- #8: Elems Functions in IIGS SANE
-
- Revised by: Matt Deatherage November 1988
- Written by: Guillermo Ortiz December 1986
-
- This Technical Note discusses a problem which existed with the Elems functions
- in the IIGS SANE Tool Set 1.0. Current IIGS System Disks contain a patch
- which corrects this problem.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Calls to any of the Elems functions in version 1.0 of the IIGS SANE Tool Set
- may return an invalid result unless you are evaluating data which resides in
- bank $00 due to a problem with the Elems parameter passing mechanism. These
- results are random because when SANE checks the validity of its input, it uses
- values that have no relations to the actual ones, and once it completes the
- validation, it uses the real operands.
-
- All System Disks released on or after December 1, 1986 include a RAM patch
- which fixes the Elems parameter passing mechanism; therefore, you should not
- have to write a special case to handle this problem if you are shipping your
- application with the most recent Apple IIGS System Disk. You should contact
- Apple Software Licensing at Apple Computer, Inc.; 20525 Mariani Avenue, M/S
- 38-I; Cupertino, CA 95014 or (408) 974-4667 to obtain the most recent version
- of the Apple IIGS System Disk.
