- The man most directly responsible for this twaddle was Rod Whiteley, who did
- thus comment on GUIExt on the night of 02-Oct-97:
-
- -> Just a quick question for the GUIExt Experts:
-
- Ooh, fire away...
-
- -> I'm currently porting all of the AMOSPro apps I use here at work to use the
- -> GUIExt. This means that I currently need to use standard AMOSPro and
- -> AMOSPro+GuiExt alternately. My problem is there seems to be no way to end a
- -> programme, and kill AMOSPro altogether (to give control back to the
- workbench
- -> with no trace of AMOSPro still running).
-
- I dont quite get what you mean exactly here. Are you trying to quit out of
- AMOS
- and shut it down altogether, or just hide it from view. If you use the AMOS TO
- BACK/AMOS TO FRONT commands in your progams, the AMOSPro editor will shift to
- the back, giving workbench back etc. To quit the AMOSPro from within a
- program,
- use any command which would end a session in the editor, such as END, EDIT,
- DIRECT etc.
-
- -> Sure I can hide the AMOSProit when it
- -> finishes, but if someone starts another app from the workbench, then AMOS
- is
- -> still in the background (at the editor displaying the last line of the
- prog.)
-
- >From this, it would sound like you are not compiling your programs with the
- compiler. I am selling the AMOSPro compiler now for around 14 UK pounds, go to
- WWW.mushy-pd.demon.co.uk for more details.
-
- To make your program shut down AMOSPro altogether from the editor, you should
- use the SYSTEM command, but beware, this will completely shut AMOS down.
-
- -> This would be O.K. but AMOSPro doesn't let me do this reliably (disc access
- -> always means a crash), and I guess I'm chewing up a whole bunch of memory
- each
- -> time. What to do?
-
- The GUI Extension compiler patch allows you to compile programs, and also
- allows
- you to run any number of AMOS programs together, without messing any of them
- up,
- its really quite amazing. It doesnt use a whole lot of memory either when you
- compile your programs.
-
- -> TIA,
- -> Rod
- -> By and by, how do I get a hold of v1.63?
-
- The V1.63 is only available to beta testers at the moment, as pietro is still
- adding a few more cunning commands to it. When it comes out, it will be
- available from my AMOS FTP site.
