Hi All,
Okay, say I want to use OpenWindow() from the intuition lib,
I will need to allocate a NewWindow structure; or if I used
OpenWindowTagList() I'd need a valid taglist structure.
My question: obviously a structure is actually a segment of
legally allocated memory; and each field is an offset within
that block of memory.
But; the only way I can see that I can allocate more than a
LONGWORD is to use Exec's AllocMem(); surely there is some
other way to allocate some memory, since this appears to be
a very clumsy way to handle this.
I did see in some docs about a command called 'blk', but I see
no reference of it being a 68K command (what's the proper
name for it, begins with m, ummmm.... :), and Blitz doesn't
recognise it. Do I have string together loads of DC-s? :-?
All the best,
Nick.
An overly exciting Tagline....
