Most/many OS9 users started with the early CoCo's and moved on to model 3, leaving #1&2 to gather dust or be given away, and/or acquired a pc too. But there's a great program in the CoCo forum which will, for either case, be able to provide at least a bit of nostalgia. I refer to a CoCo-2 emulator for pc compatibles. A very nice bit of programming, seems to me. Minimum requirement is a fast pc with at least EGA graphics. Use keyword - emulator to find the files (freeware).

Pitre 74464,3005 To: All Hi All, After hearing so much about the OS-9 forum on Compuserve, I finally decided to join. Browsing through the forum, I get the idea that in terms of technical expertise and OS-9 know-how, Compuserve's OS-9 forum is way ahead of Delphi's. Coolness... This is my first day on, but the cost of this "extended" service has motivated me to purchase InfoXpress, which I should be receiving shortly. Any way, it's great to be on a forum where there's an ample supply of OS-9 gurus. I'm looking forward to participating.

Santa-Maria 71674,422 To: All In library 3 there is a file from 1986 called SWTOOL.AR which is supposed to contain the Pascal source from Kernighan & Plauger's Software Tools In Pascal book. As I use an MS-DOS machine, and have no access to OS9 decompressors, can some kind soul please e-mail me the uncompressed file, or perhaps recompress it with an MS-DOS compatible compressor and re-upload it to the library?

Santa-Maria 71674,422 (X) Paul, I just downloaded SWTOOL.AR and converted the file to SWTOOL.ZIP. I used PKZIP 2.04g to zip the file. The CR/LF conversion has already been done. As soon as the management makes it available, it should be in Library 3. By the way, it was un-AR'ed on a '486 running OS-9000 and ZIPped on the same machine. Ernest.

IF anyone has the SCFDEFS, RBFDEFS, OS9DEFS, etc for > Level 2, Please let me know how I may get copies. Thx The only things in the standard Level 2 package that are different are the Direct Page offsets in os9defs, and the additional windowing/mouse stuff. I would suppose that it would be illegal to supply you with the Lv-2 stuff as it is copyrighted. The offsets in SCFDEFS & RBFDEFS should still work. The only way to legally get the lv-2 codes (I think) would be to find a copy of the Level 2 Development kit. This includes the upgraded assembler/linker, a ram-disk, screen editor, and several upgraded utilities.

Microware posted the defs here (I was not a member then) but withdrew them when Tandy stopped production of the CoCo III so they would not have to support them. I'm not looking for anything that violates copyright. I'm trying to get something that should have been included with the Level 2 kit but wasn't and since Tandy was less than interested in providing support for the CoCo even though we paid as much as the Ms. Dos users, Tandy decided it wouldn't provide an update. Please make these files available.

I'm getting lost trying to write an ansi-c program using some functions with variable args. Here is the problem...I have a general error printing routine which really just calls fprintf(). I guess I'll have to change that to vfprintf(), but assume that I have: print_error(char *, ...) { /* do the va_args stuff */ /* set up the cursor */ /* print the error message with vfprint() */ /* close some files */ } So far, fine. But what if I want to call this from another routine... terminate(char *, ...) { /* call print_error() */ /* call the exit routine */ } What I can't figure out is how to call print_error() from another routine which also has a variable argument count. Guess I could just stuff the message in terminate() into a string and just pass one arg. But there _should_ be another way??? Press !>
