- According to the GS/OS ERS on the System 6 Golden Master CD-ROM, the
- System 6 .CONSOLE driver supports a new DStatus subcall that returns
- the address of two internal console driver routines that do direct
- character input and output.
-
- I've tried using them, and I can't get them to work. From looking at
- the code, it appears that the GS/OS ERS is simply wrong about how to
- use these vectors.
-
- Can anyone with the Byte Works System 6 Programmer's Reference tell me
- if this new feature of the console driver is documented in there, and
- if so, how do I use it?
