You hit CTRL-. and CTRL-SHTFT-. and CTRL-SHFT-OPTION-. to kill the Switcher partition in which you are running: NO DICE. the cat, the dog, the wife and the kids are fumbling for the exit because of the SMOKE ALARM ..... NO, you don't want to RESET your MAC and lose all the open files in other SWITCHER-partitions - besides, you know of the dangers to your hard-disk. No, you don't want to have your modem hang up and lose the online-session, in which you were just editing a large file, making some intricate changes. All you want is for Minny Mac to PIPE DOWN !!!! and to tell the main-frame somehow to ignore whatever it thinks gave it cause to sound the alarms ..... typing CONTROL-Cs and CONTROL-Os to the mainframe don't seem to have any effect .... yeah, well, at 2400baud, a glitch can send a lot of *INVALID* characters to the mainframe in a hurry !!! and even though the modem seems to indicate no spurious SENDing from our end, the mainframe keeps sending those BELLS!!!! desperate, you turn off the modem and, thus, hang up!!! you are already on the brink of divorce, or worse, getting voted out of your own house by a vote of ALL IN FAVOR, ONE ABSTENTION (you wouldn't dare vote differently) - who cares about needing to have this task finished first thing in the morning..... the BELL keeps ringing ..... you remember the stereo-headphones have a converter plug to fit the MAC. stick that one in. the sound now comes out of the headphones, not much less noise (you wished you had a headset with loudness-control) - ok, we remove the headphones, leaving just the converter plug and SILENCE !!! will that damage the sound circuits? who cares when your life is in danger !!! MORAL: well, draw your own. of course, I probably, overlooked *the OBVIOUS* but if Jon (or someone else) cares to point this out, I don't mind looking the fool, if, at least, it saves THE REST OF YOU the aggravation. In the meantime, I'm considering installing a hardware ON/OFF switch on that speaker !!!! I think today must be MONDAY @#%$& PS: maybe, I should have hit the INTERRUPT button and tried to use a SM 0 A9F4 G 0 to kill the Switcher session with the terminal emulator ??!! well, this is the Monday morning quarterback 2 hours later ... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Apr 87 15:52:50 CST From: wmartin@ngp.utexas.edu (Wiley Sanders) Subject: Fix for bug in Macfortran call to SIZERESOURCE There is an error in the file "resource.inc" supplied with MacFortran 2.2. The error is an incorrect value for the trap code for SIZERESOURCE. The old, incorrect value is: z'9A550000'. The correct value should be z'9A590000'. Without this correction, calling SIZERESOURCE will bomb. Credit goes to Dan Kampmeier, whose source to McFace gives the correct value of the trap code. -w ------------------------------ Date: Fri 3 Apr 87 17:57:10-PST From: Tony Siegman Subject: Complex Variables in MS Fortran In Microsoft Fortran the mini-program DO 10 K=1,10 A=CMPLX(1.0,0.0)+K 10 WRITE (9,*) REAL(A),AIMAG(A) will compile without errors and produce the output 2.000 0.000 3.000 0.000 ..... while the miniprogram A0=CMPLX(1.0,0.0) DO 10 K=1,10 A=A0+K 10 WRITE (9,*) REAL(A),AIMAG(A) will produce 2.000 1.000 3.000 2.000 4.000 3.000 ..... In both cases the compiler reports that A is real, and the locations of A and K are four units apart. I guess you have to be real careful when specifiying and using complex variables in MS Fortran! ------------------------------ Date: 04 Apr 87 0004 PST From: Tovar Subject: Re: Terminal Emulators and Control Codes [1 line] Why use for ?
