If you want to initialize an array (and a string IS an array of char) WITHIN
the body of a function (whether "main" or not), you should declare it as
"static" like in:
static char fred[] = "Some string constant";
Thus, the array will be static, i.e. memory will be allocated once at
compilation-time and initialization can be performed AT COMPILATION-time.
Otherwise, i.e. if not declared static, memory will be allocated each time
the function is called, and de-allocated each time the function ends, thus
discarding any value the array had previously.

Subject: Current Notes Magazine
A couple of people have asked for information regarding Current Notes Magazine.
I have an information packet that I downloaded from GENie, where "Current
Notes Online" is category 15 of the Atari ST Roundtable. Since policy
on this newsgroup restricts advertising I will be happy to respond to
individual EMail requests for this data.
I also expect to send ti to Steve Grimm so that he can determine whether
it should posted as a public document in the panarthea archive.

Something more about the doc's of FORM.
1: The manual was written in TeX format because it looks nice
this way. It uses a customized macro package that was made
by someone else that makes for a very booklet format when
printed with two A5 pages on one A4 sheet in landscape
format. It has some more features that are quite handy.
The sources of the manual are nearly as long as the dvi
file and because the future versions of FORM will be
commercial it is considered bad policy to part with the
LaTeX file.
2: It would be quite hard to change the paper size anyway
because all examples are in verbatim and the size of the
lines in the verbatim is trimmed to the A5 page size.
It would look quite ugly with a different paper size.
3: I am preparing an article with a short description of
the syntax, some examples etc. for publication. If there
is a demand for it I can post the LaTeX sources of that
article. Be warned though that it will be much easier
to work with the manual. The manual is rather complete,
and contains a tutorial.
It should be possible to fit 2 A5 pages on one legal size page.
I am sorry that in a posting of yesterday I sounded rather
agitated about the paper size. There was somebody complaining
about paper size and the fact that I didn't use `user(m/f)' and
`he/she' everywhere, making the manual unreadable for everyone.
Considering the amount of work it was to type in nearly 400Kbytes
of text in a language that isn't my native language I think I'll
exclude people that complain like that from the licensing in the
future.

The port is from Wolfgang Ocker, Lochhausersstr. 32, 8039 Puchheim,
West-Germany. The firm is called recco-ware.
The Version is sold only bundled with the C-Compiler, Basic09, Stylograph and
the Sculptor database package. It comes with tools to access TOS files and some
PD-stuff. The database is very nice and fast, and has anything,but an SQL
interface. So it's quite up to date. (it runs under UNIX, VAX, MSDOS, ... too,
so
really professional stuff).
This explains the price of 1598.- DM.
It will not run on the STacy, because the Screen-Hardware is different. The
Drivers for the Harddisk will have to be changed also, because of the power
consumption. You might phone Mr. Ocker to ask him, if he is doing the port or
has already done it.
He sells also other nice OS9-Software and distributs the TOPS-Packet, if you
send
(8-10) disks and a properly stamped and adressed envelope.

Thanks for all your efforts on behalf of us stranded UK users, Ken.
I'm going to wait until after Christmas and then start asking Atari UK
about this again. Hopefully, by then dealers will have the TOS 1.4
ROMs and I won't have to start hassling.
Incidentally, the Stacy was given a big front-page review in the
December issue of the UK's leading micro mag, Personal Computer World,
so I expect to see real live Stacys very soon now. After all, the
same mag put the Atari CD-ROM player on its front page in December
1987 issue, so I expect the mag will have taken steps to ensure
they're not fooled again into reviewing prominently something that
wasn't released. (Surely?? Yes??)
