Subj: New AES routines in TOS ROM, more info wanted
In some magazines it was mentioned that the ROM TOS contains two extra
AES routines for handling forms (form_keyboard and form_button if I can
remember their names correctly). These routines are supposedly not
blocking the screen outside the form as the form_do routine is doing.
Two questions:
1: Has anybody a description of the function of these new routines ?
Maybe somebody at Atari or DRI can answer this.
2: What are the calling conventions for the new functions. Assembly info
is sufficient. A complete C binding is preferred.
Thanks for any answers. Mail them to me and I'll summarize to the net
or mail to this group directly.
