Subject: Simulating keyboard input & PowerPacker decrunch
Hi...Some questions of a friend of mine follow... => pleaZe e-mail
eventual answers, so I can easily send them to him...
________________________________________________________________
Here are a couple of problems that I'm not able to work out. Maybe some of
you guys can help me... Thanks.
1. How #@*!!'@#%$ can I send a string from my task to CLI and have the CLI
interpreting it as if it's typed on the keyboard?
If I put the string directly into CLI command buffer, nothing happens;
If I send any packet to CLI, the guru pop out saying 'Unexpected packet
received'.
I hope the solution is NEITHER use the WRITEEVENT command of Input.device
for each char in the string (RAW converted, obviously...), NOR define
an alternate keymap with a key, let's say F1, related to my string and
then WRITEEVENT that F1 is pressed.
2. I'm programming a text-reader and I want it to decrunch PowerPacker data
files, but I have no clues at all on this. I'd like to have a source (asm
or C) of a program doing this. Is there one? Where can I eventually find
it (FTP sites, for Examples...)
BTW: I own an A2000 A version, OS 1.2, 2 drives & 1.5 Meg.
