[Coco] Syscalls

[Bill Nobel]

Phil, which BBS are you talking about.  A more specific example would help.  I do have the source code for RiBBS (as I worked on it at the time) and it does use a lot of SysCall’s.  Both to the system as well as it’s own internal routines.

Phil,

A question this vague can't be answered. You need to post at least one specific example.

List several lines of code from a BBS using a specific Syscall that you can't find data on.
List the closest matching call from the OS-9 Level2 book, Cat# 26-3031, OS-9 Level2.
List the closest call from the NitrOS-9 source code with the URL and version number. If it is from a current release disk, give it's URL.

Indicate if you are using a real Coco3 or one of the recent hardware equivalents, ex. FPGA. Your problem may not be with the syscall itself but the hardware on which you are trying to use it.

Robert
