[comp.sys.atari.st] Gulam and Cauxin Cauxout

Graeme.Dixon@newcastle.ac.uk (Graeme Dixon) (05/16/89)

Can anyone tell me why a program that uses Cauxin/Cauxout ceases
to work when run from gulam ?

It doesn't reconfigure the serial port, but works fine with the
default initialisations outside gulam. What does gulam do to the
serial port?

Thamks in advance

Gulam redirects handle 2 (which is AUX: in the desktop) to point to the console
(CON:) and uses this as standard error channel. Nothing else is done to the
serial port. Your program seems to use handle 2 assuming that it points to the
AUX-port. Try "prog 2>AUX:" to get stderr redirected to the serial port again.

Hope this helps
