[Coco] Colorful_Sled_6ed Editing three files on one screen

[Bill Pierce]

Stephen, I also ran into problems with trying to assemble older files in Nitro. I finally realized the problem was not with Asm as it was not changed (that I know of). The problem is in the os9defs file as it has not only changed, but grown. The main thing to be done, is the upper/lower case of the system calls. What I ran across most were  (old) I$WRITE, (new) I$Write. All the calls are like this. Once these changes are made, most programs will assemble. I suggest before attempting anything in Nitro, looking deeply into os9defs, rbfdefs, & scfdefs and you'll not only see the difference in syntax but that there's new calls that can make programming life a little easier.
I've move most of my assembly over to RMA now as not only does it make variable organization easier, but it interfaces with C better than Asm.

Hi,

I must correct myself, the most windows I had on one screen was three, not
four.

I started to build a demo when I discovered that NitrOS-9 had duplicated
(Perhaps by a really bad design decision) Tandy's horse**** ones.

So I have started another project:

NitrOS-9 Level-II Windows

http://www.tandycoco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=777#p777

I hope that I will get some help with this one, first by someone extracting
the Window descriptor source from NitrOS-9 and adding them to the project.
Then I can plan how to build new good ones for NitrOS-9 ones.

I cannot even assemble my old source with the asm that is supplied. :-II

NitrOS-9 needs to move into a more useable form right out of the box.

The practice of being willing to help someone do something is flawed because
all those following behind must do the same amount of work.

This is prevent many persons interested in NitrOS-9 to give up because the
system is not very nice for new users.
