GWO110%URIACC.BITNET@brownvm.brown.edu (F. Michael Theilig) (02/20/90)
I found the source an Apple II emulator in C. Since I figgured that
there would be reasonable interest for a port to the Amiga, I decided to
give it a try. It looked like generic C.
I made a few simple mods and tried to compile. Infinity cubed errors.
The source file is over 100k. My problem is probably one main thing.
There is the declairation char MEMORY [65536]. Guess what that is. Aztek
didn't like that one bit, but I'm sure I can fix that.
The part I am concerned about is one of them mass assigns. It looks
something like this: MEMORY$F8 [] = { 0,0,0,0,179, ... } The $F8 is new
to me. I imagine that is means start assigning at MEMORY[0xF800] but I
can't be sure. Anyone have any better ideas?
Side note: the program was written for and compiled fine on my school's
mini. I can't make heads or tails out of it, but figgured it may find
usefullness on the Amiga.

Anyone have any better ideas? That was one of the first problems I had during the port of Abermud. (I still haven't finished the port, but i solved the problem with $) The solution is that the $ is a part of the indentifier and you could discard it without any problems.

It seems that the Amiga compilers and the Unix compilers have some differences in what's allowed in an identifier. > >/* "Come see the violence inherent in the system!" > > F.

I can't help you, but I do cheer you on. As an Apple to Amiga convert,
I would be real interested in seeing an Apple // emulator on the Amiga with
drive support, etc....
Later, and best wishes

There's a program for the Amiga that does Amiga-Apple][ transfer. It's call Fruit-][-friends (or something like that). The last time I saw their ad was in either Amazing computing or INFO. Maybe you can try to write to them for help.... If you get anywhere with it, please let everyone know. I'm pretty sure there are many ex-Apple][ users out there who might be interested in this program..... GL

The Lattice compiler does not allow $ in identifiers by default, but you can force it to allow them with the -cd option to LC or LC1. ***** =*|_o_o|\\=====Doug Walker, Software Distiller====== BBS: (919)471-6436 = *|. o.| || | o |// Got mole problems?
