- A few notes on what you'll find in the program files...
-
-
- The source code for the StartUp/CloseDown Resource Allocation and
- Deallocation example is the file 'MAIN.C'. Normally I wouldn't place
- the images/static-definitions stuff in the same file as the program code
- (they'd be in a separate header file), but for example purposes it's just
- easier to give you a single source file !
-
- The compiled version (Lattice) is called MAIN and it'll run from either
- the CLI or the WorkBench. As you'll see from the source code this program
- needs access to the diskfont.library and to the 'bocklin' font.
-
- If, when you run the program, you actually see a display then the
- begin_block() routine has found everything it needs. If you find yourself
- back at the CLI or WorkBench without seeing anything then the program has
- come across a problem (no chip memory, no diskfont library, no font etc.),
- given up, and shut itself down.
-
- Don't forget... if you move the program to another disk you must make sure
- that your boot-up disk contains the abovementioned font !

- Amiga Format note:
-
- The fonts directory on the cover disk contains the above mentioned Bocklin
- font. So, copy the fonts directory on the coverdisk to your Workbench
- bootdisk. Very sorry that Paul_Overaa's Main program will not work off the
- coverdisk, but if it did it would defeat the object of the exercise, which
- is to show how to write Good Amiga code which doesn't throw a wobbler when
- it can't find a file!
