When I run Deluxe Paint III, I notice that it opens a port called "DeluxePaint". Can I send commands to this port to get DPaint III to draw for me? How can I find out what the format is? Confused minds want to know. -- Walt Sullivan 9D35 Carling Mail stop 104 ESN 393-7952 Unix mail: walt@bcarh133

How can I >find out what the format is? I presume (although I do not know for sure) that this port is the standard message port for Exec to communicate with DPaint through. Yes, you *could* have it draw for you, if you wanted to simulate all of the input messages Exec normally sends via the input.device - check the RKM for the format, and expect an inhuman amount of effort to make it work :-) -- Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.us
