type changed to 'TEXT' (or even $04 for ProDOS TXT type, please don't make
|
|
me figure the auxtype <g> ), a copy of a non-forked text file from the Mac
|
|
OS Finder to a ProDOS formatted diskette (or ProDOS formatted disk image
|
|
for floppy-less newer Macs such as your Blue&White) results in the copied
|
|
file now containing both a Data and Resource fork, with the Resource fork
|
|
size being '0'.
|
|
|
|
Please humor me and create a one line text file in ProTerm Mac. It will be
|
|
a non-forked file. First save (from within ProTerm Mac) the file (TEST1) to
|
|
the Mac Desktop. Then save (from within ProTerm Mac) the same file (TEST2)
|
|
to a ProDOS formatted floppy or floppy image.
|
|
|
|
Now, quit ProTerm Mac and copy the file (using the Finder) on the Mac
|
|
Desktop (TEST1) to either your ProDOS formatted floppy or floppy image.
|
|
Feel free to change the creator and file types before copying, but I've
|
|
found it makes no difference.
|
|
|
|
Now, launch Bernie and mount the floppy or floppy image. Then use your
|
|
choice of programs, (mine is AppleWorks5.1) to load and/or examine the
|
|
files. I think you'll notice that TEST1 (copied to ProDOS from the Finder)
|
|
is forked, while TEST2 (copied to ProDOS from ProTerm) is not. If your copy
|
|
of AppleWorks has the Timeout Accessory 'Datafile', it will list the sizes
|
|
of the data and resource forks on forked files. Also, AppleWorks (as well
|
|
as other 8-bit programs) will not load TEST1, but work just fine with
|
|
TEST2.
|
|
|
|
I'm using Mac OS 8.6, but I don't believe things have changed for 9.x.
|
|
|
|
Again, thanks for your indulgence. This problem is irritating and I'm still
|
|
scratching my head as to why it would exit at all.
|
|
|
|
If after you've duplicated the above listed procedure you've found a method
|
|
that overcomes the problem, please let me know.

Here are the results of my tests using a one line file saved and dragged in
|
|
different combinations:
|
|
|
|
Saving to the Mac desktop (zero resource fork by default) and dragging to a
|
|
ProDOS floppy, shows a resource fork on the IIgs. Dragging the same file to
|
|
an HFS disk does not.
|
|
|
|
Saving directly from ProTerm Mac to either a ProDOS floppy or an HFS disk,
|
|
does not show a resource on the IIgs.
|
|
|
|
I usually use HFS disks to save to as for my uses they are more flexible
|
|
than ProDOS, and Bernie is quite happy with either type. In fact I usually
|
|
keep a Mac RAM disk running for the easy transfer of files to and from the
|
|
two environments.
|
|
|
|
The answer therefore is to use an HFS floppy rather than a ProDOS floppy.
|
|
|
|
There is another factor to consider. Files dragged over from the Mac
|
|
desktop can sometimes end up with a filetype of $00 on the IIgs. I found
|
|
this out quite early on, so in general, Spectrum will open a file of type
|
|
$00 as if it were a text file, but other programs may refuse to see it.

I agree the whole forked file thing is a pita for 8-bit users. I have done
|
|
a few different things to deal with the situation:
|
|
|
|
1) Use ForkSplit, which is in the file library here, to split the data and
|
|
resource into separate files.
|
|
|
|
2) For text files, used Hermes or Shadowwrite to open the file, then save
|
|
over it.
|
|

All of that said, it would be nice if the thing would just not add on a

resource fork :)

Another way to deal with forked files would be to save on a Macintosh disk

and use the 8-bit a2fx program, which reads data from hfs disks (and saves

both forks to a ProDos disk).

MUG! NDA SCORES AGAIN
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
Just thought I'd post a message here for Peter Watson, who I know hangs out
|
|
here from time to time :)
|
|
|
|
I recently got my hands on a digital camera that attaches to host computers
|
|
via USB. I hooked it up to my USB equipped Mac and it showed up as a MSDOS
|
|
volume.
|
|
|
|
Thinking about it for a minute, I started Bernie on that same Mac, then
|
|
dragged the MSDOS volume (the camera) to the Bernie disks window.
|
|
|
|
I started up the MUG! NDA and was able to copy files successfully from the
|
|
camera to my virtual GS and use them with SuperConvert.
|
|
|
|
That's pretty darned impressive, Mr. Watson. :)

Cool!
|
|
|
|
I put a lot of effort into the code to be able to read just about anything
|
|
that followed the rules (that I knew about, anyway). It's always nice to
|
|
see some benefit for the work! :-)
|
|
|
|
For the record, about the only thing that I know MUG! definitely *can't*
|
|
handle is a FAT32 disk, but I don't expect to see many MS-DOS disks > 2GB
|
|
connected to a GS!
|
|
|
|
At times I've thought about trying to support FAT32 (32-bit FAT entries),
|
|
but there were always going to be issues going to 32-bit values in my
|
|
16-bit oriented code. More to the point, as I've learned more about the
|
|
FAT32 format, there are other design issues to resolve. For example, the
|
|
root directory is no longer at a fixed position with a fixed size.
|
|
|
|
To cut a long story short, there's way too much effort for the time I have
|
|
available (especially since I don't have a hyperspeed GS emulator!).

APPLEWORKS DATABASE QUESTION

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
In a typical database record, where each field is on its own line, the name

of the field and its contents can occupy a total of about 80 characters.

Is there a method for entering data beyond that limit (ie, I want to put a

If by list, you mean a vertical list, I don't think there is a way.
|
|
However, there is a Timeout module (the name of which escapes me at the
|
|
moment) that would allow you to link a word processing document to a
|
|
database, with each paragraph of the wp document linked to a record in the
|

|

other database programs like Access. I don't think you could search or

sort on that field though.

As I think about it, what I'm discussing was probably in one of the Timeout

Nope! I was trying to think of the name yesterday and I couldn't, so I

SUGGESTIONS ON FIGHTING SPAM
|
|
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
I've mostly avoided spam by using dain@mac.com for any address entered
|
|
where I know I don't need a response from a company. I then usually just
|
|
dump it every once and a while. While, I still get it, it stays out of my
|
|
main mail box.

See if you can get your ISP to install Spam Assassin, a Perl program that
|
|
rates incoming mail and labels it as probable spam or not.
|
|
|
|
Afterwards, a simple procmail filter or easy filter on your email client
|
|
can check for the label and dump the garbage.
|
|
|
|
This has made one of my favorite shell accounts usable for email again.
|

I've gone from 30-40 spams to one or two a day.

I appreciate that. I've had no problems enlarging body parts in any case.

EXPERIENCE WITH SPAM
|
|
""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
My experience with spam...
|
|
|
|
I have an old college account that is listed on a semi-popular web site.
|
|
Virtually the only spam I received while in college was for toner, or
|
|
services I had a relationship with (which would make it non-spam). Since
|
|
graduating, it's started getting more and more.
|
|
|
|
My delphi account (listed on a couple of web sites) - I only received 5-10
|
|
spam total in 2-3 years. I posted to usenet with that account as well.
|
|
|
|
A2central (syndicomm) - not listed anywhere, never received any spam from
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
Unlisted address from a company that was bought out by earthlink.net - The
|
|
first time I checked it, even though that address was never used, it had
|
|
spam (that was while they were still independent). The address was
|
|
eventually listed on a couple web sites. It sucked in spam like a hoover
|
|
sucks in dirt.
|
|
|
|
Currently, I have a virtual hosted web site and my own domain with
|
|
unlimited mail aliases. The address is listed on the same sites the
|
|
earthlink address was formerly listed at. Two weeks ago, I could have told
|
|
you that I never received any spam, but in the past week I've received 3
|
|
spams. They came via a kaig.com redirect, though, so I'll set up a
|
|
procmail filter for them this weekend.
|
|
|
|
I guess the moral is: use syndicomm as your primary account :)

SILVERN CASTLE ON STOCK IIe
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
For anyone running Silvern Castle on a stock IIe, one thing you can try to
|
|
make it run faster is to turn on text mode (press CTRL-T while in the maze,
|
|
or at the main menu of camp or market).
|
|
|
|
Turning on text mode will bypass the hi-res character generator and display
|
|
everything on the text screen (except for the automap of course), making
|
|
messages display more snappier. The maze viewport will even change to a
|
|
cool 2-D overhead view.
|

To go back to graphic mode, press CTRL-T again.

CLEANING A KEYBOARD AFTER A SPILL

Open the keyboard case by removing the three phillips screws from the their
|
|
recesses on the bottom. Remove the top cover which consists of just the
|
|
little stripe with the Apple logo at the back of the keyboard. Now lift the
|
|
electronic subassembly out by tilting it up from the back. The main support
|
|
structure of the subassembly is a heavy gauge sheet metal tray into which
|
|
are press-fitted the bodies of the switches (keys). This metal tray should
|
|
have prevented the liquid from reaching the component side of the PCB
|
|
(Printed Circuit Board) underneath it.
|
|
|
|
Clean the assembly with Rubbing Alcohol and a cotton swap (Q-Tip). The
|
|
only type of rubbing alcohol to use on electronics is ISOPROPYL (remember
|
|
that METHYL goes in gasoline and ETHYL goes in people). Isopropyl alcohol
|
|
is the only one that will not damage the solder mask on the PCB. You may
|
|
have to remove some of the keycaps to access all areas of the tray. Do so
|
|
by lifting the cap straight up from the post. Do not apply sideways
|
|
pressure to the posts by prying at the edges of the caps. Remember that
|
|
the posts were only plastic when the switches were manufactured more than a
|
|
decade ago and may have become brittle. The keycaps pop straight on and off
|
|
the tops of the posts. Remove only the regular size keycaps, leave the
|
|
oversized caps in place (Space Bar, Return, Shift, Control, etc). The
|
|
over-sized keycaps have support guides which make their removal more
|
|
difficult.
|
|
|
|
Allow the assembly to dry overnight or use canned compressed air to speed
|
|
drying time. Do not use air from a shop air compressor, it may contain
|
|
tiny droplets of lubricating oil that will harm the assembly.
|
|
|
|
R E M E M B E R that alcohol (and it's vapor) are flammable! Do not work
|
|
near an open flame or smoke while working. Do not speed drying time by
|
|
using an oven or hot air from a hair dryer.

|
Reassemble the keyboard in reverse order.

You could straight out trade the 550 for the 340 and you'd likely be fine,

|
but you may -want- to change things for a few reasons:

|
(1) The 550 has a serial port, so you may want to drive it via serial
|
|
rather than parallel (save a slot)
|

|

FWIW, if you want a Deskjet for the IIgs, both of these are good, but the

550 might be the best. Provided it still works, it's been out of

Yes, indeed. In fact, one of the neat things about it is that you can have

|
2 computers plugged into it at the same time, like a GS with a parallel

card and a mac with the serial port, and it will take input from both

That sounds like a very handy feature. I've had no luck connecting my HP

I actually had my Epson 740 set up on the 7500 via Serial, the Powerbook

The Page breaks didn't work properly on the IIgs. I love being able to

THE FIRST Apple ][ EMULATOR?
|
|
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
Does anyone know by chance, what the first Apple ][ emulator was? The
|
|
first one I ever used was AppleWin, but I know that one wasn't the first.
|

I also used ApplePC a few times, until I got a Mac and started using

|
|
The earliest purely software emulators I could find was the "][ in a
|
|
(Mac/PC)" emulator. ][ in a Mac originally came out in 1986 and was
|
|
written by Randy Ubillos. This was a commercial product from
|
|
COMPUTER:applications, Inc. in Raleigh, North Carolina. I don't know much
|
|
about the capabilities of this emulator but it was designed to run the B&W
|
|
Macintosh Plus era machines. This even predates the IIe Card for the Mac
|
|
LC which is kind of neat. From what I've heard this emulator is slow with
|
|
a number of bugs.
|
|
|
|
As far as I can tell, ][ in a Mac and the IIe card were the only games in
|
|
town on the Mac side until 1994. Kevin Lund and Jim Nitchals released
|
|
"Stop The Madness" as a public beta in February with the intent of creating
|
|
a commercial product. STM was an Apple ][ plus emulator that ran on 68K
|
|
Macintoshes. They opened cassandra.ucr.edu ftp site requesting software
|
|
uploads to further beta testing. As you can probably guess, this quickly
|
|
got out of hand as cassandra.ucr.edu quickly became one of the first warez
|
|
sites for Apple II software. In the end they closed the site and never
|
|
completed the project. Rumors abound that Kevin was working on a PPC
|
|
native version of STM but that project never came to light.
|
|
|
|
There were a few II+/IIe emulators that followed but were overshadowed by
|
|
the December 1996 open beta for "Fast Eddie", a full Apple IIGS emulator.
|
|
As most of you know, this evolved into "Bernie ][ The Rescue" and emulation
|
|
on the Macintosh has never been quite the same since. Written by Andre
|
|
Horstmann and Henrik Gudat, Bernie got so good, so quick that it put a
|
|
planned IIGS emulator, Gus, from Dave Lyons and Andy Nicholas (of Apple
|
|
Computer) on the back burner.

Don't forget that the pixel shape is different for a IIgs than a PC, so you

SYNDICOMM CHANGES ANTI-SPAM TECHNIQUES FOR EMAIL

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
Our anti-spam techniques on our mail server have been changed again today.
|
|
|
|
The RBL/DUL from mail-abuse.org that we have been using have been very
|
|
ineffective (it turns out that they actually charge to use the service, but
|
|
their documentation on their website fails to mention that).
|
|
|
|
We have decided rather than us blocking the mail, it would be better to
|
|
insert headers into the messages stating that various DNSBL sites have
|
|
blacklisted the sender's mail server. This allows you to filter your own
|
|
mail if you want to, but doesn't force our decisions about what messages
|
|
are spam on each of you.
|
|
|
|
We are now doing lookups against the following DNSBL lists:

The header actually inserted into your email will look something like this:

|
|
X-Spam-ORBZInputs: Blacklisted by inputs.orbz.org, see
|
|
http://orbz.org/b.php?www.xxx.yyy.zzz
|
|
|
|
where www.xxx.yyy.zzz will normally be the IP address of the server that's
|
|
listed, so you can look and see what info they have listed about it.
|
|
|
|
If your email program supports filtering mail by the presence of headers in
|
|
the messages, you can then filter on the ones you wish to filter on.
|
|
Before deciding whether or not to filter on a specific blackhole list, you
|
|
should probably investigate what types of things are blocked on each list.
|
|
The best way to do this is by checking each of their websites:
|
|
|
|
http://www.orbz.org/
|
|
http://relays.osirusoft.com/
|
|
http://www.spamcop.net/
|
|
http://relays.visi.com/
|
|
|
|
We may at some point be able to offer a way to filter it server-side based
|
|
on individual user preferences, but that's likely a ways off as it'll
|
|
require a little programming on our part. :-)
|
|
|
|
Since all we're doing at this point is adding headers to the email, and not
|
|
actually rejecting anything, I have no problems with adding any other block
|
|
lists anyone knows of that they'd like us to add to it. If there's one
|
|
you'd like to have added, just reply here and ask.

NEW OWNER, Apple IIgs - HARD DRIVES
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
I was in here before a while ago but since all the changes with moving and
|
|
stuff I lost everything on the powerful PC here. My neighbor gave me an
|
|
Apple //GS last July before they moved. It came with the standard RGB
|
|
monitor, 2 3.5 floppy drives and a 5.25 drive. LOTS of software. One of
|
|
the 3.5's died., and I ended up moving in August. The computer was just
|
|
taken out of the box yesterday and set back up. I wanted to know first of
|
|
all,
|
|
|
|
A. if someone or somewhere still sells a hard drive for the GS and
|
|
|
|
2. if not then how hard is it to build one?
|
|
|
|
I have plenty of old 20,40,and 80 meg IDE drives sitting around here not
|
|
doing anything. I was even thinking of using the old 4.9 gig and
|
|
partitioning it into 80 meg partitions. I do tech support for a few
|
|
(thousand it seems) ISPs around the US and Canada. I know PC's have a Mac
|
|
Quadra 950 emulator on the PC..and know a few lines of basic programming on
|
|
the Apple.
|
|
|
|
If someone can help me it would greatly be appreciated.
|
|
Thanks.

|
|
|
|
It may just be clogged with dust. If it's something more serious, it's
|
|
possible to replace the internal floppy mechanism (or the entire drive unit
|
|
altogether for a few dollars).
|
|
|
|
>> I wanted to know first of all, if someone or somewhere still sells a

hard drive for the GS and ... <<
|
|
|
|
It's not so much the hard drive, but the Apple II-specific controller card
|
|
that operates one. Alltech and //SHH Systemes both make IDE controllers,
|
|
including a plug'n play card that has a notebook sized IDE hard disk
|
|
mounted right on the card (pre formatted with software and a bootable OS
|
|
too).
|
|
|
|
I personally prefer SCSI on the IIgs, but such cards are no longer made,
|
|
hard to find used, and thus very costly.
|
|
|
|
>> ... if not then how hard is it to build one? I have plenty of old

20,40,and 80 meg IDE drives sitting around here not doing anything. I was

|
|
partitions. <<
|
|
|
|
Probably not worth the bother for those older drives, and the 4.9 GB is
|
|
rather overkill. I think your best bet is to order a Focus HD with a 2.5"
|
|
IDE drive (unless you already have a spare).
|
|
|
|
http://www.allelec.com/indexa2.html
|
|
|
|
The information on that page is probably outdated, the minimum size drive
|
|
you can probably purchase these days is several hundred megabytes.
|
|
|
|
>> I do tech support for a few (thousand it seems) ISPs around the US and
|
|
Canada. I know PC's have a Mac Quadra 950 emulator on the PC..and know a

|
|
|
|
There's also a VERY nice Apple IIgs emulator for the PC now called
|
|
"KEGS32".

|
|
|
|
>> I was thinking about memory upgrades. Mine isn't the top-of-the-line
|
|
GS.. it's the other one. I think 128k? <<
|
|
|
|
The original motherboards came with 256K RAM built-in, anything beyond was
|
|
on a card that plugged into the memory expansion slot. That's the slot at
|
|
the lower right corner of the board, separate from the other seven.
|
|
|
|
Alltech sells a SIMM card called the Sirius, which can hold as much as
|
|
8 MB. If your looking for something inexpensive though (i.e. free), the
|
|
standard Apple 1MB memory card will give you enough RAM to run 99.9% of
|
|
IIgs software out there. I'd recommend 2-4MB RAM however if your going to
|
|
install GS/OS on a hard drive.
|
|
|
|
To check your total amount of RAM (beside lifting the lid and peeking
|
|
inside) access the Control Panel by pressing and holding Apple + Control +
|
|
Esc. Select Control Panel, then select RAM Disk and look at the amount
|
|
indicated next to 'Largest Selectable'. Add 256K to this sum and that's
|
|
your amount.

|

I'm using a 1 gig on my GS, because my 500meg just got too tight on space.
|

A 1 gig is just fine, make lots of prodos partitions, and the rest as a

hfs.

There's still a strong community of Apple II users out there. This used to
|
|
be our home until Delphi canned text access. These days we hang out on the
|
|
Apple II Forum on Syndicomm (which is run by one of our own). I would
|
|
highly recommend you do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Join Syndicomm and come and meet us all in chat.
|
|
(Go to http://www.a2central.com/join/index.html to join.) Ask questions
|
|
there or in the bulletin board. Some of the people you are chatting with
|
|
will most likely be connected with real Apple IIs.
|
|
|
|
2. Get yourself a focus drive, either with the 1 gig you've got, or with
|
|
a pre-installed drive.
|
|
|
|
3. Get yourself a Sirius Ram card with 4-8megs on board.
|
|
|
|
4. Check out Juiced GS, the only remaining Apple II print publication.
|
|
http://www.juiced.gs
|
|
|
|
5. If you really want to get in on the fun, think about coming to
|
|
KansasFest to meet up with the biggest collection of Apple II freaks and
|
|
geeks in real life! http://www.kfest.org
|
|
|
|
The GS is a fun machine. I use mine every day, and I'm still actively
|
|
producing software for it.

ASSEMBLY LANGAUGE - ENTRY POINT, BEGINNING OF SEGMENT
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
Has anyone ever coded an application that makes use of multiple code
|
|
segments, and you've had a jump table entry point at the first location in
|
|
a segment?
|
|
|
|
This case is apparently working for some people and not working for other
|
|
people. I'm trying to track down why.
|
|
|
|
Marinetti has multiple code segments. A jump table that Marinetti uses has
|
|
entries in it from multiple segments. One such jump table entry begins at
|
|
the first byte of a segment.
|
|
|
|
What would you expect to see in the Jump Table for this entry?
|
|
|
|
Orca Disassembler can be used to inspected the code segment that contains
|
|
the Jump Table. T other entries in the jump table are like this:
|
|
|
|
ea 03 00 00 ac 03 00 00
|
|
27 02 00 00 ...
|
|
However, the entry for the start of segment contains FF FF FF 00
|
|
|
|
When the Marinetti Init is loaded and the jump table entries are relocated,
|
|
the start of segment entry is pointing at 05/965B. However the actual code
|
|
for this entry is at 04/965B. That is, the jump table entry is out by one
|
|
bank.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps this is a segment loader/relocation issue?
|
|
|
|
I have spent a day trying to understand the OMF format and wondering how I
|
|
can trace the relocation dictionary as it does its stuff. The Relocation
|
|
dictionary entry for this jump table entry is:
|
|
|
|
F6 ;Compressed INTERSEG record
|
|
03 ;# bytes to update
|
|
00 ;# bits to shift address
|
|
D7 06 ;offset of update location in TCPIP segment ($6D7)
|
|
03 ;segment to point to (DNR)
|
|
FF FF ;offset into DNR segment
|
|
|
|
I've given up chasing this down. I worked around it by linking in some
|
|
dummy code so that the entry point was no longer at the beginning of the
|
|
segment.
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure why it works on some systems and not on others.
|
|
|
|
Anybody have any ideas?
|
|
|

|
|
While continuing development in completely unrelated areas, I stumbled
|
|
across Apple IIgs Technote #73 which has this to say:
|
|
|
|
===
|
|
Note: Because of the way the tool dispatcher transfers control to toolbox
|
|
functions, a function's entry point must not be at the first byte of a bank
|
|
($xx0000). This is normally not an issue, since it's common to put the
|
|
actual code right after the function pointer table, all in one load
|
|
segment. Just make sure no function begins at the first byte of a load
|
|
segment, and you're safe.
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
So Apple new about this issue in 1991, but they didn't explain why it was a
|
|
problem or if the problem could be fixed.
|
|
|
|
I'll stick with the workaround.

ASSEMBLY LANGAUGE - TOOLBOX REFERENCE ERROR
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
While trying to use some of Apple's code from Toolbox Reference II,
|
|
Appendix A, I think I've discovered a bug.
|
|
|
|
On page A-8 at the top, there is some code for moving bytes up the stack to
|
|
remove unwanted space.
|
|
|
|
The code is:
|
|
LDA RTL2+1,S
|
|
STA ZPToUse,S
|
|
LDA RTL1+2,S
|
|
STA ZPToUse-2
|
|
LDA RTL1
|
|
STA RTL1+2
|
|
PLA
|
|
|
|
I think this should be:
|
|
LDA RTL2+1,S
|
|
STA ZPToUse,S
|
|
LDA RTL1+2,S
|
|
STA ZPToUse-2,S

MARINETTI OPEN SOURCE PROJECT - UPDATE
|
|
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
Just an update on what is happening with the Marinetti Open Source Project.
|
|
|
|
Recently the sources that Richard has released have been loaded into the
|
|
version control system on Sourceforge. Therefore, you can peruse a
|
|
selection of Marinetti source files online with a browser and even look at
|
|
differences between versions.
|
|
|
|
Work is progressing on the implementation of CHAP. Initial tests are
|
|
looking good for the CHAP connection, however other issues are surfacing
|
|
and need to be tracked down.
|
|
|
|
MS-CHAP is next on my horizon, so that I can connect my IIgs to a Windows
|
|
PC by cable and share an internet connection. MS-CHAP requires an
|
|
implementation of the Data Encryption Standard. Thankfully this was first
|
|
implemented in 6502 assembler in 1979 and published in BYTE magazine in
|
|
April that year. I have a copy of this and I am working on implementing it
|
|
in Tool fashion for use on the IIgs.
|
|
|
|
MS-CHAP also requires MD4 hashing, so there's an opening there for someone
|
|
to extend Geoff Weiss' Hashtool 128 to cater for the MD4 algorithm.
|
|
|
|
There's plenty of room for other developers to get involved in other areas,
|
|
so come along and check it out!

Orbitz.com is the only site I've used for online airline tickets. But, it

pays to check all the places (or rather, you'll pay less). I'm wondering

if Arthur Andersen wasn't involved in developing the pricing structure :)
