In preparation for putting a menu interface and hopefully an AREXX port into AnalytiCalc, I've recently removed the remaining Fortran console read/write calls from it and made all I/O go to one window via one read and one write routine. The version doing this has been FTP'd to the incoming/amiga directory on xanth.cs.odu.edu as files Analysrc.zoo, analyexe.zoo, and analynotes.txt. The remaining jobs will take a while. I wonder: does anyone have pointers to code that uses a normal console (console.device) on a window AND uses IDCMP ports to get menu messages? My old RKMs bury the info fairly deeply and I'd like to look at a worked example. Such must be around; can someone point me at one? I think I can get Fortran to do the work. The more vanilla the example the better; I know that AnalytiCalc ran recently on an A3000 under 2.0, but I also know that a total overhaul of the window code could break things if I try anything too fancy. Pls reply to Glenn Everhart Everhart@Arisia.dnet.ge.com By the way, the executable in analyexe.zoo is for large memory type systems. I don't know where the exact limit is but doubt very much that it can be run in 512K due to heap requirements. Thanks in advance to all who reply. Glenn Everhart Everhart@Arisia.dnet.ge.com
