To: all

I'm part of a team that is developing applications for OS-9 on CD-I and for
|
|
DAVID on a set-top box. We use DYUV graphics in our applications. There are
|
|
several groups that would like to view these DYUV graphics on different
|
|
platforms, without having expensive software packages like Debabelizer. Is
|
|
anyone aware of a utility that would help?
|
|
|
|
By the way, is there a Philips forum somewhere out there? Does anyone know how
|
|
common DYUV is (I had no luck finding anything about DYUV in any CompuServe
|
|
forum or in any Usenet News Group)? Does anyone think there should be a
|
|
section in this forum about graphics?
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|

Craig German

Hi! Long time no see (since Chicago last year... I should be making it ther
|
|
e this year too). The "pseudo-shell" was just a BASIC09 program with a very
|
|
limited set of commands, so I don't know if you want to bother with it or just
|
|
write your own. If you do want it, just leave me a message and I will try to
|
|
upload it here for you, though I will edit out a lot of the stuff we used here
|
|
at work. Either that, or I can just bring it to Chicago (if you are attending
|
|
this year) and give it to you there, and help answer any questions that you may
|
|
have about it there.
|
|
I should mention that I actually have gotten a little bit of crunching done
|
|
on BASIC09 now for the next Nitro release, and I will be releasing an Ipatch
|
|
file for stock OS-9 as well. Not much speedup, and only in certain areas, but
|
|
the code is a little smaller. Haven't gotten to RUNB yet, though.

Dear Curtis: I'd like to see that program, as it will give me a good starting
|
|
point. If you can, please send me a copy of it. I look forward to seeing you
|
|
in Chicago.

Sb: CoCo 3 Emulator and OS9
|
|
Fm: Ian Hodgson 72177,1762

To: All

Judging from a few messages I've seen slide by, there are a few others out
|
|
there using Jeff Vavasour's remarkable CoCo 3 emulator on a fast PC. This
|
|
appears to work flawlessly on Disk Basic stuff, but I'm having no end of
|
|
problems with OS9 and maybe someone else has solved the problems.
|
|
|
|
The basic trouble is that ALL of my OS9 diskettes are double sided; drive 0 is
|
|
an 80 track 3.5 and drive 1 a 40 track 5 1/4". Apparently, the CoCo 3 emulator
|
|
cannot manage double sided diskettes. After I discovered this, I was able to
|
|
get it to boot with the original Tandy-supplied OS9 system disk, but it had
|
|
trouble reading files after that and I couldn't do much with it. Anyway, my
|
|
extensively patched system is a far cry from that oldie by now. I just can't
|
|
see spending the hours required to try to convert everything to single sided
|
|
diskettes; there are dozens of diskettes involved.
|
|
|
|
So, a couple of questions. Does anyone out there know if, should I make a
|
|
reasonably modern, bootable, single sided OS9 system diskette, with suitable
|
|
device descriptors for d0 and d1, would the emulator use these descriptors and
|
|
then be able to read the double sided diskettes? If not, any other suggestions?
|
|
|
|
Secondly, has anyone considered coming up with a CLOCK module that would access
|
|
the PC clock? Typing in the date and time every time I boot is not my idea of
|
|
fun.
|
|
|
|
In the meantime, I'll just have to move the CoCo closer to the operating
|
|
position.
