1002.0. "AES/VDI Calls for Pascal?" by SUOSW3::KAISER (ULTRIX/SQ...what??) Tue Nov 06 1990 08:22

I'm using ST PASCAL+ (OSS PASCAL) for development. As not all AES/VDI calls 
are included in the libraries of the kit and I don't want to reinvent the wheel:
does someone already have written the AES_CALL(...) or VDI_CALL(...) routines
which are missing. I'm interested in VRO_CPYFM, V_OPNVWK,.. and the structures
like MFDB. If no one can provide these calls I'll have to do it on my own.

Thanks a lot
-Hans

1002.1	thought oss documented this information	GOLLY::JAMISON		`Wed Dec 12 1990 13:14`	6
	I thought the latest version of OSS pascal included an insert containing the directions for making the AES or VDI calls. Seems like I even tried it out and had it working fine. I think the latest version is version 2.0. Al...
1002.2	It isn't hard...	PIKES::BITTROLFF		`Wed Dec 12 1990 14:41`	7
	I had thought at one time about setting up a library of calls such as you are looking for, but in general the coding of them is so easy it never seemed worth the effort. How are you progressing? Steve
1002.3	Step by step...	SUOSW3::KAISER	ULTRIX/SQL, Tuxedo and Sybase?!?!	`Fri Dec 14 1990 05:17`	7
	Well, as obviously noone already has such a library I code the calls at the time I need them. Actually I'm using include files instead of a real library. The program I want to write is a conversion from an existing C program, so my first goal is to compile it without errors and then to test it. So I can't say at this time whether my calls are ok. -Hans
1002.4	a possibility	DECWIN::GILLIAM		`Fri Dec 14 1990 10:36`	4
	I think Tackle Box ST by SRM Enterprises provides object libraries for all the AES and VDI calls for Personal Pascal (formerly OSS Pascal). The only problem is that SRM Enterprises is no more. Recently, someone was selling a copy on the Usenet.
