Can anyone help me with the following questions?
1) intuition/intuition.h says:
"The flag ENDGADGET, when set, tells the system that this
Gadget, when selected, causes the Requester or AbsMessage to be
ended."
What is (or was) an AbsMessage?
2) When I close the Window which is currently active, which
Window will become active next?
3) Is there any way to assure mutual exclusion when accessing
AmigaDOS structures? In particular, after I get a DISKREMOVED
message, I go to examine the DeviceList, and I'm catching it in
the act of being changed. Forbid()..Permit() is not the answer.
What I need is a semaphore, lock, resource--call it what you
will. I want to delay myself long enough until AmigaDOS is
through.
