- : The following sections describe in more detail some of the changes and
- : enhancements to the SAS/C(r) Development System, Version 6.0.
- :
- : Version 6.0 contains 1200 pages of all-new documentation, including
- : a quick reference guide, library reference manual, and a two-volume
- : user's guide. Except for the quick reference guide, all documentation
- : is in three-ring binders which lie flat while you work.
- :
- : The SAS/C Development System has an extensive online help system
- : implemented using AmigaGuide, a hypertext system from Commodore.
- : The online help describes each utility, CodeProbe command, editor
- : command, library function, diagnostic message, and compiler option.
- : Help is available from within the editor, the debugger, the message
- : browser, the options program and from the Shell command line.
- :
- I'm looking forward to all of this. Can a plain non-developer type get
- AmigaGuide to develop (shareware/freeware) with?
-
- : [...]
- : You can designate autoinitialization functions that you want the startup
- : code to call automatically before it calls your main routine. You can
- : also designate autotermination functions that you want the termination
- : code to call after main returns.
- :
- This is beginning to sound like C++. When will SAS be releasing their C++
- compiler. (I may wait or I may go with G++.)
-
- : System library bases that are not defined in your code are automatically
- : opened and initialized. This means that you do not need to explicitly
- : call OpenLibrary to initialize libraries such as intuition.library,
- : graphics.library, and others.
- :
- What exactly does this mean? Does this mean that ALL Commodore provided
- libraries will be openned and initialized, or ALL libraries currently
- residing in the libs: directory, or something else? This will take up a
- lot of memory even if I don't need these libraries.
-
- : [...]
- I know that this version is 1.2, 1.3, and 2.0 compatible. (I shouldn't
- have deleted it from the posting.) I hope that SAS continues to support
- at least 1.3 for a while since I can't go beyond 1.3 with my A1000. (I know,
- but I may upgrade once the new AA chipset is out.)
