I received my Manx 3.40a update last week. The free update for owners of the $300 list developers' package only includes new compiler, assembler, includes and libraries, it turns out. To get the new debugger and the utilities costs an extra $50. But it's worth it, especially for vi'ers, since the $50 update includes Z, the Aztec vi semi-work-alike (it's very close to vi, but doesn't have full-up ex underneath, though several :-prefixed commands are available). So far, I've compiled VT100 Version 2.6, Steve Drew's latest Shell (the Manx version he adapted from Matt Dillon's), and MicroGnuEmacs. mg and vt100 work fine; the Shell requires some changes, basically taking out assignments to stdout's file handle, buffer, and buffer size (stdout is now buffered by default). It doesn't do redirection due to changes in Manx's fexec() code. OK, OK, the main point is: VT100 Version 2.6 compiles just fine with Manx 3.40, provided you remove newbindings.asm and run it under 1.2. No +L, no +C, just say "make". I don't know about posting a 36K+ executable in uuencoded form, especially from a machine I'm just a guest on. I will get ahold of Craig Norberg, the mod.amiga.sources moderator, and see if he'll accept a binary and make it available for FTP from j.cc.purdue.edu. Steve Walton

A bug in the 3.4a compiler which was found when compiling vt100 vers 2.6
is fixed by the following patch program which will be updated if and when
any other bugs are reported.

* This program provides patches which fix bugs in the 3.4a version
* of the Aztec C68K system.

The enhancer package for 1.2 says that I should be able to find out more about this function in the "autodocs". There is no mention of this function in the Library documentation (that I can find). Soooooooo my question is where is _ActivateGadget supposed to be? Annnnnnnd what the #$?*&^^%$$! are the Autodocs? I noted that Kim Montgomery of Technical Support also mentioned these.

ATTENTION ALL USERS OF 1.1 Amiga/Lattice C and Amiga/MCC Assembler !!!!! To call new 1.2 functions you must link with 1.2 Amiga.lib. To understand new 1.2 functions, you must read 1.2 Autodocs. To access new 1.2 structures you must use 1.2 .h or .i files. To get these things, you can order the "1.2 Native Developer Update". This is a four disk set containing everything you need. Send check for $20 made out to Commodore Business Machines to: Kim Montgomery Software Tech Support CBM 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA. 19380 Ask for the "1.2 Native Developer Update" and include your name/address. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
