Hey Guys,
I have finally decided to join this list as my work on QDT progresses
(thanks Marcel for recommending that I try this). Was putting it off
due to time constraints but now seems like a good time with a cry or two
for help.
I could use some assistance in using C68 in the pointer environment in
passing an event from one job to another, which I can not currently get
to work.
I have tried two scenarios.
1) using sms_sevt and sms_wevt
- I used the job ID received back as an integer from sms_info for
each job
. when these were checked they matched the job ID listed with the
SBASIC command jobs but did not include any tag info, etc.
? is this the correct job id to use in these calls? If not, how
can I obtain the correct ID?
- I set the eventlist for sms_wevt = 0xFF so that it would accept any
event sent it
- sent an event with sms_sevt to the sms_wevt program
- nothing received
2) using iop_rptr (enhanced for the upper 8 bits for vectors) and
sms_sevt
- same job ID as described in 1)
- assumed that sms_sevt is actually using the upper 8 bits of the
vector list that iop_rptr checks
- sent event
- nothing received (checked both upper and lower bytes)
Can anyone help me with this? If not in C68, then in assembly. I
should be able to match the two.
I need to do this to communicate between my icon objects and their
associated folder in QDT.
Thanks,
Jim
