[comp.sys.atari.st] receiving interrupts in an user program

abi@dutinfd.UUCP (04/02/87)

It would be nice if during execution of a program an interrupt would occur
at regular intervals. The xbios call Xbtimer should make this possible,
but the only result is a crash at timer A and a crash after a number of
interrupts at timer D. Even updating a counter as the only action is to much.
I assume there is some way to use this routine properly, but how?
Can someone who has used this routine with more succes than I have show me
how to do it properly, preferably with an example?

Thanks, Ton Biegstraaten
