An example to demonstrate that the proper searching needs to be done is the case of the Oblique-Triad library of games: With the demise of Rainbow and its advertising, most folks probably assumed that the software was no longer available. Of course, when Colin McKay contacted them before Atlanta Fest '93, he found that they had existing stock, but had lost their marketing channel. Colin arranged for Northern Xposure to become their distributor, and the software is now advertised in 'the world of 68' micros', as well as mailout catalogs, etc. Regards... / Ken -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Scales Delphi:KSCALES Internet:kscales@delphi.com CIS:74646,2237 -*- 86331 17-MAR 19:52 Games & Graphics RE: new user hard drive (Re: Msg 86311) From: DENNYWRIGHT To: TAULBORG You need to replace the clock module in your new boot file to correct the problem with supercomm.

Nelson -*- 86345 17-MAR 22:32 General Information RE: cocofest (Re: Msg 86315) From: REVWCP To: TAULBORG DATELINE: March 2, 1994 This is the second year that GLENSIDE Color Computer Club is UNDERtaking the sponsorship, planning, and execution of the Chicago-area held CoCoFEST! Last year brought 30-plus exhibitors to the show, including Microware, the developers of OS-9, which is proving to be the heart of the hard-core CoCo enthusiasts. Disk Extended Color BASIC programs and programmers were also highly visible, as they should be, being the operating system of machine, out of the box. We were further excited that so many exhibitors chose the FEST! to present their wares for the OS9-68000 systems, and we further hope to garner their presence this year, again. This year, GLENSIDE is officially announcing that tickets for the FEST! will be discounted by the amount of $5.00 for students between the ages of 6 to 16, when accompanied by an adult, and that children 5 years old and under will be admitted free of charge. As of this writing, there are twelve official exhibitors. They are: 1) Barsoft, Dave Barnes 2) ColorSystems, Zack Sessions 3) DELMAR, Ed Gressick 4) Hawksoft, Chris Hawks 5) Farna Systems, Frank Swygert 6) Crystal Palace BBS, Nelson Howard et al 7) DISTO, Tony Distefano 8) Budgetware, Brian Kitt 9) JWT Enterprises, Jordan Tsvetkoff 10) Adventure Survivors, L. E. & Nan Padgett 11) The Chicago OS9 User's Group 12) The National OS9 User's Group In addition, there have been verbal intentions of attendance by Kala Software, CoNect, Animajik Productions, SBUG, and one or two others whose names escape me at this time. Seminars are being planned for, but are not yet cast in concrete, except for the first meeting on Sunday Morning, which we hope to continue as a tradition. That meeting will be the Meditation, Praise, and Worship Service presided over by Brother Jeremy, a CoCo Comminuty member for as long as I can remember, having seen him at the first Rainbowfest I attended, which I believe was in 1986 in Schaumburg, Illinois. The site of the FEST! is fairly easy to get to, being alongside of I90 at IL RTE 31, with a couple of turns onto West River Road. Air travelers can reach the site from Chicago's Midway Airport by taking I55 west to I355 north to I90 west to Elgin; O'Hare arrivals would take I190 out of O'Hare and follow the signs to I90 west to Rockford, but be sure to get off at IL RTE 31 in Elgin; Arrivals at Mitchell Field in Milwaukee will want to head south on I94 to I294 south to I90 west (same as before); and finally, should you fly into Rockford, head north to IL RTE 20 east to I90 east until you approach IL RTE 31, and follow the earlier directions to the Holiday Inn. All in all, we at GLENSIDE expect to have a fun-filled weekend filled with friends, food, excitement, and prises....oh, did I forget to mention the PRIZES? Well, you'll have to come to find out about those. But rest assured, they will be there, along with the BADGES that we forgot about, last year. BELIEVE ME!!!! After all the requests for BADGES! We won't forget them a second time! Come and join us in the revelry. ************************ I got this off of another board and did not think that they would mind me posting it here.

Right now it is a small incomplete program consisting of two procedures, and the screen writes are very SLOOOWWW. If I run the keyread procedure by itself it is great but it takes a lot of time when that and the main eitor program are running eachother back and forth. I figured that as well as shelling out to tmode are two of the many possible reasons. A lot of my inspiration comes from the simple editor project in the Guide to Windows book. It is just another half *ss project now until I get a new printer.

And while others may argue against the slight overhead increase (is there any?), it has one very distint advantage. When your program is done, it can put the terminal back to the way it was. No hardcoded exit conditions. Read up on SysCall (I know you know how to use it), I$Getstat, I$Setstat, and SS.Opt. Also, pages 6-4 through 6-6 in the tech section of the manual. Note that SS.Opt only copies the PD.Opt section, so the offsets into your buffer will be $20 less than the numbers listed. offset 00 would be PD.DTP. otally untested example code: Procedure no_echo TYPE regs=cc,a,b,dp:byte;x,y,u:integer DIM s1:regs dim old_opt(32),new_opt(32),char:byte s1.x=addr(old_opt) s1.a=0 s1.b=0 run syscall($8d,s1) new_opt=old_opt new_opt(4)=0 (kill echo here) s1.x=addr(new_opt) s1.a=0 s1.b=0 run syscall($8e,s1) repeat get #0, char until char=$0D (loop until is pressed) s1.x=addr(old_opt) s1.a=0 s1.b=0 run syscall($8e,s1) (put the orig "tmode" back, untouched) end This program should get the option part of the path descriptor (same thing tmode does), make a copy of it, turn echo off in the copy, and then use the copy to reset the options. Then it runs in an idle loop, snarfing all keys pressed, exiting only on a (or break etc). Then, on exit, it sets the options back to how they were. The program does not know, or care how they were set. It just gives the original copy of the options back. You can control anything tmode can do this way. This includes echo, line feeds, Break and Shift-break, page pause, and on. Next weeks lesson will be on how to grab the original window's type, palettes and size so thatthey can also be restored on exit. :> Randy -*- 86350 18-MAR 00:31 Programmers Den RE: More Basic Stuff (Re: Msg 86338) From: ILLUSIONIST To: THETAURUS Nah, shelling to tmode is almost un-noticable, try this, do a for/next loop to say, 100 times, and run tmode over and over..and time it by printing date$ at before for and after next to show how much time has elapsed, then remove the tmode line, and do it again, I bet there is almost no difference, IF you are using the standard microware shell or dont have or your shell+ prompt set to show the current directory I doubt any real speed is involved there..I could be wrong though.. for you have any for/next's in your program? if so, make the variables all integers, this will speed up loops alot (but it you really need the REAL type number, then there is nothing you can do, but any un-dimed variables default to real's..this can be slow) -* Mike -*- 86357 18-MAR 01:46 Programmers Den RE: More Basic Stuff (Re: Msg 86350) From: MITHELEN To: ILLUSIONIST The main problem with shelling out to tmode, is there is no way to restore the terminal back to exactly the way it was before your started the program, which is the polititically correct thing to do when you start chaning terminal parameters. -- Paul -*- 86360 18-MAR 12:25 Programmers Den RE: More Basic Stuff (Re: Msg 86357) From: ILLUSIONIST To: MITHELEN True, but if he is only changing the echo, and if it is hard-coded for coco windows, then it wouldnt really matter..because echo is always on in a coco window. But if it were going to be used on terminals..well then that is a different story.. -* Mike (I do agree though that syscall should be used for a major program, I think shelling to tmode is ok for a smallish editor, but then, figuring out syscal is a great way to learn a bit more about the OS, so, I dunno, I will just sit on the fence on this one :) ) -*- 86368 18-MAR 23:16 Programmers Den RE: More Basic Stuff (Re: Msg 86357) From: NEHOWARD To: MITHELEN "the politically correct thing to do??"

Lately, knock on wood and fingers crossed, we haven't had any lockups. We're not sure if we really did something in our rooting (pun intended) in the files that has caused this hiatus in the crashes or if it just decided to go into remission on its own. Either way we'll take it. Thanks again to you and all who responded to my inquiry. -*- 86379 19-MAR 10:51 Games & Graphics JPG graphics From: NICKJOHNSON To: ALL Is there any utility that will view JPG graphics, or convert JPG to something that View can handle? -*- FORUM>Reply, Add, Read, "?" or Exit>
