- 'BMAPS --- C. Scheppner CBM 05/86
- '
- ' The Bmap directory contains .bmaps
- 'created with NewConvertFD using the
- 'FD files found on the 1.1 Amiga C disk.
- '
- ' These .bmaps make it possible for
- 'you to call Amiga system routines
- 'from an AmigaBasic program.
- '
- ' Three of the .bmaps have been placed
- 'in the LibDemos directory because they
- 'are needed by the some of the demo
- 'programs there.
- '(graphics, dos, and exec .bmaps)
- '
- '
- 'PLACEMENT OF BMAPS
- '
- ' When you use the LIBRARY statement,
- 'AmigaBasic looks for a .bmap file
- 'for that library. It will look in two
- 'places for the .bmap:
- '
- ' 1. The libs: directory
- ' (Usually the libs directory of the
- ' workbench disk you booted with.)
- '
- ' 2. The directory AmigaBasic is
- ' cd'd to.
- ' When you enter AmigaBasic, this is
- ' the directory (drawer) containing
- ' the icon you double clicked.
- ' You can cd to a different directory
- ' with the CHDIR command.
- '
- ' To run the demos in the LibDemos drawer,
- 'EITHER doubleclick the demo's icon
- 'OR - doubleclick AmigaBasic
- ' - type CHDIR "df1:LibDemos" <RETURN>
- ' in the Output window
- ' - Open the desired demo
- ' - Start the demo
- '
- '
- 'CONFLICTING ROUTINES / KEYWORDS
- '
- ' NewConvertFD prepends an 'x' to
- 'any Amiga system routine name that
- 'conflicts with an AmigaBasic keyword.
- '
- ' The known conficting routine
- 'names can be found in data statements
- 'at the end of NewConvertFD.
- '
- ' Using these .bmaps, the conflicting
- 'system routines may be declared
- 'and called by prepending an 'x' to
- 'the routine name. (ex. xRead)
- 'All other system routines are
- 'declared/called by their original
- 'names.
- '
- 'Note:
- ' The dos_lib.fd file on the
- ' Amiga C disk had a bad line that
- ' I had to correct (using ED) before
- ' using NewConvertFD on it.
- ' I changed: ##bias 5*6
- ' to: ##bias 30
- '
