Hints for programmers:
---------------------
First, all source files have been compressed into an archive (Source.LZH)
using LhArcA V0.99 (AmigaLibDisk 331). You could extract them also with
Lharc V1.30 (AmigaLibDisk 404). If you use Lharc V1.30 a CRC error in rev.c
will (probably) be reported. You could ignore this, the file is OK! I have
included Lharc V1.30 on my distribution disk. However I don't know if all
PD-distributors leave it there, so you may be have to get elsewhere. All
other (older) versions of Lharc should also work, though I have not tested
them.
All source files have been compiled with the Manx Aztec C 3.6 Compiler. I
intend to purchase the new 5.0 Version. As soon as I have it, I will fix
the sources for the new version and then recompile them. I will then
release a new version. All files use 32-bit-integer variables so I hope
there is no problem in this aspect. If someone fixes the source for the new
5.0 version or for the Lattice compiler, I would like to recieve a copy of
them.
A makefile is provided, so Manx users could simply type MAKE and the
compile process will run automatically.
Be careful in changing rev.c, as it has a special format that is needed by
other files.
All source files come with German comments and (partly) German names for
routines and variables. If you would like to know what they mean, well, try
learning German, it's a fascinating language.
I have some problems in writing a convenient message-receiving routine.
Sometimes the GURU will visit you if you select a menu or close a window. I
reduced the frequency of the Guru's appearance by using ARP's
CloseWindowSafely() instead of Intuition's CloseWindow(), but it still
happens sometimes. PLEASE: If anyone has a solution for this please let me
know. I looked thru lots of computer magazines but I didn't find anything
else than my Nachricht() (-> Message) routine.
Have fun!
Joerg
P.S. None of the files may be touched, changed, deleted or distributed on
own series of Stefan Ossowski PD-Versand, Rainer Wolf PD-Versand
(OASE), Markt & Technik Verlag AG and Karstadt AG!
Look for someone else to exploit for YOUR profit.
Greetinx to Bernstein Softworks (Risk, Dragon Cave) for their RIGHT
attitude concerning those distributors.
