I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has written a user output
routine to replace the main output routine in the print symbiont. I have
done this, but the symbiont exits with an access violation AFTER my output
routine has successfully completed with SS$_NORMAL for the first output
record. I would like to see a working output routine to see if there is
anything I am misunderstanding.
Many thanks.

We have a working (but not completely bug-free) modified symbiont that is written in C. The best way of writing/debugging this type of problem is to set yourself up so that you can use the debugger. The modified symbiont is run as part of a detached process. By reassigning DBG$INPUT and DBG$OUTPUT (in the system table), you can run the debugger on it and yes, even see source. By the way, before you ask, our print symbiont does something very site-specific. ;-) Tony Li - USC University Computing Services "Fene mele kiki bobo" Uucp: oberon!tli -- Joe Isuzu Bitnet: tli@uscvaxq, tli@ramoth Internet: tli@sargas.usc.edu
