Sb: #Dynacalc Help
Fm: Mike Fahy 74656,2340
To: All

I wonder if anyone here has ever been able to get The Tandy Coco
version of Dynacalc 1.00.00 to run on a non-Coco terminal.  I
remember about 10 years ago I was able to run it on a Coco with
a Wordpak II in 80 columns, but since my son has ressurected the
Coco from the attic and we have set up a couple terminals (a
Radio Shack Model III and a 486 PC) neither one is able to run
Dynacalc.  The opening Dynacalc screen on the terminals is an
endless stream of the Dynacalc opening screen without any
formatting and then the worksheet column and row headers come up
consectively followed bu a never ending stream of ASCII
characters.

I downloaded a couple patches from this forum, the VT100.TRM
file drops Dynacalc back to the OS9 prompt, it is for version
4.xx.  I patched Dynacalc.Trm myself to provide the # of columns
and rows, add linefeeds, etc. but somewhere else in Dynacalc
there seems to be something to prevent it from running on ASCII
terminals or anything else we can emulate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated . .

Mike -

Stretching memory here, but I _think_ that the COCO versions were somewhat
'hardwired'... I used a generic Dynacalc on my Gimix, and had success using
VT-100, Wyse-50, and OS9 Coco's as terminals.

Mike,

Pete is right; the CoCo version of Dynacalc is hardwired for the CoCo display
and keyboard. I discovered this the hard way when I tried to invoke Dynacalc
from a script file and then pass commands to it. While this process is clearly
described in the generic Dynacalc OS9 manual, it doesn't work on the CoCo
version at all (which is a real shame).

On the other hand, I didn't have much success getting the generic version to
run on the CoCo, at least not using the keyboard and display. I didn't try it
with an external terminal. I suggest you might want to scrounge a generic
version and play with it; there must be some around (I've got one, but don't
really want to part with it).

I have a problem I hope someone can help me with.  We have a
biological instrument that operates under the control of  a
Hewlitt Packard computer.  I need to access the data that it
saves on my OS-9 system (TC-70) and was wondering if there is
any way that I can simply read the information straight off
of the disk and convert the contents of the disk into an OS-9
file.  Can this be done using dmode or dedit?  I can write
code in BASIC, but my C skills aren't too good.  Any suggestions
can be posted here or you can E-mail me at:

To: Jim Cross 74040,3003

The problem is that CoCo Pascal is the ISO standard and ISO does
not use the type STRING as does Turbo Pascal or THINK Pascal. The
STRING type is a addional data type instituded by some vendors.  In
CoCo Pascal you have to declare a new type as an ARRAY OF CHAR.

Phil,

The User Group does still exisit and just recently went through a complete
reoganization ....... again. I've lost track of what the current address is for
membership application but one of the directors is Mark Griffith [76070,41].

He frequents this forum, so why not drop him a line and see if he can't shed
some light on the situation.

    First let me introduce myself, my name is Bill Wittman, Jr.  Most of
you have seen me or met me at the CoCoFests over the past 5 years, working
in either the Interactive Media Systems or BlackHawk Enterprises booths.
Recently I have come up with an idea to keep the 6809/03 to 68xxx OSK
Community together.

    Now I would like to introduce "The Community Source Catalog" to you.
I am collecting advertisements from magazine publishers and also software &
hardware products from vendors of the Color Computer,the MM/1, and even the
System IV & V.

    Ad rates are $50 for the first page, (a page is a full 8 1/2" by 11"),
and $10 for each additional page.  There is no extra cost for ad setup
unless your ad is that complex.  Each ad will run for the two printings for
the spring/summer and winter/fall editions.  Your ad may be changed at any
time, but it needs to be at least 1 month before set deadlines.

    There is a subscription rate of $8.00 US for the two printings or
$5.00 US for one printing within a year.  If you have an advertisement in
the catalog, you will recieve issues free for the term of your ad.

For more information, contact William Wittman, Jr at:
