- Well, i'm using some second hand information about Crossreferences in
- Amigaguide.
-
- If I build a cross reference file that looks like this
-
- "AllocAslRequest()" "asl.guide" 0 1
- .
- .
- .
-
- etc.. and use RX "AddLib libs:amigaguide.library, 0, -30)"
- RX "LoadXRef('s:ad.xref')"
-
- It loads the cross reference. Fine.. that works good. Using XOper i see the
- loaded xref semaphore.
-
- However, When using the version of Amigaguide supplied with SAS/C 6 (ver
- 33.49) the DOCUMENT keyword doesn't seem to use the xref AT ALL. It works if
- i supply the Database name, it will correctly find the correct page. However,
- it won't use the cross reference to produce a database name. I get the
- message "Requires an Amigaguide Database".
-
- Yes, i've defined ENV:Amigaguide/PATH to point to my autodoc.guide files
- directory, and i can load them fine with just issuing AmigaGuide asl.library.
- However i cannot issue AmigaGuide DOCUMENT AllocAslRequest().
-
- Is this a deficiency with the version shipped with SAS/C?
-
- I'm currently stuck making an ARexx script that parses the XRef file to find
- the database name, then inserting that into the command line. But this is
- defeating the whole purpose and i was wondering if anyone could help.
-
- No, I'm not a registered developer, and if giving this information voids your
- non-disclosure, nevermind. But since AmigaGuide is now public, i don't see
- why not.
