[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] GEMFAST 1.5

steve@thelake.mn.org (Steve Yelvington) (06/23/91)

Good news for Sozobon users!

I have just mailed GEMFAST 1.5 off to atari.archive.umich.edu.

Included are:

GEMFST15.LZH	GEMFAST 1.5 libraries for Sozobon, Alcyon, assembler
		the binary aesfast.a and vdifast.a files, with .h, docs

GEMFUT15.LZH	GEMFAST 1.5 utilities, extensions in C source code form

GEMFXM15.LZH	GEMFAST 1.5 example programs, C source code

The last file includes an easy-to-use module for ``thermometer''
progress displays, similar to the Desktop's disk formatter. Read the
code as well as the documentation, because the docs are wrong. :-)

I have not yet located the version 1.5 GEMFSC (MadMac assembler
source) file, and indeed I don't even know if Ian Lepore released it.
If anybody has the sources, PLEASE make them available.

(DISCLAIMER: The use of LZH does not constitute an endorsement. That
is the format in which I received the files. I still consider LZH a
disaster area.)

On a different note, I also have the Atari XCONTROL.ACC and related
files, which (finally!) has been released for those of us who don't
own TT030 or Mega STE machines. If no one has yet uploaded that
archive, I can send it. I'm running it right now under TOS 1.4 and,
so long as I don't let it load the TT and STE-specific sound and
window color CPX modules, it works fine.

I hope that you sent a copy off to comp.sources.atari.st.  I have no
ftp access from our site and BART apparently sends sends mail to me
in such a way that it never gets to me.  So comp.sources... is me only
source of material.
