>> faster linking.. Does this mean they have dropped BLINK ?
>> OS 2.0 support..... Is it downward compatible ? ie will it run with
1.3.2

| Re: .1
I suspect that they have just improved blink to be faster.
I also suspect that Workbench 2.0 support means they ship the needed header
files and interface routines needed to access 2.0 new features. I doubt
that the compiler or programs produced using it are intrinsically 2.0
specific.
|
| 4019.3 | Yep, it works on 1.3 | FENRYS::mwm | M<ike Meyer | Wed Aug 15 1990 21:36 | 12 |
| And probably 1.2...
The "2.0 compatable" means that the software will run on what's shipping
with 3000s, and that they include everything you need to do development
for 2.0. The installation script lets you install either or both of
the 1.3 and 2.0 includes.
I haven't looked at it enough to say whether they take advantage of 2.0
features if you're running on 2.0 (especially the new directory scanning
routines), but it definitely doesn't depend on them.

| I just ordered by update over the phone (so I could get billed for
the whole thing later). When I was asked what version
I was using, I mentioned 5.04. I was told that since 5.05 was the
previous version to 5.10 (which I didn't know), They would include
the 5.05 upgrade kit for free.
Soooo I guess that if you aren't using 5.05 -- call your order in so
that you'll get the in-between upgrade kits as well. She mentioned
that any V5 kit earlier than 5.04 would have had a small extra charge
for the additional upgrade disks.

| 4019.5 | You don't need 5.05 to go to 5.10 | BUZZER::GERBER | For more info, call: 800/555-1212 | Thu Aug 30 1990 13:10 | 5 |
| You don't necessarily need 5.05 to go to 5.10 as 5.10 is a full kit.
I see no advantage to get previous versions, unless 5.10 introduces a bug
that wasn't in 5.05.

| 4019.6 | SAS/C SAS_PATCH5.10a.LZH | DECWET::DAVIS | You always get what you deserve! | Thu Jan 10 1991 13:20 | 9 |
| Last night I d/l the latest patch for SAS/C. It contains *numerous*
bug fixes. The lharc'd archive size is 325K, ~530K when uncompressed.
It brings SAS/C to V5.10a. I d/l the file from People/Link, John
Toebes(sp?) placed it there. I am wondering if it is freely
distributable since it cannot be used unless you have V5.10. Anyway,
if you are using V5.10 you want this patch release.

Not necessarily. CBM posted the WB1.3.2 upgrades to PLink,
but they definitely did NOT want them forwarded to other
BBS's. Might be best to give a quick call to SAS and find
out...

| 4019.9 | OK to post patches! | WJG::GUINEAU | | Thu Jan 10 1991 16:28 | 7 |

However, they say it's OK to post it to BBS's etc...
Please Upload it!!

| 4019.11 | warning! | WJG::GUINEAU | | Sun Jan 13 1991 10:20 | 11 |

Make sure you apply this patch using CBM's shell and NOT the arp ASHELL!!!
I normally use ASHELL. Some of the patches failed and left my compiler
in an inconsistant state. I had to reinstall the base V5.10 kit (well,
get it off a backup tape) and then install the 5.10a update using a
floppy based veersion of a virgin WB 1.3 disk...
just a warning!
john
|
| 4019.12 | Its probably the "execute" cmd | DECWET::DAVIS | You always get what you deserve! | Mon Jan 14 1991 13:52 | 17 |
| I, too, use the ARP shell and applied the patch under Ashell and
it patched the software fine. I knew the ARP "execute" command
has a problem. It will not pass more than one parameter so I
do not use it. The only problem I had with the patch was that
my LSE.DAT file was customized so when it was to be patched the
software "touched" it found that it was not original and left
it as a 0 block file.
As John suggest you *should* use the original CBM commands when
patching this software. I believe in the original distribution
of Lattice "C" there was a warning about using ARP commands when
installing their software. Sorry folks(John), I should have included
that warning. Whenever I use "canned" install/patched software I
use CBM commands exclusively due to difference in ARP and CBM
commands and assume that the software manufacturer tested the
software on stock amigas.

original and to remember how fun floppy based Amiga's are :-)

| 4019.16 | problems with 5.10a patch | MANSW1::KRAUSS | | Mon Mar 11 1991 12:39 | 13 |
| I tried to use the patchfiles yesterday, but it destroied all my
executable files in the LC: directory (actually I didn't check any
others yet). They all become 0-block-files. I am using WB 36.68 and
KS 36.143 (my dealer wasn't able to get the latest KS release yet).
I even tried to patch a backup of the original floppy-set (took about an
houre), but there were only 0-block files, too, after the patch.
Did I made a mistake or should I try to do the patch under 1.3 ?
Any guesses?
Ciao,

There was a note earlier in this string that mentioned problems with
applying the patch using something other than the distribution version of
workbench/DOS.

| 4019.18 | thougt i use the actual dis.ver. | MANSW1::KRAUSS | | Fri Mar 15 1991 05:33 | 8 |

i thougt my version is the actual distribution version, but i'll
try it with 1.3 this weekend.
thanx

| 4019.19 | WARNING: Don't use 2.0 during the patch ! | MANSW1::KRAUSS | | Mon Mar 18 1991 09:59 | 8 |
| i tried the patch yesterday with KS + WB 1.3 and it worked just fine.
does anybody know, if sas knows that their patch don't work from KS +
WB 2.0 ? if not, has anybody their e-mail adress handy ?
or is this a known problem ?
ciao,
michael

| 4019.20 | Huh??? | MADRE::MWM | | Mon Mar 18 1991 15:41 | 9 |
| What you mean, the SAS patch doesn't work on KS/WB 2.0? It worked fine for
me. However, I was running the latest version (which you can get from
your dealer for free - mine was even mailed to me!) of 2.0.
If you've got ARP installed, you'll have problems. There are known bugs
with ARP that break some CLI scripts (sorry, but I don't have the
details - I de-installed ARP shortly after installing it).

| 4019.21 | Use CBM execute command | DECWET::DAVIS | Strength through Peace | Tue Mar 19 1991 18:57 | 6 |
| I believe ARP execute doesn't like ".KEY/.BRA" directives among other
things. I renamed the ARP execute command to execute.arp. Now all
scripts I use work fine. When I want to use ARP execute I type
"execute.arp <filename>".

| 4019.22 | no arp at all | MANSW1::KRAUSS | | Fri Mar 22 1991 06:09 | 14 |
| re: .20
as i stated in .16 i am using a A3000 with the factory installed wb and
ks2.01 (KS36.143 + WB36.68). it didn't work for me in this config.
when i booted with the factory installed 1.3 partition (KS34.5 +
WB34.32) it worked just fine.
i hope to recieve the latest version of KS/WB next week from my dealer.
if i'll have the time, i'll try it again and state the result here.

| To all Lattice/SAC C users in Australia:
I got a letter from SAS Institute Australia yesterday, addressed to me as a
registered user of SAS/C Compiler for AmigaDOS. Here's the text for all you
people using Lattice or SAS C who don't get the letter.
SAS Institute Australia Pty Ltd 300 Burns Bay Road
Private Bag No. 52
LANE COVE NSW 2066
Telephone (02)428 0428

Dear Registered User,
Subject: SAS/C Compiler for AmigaDOS (formerly Lattice C Compiler) Registration
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAS Institute Inc. acquired Lattice Inc. in 1986, and since then Lattice has
been operating as a wholly owned subsidiary. From release 5.10, the Lattice C
Compiler was renamed to the SAS/C Compiler for AmigaDOS.
SAS Institute is one of the worlds (sic) largest software vendors. SAS software
is used in over 80% of mainframe sites in Australia, as well as on
minicomputers, workstations, and personal computers. In June, 1990 we decided
to consolidate our C product efforts in our Cary, NC (USA) headquarters. From
that date, all Australian administrative and technical support for the compiler
is being provided by SAS Institute Australia.
If you have any technical queries, please contact SAS Institute Australia, ask
for Amiga Technical Support, and have your registration details available. If
you are sending a letter or fax, please include a telephone number where you
can be contacted during normal office hours.
The current version of the SAS/C Compiler for AmigaDOS is 5.10A. Any registered
user of version 5.10 of the compiler is eligible to receive a free upgrade to
5.10A. A disk containing the upgrade will be mailed out on request.
If you know of any users of the compiler who may not have received this letter,
please ask them to contact SAS Institute Australia. All Australian users must
be registered with SAS Institute Australia by October 1991 in order to be
eligible for further upgrades.
Yours sincerely
SAS INSTITUTE AUSTRALIA PTY LTD
