For those who don't have the DevCD there is also:
http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/MakeDT-1.3 (ARexx script)
http://aminet.net/package/util/dtype/dtmake (dtread and dtwrite tools)

Since the numbers are ordered 1 to 8 you could do it simply like this: STATIC CONST CONST_STRPTR icontype_strings[] = { "WBDISK", "WBDRAWER", "WBTOOL", "WBPROJECT", "WBGARBAGE", "WBDEVICE", "WBKICK", "WBAPPICON", NULL };...

I started working on some tools written in ruby for reading/writing datatype descriptors some time ago (don't remember how finished they were). The main purpose was to have something that I can use on my Ubuntu and Cygwin cross-compiler setups but of course with a decent enough ruby port they should...

Is the readdir() function in newlib.library threadsafe? If you need thread safety you should use readdir_r() instead (or at least never call readdir() from more than one task at once). edit: couldn't find readdir_r() in newlib or clib2 includes so I guess it doesn't exist. I could swear I had used ...

The only time i have to use "" is when i want to show a variable in brackets, like so Weather: Clear Skies (16°C) where the corresponding line in Workbench prefs would be Weather: %e weather/weather (%e "weather/temp") otherwise, for some reason, it won't work (i.e. i get a sing...

Should they be equal?

Not really. <clib/xxx_protos.h> includes are only for legacy M68k programs. <interfaces/xxx.h> files define the new PPC interfaces used by AmigaOS 4.x native programs.

@chris doslist = IDOS->AllocDosObjectTags(DOS_DOSLIST, ADO_Name, rarray[A_NAME], TAG_DONE); Just wondering why you don't set ADO_Type here to DLT_VOLUME? Then you won't have to poke it into the structure later and if AllocDosObject() needs to do some specific initialisation for DLT_VOLUME then it wi...

a. A fat32 partition _IS_ of use on an amiga hardhrive - as im attempting to setup PC-Task. Why not just format the partition in PC-Task then? If you're going to use the partition inside an emulator then you shouldn't mount the partition in AmigaOS at all as then you will have two filesystems (one ...

@chris The complete source code is in the archive I linked to above, but here are the relevant parts for the ACTION_DISK_INFO and ACTION_INFO packets implementation: case ACTION_DISK_INFO: pkt->dp_Res2 = DiskInfo(fs, BADDR(pkt->dp_Arg1)); pkt->dp_Res1 = !pkt->dp_Res2 ? DOSTRUE : DOSFALSE; break; cas...

@chris This is the code that I use in XADFileSystem to generate the volume: ed = IDOS->ExamineObjectTags(EX_FileHandleInput, fs->file, TAG_END); if (!ed) { DismountArchive(fs); return IDOS->IoErr(); } fs->root->date = ed->Date; if (FindVolumeNode(fs, ed->Name, &ed->Date)) { IDOS->FreeDosObject(D...
