Short: NCS V1.80 - 21 new Blitz Basic II libs to give it a second life... Author: alphasnd@sdv.fr (Laboureur Frederic) Uploader: alphasnd@sdv.fr (Laboureur Frederic) Version: 1.80 Type: dev/basic Replace: NewCommandSet.lha Imagine... Use your Blitz 2 compiler to produce very small and very fast executables, without lot of changes... This dream is reality. This new set includes 21 libraries: Window (Window replacement library) Screen (Screen replacament library) Chunky (New library, for chunky manipulation) Misc (Some commands replacement) Memory (Memory based commands replacement) String (String based commands replacement) ASL (ASL Library management) Font (Font library replacement) GadTools (For creating good looking interfaces) Locale (Catalog support for localized programs) Picture (IFF/ILBM library replacement, very fast) Drawing (2D Drawing stuffs, system friendly) BitMap (BitMap routine replacement) Palette (Palette functions with FadeOut routine) XPK (Easy XPK support) WBStartup (New WbStartup library for even small exe) Clipboard (Easy Amiga clipboard support for text) App (For supporting AppWindows and AppMenu) OS (OS functions) TagList (TagList easy handling) Commodity (Commodity handling) With this set, you will able to produce under 3 kb executables which open a screen, some windows and more :). Normal executables would have take more than 30 kb to do the same. And better, you can now check every importants commmands result, so you will be able to check if the window or the screen is really opened. All the commands are now FULLY system friendly, not like old Acid ones :(. It has a very easy installer script which can do all the installation alone. * NEW in V1.80 ************************************************************** Added debugger support, so no more crashs should appends when developping a program with the debugger ON. The new debugger support has been added for: + NASL library + NBitMap library + NDrawing library + NFont library + NLocale library + NScreen library + NTagList library + NWindow library Bug Fixes: + NScreen : Removed an enforcer hit and a bug + NGadget : NDisableGadget() function + NMenu : NInitMenu() caused a GURU everytime... Shame on me :-(. + NWindow : 2 nasty bugs which cause 2 enforcers hits and crashs + NLocale : 2 major bugs (library wasn't closed to the end and bad adresse was given to CloseCatalog()) + NTagList: NAddTag() command. NWbStartup: + Now return '0' if started from CLI and the pointer to the WBMessage else.. So you can know from where is started your proggy. + Changed the library number from 159 to 199 to fix one bug when the program end... (sometimes). NXpk Library + Fixed a big enforcer hit in the example file (Not in the library, -> Hello Amorel :*) Misc: + Optimized a bit NFont, NGadTools and NLocale libraries + Removed NCommodity library and example because of bugs + AmigaLibs.res file corrected and updated. + Added an example to handle GT_Shape like gadgets + Added Debugger.guide and updated other docs... Enjoy the Amiga POWER ! Fred.
