I realize that this was resolved a few weeks ago, but of course it didn't matter then. I have started playing with some message ports, and the errors have just started cascading in with the exec includes. Rushed help would be appreciated, Ken P.S. The whole point of this excersize is to write a new ed (starter for CygnusEd) that will when called with an arguement (while ced is already loaded) will just open a ced view for that file, instead of asking to start a new ced process. If this improvement has been made my anybody, let me know and save me this hassle! Also let me know if I am doing something stupid with Ced that this is not the automatic responce. CygnusEd 2.12 Sas C 5.01a Remember what I want is the most economical way to ed file1 ... when ced is already installed, without explicitly going to the ced screen for an 'AMIGA-o' Thanks

Um, I just tried that, and that's exactly what "ed" does. If you have Ced already running, then "ed" opens a new view in the existing Ced screen or window. Running "ced" a second time gives you a second Ced process. Are you sure you don't have "ed" aliased to "ced" or something?

When >ed is run without arguements it does what you described. > > Ken This is getting interesting to me. Ken, the behavior you mention above is not correct -- but sometimes I get the same behavior on my system! CORRECT BEHAVIOR: Whether or not Ed is given filename parameters it should activate the currently loaded Ced "instance"; if there is no loaded Ced "instance", ed loads Ced. If you load an instance of Ced, and then type % Ced foo you will get a requestor warning you that a copy of ced is running. INCORRECT BEHAVIOR: Ed does not see the current "instance" of Ced in memory. Everytime you invoke Ed, it tries to load a new "instance" of Ced. As I mentioned above, I get this bogus behavior once in a blue moon. I have no idea why it happens. Does anyone out there have any ideas? I've got an A1000, Supra 4x4 + Quantum 80S, Microbotics StarBoardII w/2Megs, KickStart Eliminator, CedPro v 2.11 (I think -- its been patched with the files on ab20). Thanks!

When >ed is run without arguements it does what you described. Did you check to see that you haven't aliased "ed" to "ced"? "Ed" works just fine. Go back to your original CED disk and run the "ed" off that. Be sure of the software you're running. Also, what version of CygnusEd Pro do you have. I'd recommend upgrading to the latest (2.12 is what I have). > Ken Peter -- Peter Cherna, Operating Systems Development Group, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.
