 Small computers, small problems.

Actually, inside the ELKS kernel, inodes numbers are 32 bits in size, it is
only in stat.h and minux fs that it is 16 bit. This is all i really need since
userland programs don't access files using inode numbers :)

Re: Microwindows for Hercules

1999-07-18 Thread Alan Cox

   No need.  MicroWindows handles the Bresenham algorithm in the mid
 level code in devdraw.c.  It uses successive calls to drawpixel to make it work.
 In this way, people like you and me don't have to rewrite bresenham for every
 card someone wants

The code in devdraw.c is very naiive. It assumes pixel plotting is the underlyin
op. On many cards line slices are the underlying operation, horizontal or
vertical. What you probably want to do is generate a series of

draw_horizontal(x,y,l)

or
draw_vertical(x,y,l)

calls for most things

 This might be useful when bitblt is implemented though...

Having 32K of offscreen memory is always useful.

 The source code for GEM desktop is AVAILABLE?! I've always wanted it!
 Where!!?!?!

Caldera released it , CP/M and some other oddments from the DR-DOS pile under
a no commercial use license.

CP/M is elegant code. CP/M 68K is really nice. GEM is just plain ick



Microwin Mouse

1999-07-18 Thread Thomas Stewart

I have got a mouse to work in mirowin at last! dont know if it was me or 
what, I could not for the life of me get any mouse to work. So in dispare I 
tryed my 10 year old genus mouse in 3-button mode in "pc" mode and it 
worked!

anyway I just thought I would say because there were some people having some 
probs and I thought it might help fix them.
