Hello!
Well, yet again I make my annual bid for window help in
Fortran. Last time, I was given a very nice way to open
a con: window using standard f77 open commands. It works
quite well.
But now I am ready for the big time. I looked at PowerWindows,
but they don't support Fortran (unless they updated recently?)
And, I do not have the Amiga ROM Kernal Manuals (horrors!)
What I wish is to open windows for text output, boolean gadgets,
string gadgets, and integer gadgets. I would prefer a window
hooked to the Workbench, actually, so I don't need to know how
to open screens. Likewise, I don't need graphics calls... just
intuition.
However, looking through ye old AC/Fortran77 Manual, the amazing
book that has all but no index, I can't figure out how to piece
things together. My attempts keep crashing the system (actually,
sometimes it crashes more then I've ever seen a machine crash...)
Any help, sample source code, etc would be helpful... most advice
since just parrotting someone's source makes it hard to add changes
later!
Note-- advice like "learn C" or "forget using Windows in f77!" will
be ignored, they aren't answers, just ranting. I realize there are
few fortran planners, but there must be SOME!
