Well, it looks like Jim Goodnow II did it again. Last night I downloaded REZ beta V0.3 and I now have a resident compiler, assembler and linker. I was spoiled by the loading time of the A2090+ST251, but now I am super spoiled. Run them once and then you don't have to ever load them again. Run multiple concurrent compiles and only 1 copy of the compiler stays in memory. Note that the arc file REZ.arc contains a "patch" program that makes cc (v 3.4 or 3.6) "sharable". Kudos to Jim again. Even if you don't like debuggers :-), you should get this one. And it is free! -- Marco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

And it is free! Yep ... REZ is pretty darn nice! Jim did a presentation of how it works at a recent BADGE meeting ... it does some, uh, "interesting" things behind AmigaDOS's back ... things best not discussed if children are present :-). I've only found a couple of real problems with it, and have reported them to Jim: 1 - If you "rez" Execute, it kills the Dillon/Drew shell (v2.07m). Doesn't hang or anything nasty ... just causes "shell" to terminate. May cause other problems, though ... I didn't leave it "rez'd". 2 - Shell itself doesn't work properly if *it* is rez'd. No big deal ... I was just trying to see what I could and couldn't rez. 3 - If you rez v3.1 of NewZAP, the S/E/F/B gadgets in the bottom center of it's window "break up" (get trashed). All in all, a job well done ... thanks, Jim! BTW, I sent "rez" to the moderators at purdue about a month or so ago, along with "amicron" (v2.4), all of the ARP v1.1 developer stuff, "viewboot" (v1.01) boot-block viewer and virus checker, and a few other things. /kim P.S. I suppose this means that we need a "resident" standard now. Lesee, there's Jim's "REZ", ARP's "resident", Bill Hawes' "resi", and the "Resident" command from CBM that's supposed to be part of 1.3. Oh yes, and the *old* resident command from 1.2 Beta/Gamma ... :-) :-) -- UUCP: kim@amdahl.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,ihnp4,uunet,oliveb,cbosgd,ames}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp.

Could someone please send me a new copy of this? My copy was damaged somehow.
Thanks,

If, however, it takes work on the part of the programmer (special entry points, etc) then we do need a standard. andy -- andy finkel {ihnp4|seismo|allegra}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.

Works great, except my Aztec (3.4a) Compiled binaries are listed as "Lattice C 4.0". Good job Jim! -Matt

Oh, I was just being a little sarcastic, WRT the ongoing, and seemingly endless discussions about IPC, and a couple other things. Hence the double smiley ... On the other hand, *I'm* not going to be writing a "tell me everything that's resident" program. Could also be interesting to see which res'er list wins when you make the same program resident in more than one way. I suppose a user that does such a brash thing will ultimately get what they deserve! Hmmmm ... along these lines, I wonder what'll happen when I have "resi" make "rez" resident, and then make "resi" "resident" ...? (Is this akin to a "make" programmer making make make make make make?) Yeah, I know ... I'm more than a little bit "off the wall" today ... > If, however, it takes work on the part of the programmer (special > entry points, etc) then we do need a standard. Agreed. Does it ("resident", that is)? > "Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle."
