That link will then lead you to the next link if you select the MDOS & GPL manual. If you are having issues, it is either taking a while for your browser to download the pdf, or I would have to ask what browser you are using if nothing displays. Beery BTW, your NEW website is very attractive and easy to navigate. I think it's wonderful ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw any examples in this book on that. Are there examples and code commands anywhere, other than basic MDOS commands.? thank you. im still searching.. so is general programing going to be tied to those GENxxx manuals? is that what im missing maybe? I'll print those out and try to figure out what this is all about. Yes, general programming is tied to those manuals. You should find yourself several source code examples for programming in MDOS. Various utilities have been written that show the initial memory acquisition and use of the XOP's that are invaluable for getting a newby started. Then, the information in the GenXXX manuals will make more sense. The GenRefVID has details on graphics drawing, but first, you need to get the basics of setting up a program.

Hmm, I use DM2K with the GPL interpreter, at full speed launching from rompage using the Editor/Assembler module, and have no problem with the cursor. This is the first report I have heard of the issue you are describing. Might not hurt to post a video showing your bootup of MDOS and your process for launching DM2K to see what you may be doing differently. I am told EXEC as well as GPL in the next release of MDOS will have some changes to deal with a files issue that has been there likely for 30+ years that have only been recently observed in some of the more recent MDOS testing. I'm not the one maintaining EXEC or GPL, so no ideas if command line switches are even a possibility. Beery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dhe Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Are TASM/TIC/Fortran on the list to go under the programming section? There was also the wonderful, but little used hyperstack by McCann? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dhe Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Maybe <- That's what we call a big maybe. Something to look forward to... McCann Software produced a number of leading edging packages for the Geneve. After McCann left the TI world, the rights to reproduce software was sold to Dee Turner. At some point, Dee also purchased Mac McCormick's WDS System, then later, I purchased it from Dee. At this point that WDS - in Unknown Condition has been sent to Jim for his touch. So maybe in the future, there might be more source and or packages come to light. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dhe Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Jim might know the answer to your questions, I don't, I just purchased the Western Digital Drive, for all I know, Dee, might have formatted it before he sent it to me. I've also have not heard from Dee, in over twenty years. Not Geneve related, but I did get an email from Bruce Maret (also of Indiana, as was at one point Dee). Bruce is still around and probably has the foremost collection of faire video's any where - as he ended up filming most of them! ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 OK, I thought your comments indicated you acquired those rights. I've got TPA, TGA, and HQ Stacks, as well as MDOS Forth. Wasn't sure of the first three, and the fourth (MDOS Forth), I know it has been out there and my thoughts were was distributable. Wasn't sure about the first three, and it was just earlier this week I happened to stumble across HQ Stacks. Beery 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Beery do you have HyperCopy source? I have the archives for it if not. Might be another good one to publish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use DM2K at speed 5 regularly without any issue. As for command line switches for EXEC and GPL, I have considered it but the two programs operate slightly differently under the hood, so I won't look at them until after Beery and I release the upcoming OS beta. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 No problem with using the program that I can tell, just a very fast flashing cursor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
