In article <861006-042116-3507@Xerox> Ulrich.wbst@XEROX.COM writes: -Balma and Fitler's book contains references to three Gem Functions that -are available on the IBM version of Gem. These functions are not listed -in the Abacus book. They are: - -appl_find -appl_tplay -appl_trecord - -Are they missing from the Atari implementation? - -Denny They are present in the Atari implementation. There are bugs in appl_find (see the gem bug list that a posted a few days ago), where appl_find will find an application even if the application goes away, until another application is loaded. If you caught Mark Skapnniker's (sp?) article in the new STarT, he comments that appl_t* functions are very inefficient. Did you notice that the Balma and fitler book are missing all the vdi input and vext_* functions. I wonder why? Anyway, when in doubt never trust those brain damaged Abacus books!! -- usenet: .....!decvax!cwruecmp!bammi jwahar r. bammi csnet: bammi@case arpa: bammi%case@csnet-relay compuServe: 71515,155
