FontInstall/FontRemove

Thanks for those thoughts.
I dont think it can be too many fonts (no more than a dozen) nor too
long a font$path (checked it in a task window).
I have done some more detailed tests and the error seems to happen
*only* when the font that is 'fontinstalled' is used and then only

New version of LibASH (v1.03 28/08/08) now available...

2008-08-29T11:39:02Z

Not so many additions this time, as LibASH is actually starting to
mature, but I've re-written the block integrity checking code from
scratch using a single function FNash_blockintegrity(<block>), rather
than the two seperate functions that existed before. I've also re-
written PROCash_free(<block>) to use this new code and removed the old

C structure members (apart from adjacent bitfields) have always been
guaranteed to be stored in the order in which they were defined. For
instance, in ANSI C90 this is defined in A.8.3., which states

Hello All
Does anyone have any experience with Martin Carradus's QBBC V3.00 'QBASIC
to BBC BASIC converter' which when I try to convert anything it just
crashes with a 'Branch through zero at &0380D090'. Alternatively does
anyone have a email address I have only been able to find a postal address
on his web site.

I send Martin a first version of a library which allows to use Reporter
from the Lua programming language.

Reporter will certainly work from SWIs. If you can call them with the
runtime value of a variable it will enable you to see the values.
If you manage to get some Lua routines to issue Reporter SWIs, please let
me know.

TreeView new version

2008-08-26T17:03:06Z

Prompted by a query from a developer, I was looking at TreeView, and I
realised I hadn't uploaded the latest version to my web site. So version
0.13 is now up there. I've also uploaded a distribution packaged in the
correct manner (ie inside a !Boot structure) to make it easier for end
users to install the modules.

Yes, this might be a solution to my problem. I only have two levels of
depth but still it looks very usefull. I have to check whether I can
really do everything that I need with it but my first impression is, that
it is quite flexible.
Thank you very much,

My TreeView toolbox module does something similar, it allows you to display
a "tree" of nodes each of which can have an icon and some text. It's more
like the hierarchical list you get on the left hand side of Windows
Explorer than a true Filer window though.

If it helps to convince you otherwise: I am using Reporter from Ada.
Thanks Stefan for the bindings ;-)

Yes, it allows to call SWIs, so I will try to implement it. I do not know
reporter and from Martins posting it seemed to be interesting to BASIC
users only.

Should be pretty easy to write a Reporter binding, no? (Or really easy
if the RISC OS port of Lua allows for the calling of SWIs.)

I'm using Lua, so !Reporter does not help me unfortunately. Regarding
multitasking: I think that for this particular problem it may be helpfull
that multitasking is stoppen. If I write the values to a file then not all
windows are created.
When talking about debugging in general of course there are probably much
