From: thelake!steve@stag.UUCP (Steve Yelvington) While testing Ian Lepore's GEMFAST bindings with Sozobon C, I discovered that he has implemented the VDI extended device inquiry function as vq_extend(h,f,w) instead of vq_extnd(h,f,w). Don Farmer's GEMQ bindings and the two reference books I have here (Pollack & Weber's "Atari ST Applications Programming" and SRM Enterprises' "Tackle Box ST") all describe the standard name as vq_extnd, but I have noticed the alternate spelling in a number of programs I've run across. Also, I think Mark Johnson's libraries also may use the variant spelling. Is this a typo or an unresolved disagreement? If there is one true spelling for the function call, I'd like to know it. * Watch that return address!

Mark Williams uses vq_extnd, but the manual even notes that in some bindings, the routine is called vq_extend. Just one more case of poorly set up abbrevs (should have been called vq_xtnd of course :-) to be consistent). ******************************************************************************** * Todd Burkey-trb@stag |Man: What's a million years like?
