'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
'
