Short: E versions of RKRM examples (Part One) Author: m88jrh@ecs.ox.ac.uk (Jason R. Hulance) Uploader: m88jrh@ecs.ox.ac.uk (Jason R. Hulance) Type: dev/e JRH's RKRM Examples (Part One) ============================== This archive contains translations of all the examples from the following chapters of the RKRM (Libraries): ASL, Commodities, Exec, GadTools, Intuition, Preferences and Workbench. Also included are translations of all the Resource examples from the RKRM (Devices). The examples retain most of the original comments, with comments specific to these E versions beginning "-> E-Note:". A lot of effort has been put into showing how to effectively use E features such as exceptions and lists. A number of bugs in the original examples have also been eliminated. If you are new to E you should pay special attention to the effect of using exceptions: error handling is and clean-up is neatly separated from the main code, and the code is generally much less indented. You should also notice the special care taken to initialise variables appropriately so that clean-up is made much more simple in the handlers. If you wish to recompile the sources (I expect you might...), you will need my Typed Modules (V40), my AmigaLib modules and my Useful modules. These archives should all be available where you found this archive (Aminet? In 'dev/e'?). These executables, E sources and E modules are all Copyright (C) 1995, Jason R. Hulance. The original RKRM examples are Copyright (C) 1992, Commodore-Amiga Inc. You are free to use the files in this archive to help create your own programs (whether they are freeware or commercial), but if you wish to distribute any part of this archive you must include it all, unmodified, and with this file. (Hopefully, there will be a Part Two which will contain the remainder of the RKRM examples.) ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date
