Hi there folks. Just a few questions on some bits and pieces that I need some help with.. (Please) 1. I am currently learning GEM, and want to know how one implements a scrolling list, as in the file selector. I would be extremely grateful for any help here. 2. I also asked recently for any help with hard disk set-ups - one chap replied and said "Not enough info..", so here goes. 520 STFM (to be upgraded to 2.5 MB in a week) 48 MB Triangle Turbo 3 HD Star LC 24-10 Printer Mono monitor I (mainly) use : Gulam Sozobon C ( and want to use gcc after memory upgrade ) FirstWord (well, it does the job..) I may use Gemini, Neodesk or my own shell using MiNT.(dunno yet) All I want is some suggestions for useful (and sensible ) partitioning and directory structures. Ta. 3. When I write my shell using MiNT, I want to use XARGS, but I dont know the standard implementation details - I guess I mean the standard format. Can anyone help me here ? Thanks in advance, ( I saw some guy write 'thaADVANCEnks' - isn't that the wrong way round ? ) Dave Dawkins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David J Dawkins | If you email, please use the following (mine is screwed) Reading University | adp@uk.ac.reading.cs.csug OR United Kingdom | adp%uk.ac.reading.cs.csug@uk.ac.nfsnet-relay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
