AES Support:
First, my thanks to all who responded about this matter.
The information I have is that I should try to get Ian
Lepore's 'gemfast13.arc' file which is a complete AES support
kit. I should be able to get this from the 'atari.archive'.
I have a domain address for that site, but can someone give
me a "bang address" for whomever is in charge of maintaining
the archive so I can request it? I don't have FTP capabilities
to my "local" site and I can't do it through my Net connection
site for other reasons.
Mouse Report Range Settings:
In the program I'm working on, I'm starting at Medium
Res. and then switching to Low Res. The only problem I have
is that I want the Mouse to limit its travel to 320 in the X
range. First I tried to use 'initmous()' and that didn't
work. I'd like to figure out that one eventually, but it should
not be necessary for this project. There should be an alternative
using 'ikbdws()'. But I can't get this to work either.
The following is a model of the code that I tried:
char scratch[5];
scratch[0] = 0x09; /* Command to start absolute mouse reports */
scratch[1] = 319 >> 8;
scratch[2] = 319 & 0xff;
scratch[3] = 0;
scratch[4] = 199;
ikbdws(4,scratch);
When I ran code essentially the same as the above, the
mouse seemed to stop sending X Y information completely. Any
ideas about this?

I just d/led the file stef-gemlib.zoo from cs.uni-sb.de and it has what appears to be complete AES/VDI support, although I will have to wait until next week when I get back to work and my 4-Meg machine to complie them up (gosh I wish I had the bucks to upgrade to 4-Meg at home) If this doesn't provide the VDI support I need, maybe this gemfast13 will?? I checked the re-born Atarr.archive.umich.edu (Thanks guys for running this service, I for one would never complain about your losing a few files, your do a great job!!!) Anyone know where the gemfast13 is located? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Capt Jeff Long Rome Air Development Center longj@lonex.radc.af.mil Network Design Laboratory jlong@cassiopeia.radc.af.mil (315)330-7751 or (DSN)587-7751
