People are talkiing about TRAP #2 (BDOS). However I presume that there was never any Developer Documentation on this facility meaning - HANDS OFF!! Now people seem to be playing with it. Even Sozobon C has a bdos() but for what I don't know. Does anyone have any documentation hard or soft on TRAP #2 that they can send me. - ant PS. Has there been an update to the DevDocs from Atari that I'm not aware of. Buddha forbid that Atari Canada should notify its registered developers of anything new. How about updates to jewels like MadMac, Db, or Aln. -- ant@mks.com Anthony C Howe Mortice Kern Systems Inc. 33 King St. N., Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2L 6W9 "Fate favors fools, small children, and ships named Enterprise" - Riker

I bought a Developers' Kit some years ago when I had TOS 1.2, but when I bought TOS 1.4 last year, I just tried to read the undocumented (in my outdated kit) system calls using a disassembler. As far as bdos is concerned, I thought it was rather easy to decode. There are new bios calls etc. as is often mentioned on this net. Y Tsuji

Hmm, you should contact atari and get reregistered. It would cost you something around $75 for the updated docs.. I am not sure what the current pricing is however. * Origin: The R.I.P. (616)235-2313 [HST] (1:228/24)

I am registered developer and I haven't heard squat about any updates since TOS 1.4 and SALAD. Hell, I had to ask for the TOS 1.4 notes from Atari Canada which turned out to be photo copies of reduced photo copies which are so blurred that I have trouble reading them with a magnifying glass. I would love to know if there has been a full documentation update since TOS 1.4 that also includes information on TRAP #2 and all the other extras that have been been coming down the net from time to time. Allan or Ken, do either of you have any comment on the current state of the developer package? I feel alone up here in the north country and Atari Canada is only one hour east of Waterloo yet they never seem to have mail-outs or current information when I phone. - ant -- ant@mks.com Anthony C Howe Mortice Kern Systems Inc. 35 King St. N., Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2J 6W9 "Fate favors fools, small children, and ships named Enterprise" - Riker
