Ok, I've got this really strange problem. For some reason, a few of the new
1.2 function interfaces in Amiga.lib, such as RefreshGList(), import something
that imports something called __ProgramName (_ProgramName from C). No
problem. Just define _ProgramName to be something - I defined it as an
array of characters naming my program. But that's not the problem. That's
a *warning*.
Now I've got this real useful module in my custom library which defines
IntuitionBase and GfxBase, and provides functions for opening and closing
them. (OpenGraphics() and CloseGraphics(), they work on IntuitionBase too.)
Well, here's the problem. I can't use these functions when that
symbol _ProgramName is needed. It gives a software error (GURU number
00000000.0000A708) when the program starts, and calls OpenGraphics(). It
doesn't do this if I don't use OpenGraphics() and CloseGraphics(). It
also doesn't do this if I don't use those new functions which generate
an indirect (through another function, cxerr I think) reference to
_ProgramName.
Any ideas? I'd be glad to spill out all my code and write 20 pages about
this thing - JUST TO FIX IT!! Thanks in advance.

Howdy folks.
After struggling through Dragons Lair for hours on end, we
have come to a dead end (at least that's what it looks like
to us 8-) We are stuck on Disk 5 when you actually get to
the Dragons Lair. We grab the tray with the glasses and
steady, but then get fried, no matter what we do.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. We do have work
to do at this University after all. 8-)
Thanks,

Sounds like some of the code I have written!!!!! 8^)sjeyasin@axion.bt.co.uk (swaraj jeyasingh) (01/10/91)
Can you help me locate a Timothy Middendorf. I am using a program called Orbit (displays the groundtrack of satellites) which he wrote and which seems to have a fault (or I cant use properly). He says he can be contacted on Compuserve 72307, 3435 and Epoch2000 BBS (303-531-6172). I have tried the former but have had no success and am loathe to try the latter from across here. Hence this appeal. Perhaps someone else out there knows of him or has used this particular program or is willing to try that BBS. I sent a similar appeal earlier but with no success.
