I have ported a GEM application from the IBM to the Atari. Works
just fine, except support for the printers was not the same or
there in a vanilla Atari system -- I was told I needed GDOS.
When GDOS is installed (version 1.1) the work_out array parameters
are ALL ZEROS after a v_opnvwk() call. Also it appears that
the AES is not set up correctly and many VDI calls don't work!
If I get rid of GDOS all is well, except that I don't have the
nice GEM printer support I'm looking for (I do have a basic
printer driver working using Cconout-like functions).
What is going on? Is GDOS used by anyone (or is it USEABLE by
anyone)? Hints on programming with GDOS for Atari LaserJet?
Any info would be appreciated.
(I have tried this on a 520ST and a MEGA4 ST. I have GDOS 1.1
and am using Aztec C and bindings).

Believe me... GDOS does* work... -- ||| Ken Badertscher (ames!atari!kbad) ||| Atari R&D System Software Engine / | \ #include <disclaimer>
