I'd guess you don't need to. You destructor function has been called. This most likely means that the system called DeleteTrackable. Just exit from the destructor function and your trackable node will be freed automatically.

GetColorMap will allocate a new color map independently from the current display. It is of no use for applications. If you need access to the color map of a screen you get a pointer from Screen->ViewPort.ColorMap. How you can get a certain color depends on the OS version and the screen mode. For tru...

more thinking given a partitions DOStype (as something Format can read from the DOSdriver) possibly handling extended arguments, such as enabling Journalling (if optional) or Trashcan/.Recycled folder presence... Yes, I see what you mean. But putting all these options into the standard Format progr...

with minimal modification to the OS It's not that easy. The assignment of a filesystem to a partition is determined by the DosType in the partition table. The partition table is read before AmigaDOS starts. When AmigaDOS starts it mounts all the partitions. That's long before the Format program can...

Yeah, that looks odd. It might look odd, but it's perfectly legal. It's just a positional parameter without a name. It only means the user is not able to move this parameter into another position by specifying the keyword because there is no keyword for it. As an example in IF "a" EQ &quo...

You should keep in mind that the argument substitution in scripts is a textual one. So if you run the script without any arguments the line IF NOT {loop} becomes IF NOT. This does not make any sense. To be honest even if you supply arguments, for example "4", it still makes no sense for me...

Direct SCSI is not needed on the internal IDE bus. If you have a 3.1.4 ROM it is not needed at all, if you run without a ROM it only extends the limit for your boot partition from 4 GB to 7.8 GB. If your boot partition is inside the first 4 GB of the drive and the entire drive is larger than 7.8 GB ...

That's an issue of SFS. There is a patch for it: http://www.doobreynet.co.uk/amiga.html

... and read only

FFS always required a lot of memory to validate. What's new in 3.1.4 is that it gives an error message. In the past it failed silently and left the partition in read-only state. You shuold not go with a temporary solution (UAE). An FFS partition may require re-validation every now and then and then ...
