- Hi,
-
-
- 1)
- I have been having problems with Deek, Doke, Peek and Poke. Everything works
- fine until I start trying to read back negative numbers which I have previously
- Poked or Doked into a Data Bank. I expect this is something to do with sign
- extension, so is there a FAST solution to this? Doing a manual bit-test and
- sign extension is pitifully slow.
-
- I'm afraid that I can't confirm the results, (my Amiga died horribly and the
- Bar-Steward Mail Order company haven't bothered to send me my new A4000 yet).
-
-
- 2)
- Also, does anyone know of an extension or whatever which allows one to
- perform a word or long-word search of memory. ie. Search for the first
- occurance of a specified word-value between two addresses. I can do a byte
- search by using the "hunt" command (if I remember rightly) but I am in
- DESPERATE need of a word and long word version.
-
-
- 3)
- How can I make AmosPro run faster for "simple" screen update situations. I
- currently turn everything off - AutoBack, Double Buffer, Auto View, Flash,
- Cursor. Is there anything else to turn off or tweak to improve performance that
- little bit ?
-
- (If I need double buffering I do it manually because then I am in full control
- of everything)
-
-
-
- Cheers, Nick

- Q: Why did Intel name their latest processor the "Pentium" and not the 586 ?
- A: Because when they used it to add 100 to 486 it came up with 585.999
