OK, guys, I have what I'm sure is a really simple Amiga C programming
question for you guys...
I want my program to have its own pointer when its window is
activated. I know how to do this using SetPointer(...), but I don't
know how to set up the data for the sprite to insure that's it's in
CHIP memory... the book I have uses Lattice examples, and I need to
know how to convert the following over to Manx (5.0):
UWORD chip My_Pointer[18]= { 0x0000, 0x0000, .... };
^^^^
||||
Manx barfs on this
If I remove the chip, it compiles, but unless I force it to run in
chip memory (ala nofastmem), the data is put in fast RAM, and the
pointer is invisible!
Please reply to kolstad@cae.wisc.edu. Thanks!

Manx uses its linker to put the appropriate data in CHIP RAM. Check your Manx manual, in the section that describes the linker, "ln". You have to specify a particular flag.
