|Er... "Undocumented Features"
|to be found in this Issue (blimey!).
by Freak of NFA
Thankfully there don't appear to be any bugs at the moment, this is cos
I sat and did everything again from scratch as far as was reasonable (I
didn't re-write the assembler "Text" command for example!), and so all
of the routines SHOULD (ahem!) be bug-free.
One thing you WILL notice though, and that is that the program will stop
dead for half a second every now and again. This isn't a bug in MY menu
program, but a "feature" of AMOS Pro. Basically AP shuffles it's string
variables every so often in a pathetic attempt at "Garbage Collection".
This manifests itself as the entire program grinding to a halt while all
these rogue bits are neatened out. Does anybody know how I can turn the
bloody thing off?
|The Crunch-Mania Patch
I've used the CrM RTDD patch because the assembler source we had didn't
always work 100% with AMOS, various things would happen - like files
being recognised as CrM2 but not being saved out properly, the font bank
being corrupted, and on one memorable occasion, ALL of the AMOS banks
being deleted from RAM, fascinating...
This means that HD-Install is a bit awkward because you'll have to run
RTDD to read the files, other than that...
If you find any bugs, please PLEASE write to me telling me where you
found them, what your setup is, what you were doing at the time, if
you're male or female, and if you're female, are you single? I know
this quite cute dude who's DYING for it, it's Aladdin Sane but we don't
hold that against him...
