It's been a while since I did the initial port, but changes for HAL operation were fairly limited. The module_rt.c file was completely new, and added for HAL. Most of the other changes were in the init code to allocate stuff in shared memory. I think mostly confined to arrays.c. There were also some changes to classicladder.c (main()) to allow it to load the shared memory without launching the GUI. I also made some changes to some of the GUI dialogs to remove fields that were no longer relavant when configuring IO. There were quite a lot of other changes to fix bugs in ClassicLadder itself, almost all in the GUI code as I remember (maybe some file stuff too).

I would much prefer everyone to > benifit from my tinkering! I think it would be great if you would take ClassicLadder "under your wing". It would be even better if we could figure out how to keep our version and Marc's version in sync, so that both can benefit from fixes to either one. I wish I knew exactly how many places had to be touched to make it work with HAL (and to remove stuff we don't use). If the ClassicLadder codebase could clearly be divided into "stock" and "EMC customized" parts, it would be a huge step toward avoiding a fork. Unfortunately I don't know much about CL. (I did take a look at your patches, but there are a lot of them and I could only understand a few.) PeteV did the first conversion, then Jeff Epler (jepler) did it again later on. (CL had advanced a lot, so Jeff ported a much newer version over to use with EMC.) Jeff is on vacation in Europe for a couple of weeks, so he probably won't be commenting on this thread. But when he gets back his input would be good to get. Regards, -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
