Kaj de Vos Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 List-XEX automatically adapts between command-line environments and menu-driven environments such as Atari DOS. Here it analyses itself running directly on the Atari800 emulator, without a DOS: This is treated like a menu-driven environment, because the emulator also clears the program output after it runs. Because there are no command-line parameters, List-XEX asks for the file name interactively. The emulator's H: device is used here to read the file from the disk of the host system. After the program is done, it asks for a key press to preserve the output. Some more info: On Atari, List-XEX needs 32 KB of RAM. It could run on a stocked up 800 or upgraded 400 or 600XL. While reading the input file, it uses a buffer that can buffer a full track of a double density floppy disk, to speed up operation on floppy drives without a track buffer. The program loads at address $2600 to leave room for optional extra drivers. For example, this is enough to load the FujiNet N: handler above regular Atari DOS, so List-XEX can access files on the Internet and other networks.

Kaj de Vos Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Made a series of improvements to the web console: https://console.metaproject.frl Layouting of long error messages is improved. Several bugs in the Meta web backend were fixed. Thanks go to iArnold from the REBOL scene for testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
