Here's a few questions for the GEM gurus...
I'm writing a TSR that is going to use GEM and a resource that will
be compiled as part of the program. It is going to be activated by
exceptions.
Question 1...
Since I won't be using rsrc_load() to load the resource, how do I tell
GEM to initialize my resource. I've never used resources in this manner
before. Essentially, how do I use my resource? I'm using Laser C Ver 2.?
and RCP 3.0. I have created the resource and had RCP create the .C and .H
files for me. The only thing in the .C file is a large unsigned char array.
Question 2...
How do I calculate the number of bytes that the program requires to pass
to the Ptermres() function.
Last question...
I assume that even though this is going to be a TSR, I still need to
make a call to appl_init(). But what about appl_exit()? I have a feeling
that I'll never use this function.
Thanks in advance! :-)

The problem is: You can't call AES from a TRAP handler. You will experience nothingbut crashes. Would it be possible to do what you want in a DA? What kind of function will the TSR perform? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Claus Brod, Am Felsenkeller 2, Things. Take. Time.

I do call the AES to throw up a dialog during an exception, but I've had no ill effects (btw: I'm using (gasp) TOS 1.0) > Would it be possible to do what you want in a DA? What kind of > function will the TSR perform? It's just a simple program which catches exceptions and puts up a dialog box containing information about the exception and the CPU registers. Someone put a program on atari.archive a couple of months ago to do this, but I was unimpressed with it. So a couple of days ago I decided that the text messages that Neodesk displayed on the screen were too crude (no offense, I _love_ Neodesk) for me - after all we're in a graphics environment, why not use it? I'm putting the finishing touches on the program and writing the docs. As soon as I put all of this together, I'm going to upload it to atari.archive. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Claus Brod, Am Felsenkeller 2, Things.
