uace0@menudo.uh.edu (ATARI Computer Enthusiasts) (06/22/91)
Many people have inquired as to where they can get our program's of the week...
We have posted _all_ of them to comp.binaries, but alas, they have not gone
thru. We have decided to post them here, since we can apparently pump out
the programs faster than the moderator can review them...
If this is a bad idea, flame me, and we'll stop, but we've received _many_
requests, and frankly, we don't know what the scoop is on comp.binaries...
This week's program will copy a file that has a bad sector(s) somewhere in the
file. This archive includes docs and the program.
100% assembly. ST, STe and TT compatible.

Why does an IO program need to use assembly? I think the most required attribute for an IO program would be: Correctness (ie. Stuff-up-my-files-and-I'll-kill-you) While the least required attribute would be: Efficiency Since the program will spend 99% of it's time waiting for the disk anyway. Using the assembly instruction move.IO #"A:file","B:file" which, as you know, copies two files in one clock cycle, then waits for the disk to catch up, would only speed up the process by 1%. Don't get me wrong, I use assembly a lot. But only for speed critical routines that have obvious correctness (eg. Sprite works / Sprite doesn't work).

We will perhaps release source code for some of the stuff, but we really aren't sure about it. As for neat tricks, some of it is voodoo programming, and I'm sure Atari will appreciate if we don't go spreading voodoo programming techniques.

Have you considered writing a book on system programming on the ST? If you ever do, put me down for a copy. Max mwjester@wsuiar.wsu.ukans.edu mwjester@twsuvax

Don't get me wrong - there is nothing wrong with assembly - I use it often - but I just don't think it is the "language-of-choice" for writing I/O programs in. Too scary for me. I don't care if a game crashes and deletes the high-score file. Sure, it's a bummer, but it IS `just a game'. Then again, I guess if you can't trust a DC program, what CAN you trust! TOS? :-!

Here is a synopsis of this week's Program of the Week. We've sent it to atari.archive.umich.edu (ftp-able) and also to comp.binaries.atari.st (who knows...). DC GTP (GEM Takes Parameters) allows you to enter a commandline (or use the file selector to choose a file parameter) for a GEM program. This is similar to the NewDesk (MSTE and TT) new program type .GTP extension. 100% assembly. ST, STe and TT compatible. Program of the week. This program was mentioned during a discussion in st.tech, and we listened very closely! Here ya go!
