- You're pretty ambitious. First I read you're looking for Basic source, now C
- tips for Hermes...
-
- I'm just completing a Think C project which is a very functional Hermes
- external. It's almost fully commented, and the program flow is pretty
- understandable. I'm no pro, but I've picked up that the standard printing
- command is not acceptable to Hermes - it wants control of everything like
- that. So there are some special functions you can call that will take care of
- this for you.
-
- I'm struggling to fix a problem from the modification I made to the original
- program, by Robert Duran Jr. Once it is fixed (I'll be working on it this
- afternoon, I hope), I'll put it online on my BBS and on the Hermes support
- BBS.
-
- The more basic functions are really easy to implement (simple textual
- interaction), but anything calling the idle loop (hooks into the main
- interface) are tricky and poorly documented. I'm also trying to update the
- HermesHeader.h to Hermes 2.0 status. This update is also nearly complete -
- trying to get a little help from Robert on this one.
-
- Bye for now.
