This has been bugging me...hopefully someone can help. Here's a small
program:
/* filesplitter */
open('infile','ram:in','R')
open('odd','ram:odd','W')
open('even','ram:even','W')
do until eof('infile')
writeln('odd',readln('infile'))
writeln('even',readln('infile'))
end
This program works fine. It takes a file named "in" from the RAM Disk,
writes all the even numbered lines to a file called "even" and all the odd
numbered lines to a file called "odd". Both "even" and "odd" are also in
the RAM disk. Here's the question...Why does the harddrive light flash
continually while the program is running?
I assume it's reading the code to perform the "readln" and "writeln"
commands. (I ran it from the RAM Disk with the hard drive locked and it
worked so it isn't writing to the HD.) Is there a way of loading these
commands into ram so they don't access the drive? Something like the
AmigaDOS "RESIDENT" command?
