Joerg,

The cross-library searching will be introduced in all forums, sooner or later.
|
|
Forums rotate as to which ones are test forums for new stuff, and we're just
|
|
not on that list right now :-) So hang on, shouldn't be long before all forums
|
|
have that feature.
|
|
|
|
PS: speaking of keywords, have you ever tried this: just typing "key" in a
|
|
library? It lists all the keywords people have used. Sometimes handy.

Latest on the across library search software is that it hits the general forums
|
|
mid to late October. As a result of the testing you've run across in the UNIX
|
|
forum (and a few other beta sites) a few more performance issues are being fine
|
|
tuned.
|
|
|
|
Hang in there!

Adding to what Steve said....
|
|
|
|
In other words, it ain't ready, yet. But they're working on it.
|
|
|
|
Just FYI, Joerg, all of the forums run the same software, in general. There
|
|
are some forums that are beta testing upcoming software features/bugs, so what
|
|
happens in one forum will generally propagate to all of the forums in due time.

Thanks Roy. I'm not sure exactly what the code is doing -- I'll have to print
|
|
it out and study. Yes, I was the one wanting to do the longjmp() out of the
|
|
intercept (well, I don't nesc. *want* to do it, I was trying to find out if I
|
|
could and don't forget that this started with just wanting to do I/O in the
|
|
intercept which I guess is okay now). But with all the problems being created
|
|
it might be better to forget the longjmp() stuff and just do an exec() or
|
|
whatever and restart the program. It seems to me that this would ensure a
|
|
cleanup. Guess that one could pass some params to the 'new' program telling
|
|
that this is a re-start -- might even use a data module for intitialized
|
|
variables.

Dear Friends:
|
|
|
|
Recently, I was given a Harddrive packaged by the Integra Company. It contains
|
|
a Seagate 178N HD and power supply. While it is originally for the MAC the
|
|
internal cable mate up with the cable from my DISTO 4-in-1. It is possible that
|
|
there may be a sector problem on the HD, but I was able to get it to lowlevel
|
|
format under RSDOS. Here begins, the problems. I have had the SC-2 and 4-in-1
|
|
hooked to my COCO3 with 512k and a model 26_3124 Multipak for almost two years.
|
|
The only part of the 4-in-1 that I have used so far is the RTC. This did not
|
|
require the nine volt power supply to work. I plugged in the nine volt adapter,
|
|
supplied by DISTO and I could no longer get a directory under RSDOS or OS9. If
|
|
I turned the power supply off, then I could get it. Next I booted up OS9. I
|
|
loaded in the following modules and CMDS from the DISTO disk:
|
|
cchdisk_SCSI_LII.dr, h0_4in1SCSI.dd, and HMODE. I then did an mdir and got:

Well if you don't want to longjmp, the next program lets you return. Both

programs keep OSK happy with a F$RTE for each signal caught. All I do is

change the return address on the stack.

The only reason why I pointed this out is because my local Tymnet node seems to
|
|
prefer that I use ALL CAPS when I call to logon to Delphi. When I go to log on
|
|
there, I normally set all caps first and then start the term program. Since
|
|
fixing the problem is, I don't believe, a major change, perhaps a small IPatch
|
|
would be more appropos than a big reupload.

Erich,

|
|
There are many OS9 programs that have case sensitive arguments. This is even
|
|
more prevalent with OSK, the "ls" command distributed with the MM/1 has
|
|
arguments that _must_ be specified as upper case. I know of several programs
|
|
for which arguments with the same letter mean totally different things as upper
|
|
or lower case.
|
|
|
|
I see that in this case :), Mark has elected to change Sterm to be case
|
|
insensitive, which, as the program author, is his choice.

Normally, case sensitivity in a program does not bother me. It's just that
|
|
with a terminal program, I was hoping for insensitivity because a service I use
|
|
a lot "prefers" all-caps for my logons. Since Ultimaterm always puts me in
|
|
all-caps as soon as I drop into terminal mode, I wanted to continue along this
|
|
line by being in all-caps as soon as STerm has me in terminal mode. I've found
|
|
that under Ulterm, if I call CIS before them, I usually forget to restore all
|
|
caps and am not reminded until Tymnet refuses to get me through. And Tymnet
|
|
won't let me through to the service unless my full logon procedure is
|
|
absolutely flawless. One lowercase or mistyped character and I have to hang up
|
|
and redial. I did complain to their customer service. They acknowledged the
|
|
situation but said there is nothing they can do about it. My sole intention of
|
|
starting the thread was for purposes of easier OS-9 logon to that service, not
|
|
to stir up trouble.

different set of options for each baud rate. This can come in handy, but is

usually just one more thing to have to remember.

But of course - and now you have just explained how the fool thing got to be
|
|
different! I just switched to a 2400 baud modem. Wonder though why the 300
|
|
baud did the same because I have occasionally used that rate for mail browsing
|
|
(cheap you know). Probably some scheme to "encourage" use of CIS's own
|
|
software ignoring the fact that at least on here it is of no consequence to
|
|
probably the majority of the users. Oh well.

Unfortunately, there is a widening chasm of opinion as to which product will be
|
|
supported as the OS of the 90's, OS/2 or Microsoft's new contender which pretty
|
|
much uses WINDOWS as the primary interface.
|
|
|
|
Microsoft isn't doing OS/2 anymore, they've completely pulled away from it. The
|
|
beta version of OS/2 v2.0 is the only version of it there will ever be. IBM is
|
|
continuing without the support of Microsoft, but you can imagine how far that's
|
|
going to go. IBM hopelessly screwed up the two tries at DOS they wrote all by
|
|
themselves. I have no faith in their ability to keep the OS/2 ball rolling,
|
|
especially considering that it had hardly gotten started.

Ever since I got my CoCo3 and OS9 Level II and CM-8 monitor, I have been
|
|
disappointed by not being able to use my D.L. Logo the way I could on my CoCo2
|
|
with Level 1. So many things don't work anymore, especially the color, but also
|
|
the SSC and the SAY primitive. I got around the problem with the SAY primitive
|
|
by booting Level I again, but I still would like to get color back with my
|
|
CM-8. I'm pretty fair at assembler, though I don't have an assembler for OS9.
|
|
The various tricks around for changing the use of artifact colors haven't
|
|
seemed to work on D.L. Logo, so I'm wondering if I could somehow disassemble
|
|
the program code and find a way to use the newer color modes. I realize this is
|
|
a long shot, but I miss my turtle so much. I want to teach my kids Logo, but I
|
|
don't want them to have to go through the hastle of unplugging the CM-8 and
|
|
plugging in a TV whenever they want to push the turtle around. Any thoughts?

suggestion about the tv/monitor. Why unplug the cm8? do you have to move the

I may be wrong, but the last time I had a CM-8 and a TV plugged in
|
|
simultaneously, the TV showed black and white. It seems that the CoCo knows if

it has something plugged in the CM-8 port and can't do the artifacting when it

I think you need to specify that /M1 is the communications device, instead of

/T1 or /T2.

OK, I went and specified /M1, which, of course, didn't work since my Deskmate

boot disk doesn't load that driver, neither does it load /T1. I do have the
|
|
DCM-6 modem that hooks into the bit banger. I assume this is /T1.

What is the best way to add /M1 to my Deskmate configuration?

Ugh...
|
|
|
|
Essentially you'll need to build a new bootfile using your favorite tool (i.e.
|
|
either OS9GEN, COBBLER, or CONFIG).
|
|
|
|
I believe that M1's associated driver is ACIAPAK. If that is true (you can do a
|
|
'dump M1' on the M1 device descriptor module on your disk and verify that it
|
|
says ACIAPAK), if your standard kernel already has ACIAPAK in it, you're not
|
|
too far off.... You can put the disk with M1 on it in the drive and type
|
|
something like:
|
|
|
|
load /d1/modules/M1.dd
|
|
|
|
to get it into memory, and then insert your deskmate disk into a drive and type
|
|
something like:
|
|
|
|
cobbler /d? (where ? is the target drive)
|
|
|
|
If none of this looks like it will work, you'll need to 'hand build' a new
|
|
kernel. That involves taking your current bootfile, splitting it into modules
|
|
(get the bootsplit utility in DL9 or DL10), making a list of them, and then
|
|
adding the M1 to both the list and the group of modules. Then you'd use OS9Gen
|
|
to glue them all together again, uisng the list to drive OS9Gen's input.
|
|
|
|
Let me know how (or if) you fare....

The easiest way would be for someone to write or port the "tail" utility. I

I checked under the key of "tail" as that seemed most likely to "hit" if the
|
|
program is there. I did this in Libs 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. I even checked Lib
|
|
12 even though I can't support it. Delphi has something like that for the
|
|
68000 only so I thought I might see if your util would be a 68000 thing as
|
|
well. In all the Lib searches I came up empty. As I do have the catalog files
|
|
for most Libs downloaded, I'll make a more exhaustive offline search.

If that's the case, then perhaps it's in the great bit bucket. The procedure
|
|
Bruce Mackenzie showed you is essentially all you need to do. The same can be
|
|
done in BASIC or BASIC09 easily (in fact the original FED was written in B09).

If I still had a C Compiler on an 09 machine, I'd write you a quicky tool.

Erich,
|
|
If you have access to a C compiler the following should do the trick:
|
|
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
|
|
main()
|
|
{
|
|
char c;
|
|
|
|
fseek(stdin,129l,0);
|
|
|
|
while(fread(&c,1,1,stdin) != 0)
|
|
fwrite(&c,1,1,stdin);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This would produce a program that would copy a file from standard input to
|
|
standard output minus the first 128 bytes. You'd call the program with i/o
|
|
redirection, ie chop <inputfile >outputfile. By the way, thats an ell in 129l
|
|
not a one. I would imagine you could do the same thing just as easily in
|
|
basic09 if you're not into C.

I have been wanting to get a C compiler but I no longer hold out any hope of
|
|
getting Tandy's. Maybe the SmallC on Delphi will suffice. With the source
|
|
code you gave I may be able to translate this into Basic09 as you had said. So
|
|
far I've had little success with doing disk operations in B09 though I am
|
|
finally starting to "get the hang of it". Despite the hassle of two transfers,
|
|
I also wonder about the potential of doing this under DECB. The only binary
|
|
editing I've ever done in DECB is with a dEd-like disk zapper utility.

You could do it in DECB but it would be a hassle. I had a look at tail09.ar
|
|
which someone else suggested and it appears to be line oriented and not really
|
|
what you want. Tell you what I'll hack together a little utility and upload it

If you have tsed or tsedit, you can edit a binary file with it. Not really
|
|
easy to delete 128 bytes at the beginning, but possible. Try a series of "8x"
|
|
commands (16 of them). That will remove the 1st 128 bytes.

Sigh....I've just packed up and sent off my CoCo 3 to Oklahoma, where I will
|
|
set it up for my niece to use, and maybe others in my family, if I can be
|
|
persuasive enough.
|
|
|
|
I have a CoCo 3 sitting in a case, waiting for eventual use, but right now my
|
|
main computer is my MM/1, on which I'm typing this message.
|
|
|
|
It's kind of sad, in a way. Maybe this weekend in Atlanta I can drink a toast
|
|
to my CoCo. I *will* get a 6809 system back up and going eventually, though;
|
|
not to do so just doesn't seem right.

Yeah, ya can't beta test without really flogging the stuff, tho you could judge

|

"real" version too?

As for the DelMar machine, if it had grafix, I mean real grafix and windows, it

would be dangerous. In fact, Ida bought one last October. But the MM/1 does

|
what I need, unlike the PT or TC-9.

Don't recall if you're describing a TC-70 or MM/1, but most modern UARTs go to
|
|
External clock if software selectsw the 16th baud rate, so you *should* be able
|
|
to wire in a MIDI crystal and have the UART run either normal RS232 rates or
|
|
MIDI rate from software. No need for a jumper at all, unless I'm missing

that I did have to mod. the original for some reason but can't remember why.

The old software manuals are lost. I always liked OS-9 but realities made me go

ms-dos. Now I work on Unix machines and am going back to OS-9 to practice my

"C" skills.
|

By the way this program will work fine If I boot 1.01. The more I think about

was all I had at the time.

I have a CGP-220 printer and now found out RS cannot get the ink paks for it I
|

only have the ones in it now. (I have a set that are empty) I have heard this
|
|
is really a Cannon printer so is it possible to get these paks elsewhere?
|
|
|
|
if not (worst case senerio here) I have the empty paks and 4 needle syringes
|
|
are there other types of ink paks with the same ink that i could suck out and
|
|
stick them in the empty paks to re-load them? I assume there are many kinds of
|
|
ink so i obvoisly want the right kind of ink for it.
|
|
|
|
Well I know there are many others with CGP-220 printers so what do you do to
|
|
keep it running?
|
|
|
|
I also have a CGP-115 but that was easy. just pull the pen apart and get those
|
|
fountain pen cartridges. put about three drops in , re-assemble it and your
|

set.

Got the MM/1 back yesterday, and installed it tonight. I noticed that you

for??

the video port - BT478KPJ?? - blew itself into bits as soon as I powered it up.

Hi all. I'm back. I've "defected". I bought a friend's Atari 520ST just
|
|
yesterday. It already has a second 512k "strip" to bring it up to 1-meg RAM.
|
|
Just tonight I went to a store that is clearing out its Atari stock (yep
|
|
another one is going to be 100% IBM compatible just like Tandy did). Right now
|
|
as I type this, I'm testing a 16-MHz 68000 "Turbo16" upgrade *with* Instruction
|
|
Cache sorta like the pipeline effect in 386 CPUs. That board was about 2/3rds
|
|
the discount price at this store! I almost bought Dr.T's Tiger Cub MIDI
|
|
system, too, since I have grown weary of waiting for Mike Knudsen to
|
|
incorporate the functions we need in his Ultimuse-III.
|
|
|
|
So ... I'd like to know the status of Atari/OS9? And whether it has the
|
|
windowing system available yet? I'm serious ... someone try talking me into
|
|
buying it. And maybe someone can give me some good reasons to keep my CoCo?
|
|
(like is the Level-II upgrade seeing the light at the end of that proverbial
|
|
tunnel yet?)

The Tiger card is a memory enhancement card, and will run under either RSDOS or
|
|
OS9, according to a discussion I had with Frank on this subject a few months
|
|
ago.
|
|
|
|
It'll speed up programs run on the 6809 by 2-3 times, Frank says
|
|
'conservatively' but a friend of mine, who repairs/works on computers for a
|
|
living, tell me more likely, according to the architecture, it should speed up
|
|
programs by 5 or 6 fold.

I apologize, but I deleted out your message and file to me before I saved the

Anyway, I tried out the version of Aterm you sent me, and it locked up my

I did get Aterm to 'partially' work once using the aterm.ctl file, but I

haven't been able to duplicate my efforts again. (The 'partial' working means

a menu came up, but nothing would work after that...)

Hi Mark,
|
|
|
|
I was playing with the source from STERM 1.5.1 (from lib 12) last night and I
|
|
finally got it to compile on my MM/1. (It even works, using it at this
|
|
moment). My compiled version is a little longer than the one in the archive,
|
|
most likely because I had to make my own "getopt.h" and a couple of ".r" - type
|
|
files for the linker. Since I am not real brilliant in "C", this took a while.
|
|
Is there an enhanced library for OSK (like the Kreider libs for Level II on the
|
|
COCO) that I missed somewhere?
|
|
|
|
My purpose for this exercise is mostly just to learn more about "C" and the
|
|
MM/1, next I'm gonna try to add ZMODEM to STERM.
