I’m a bit surprized to have this issue out so soon after the last issue. But, the source code from Herb Schaaf’s article and the C Beautifier made for quite a few pages. Since it was enough to fill an issue, here it is.
Some of you may have noticed that last month’s issue had the wrong year on it. I guess I was so used to seeing 1990 that it did not dawn on me until a friend pointed it out to me. Oh, well, such is life.
As far as future programs I’m working on, the last couple of days I have been working on QDOS functions for Lattice C. Lattice C is very lacking in QDOS functions like those found in SuperBasic and Small-C. Using the QDOS traps, all QDOS functions should be able to be written in Lattice C. Herb has done a few that I have seen. Using a book on QDOS calls for all traps, I have written functions for the easiest QDOS functions. I’m currently stuck trying to get the functions to work. I’ve tried a number of things and nothing seems to work. I’ll let it rest a few days and then try it again.
If any of you have written functions similar to this, let me know. I’m interested in seeing how you were able to implement them. I want the functions to have the same name as those found in Small-C. This way programs can be written for both compilers with minimal changes to the code.
That’s about all I have to say for now. Hope to see articles from more of you.
