     From: ALPHASOFT    To: OS9UGPRES (NR)

Kev, got another one for ya!  I don't know if this one is possible either, but I

can't think of a simple solution.

I want to have multiple processes use the same menu bar.  That is I want to have

a program fork another program and have the second program use the same menu
bar.  Now I tried having the second program do an _ss_wset that is the same as
the first, and this works but clears the screen!  Is there any way to have the
second process use the same menu bar without using _ss_wset in the second proc.
or (similarly) is there a way to call _ss_wset without clearing the screen?

Thanks for any help!

     DUPFILE and DCHECK
     From: RADARBUZZ    To: BRIANWHITE

Brian,

    I've been using your Dupfile utility for some time now and think it's just
neater than sliced bread!  I have one concern though that maybe you can help me
out with.  The other day I ran DCHECK on a disk that I had recently "duped" some

files on. DCHECK reported "previously allocated clusters" corresponding to those

files and ended with "File structure not intact" (!!!). Now before I panic, can
I assume that the file structure is ok (since you say in your doc file that
Microware supported this feature in OS9)?  My Guess is that DCHECK was not
written to anticipate this feature.  What do ya think?

Yep, DCheck doesn't pay attention to the link count in the file descriptor of
all files. While RBF DOES honor file-linking (which is what dupfile does), I
doubt that the author of the DCheck program considered paying attention to it...

Jeff,

    Quite right. DCheck doesn't check the link count on any of the files to see
if they have been duplicated. Rerun DCheck with, I think, the -F option. That
tells it to report the names of any files associated with questionable clusters.

That way you can cross-reference the files to make sure they are, indeed, the
files you dup'd.

VDD uses the 'sectors per track' field of the descriptor for the number of
sectors in the ramdisk. Whoops, I just checked my descriptor- the byte at offset

$0d SHOULD be changed to $bf. Otherwise RBF thinks that only one process can
touch the ramdisk at a time. Iniz will increase the usuage count by 1, which

You don't need to format VDD's /r0.  When you iniz it, it's automagically
formatted.  Also, for some obscure reason, they chose to use a weird way of
telling VDD how big the drive is.  I believe the ONLY important info in the
descriptor is sct (sectors/track) which says how many 256-byte sectors the drive

is.

Brian,

    Actually, the 8086-series can do auto-increment and decrement much the same
as the 6809's ,Y+ addressing. The LODS, STOS, and MOVS instructions are kinda
the same as LDD ,X+ and STD ,Y+. The MOVS instruction is a combination LDD ,Y+
followed by STD ,X+. The direction is controlled via the direction flag in the
flags register. But still, it ain't no 6809 for sure. One thing's for sure,
Intel skimped something fierce on the stack manipulation instructions. You have
to push individual registers singly onto the stack, no way to push all of them
at once or selected registers.

     RE: New Dir (Re: Msg 29478)

Yes, "dir -rn aif.*" is not correct.  The shell provides the directory
information to "dir" by supplying the wild card files as a parameter string.  To

do what you wanted, the SHELL would have to do the following:

   chd /h0/DIR1
   dir -n aif.*
   chd ..
   chd /h0/DIR1/DIR2
   dir -n aif.*

In other words the SHELL only searchs your current data directory.

PS.  I am glad that you liked the utility, have you tried my "copy"
     utility, it uses wild cards supplied by the SHELL and can copy
     an entire directory by simply typing

     copy * -w=/d0/DIR0; * copys entire contents of entire working dir.

    Most Hayes compatible modems will dial the asterisk and pound keys

it works. If it does, you'll hear a double-beep to indicate that call waiting
has been disabled. If it doesn't work, a common alternative is to dial "ATDT

Yeah -- the two cats are the best of buddies now!  The adult cat puts up with

serious tho because Set (the adult cat) will turn the kitten over and hold him
down ... then start licking him!  (And the kitten who obviously has some siamese

blood makes this weird quacking sound!  Really more of a growl I guess.  He made

the same sound when playing with his siblings tho.)

The kitten is really affectionate, but Set is noticably less friendly now. He
plays with the kitten but doesn't hang around us people much any more! Except
now I have TWO cats sleeping with me at night.  <Grin>

And I make sure to give BOTH of them lots of affection so no-one gets jealous!
And I have to play with both of them.

<Sigh>  And the kitten just discovered the joy of scattering a newspaper across

Eddie,

    El-wrongo, buddie. When you specify "%5s" you are telling printf() to print
a string with a minimum field width of 5 characters. That field width is
expanded if necessary to fit the entire string. Want proof of the pudding? Try
this example: printf("%5s%c", "s", 'c');

    "s     c"

Do you want to limit the field width to five characters? If so, specify "%.5s"
as the field width. That will do what you want. Aka, printf("%.5s", "This is a
test" will print:

    "This "

Just gotta keep the p's and q's straight. There's a big difference between the
two format specifiers. The first is expandable, the second is not.

Sheesh Greg, I didn't know that printf trick.  I guess that .5 notation comes
from the floating-point formats. Eddie, another useful item is preceding the
number with a minus sign, which right-justifies the string if it's shorter than
the field width:
         printf("%-5s!", "hi") prints "   hi!".

Kevin,

I did some further testing.  Here's a little more detail I figured out:

echo hello >/w2    - Locked up.  Echo has not even been called yet.
                     Shell is locked up in attempting to open a path
                     to /w2.

BREAK (w1)         - Unlocks Shell to open path to /w2.  Shell now forks
                     echo.  Echo is now locked up in attempt to write to /w2.

BREAK (w1)         - Unlocks echo to write to /w2.  "Hello" message now gets
                     through.  Procs shows that echo is still running after
                     this BREAK.  Probably locked up on F$Exit, which is
                     attempting to close all open paths.  Shell also seems to
                     be locked up.  Most likely attempting to restore its
                     paths to normal from after redirecting its output.

SHIFT-BREAK (w2)   - (Used SHIFT-BREAK just to get a different signal.)
                     Interupts the Shell's read, which was tying up /w2.
                     Allows Shell (on /w1) and echo to close thier paths
                     and finish up.  ERROR #002 shows up on /w1 and
                     ERROR #003 shows up on /w2, so the signal is not being
                     transferred between processes.

If nothing else, this shows why BREAK needs to be pressed twice.  Maybe it'll
shed some more light on the case.

     CGFX Documentation Typos...
     From: DODGECOLT    To: ALL

Well, folks, I just found a few typos in the doocumentation foor my CGFX
replacement library.

The first bunch are on page 7 with the menuing functions. I forgot to include
the menu pointer in the decllaration for the MVMenuXY and MenuXY functions. The
corrected declarations should be:
 int MenuXY(path,title,itemptr,column,row,fg,bg);
 int MVMenuXY(path,title,itemptr,column,row,fg,bg);

 The MVFName() function is also missing the column and row argumeents. The
correct declaration for that function should be:
 char *MVFName(path,title,column,row,fg,bg);

 Sorry for any inconvience this may have caused!

     1-meg problems?
     From: EDDIEKUNS    To: ALL

OK.  My GIME finally came in!  :)  And of course immediately after I got the new

one in we had a HUGE thunderstorm.  1/2-an-hour of solid lightning!

The lightning is finally gone enough that I can test it out!  Well, the
sparklies are GONE.  completely.  I'm impressed.

BUT.  (You knew that was coming ... didn't you?)  The other problems are still
here!  I ran MVCanvas (with gfx screen coming from the upper 512k) and
immediately noticed that line of garbage which I sometimes see with programs
using the autofollow mouse on a screen in the upper 512k.  (And very, very
rarely see on another graphics screen.  I've *never* seen it on a text screen,
and never on a graphics screen in the lower 512k or on a graphics screen
anywhere in memory when in 512k mode.)

The garbage line looks like it's about 7 or 8 scan lines high, and I only see it

occasionally and at a random position on the screen.  It fills the entire width
of the screen, and flashes on for a fraction of a second.

The other weirdness is that when I switch from the MVCanvas window to the next
window (which happens to be /term ... an 80x24 window, not VDG), the screen VERY

momentarily fills with colored blocks before giving me the /term window. But if
I <Shift><Clear> to the previous window, I don't get that.  I don't remember
seeing this one before tonight.

My CoCo has entirely too much personality.  For all its lifetime it has acted
weird.  Maybe it's just time to scrap it and start afresh?  (Heh. If only I had
the cash.)

Anyone have any ideas where I could look?  Could it be an out-of-tolerance
resistor or something along those lines?  I was all psyched that I could finally

put my CoCo back together.  <Sigh>

As time goes on ... I just get more impatient for the MM1.  It's enough to make
me understand why people leave the CoCo.  I feel like beating my head against a
wall!!!!  I just don't know what I can do any more.  I've tried eveything I
know, and my CoCo still acts differently from everyone elses.  <Big sigh>

Well, I should go before a lightning strike fries my CoCo, forcing me to spend
another $130 I don't have.  (Just paid all the bills today. :(  The good news is

that my auto insurance dropped by about 45% I think 'cause I turned 25 in March.

I'm not gonna complain.  :)

I don't mean to be hysterical here.  I'm far too tired, irritatable, and behind
in everything I'm trying to do.  :(  I'll feel better on Saturday after I've
finally had a chance to sleep in.

            Later all,

     From: EDDIEKUNS    To: ALL

After a little more testing, I have some more information.

When I switch from any graphics screen to a different type screen (either a text

screen or a different type graphics screen) I get a burst of garbage before I
see the new screen.  This occurs no matter which direction I switch, forwards or

backwards.  If I go from one graphics screen to another of the exact same type
... no garbage.  Also, of course, between text screens there's no garbage.

Still absolutely no sparklies tho!

Also with the new GIME ... it seems like the screen is much closer to the left
margin of the monitor screen.  With the 'horizontal adjust' knob on the monitor
centered, I lose almost two columns of text!!!  With it turned all the way to
one extreme, I just barely don't lose anything.

Why o why is my CoCo so weird.
Oh ... why o why can't it work?
With my new GIME chip
Plus a fan inside too
Oh WHY oh why is it weird?

Eddie, I once had your problem (very minor) where CLEARing to /TERM would give a

momentray flash of a very poorly played Tetris game :-) just as you describe. It

went away and I haven't seen it since. I probably haven't run MVCanvas since I
got the 1 Meg, tho I did run GShell for a few minutes just to blow away some RAM

fast (Few minutes is all GSHell stays up for anyway).  So I can't comment on the

other problem. I do sometimes see what you describe tho -- sort of a sloppy DAT
image swap is what I figure.  Have you run The Maze in the upper half yet?

Yes, I've run The Maze.  :)  After I resoldered the header pins to the 6809 (
Well, a friend soldered them...) it worked much better!  <Grin>  BTW, just for
grins, I'm running maze right now in the background.

When you saw that junk when CLEARing -- was that when you cleared to a VDG
screen?  Or was your /term a window device.  I get it when switching between
windows.  (I rarely open a VDG.  :)

So far, my CoCo hasn't crashed with the 1-meg.  So I think the problems I have
are cosmetic and not fatal.  And with the new GIME I have *no* sparklies!  It's
rather a surprise since I'm so used to them!

     R.S.PROGS ON HARD DRIVE
     From: ALWAGNER     To: OS9UGPRES (NR)

I  recently purchased an OWL hard drive system.  The system seems nice enough
and what I have gotten to work on it runs much faster when disk access is called

for. However, I've run into a number of problems getting Radio Shack programs to

run with access to the Owl system.  I know I could probably purchase new
software that would work first shot on the hard drive but I would like to
continue using software I am familiar with and after the expense of the drive,
well, need I say more?  The particular programs I would like to make work are as

follows:  TSWORD (along with TSEDIT & TSPELL), & PROFILE.

Tsword Isuspect needs a patch to recognize something besides the original
floppies.  It seems to start loading ok but when it gets to where it wants to
load the icons the screen goes blank except for what looks like static dashes
randomly sprinkled on the screen.  I tried running Tsword from the standard
drives and using the hard drive as a data disk but again, when I try to access
the hard drive the screen again does the same thing.

With profile, the program seems to load but then the disk light goes out and
after a few seconds an error 221 shows up.  I can't seem to figure out what
module is missing.  Now I must admit I haven't used profile since I got my COCO
3, but I didn't try to boot level 1.0 on the 3.  I tried running from floppy and

from hard drive with the same results.

I hope you or some one you could refer me to has had some success with getting
these to work.


Thanks again in advance for your time.

      Sincerely,
      AlWagner

P.S. Since originally posting this message, I found the patch for PROFILE in the

database.  I've not had such luck with TSEDIT, TSWORD, or TSPELL.  PROFILE now
works as it should. Again Thanks for your time.

 I recently bought a casio ct-670 keyboard and am using umusev3 to play it. My

     RE: midi (Re: Msg 30150)
     From: CTL56        To: BRYAN (NR)

MT-240. When you change instruments, make sure that the other channels have been

assigned an instrument before the change. Also make sure that you have different

instruments on different channels. I found out that on the Casio Keyboards you
can have the following;

      Channel 1 - 6 Notes
      Channel 2 - 4 Notes
      Channel 3 - 2 Notes

 That means that you can have 6 notes playing at the same time one channel one
but they must be the same instrument.

 I hope that this will help. I have learned this by expermenting with UMusE3
with different songs.

     RE: midi (Re: Msg 30157)

Thanks to CTL56 for a correct piece of help. Also some synths have an OMNI mode,

where any channel has the same effect, so make sure your synth isn't in that
mode. I think the Casio MT-540 and 640 can do a few more notes than the 240 --
maybe.  I do know that they can receive percussion clock timing on channel 4,
and instrument changes there will cause style changes (rap reggae samba ...).

In fact the MT240 manual says these, but they only work on the big brothers 540
and 640.

Thanks for using Umuse3.  And CTL56, I liked your Bells of St Mary's (hope it
was you).  Looks like a 4-hands piano duet arrangement.  Love the Irish Jig in
between the verses.  Hope to "hear" more from you.

PS: Re the original question -- are you using a version with the dual row ?  If
so, put the ? tool over anya note to see what instrument it's expected to play.
If this agrees with the synth but not with what you wanted, then use CTL56's
advice to fix things up.  --mike k

in the bity-banger serial port?  If so, it won't work with any other port.  But
if you actually tell it /P, then it must be using a device descriptor and
driver, so forget that.

There's no real excuse for banging the bits yourself unless going over 9600 Baud

Normally harddrives have two cables, one cable (the wide one) is "daisy chained"

to all drives, just like a standard floppy drive cable. The other cable (the
narrow one) go from the controller to each drive, that is there is a calbe from
the controller to the drive for all drives. Two drives, two cables. So all
together you'll have three cables for two drives.

Also, you'kll need to remove the "terminating resistor" from the first drive,
making sure you leave the resistor in place on the last drive. It is a flat
thingy usually on the bottom part of the drive.

You'll also need to jumper the drive as the next unit, usually they come
jumpered as the first drive, just move the select jumper over one slot.

Give CoCoPro a cal as they specialize in used software with original documen-
tation.  Their number is 1-313-481-3283.  Dave Meyers is the owner and gets a
great number of different software packages in.

     From: TIMKOONCE    To: BRIANWHITE

Brian,
    My "alias" does not go through the shell.  It compiles a short program which

does some string operations to concatenate the fixed arguments to the arguments
given the alias, then does an F$Chain to call the "real" program.  Kind of fun
calculating CRCs and header parity checks before you write out the compiled
module.

     Get/Put Buffers
     From: BRIANWHITE   To: OS9UGPRES (NR)

Kevin,

That problem with the disk editor was kind of strange.  As long as the editor
does a seek to a specifiec position, there should have been no problem, and I
don't know what other kinds of seeks are available.

Is there some restriction on the SS.MpGPB SetStt call that won't allow more than

one get/put buffer to be mapped in at any one time?  If so, could you tell me
how to patch this and whether the same restriction exists on the new OS-9 (yet
to be released a s far as I know)?  Thanx!

                                                           Brian

Brian,
   I found that bug myself.  Ugh.  As far as I can tell, the bug is that IF the
Get/Put buffer you're requesting is in a block that's already mapped into your
address space, then the wrong address gets returned. I've already asked, and
"they" claim that this has been fixed in the upgrade.  Until then, don't have
more than one mapped in at a time seems the only workaround, at least if you
want other people to be able to use your programs <grin>!

     Clipboard
     From: BRIANWHITE   To: MIKEHAALAND (NR)

Hi Mike,

It was you who came up with the new clipboard standard, right?  I hope so, or
I'm sending this to the wrong person.  Anyway, could you please reserve a number

for me.  It is for the program Bells & Whistles 3.  It doesn't really matter
what you call it.
 The number will be used when for moving music information around.  The music
format doc will be posted eventually for everyone to see.  Thanx!

     DupFile & DCheck
     From: BRIANWHITE   To: RADARBUZZ (NR)

Jeff,

You're right on the money with that one.  I found that bug in DCheck, too, and
as far as I know, there is no way around it.  When I finish my disk doctor
(don't hold your breath, it's not too high up on my programming list just yet),
it will recognize it

                                                           Brian

P.S.  I've had a friend of mine suggest that I re-write dupfile to look more
like the copy command in its pathname handling, and also add a "Move" option
that would delete the original file.  What do you think?

Eddie,

I'd like to know what method you used to do that prototype.  If SCFMan could
give signals on specific key presses, it would be easy to have the shell respond

to the up and down arrows, but I doubt Kev has added that to OS-9.

                                                           Brian

P.S.  I'll be BCWHITE@ELETRICAL.WATSTAR.WATERLOO.EDU in the fall.  I'll check on

that when I get back at the first of September and let you know.  I just
couldn't send off-campus mail to anybody.  Maybe somebody should compose a list
of these addresses f or the CoCo Community.

My program just read's the characters from the input path!  Real simple! I never

do a readln.  And I wrote a line-editor from scratch.

I had already found it with dEd, but hopefully somebody else will find it a use.

     Serial Mouse
     From: BRIANWHITE   To: OS9UGVP (NR)

Hi Bruce (I hope),

Thanx so much for those serial mouse patches.  They works just great.  It is so
nice not to have that jittery pointer any longer...  At least until I return the

mouse to work on Monday.  Just one question.  How can I adjust the speed the
pointer follows the mouse?  I'd like to cut it in half (move the mouse twice as
far).  Also, the first time I ran the mouse, the system hung on the second
click.  After that, everything worked fine except that, occasionally, pressing
the button will cause the mouse not to move for a very short time (half a
second, or so) and the recover.

                                                           Brian

P.S.  You OS9UG guys need to post a cross-reference of your names.  It would
help solve some of the confustion.  Thanx again...

     SDir
     From: BRIANWHITE   To: ZACKSESSIONS

Zack, sorry to say, but I noticed a small bug in your new SDir command.

- If the user number of the file is greater than 999 then it is not displayed
correctly.  It still starts in column #2 (instead of 1) and offsets the rest of
the line by 1 char.

There's always one more bug...  Keep up the good work.  SDir is a useful
utility!

That's not a bug, it's a feature! <grin>

Seriously, I made an assumption that the value in the owner field would never be

larger than 999. Maybe a patch is in order!
