[comp.sys.atari.st] Crawio

roeder@sbsvax.UUCP (Edgar Roeder) (07/25/88)

Can one of the BETA-testers for the new TOS-release answer the following
question: what is the output of the following program under the new TOS ?

	    #include <osbind.h>
	    #define Stdout	1
	    #define PRN	-3

	    main()
	    {
		    int	f;

		    Crawio('A');

		    Fforce(Stdout,PRN);
		    Crawio('B');

		    f = Fopen("file.tst",2);
		    Fforce(Stdout,f);
		    Crawio('C');
	    }

In the older versions this little program crashes the ST after printing 'A' on
the monitor and 'B' on the printer.
      Should Crawio() be redirectable or not ?
      - If yes, then 'C' has to appear in the file.
      - If not, then 'B' and 'C' have to appear on the screen.

This was addressed and fixed: Crawio is fully redirectable and doesn't
crash any more.  I believe this was noted in the release notes posted
here a long time ago.  Thank you for your concern, though.  It's a little
late in the release process to get major changes in, but if there are
little things you're afraid we may have overlooked, please MAIL to
me with your ideas.

Thank you.
