Lauderdale Lines: 32 Well, I should thank you all... I had some problems getting my 3b1 doing what it's supposed to, on account of a lack of documentation, and I'm now running okay.. It is a drag, though, that there's no way of starting up the machine if the /etc/rc file is screwed and you don't have the floppies (which was my case, though that's now rectified). Still lacking documentation, I've been able to learn nearly everything I need- ed from extensive experimentation. There is, however, one command which I must use... The wrastop() command. I'm told it takes seven or so arguments??? I need to be able to get graphics on the screen...somehow... However it's done, I'm willing to do it. I believe that the 'window' system is supposed to be fairly straightforward, but, not knowing even the arguments to the command which puts a bitmap onto the screen (wrastop), I haven't much hope. If someone would be willing to give me a description, sell me some manual pages, show me the source code to a program which does graphics, *anything*, I'd be forever in debt. Also I'm curious on how to change the system font (I think I remember hearing that it's possible?) Damn, I really need those manuals... Oh, yes - one last thing... Where can I get memory expansion? I could really go for another two megs! -aaron -- -- __ | Aaron | Proximity Technology | #include| | Charles | 3511 N-E 22nd Ave. | #include | __ | Zimmerman | Fort Ladeda, Fla | cat flames > /dev/null |
