- Hello,
-
- I sent a message about 1 week ago relating to alert boxes and
- programs to create them, and the fact that Neodesk and even the regular
- GEM desktop boots out, runs this program that displays an alert box and
- then reloads the desktop. What I want is to be able to put that alert
- box up with the desktop dropping out. It must be POSSIBLE! One person
- responded ( and I thank them ) but suggested I write an accessory
- instead. I'll do that if that is what it takes, but I have no books
- nor any way of getting any GOOD ST books that I can see. I have a Toad
- Computers catalog, but they do not seem to have any books listed that
- sound like what I'm looking for. What I really need is some guidance,
- how do I write an accessory? I can program in C and C++, very well in
- fact, but if you don't know the commands that exist it is difficult at
- the very least. I'd also like info on line-a commands for direct screen
- access ( this is what the manual says Neodesk uses. ) Surely someone
- out there knows some information and has time to help a fellow ST owner,
- I have some ideas for programs that I have never seen on the ST and want
- to implement them, which could be beneficial to all ST owners, but I
- need someone to help me a little with the commands first. Or at least
- give me the publisher or whatever to get a good GEM book, should include
- AES, VDI, and line-a routines.
-
- Thanks, please E-mail
-
- Stephan
