I was wondering if anyone knew of a book on how to use Pascal and
the GS/OS toolbox. I inquired at a number of computer stores and
found nothing for specific Pascal.

That is, as you most likely know, Pascal is a language that is very portable in its most basic form. Learn standard Pascal first. Get a book such as "Oh! Pascal".. (Personally I'd recommend you take the time to learn C now since C is what's used in the "Real world"... Pascal teaches you structured programming, but you could jump straight into C if you have the discipline) Then when you know regular C or Pascal, much of the ToolBox will make sense because they're "just" regular functions you call like any function you write yourself. The only other book I would suggest is the "Programmer's Introduction to the Apple IIGS" which teaches the new ideas that are used when programming the GS. (And most of the knowledge is transferrable to the Mac.. This is good to say on job applications I would guess, especially for Apple... For example, something like "I know the Apple IIGS Toolbox. Since it is inherently virtually identical to the programming Toolbox used on the Macintosh, it would be easy for me to transfer my knowledge into programming the Macintosh if required"... No matter how we may not like it, not all of us will be able to program the GS for a living!) -- /Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu MAIL ME FOR INFO ABOUT CHEAP CDs\ \WRITE TO ORIGIN ABOUT ULTIMA VI //e and IIGS!

Try "Instant Pascal" by someone I can't remember... I know it's the only one by that name... You should also get the ToolBox references 1,2, and 3. Those should help you out as far as Pascal Literature. -Joshie EMT /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | INET: jlevitsky@gnh-applesauce.cts.com | Drive safely; | | | 90% of the people| | UUCP: crash!pnet01!gnh-applesauce!jlevitsky | in the world | | | are created by | | ARPA: crash!pnet01!gnh-applesauce!jlevitsky@nosc.mil | accidents | \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/

It's really a graphical environment for learning Pascal. I doubt that it was intended for programming purposes.

When I said "Instant Pascal" I realized my error AFTER hitting the damn ".s"! I hate it when that happens. I would recoment "Oh Pascal!" by someone who I forget. I don't know why "Instant Pascal" was bouncing in my head... maybe one too many emergency calls late at nite. -Joshie EMT /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | INET: jlevitsky@gnh-applesauce.cts.com | Drive safely; | | | 90% of the people| | UUCP: crash!pnet01!gnh-applesauce!jlevitsky | in the world | | | are created by | | ARPA: crash!pnet01!gnh-applesauce!jlevitsky@nosc.mil | accidents | \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/

A Quick question or two here....
a little while back, I ftp'd the scanf.c source code, and have since
been able to implement it into my HyperC programs, etc. But, the
only way that I have been able to make it work is to remove the
#include <std.h> line in the source code itself.. Then whenever I
want to include it in one of my programs, I do a #include <scanf.c>.
Unfortunately, this is VERY slow and tedious to do every time I need
to recompile a program using that routine. So, is there any way I
can get around this?? Is there someway I could compile the scanf
routine which would make for quicker compiling times when I used the
function in mmy other programs??
Any help will be greatly appreciated.. Please respond via email
if at all possible..
Alan
