I am posting this message for a friend of mine who seems to be
having trouble posting it himself...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im trying to write a program that uses Intuition to handle its input
event. In my Intuition manual, it explains that the Rawkey flag in the
event class, when set, will send you untranslated keycodes from the keyboard.
When you use that, you can see when they use the Amiga keys, the alt keys,
and the function keys. My question is, how do I translate this to an ascii
code? Id like to know what key they're pressing on the keyboard, and that
raw code sure isnt telling me. The manual also refers to a vanillakey
event class, but in TDI Modula-2, the language Im trying to use, there is
no mention of this in the set of IE classes. Any help with this would be
appreciated.

Any help with this would be >appreciated. If you're doing any serious keyboard IO I suggest attaching a console device to your window instead of using RawKey. The console device will give you all normal keys in ASCII and escape sequences for the cursor, help, function keys. Also gives you ANSI type cursor control, auto-scroll, insert, delete, etc.... If you stick with RawKey, you can either translate them yourself or get the console device to do it for you with the RawKeyConvert function. See the Intuition section of the Enhancer booklet for an example that shows how to use this routine in a manner compatible with foreign keymaps and dead-keys. VANILLAKEY is defined in intuition.h as 0x00200000. If you use this, I think you lose cursor, help, and function key messages. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The 1.2 "Enhancer" package is from Commodore and is available at dealers for about $14.95. It contains Release 1.2 Kickstart, WorkBench, and Extras (AmigaBasic, PC-Copy, Emacs, Font-Ed, KeyToy, etc). Also a booklet which mostly describes new WorkBench commands and features but also contains errata/new info for DOS, RK, and Intuition manuals. The Enhancer was sent to all registered developers who have purchased a WorkBench license. This was done because these developers have a license to place WorkBench files on their product disks and it was important that they have the Release version of WorkBench immediately. Between Gamma 1 and Release WB there were slight changes to the ram-handler (so SetDate would work on ram files) and the printer.device (so HAM pics that modify off the left edge would print properly). Current plan is to send the Enhancer to the rest of the developers when they apply for the new developer program (applications for which are currently at the printer). Any registered developer who needs the Enhancer now, and can not find it at a dealer, can send a check for $15.00 (made out to Commodore Business Machines) to Kim Montgomery Software Tech Support CBM 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA. 19380 This $15.00 is NOT deductible from any developer application fee. If we give Enhancer to all applicants, you get another Enhancer. Dave Lucas and I are putting together Release versions of Includes, Include.strips (good ones), X-devel Includes, Readmes and Autodocs. When I have all of the pieces, and get them through our QA, we will make them available as a package, probably via direct mail. I'll post availability date when I have one. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The Enhancer is the marketing name for V1.2 of the operating system. Michael

Thanks for the info, Carolyn! One question is still hanging, though ... what will be the upgrade plan on the Lattice compiler and cross-development system that was included with the Developer's Package? That would be an upgrade from 3.03 to what Lattice is calling 3.10.

Unfortunately I found that that Microsofts AmigaBasic does not work with CSA's Turbo-Amiga extended 32-bit memory boards. It can't find files or programs loaded into extended memory ($7F000000 and above). AmigaBasic does work OK with the Turbo-Amiga if the normal Amiga memory is used exclusively though ($00FFFFFF and below). Its unfortunate that MS AmigaBasic will not work properly with the Turbo-Amiga as I think AmigaBasic is a very fine product. > Dave Lucas and I are putting together Release versions of Includes, >Include.strips (good ones), X-devel Includes, Readmes and Autodocs. >When I have all of the pieces, and get them through our QA, we >will make them available as a package, probably via direct mail. > > I'll post availability date when I have one. > You do good work!

That would be an >upgrade from 3.03 to what Lattice is calling 3.10. I don't know what the policy will be. We do have native 3.10 in our QA. I don't think we have a cross 3.10. When it gets through QA, some type of upgrade policy will probably be set up. It probably will not be a free upgrade. I have no idea how long this will take. If anybody wants 3.10 NOW, I understand that Lattice upgrades both Lattice-C and Amiga-C people for $75 if you send them your original disk(s) and manual. But check with them to make sure this is correct. carolyn -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Is there a 3270 terminal emulator for the amiga or can you remap the amiga keys and convert ASCII to EBCDIC ?
