Re: My posting of GAD.C, a program showing how gadgets are rendered. It was brought to my attention by Dale Luck that my progam was naughty and wasn't fair. Sorry about that!! It won't happen again. Actually I saw a lot of code that looked like that, and thought that it was the proper thing to do, I stand corrected and thank you for pointing it out. We all live and learn!! I am running a bit late in getting my Menu and Requestor tutorial up on the nets. This is due to a rather confusing problem I have yet to solve. It involves the use of the AutoRequest function. Pariseau, and Jim Mackraz have allowed me to send them a copy of the problem area. It might be a bug in the compiler. As soon as that problem is solved, and I can knock off the final "chapter", it might make it to the nets sometime next week, pending my problem getting solved. FLAME ON (Whooooosh!!!!) C'm on you guys, lets keep those lines shorter than 79 characters. My stupid terminal program truncates lines longer than 79 characters, and some of the postings have had very long lines. Robert French's program has long lines in it, and would appreciate it if he would "mail" me another copy. Georgr Jones' terminal program looks very good, but alas I can never know what those characters are. FLAME OFF (Pffffttt!!!) Now, I wonder if any of those nice Amiga Folks plan on posting source to any of the music demos, or would release the data format to the Instruments file, or have any plans on standardization of Instrument files. I can hardly expect commercial software houses to release such information, and Hats off to Electronic Arts for providing a standard for storing bitmap information, and talked to Steve Shaw today and he will be making available some source code for handling the IFF files, now **THAT** is something to look forward to. In passing, I hope that my tutorials are helpful to those planning on development of Amiga software for both Educational and Commercial purposes. Now I better get back and finish the Menu/Requestor tutorial. John Draper WELL: crunch UUCP: ihnp4!ptsfa!well!crunch BIX: crunch DELPHI: crunch MCI Mail: crunch

My >stupid terminal program truncates lines longer than 79 characters... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sounds like you already know where the problem is John :-) :-) John is doing a great job at disseminating amiga information and cross-posting from various BBS's. Perhaps someone can arrange to set him up with a less brain-damaged terminal program for his Mac. -Fred =========================================================================== Fred Fish UniSoft Systems Inc, 739 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94710 USA {ucbvax,dual}!unisoft!fnf (415) 644 1230 TWX 11 910 366-2145 ===========================================================================
