- Dynamo is a cross-development package for eight-bit applications. It includes
- a run-time library that is linked into your application at link time, so the
- amount of RAM taken is no more than necessary. Dynamo also sports very
- intelligent macros. Typically, macros are useful for conceptual reasons, but
- they often cost the developer in terms of program size, since they expand in
- place at each occurrence. The Dynamo macros are different; they try to
- optimize code generation, as well as making calls to the run-time library, so
- the code that does the work is in your application only once. Using this
- technique, you get the benefit of readability that macros provide, plus the
- compact code size that straight assembly coding provides.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- The Dynamo package consists of run-time source for the library, an application
- builder and launcher, source for the application builder, and a sample
- application that demonstrates and uses the run-time library via the macros.
- The sample is not designed to show how to write a complete application, but
- rather how to exercise the run-time library and demonstrate all of the calls
- and uses. A machine-readable manual describing the application builder and
- the Dynamo macros is included with this package.
-
- If you are interested in using Dynamo for Apple II development, especially
- with graphics, DTS has substantially more information and samples available.
- You can write for more information at the address listed in Sample Code Note
- #0. Please state specifically if you are interested in graphics development
- with Dynamo.
-
- MPW IIGS users need MPW v.3.0, MPW IIGS Tools v.1.1, and the MPW IIGS Assembler
- v.1.0 or later to use Dynamo.
