Message-ID: <2794@osu-eddie.UUCP> Date: Tue, 30-Dec-86 02:30:51 EST Article-I.D.: osu-eddi.2794 Posted: Tue Dec 30 02:30:51 1986 Date-Received: Fri, 2-Jan-87 20:57:23 EST Reply-To: jac@osu-eddie.UUCP (Jim Clausing) Organization: The Ohio State University, CIS Dept. Lines: 25 Keywords: GetSysPPtr, assembler (avoiding it) I am trying to write an INIT resource to reset a few of the values in the parameter ram. Unfortunately, since GetSysPPtr is not in ROM, LightSpeed Pascal won't let me call it with the DA PasLib. I know the address in low memory of the stuff I want. My question is how do I get the address into my pointer variable. If I had assembler available it would be fairly simple, just move $01F8 to the appropriate location (I think I can even find that, it seems at the moment to be (A6)-12 bytes), but I don't have assembler. I could use Generic(??), I suppose, but I don't know what goes in there either. Can anyone out there help me? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Clausing "Is it time for a colorful metaphor?"
