[comp.sys.amiga] Commodities exchange

bryan@cs.utexas.edu (Bryan Bayerdorffer) (07/28/88)

	Does anyone have the COMPLETE distribution for Jim Mackraz's 
Commodities Exchange v0.4 (or later, if there was one) that they could shar up
and send to me (or make available for ftp)?  Unfortunately, the copy of CX 
archived at uiuc (Fish 87) is missing the include files and example sources, 
and without these it's bloody difficult to write new applications.  Everyone 
always talks about how wonderful CX is (which it is), but no one ever does 
anything about it.  I am therefore resolved that anything I write in the 
future will not muck around with input handlers, but rather use CX if it needs 
to get at the input.device.  We're not going to be able to get away with 
inserting handlers into the food chain randomly much longer.  There are already
some nasty interactions.  In fact, I'd like to see a concerted effort on the
part of the authors of all those neato utilities (PopCLI, wIconify, DMouse,
vScreen, Click*Front, wKeys, etc.) to remove input.device from the application
programming domain once and for all by converting to CX.  (CRP?)

What is really needed is for MackRatz (hmm suddenly I forget how you spell
Jimm's last name) to do another release, as when JimG went from 3.4 to 3.6
he changed the .o file format, and Jimm said he didn't want people to compile
his sources.  I did it anyway and I am still not sure if I introduced any 
bugs when I did it (not having the same environment as Jimm).

Has anybody been able to get past the limitation on Pork Bellies ?

I do fine with sugar, coffee and potatoes, but I always lose
the Pork bellies.

Thanks in advance.
