These are excerps from my sup32.lib support library, recently distributed to comp.sources/binaries.amiga: rval = AutoAllocMiscResource(resno, value) resno: MR_SERIALPORT, SERIALBITS, PARALLELPORT, or PARALLELBITS value: -1 to allocate, 0 to check. This functions allocates or checks the specified resource. 0 (ZERO) is returned on SUCCESS (allocated or could allocate), NON-ZERO is returned if the resource is already allocated by somebody else. (void)= AutoFreeMiscResource(resno) Free's a resource you allocated. YOU MUST OWN THE RESOURCE! Neither of these functions require you to open the misc.resource resource. ; ; EXEC resource support ; 4(sp) 8(sp) ; AutoAllocMiscResource(resno, value) ; resno: MR_SERIALPORT, SERIALBITS, PARALLELPORT, PARALLELBITS ; value: -1 to allocate, 0 to check ; ; returns 0 on success ; ; AutoFreeMiscResource(resno) ; 4(sp) ; Free a misc resource you allocated ; ; No need to open the misc.resource public _AutoAllocMiscResource public _AutoFreeMiscResource public _LVOOpenResource FAR DATA _AutoAllocMiscResource: move.l A6,-(sp) bsr OpenMiscResource beq amfail move.l 8(sp),D0 move.l 12(sp),A1 jsr -6(A6) bra amret amfail moveq.l #-1,D0 amret move.l (sp)+,A6 rts _AutoFreeMiscResource: move.l A6,-(sp) bsr OpenMiscResource beq fmret move.l 8(sp),D0 jsr -12(A6) fmret move.l (sp)+,A6 rts OpenMiscResource: move.l 4,A6 lea.l MiscName,A1 jsr _LVOOpenResource(A6) move.l D0,A6 tst.l D0 rts MiscName: dc.b "misc.resource",0
