I could really use examples of handlers for the software trap vectors. Let's
just say that the documentation I have available isn't entirely clear or
consistent. Specifically, if anyone would care to post fragments in C or
assembler that did the following 2 functions, I probably wouldn't be the
only person grateful to see them:
1) Attempts to read from a floppy disk. If there is no disk in the drive,
writes a message to the screen and waits for a keypress, then retries the
original read (etc until satisfied). The built-in 'drive not responding'
alert is never activated.
2) Accepts input into a string with Cconrs (do I have the name right? I
never remember such things, and my manuals are elsewhere). If control
C is pressed it intercepts the terminate vector and does something
sensible (like clearing the input string and starting over).
Thanks.
