The subject line kind of says it; I saw these two on Pindarus, and was wondering: 1. What does the gnobug init fix? 2. What is direct256.root supposed to be (besides a OMF file:)? Thanks. --Devin Reade glyn@cs.ualberta.ca

If you are using Orca/C 1.3 or earlier, this is to allow you to force your program to use the stack that GS/OS allocates, rather than the one Orca allocates. C 2.0 fixes this. To use it with pre-2.0, just #pragma stacksize #, and make sure to link the direct.256 file with your other object modules. >--Devin Reade glyn@cs.ualberta.ca -- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | James Brookes | Inet: bb252@cleveland.freenet.edu | |``What, me worry?'' - A.

Close.. it makes GSBug's OS call trapping work with GNO. -- Jawaid Bazyar | Ask me about the GNO Multitasking Environment Procyon, Inc. | for the Apple IIgs! bazyar@cs.uiuc.edu | P.O Box 620334 --Apple II Forever!-- | Littleton, CO 80162-0334 (303) 933-4649

No. cleanstart does that (now obsolete due to 2.0). direct256.root just makes the non-used direct page segment small (256 bytes as opposed to 4k). The program still uses the stack allocated by ORCA/C via the MM, but it does not waste that much stack space as it did before. Anyway, this is a moot point, as no one should use 1.3 now that 2.0 is out :) Soenke -- =========================================================================== More than silver, more than gold, I need ! behrenss@informatik. electricity.
