[comp.sys.atari.st] AES Command - APPL_FIND?

nut@wet.UUCP (adam tilghman) (12/20/89)

Does anyone out there in netland know of the proper parameters to pass for
the AES function APPL_FIND? I am a starving student/shareware programmer,
and not having the funds to pay for a full developership, have had to rely
on ST Internals (an Abacus book).  Just the parameters are needed, as I
have Tom Hudson's excellent tutorial from STart...

Many thanks!

The format of the appl_find function is as follows:

int appl_find( name )
char name[9];

name is the name of the application you are trying to find, without the
extension and all in upper-case letters.  It is always 8 characters
plus the final null character.  (eg. if you are looking for 'example.prg'
then name should point to the string "EXAMPLE ".  (don't forget the 
blank character to pad it to 8 chars.)

This info is a paraphrased version of the description given in the 
Mark Williams C Manual.
