I've started on my trek to program 2.0 specific programs. I am using Manx
5.0d with the Manx 2.0 Include files. I was looking through some of the
source code to the 2.0 term program by Olaf Barthel (or however it's spelled)
and find a call to a library routine (Amiga.lib?) called OpenScreenTags (). I
am trying to open a full blown newlook screen and for the life of me can't get
anything but an unknown screen type guru. I can't find any reference to this
OpenScreenTags () call in any of my pragmas and can't find it in any of Olaf's
files. any help from anyone out there? the guru is 8500 0009, which
according to my RKM's is an unknown screen type. here is a fragment.
struct TagItem scrtags[7] = {{SA_Overscan, OSCAN_TEXT},{SA_Pens, ~0},
{SA_FullPalette, TRUE},{SA_Type, CUSTOMSCREEN},
{SA_Title, "BBS Screen"},{SA_Width, 640},
{TAG_END, NULL}};
struct NewScreen myscreen = {0, 0, 640, 200,3,1,0,HIRES,CUSTOMSCREEN,NULL,
"BBS Screen", NULL, NULL};
if ((scr = OpenScreenTagList (myscreen, &scrtags)) == NULL)
So does anyone have any ideas? this is a headache.

Do not pass it a ~0. You want: UWORD mypens[] = { /* set up your pen choices if any, here */ ~0, /* terminator */ }; Then later, {SA_Pens, mypens}, >So does anyone have any ideas? this is a headache. This guru usually appears if you have a bad NewWindow.Type. Check that.

I'm not sure that scrtags requires an ampersand since it is an array but I'm not familiar with the new 2.0 calls.

I've tried to email you the answer, but the mail keeps bouncing. pnet51 has no idea who you are :-(. Anyways, here's the answer: You've pointed your SA_Pens at an array of ULONGs, but it's supposed to point to an array of UWORDs. Every second pen will come out zero, the way you have it. >INET: chucks@pnet51.orb.mn.org 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.

Yes, we have (in the last week) had problem at our site recieving mail. no-one has gotten any mail in. thank you for posting this publicly (thank you all who put up with it being posted publicly). I should go get a lobotomy or something, it might help the brain flow. again, thanks UUCP: {amdahl!tcnet, crash}!orbit!pnet51!chucks ARPA: crash!orbit!pnet51!chucks@nosc.mil INET: chucks@pnet51.orb.mn.org
