- Further to your requset in Archive the Genesis
- application !Problems has some things that I can
- not get to work and some definite bugs.
-
- At school I have found it helpful if Genesis
- applications can chain each other but unfortunately
- the browswer tends to hang the machines if more than
- one copy is running at once so the Chaining directory
- demonstrates my solution.
-
- I have also found it useful
- to add
- IF "<Browser$Running>"=1 THEN Error 0 You can't run two copies of Browser. Use the icon bar Browser icon menu to quit.
- to the start of the Browser !Run file and alter the
- last few lines of the !Run file to
- SET Browser$Running 1
- RUN <Obey$Dir>.!RunImage %*0
- UNSET Browser$Running
-
- As I mention in !Problems the supplied SaveBox template
- does not have an indirected sprite and the replacment
- enclosed remedies this.
-
- The two applications in the Tutorials directory are ones
- I use with year 7 pupils but are customised to my set up
- (Nexus application servers and Econet for pupil data) and
- assume a Mode 35 screen, our customised icon bar, our
- in house menu system 'ArcMenu' and Welcome screen so are of
- limited use to the Swap Shop but might provide some ideas
- for others. On many of the pages there is a delay or the
- correct action is necessary before the 'next' icon appears.
-
- Keep up the good work for Archive, your articles are most
- appreciated.
