Would anyone with a developer's package be kind enough to answer a few ST questions? #1 I have the Hippo C compiler. It supports numerous GEMDOS functions of which I would like some information on. What does the function call 'create(name,attr)' do??? I assume 'attr' means attributes. Would someone please explain the various attributes? #2 What does the GEMDOS function 'open(name,mode)' do??? What are the various modes??? #3 What is a 'handle'?? If any of the above questions insult anyone's intelligence, I apologize. However, since I am a new ST owner without a development package, I am struggling to understand the GEMDOS functions. **** Flame on **** I think documentation that describes the ST GEMDOS functions should be supplied with the computer. I shouldn't have to pay $300.00 to learn about the DOS that my machine runs. **** Flame off **** Thanks in advance for any help given.
