[net.micro.pc] EDIX stops C86 stdout

cnrdean@ucbtopaz.CC.Berkeley.ARPA (01/23/85)

I have been using edix on an XT, and I like it.  However, I have 
noticed that when running other programs (that I have written)
after using edix, a lot of things which should be printed on the
screen are not printed.  (These things are C86 'printf'
statements.)  The only way I can get them to print is to re-boot
the system.

Any ideas?

I am also using EDIX, V3.01, on my IBM/PC with 324K and an after market
hard disk with PCDOS 2.10 and do not experience the problem you mentioned
with my compilers (Janus, MRI Modula, Turbo Pascal).  Incidently, I am
very fond of EDIX and think it beats VI to "smitherines".  Ohh yes,
I have a monochrome display adpater --- not the usual graphics card.

My problem with the stdout disappearing after using EDIX has stopped.
I'm not sure why, but I think the problem was as follows:

I had a program with several .obj files.  When I switched to a newer
version of the C86 compiler, I didn't re-compile all of these files.
Possibly, the 'mixing' of these .obj files caused the stdout to disappear
under the conditions that were left by EDIX.

Again, the problem is gone now.
