quicklib.bas is a little routine to allow quick bmap-loads for
AmigaBasic. What it does is ask you which routines from the library
you're using, and then writes a subroutine (which you later merge into
your main program) which will create a tiny .bmap file on the fly in
RAM:, and then load it in with an appropriate "LIBRARY" call. Thus, in
one quick "CALL" you're ready to go, and it is much faster than loading
the actual, full .bmap file and also makes your program independent of
the actual location of the .bmap files on the target system: folks
USING your program won't have to worry about copying the .bmap files
into the right directory (or, in fact, even knowing that such things as
".bmap files" exist at all).
This is mostly just a typein of the program described in Amazing
Computing, Vol 4 No 3, March 1989, "Breaking the Bmap Barrier" by
Robert D'Asto. I fiddled with the program a little bit, just to clean
a thing up here or there, but the program is, for all intents and
purposes, just as Robert wrote it. Amazing Computing is published by
PiM Publications, PO Box 869, Fall River, MA 02722; 508-678-4200.
This program (and this super-brief summary of Robert's article) are
