Could someone help me with the following:-
1. WITHOUT opening a window, is there a nice way to find if the a
custom screen is the active one? The only way I know is looking
at IntuitionBase->ActiveScreen. Is this alright or is it going to
break ?
2. WITHOUT opening a window, is there a nice way to change the pointer
for the screen.
3. I want to give the option of changing the tasks priority to the priority
level of the input.device but no higher. Can I assume the task will
be called input.device and hence traverse the task ready/waiting lists
to find the priority ?
4. The trackdisk.device RAW_READ for 1.2/1.3 is said to fail in certain
circumstances. What are they? Does Setpatch correct this?
Thanks in advance,
