Subject: inquiry on current versions of C compilers
In the process of shopping around for a C compiler,
I would like to know what the latest releases of Megamax,
Mark Williams and Lattice are. I know some retailers
would just *love* to get rid of their oldies.
Thanks,
Didier.

Subject: Lost disk sectors
To: info-atari16@score.stanford.edu
I wrote a little program to display the FAT (File Allocation Table)
on a disk that appeared to be completely full and was surprised
to see the last two clusters (= 4 sectors) free. Looking at the
data itself confirmed that they were unused. Doing a little
arithmetic, I came up with the following: When formatting a SS disk,
TOS announces 357376 bytes free. Floppy disk space is allocated
in clusters of 2 sectors = 1024 bytes, so 357376 bytes = 349 clusters
= 698 sectors. Add to that 1 for the boot sector, 5 for each of
the 2 copies of the FAT, and 7 for the root directory, and you get
a total of 716 sectors. A standard format disk has 80 tracks times
9 sectors per track for a total of 720 sectors, so indeed there is
a discrepency of 4. Similar results apply to a DS disk: TOS
announces 726016 bytes free = 709 clusters = 1418 sectors. Add
to it the 18 sectors at the beginning to get 1436 sectors, 4 less
that the 1440 on a raw disk.
Has anybody else noticed this before? Is it a TOS bug? If so,
has it been fixed in the newer ROMs?

Here is a little note which Konrad sent with the new versions of HDB & GEMBOOT.
--------------------------------------------------- Mike Vederman
Hello Mike,
to reduce transatlantic email I send you the newest versions of GEMBOOT and
HDB.
HDB V2.3 has same minor improvements:
- deselect floppy (the ROM startup code leaves the floppy drives selected
till first access)
- optional switch to floppy boot if a special key combination is pressed
during boot
New features of GEMBOOT V1.10 (compared to V1.08) are:
- incremental add of folder cache blocks during directory scan
- indicates free directory cache space left after login
- adjustable size of DESKTOP environment buffer
- definition of DESKTOP environment variables within GEMBOOT.INF
- optional use of batch shell other than COMMAND.TOS
- new program GEMFRL.TOS to locate and print the GEMDOS internal free
lists

Please use your interactive message facility to talk to atarinet. Use:
tell uh-info at uhupvm1 atarinet help (from CMS) -or-
send/remote uhupvm1 uh-info "atarinet help" (from VAX/VMS, JNET 2.0 or less)
-or-
send uh-info@uhupvm1 "atarinet help" (VAX/VMS, JNET 3.0 or greater)
You can only access ATARINET interactively on BITNET. If you do not have
interactive messages (and are on BITNET) or you are on another net, please
send a note requesting the files you want to:
UACE0 at UHUPVM1 (that's a zero)
Large requests will certainly take a lot of time to process.

Subject: Uniterm vs EasyDraw metafiles
To: info-atari16@score.stanford.edu
X-Original-To: "info-atari16@score.stanford.edu", FXDDR
I've been looking at the metafiles that Uniterm can generate when used with
GDOS. The metafiles work very nicely with the DRI OUTPUT.PRG that EasyDraw
supplies...I've had excellent results using OUTPUT.PRG to send graphics to
the HP LaserJet. However, trying to read the files into EasyDraw (v 2.06)
gets nowhere.
As far as I can tell EasyDraw is very narrow minded about the scaling it will
accept. Does anybody know of a program or procedure that will make Uniterm
metafiles acceptable to EasyDraw?

I'm curious if there are any utilities for the HP LaserJet (series II,

for it. I've set up a simple print program to allow printing in the
available fonts and orientations.

Subject: What's the latest version of the Sac?
To: info-atari16@score.stanford.edu
About 2 weeks ago I ordered the Magic Sac from Computer Games + in Orange,
CA. The fellow who took my order assured me that he had the latest version
of the Sac, and that his price ($99!) included the Mac 64K ROMs! Needless
to say, I placed my order and waited for the package to arrive the next day
via UPS (I live in Torrance - about an hour away from Orange). Well, to
make a long story short, the Sac didn't arrive until yesterday (at least a
week late), it didn't have the Mac ROMs, and it appears to be version 2.0!
If I'm not mistaken, the latest version should be somewhere around 4.2x by
now.
Can anyone out there tell me what the latest version should be? Also, does
anyone know of a place in the L.A. area where I can get some Mac ROMs?
Thanks a bundle in advance.
-Rich

Another way to get into protected memory is the use of the Super() function.
Goes sumpn like this:
long savestack;
savestack=Super(0L);
fiddle_around_with_protected_memory();
Super(savestack);

Indeed, you don't need sizeof(STRUCTURE) to increment the pointer
to the next or any other structure.
Just saying:
next+=n;
sets the pointer to the n'th next structure.
This is because every pointer+integer operation always adds
integer*sizeof(pointer object) to the pointer, so you don't have to care
for the size of the object. This goes for pointer++ as well as for
foo=pointer+5.
next=this+sizeof(STRUCTURE)
will set the pointer sizeof(STRUCTURE) structures further, probably
to neverland.
I doubt, if this was your intention.
