PaNorAmA 13c 28Jan87
For the programmer's meeting, the first disk is a collection of tools
for programmers, and has several example programs in "C" that will give
you some insight into programming on the Amiga.
Your Club Librarian,
Jeff Lydiatt
DISK CONTENTS
Blink6.7
The latest version of the Public Domain replacement linker by "The
Software Distillary" - this one is Version 6.7 dated 15 October 1986.
It will complement the PD Assembler, A68k, also on this disk.
MED - Mr.ED Another General Purpose Editor
Mr. Ed is a general purpose editor written at Evans and Sutherland
computer corporation. It only runs under the CLI. An extensive
documentation file is included.
Txt - a general purpose "strip" utility
This utility allows you to manipulate text files in a myriad of very
useful ways. Sorry, it won't cut your toe nails for you, but will do
just about everything else:
You can strip out extra line feeds and miscellaneous control
characters, remove double spacing, reformat paragraphs with word wrap,
detab or entab with tab positioning under your control, and will also
strip miscellaneous garbage (non printable characters) from your file.
- By Ray Lance. Source code is included.
Menu
An example from the Jan/Feb 1986 issue of "Amiga World", written in "C",
which demonstrates how to open windows, set up a menu strip, and how to
test for which option was selected by the mouse.
A68k
Here is a freely distributable Metacomco-compatible assembler by the
PaNorAmA club's own Charlie Gibbs. Charlie converted the Modula 2
68000 assembler published in last summer's Dr. Dobbs to "C", and added
a few enhancements in the process. He plans to release the code as well
after he has added a few more features.
XPlor
Want to know how to get at some of the system lists? The club Guru,
Larry Phillips has written an example in assembler to show you how to
do it.
PrinterDrivers
This drawer contains a number of printer drivers, and some usefull
utility programs.
New drivers include: a Gemini10x, a Roland 1212a, an IBM ColourJet
printer, and several plotters. There is also source code for the
render.c part of a color version of the NEC CP6 printer.
The Gemini 10x and Roland 1212a drivers were written by Panorama
executive member Allen MacKinnon. Source code is included!
The utilities are two:
SetPrt - allows you to modify some of the parameters of an existing
driver. A documentation file is included.
PrGen - Version 1.1 of a real general purpose printer driver
generator, including an example for a "ThinkJet" printer. Source
code in Modula 2 is also included. A shareware program by
Jorgen Thomsen.
Requestor
Club member Anson Mah has been working for quite a while on this one,
but its worth the wait. Here is an example file requestor, written in
"C", that mimics Charlie Heath's TxED requestor - including real time
scrolling file names controlled by the proportional scroll bar.
CXPlor
Another fine example by Anson Mah which duplicates Larry's "XPlor". If
you have trouble understanding assembler, try reading Anson's example
in "C" showing how to traverse some of the system lists.
TxHelp
An example of how to use "Hot Keys" by Anson. Programs the numeric
keypad to alias TxED's menu commands. Source code in "C" of course!
