I've pared the program test.c down to the bare essentials:
main()
{
printf("This is a test\n");
}
When I compile this under Lattice C 5.10 with the command
lc -L test
everything works as expected. However, when I compile it with the command:
lc -Lamiga test
When I run the program with the command "test," nothing happens. I am returned
to my AmigaDOS prompt, with no string having been printed.
Can anybody tell me what the heck is going on here?
On a related note, could anybody direct me to a decent reference on using the
AmigaDOS functions from C? All I want to do is raipdly read a binary file
into a memory buffer. The Amiga O/S is new to me, and I am not familiar with
all its quirks. And I don't seem to have a reference on hand that would care
to explain any of these quirks regarding reading files.
Thanks,

I was bitten by a similar problem with BSD UNIX and found that 'test' was a reserved word. Although I had a clean compile, the 'test' I was executing wasn't the 'test' I had compiled! ---Mike -- | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD My Karma ran over your Dogma! | DLA Systems Automation Center | Cols, Ohio mfigg@dsac.dla.mil | CIS: 73777,360
