[net.micro.atari16] Resource Construction ... ?

brecht@sask.UUCP (Tim Brecht) (10/08/86)

	I've been working on a program that will make extensive
	use of GEM objects. I've seen a few comments in this 
	newsgroup to make me a little leery of the whole idea.

	The programming is in Modula-2 using TDI's version 2.00a
	(the developer's version). On a 1040 STF (mono).

	The question are with regards to the MMRCP.PRG (the 
	Megamax resource construction program).

	Has anyone (other than the original person - Simon Poole)
	experienced the limitation of naming less than 200 objects ?

	The problems that I have found with MMRCP (I've got Version 1.0):

	1) The Merge... facility
	   Used to (I imagine) merge two existing .RSC files - doesn't
	   work. When I select this option - nothing happens.
	
	2) The Info... facility
	   Used to provide some sort of information on object -
	   doesn't work. Again when selected nothing happens.

	   Has anyone else experienced these problems - or am I
	   doing something wrong - the documentation is pretty skimpy ?
	   In both case the 3 dots ... lead me to believe that 
	   when selected I should get some sort of dialog box
	   or something.

My megamax disks came with a readme file that says MMRCP's "merge"
facility isn't yet implemented (i.e. it ignores that selection.)
Ditto for "abandon".  It says nothing about "info", though.
