Hi World, I am looking to program a Targa+ in linear mode. To do so, I will be using MSC 6.0, some ASM, and the Phar Lap tools. How nasty is programming in ASM with C under Phar Lap? Is it hostile? Are there any caveats I should be aware of? Thanks Bob Zigon

If your talkin' 32 bit code, MSC 6.0 won't be of much value. You'll need something like MicroWay C or Metaware, or Zortech. PharLap tools are rather benign in a coding sense. They run your code at the highest priviledge level so things aren't a HUGE amount different than real mode. My company ported around half a million lies of FORTRAN and 100,000 lines C using MicroWay tools and PharLap extenders. All went pretty well, except for the tricks to do decent hardware mouse interfacing, but even that was not overwhelming. We don't support the Targa board, but we do run on the new SGI IrisVision boards. No problems there really either. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Tom Hite | The views expressed by me | |Manager, Product development | are mine, not necessarily | |CADSI (Computer Aided Design Software Inc. | the views of CADSI. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
