Ok, I have question: Does this:
/* from covington map...
* - File Descriptor Block (Address Given by VARPTR(#file)) Format -
*
*Byte:
* 0 - File status (0-not open, 1-open for input, 2 open for
* output or append)
* 2 & 3 - Address of file directory entry
* 4 - File device (248-RAM, 249-MoDeM, 250-LinePrinTer,
* 251-WAND, 252-COM, 253-CASsette, 254-CRT, 255-LCD)
* 6 - Offset from buffer start (see bytes 9) for start of next record
* 7 & 8 - Relative position of next 256 byte block from beginning of file
* 9 - Start of 256 byte buffer for data transfer
*/
struct basic_fdb
{
char fdb_status; //VARPTR returns pointer to here?
char *fdb_dir_address;
char fdb_device;
char fdb_offset;
char *fdb_next_block;
char fdb_buffer[256];
};
get used everywhere (such as in TEXT), or is it strictly a BASIC thing?
