@astrofra:

Have you ever tried to move the "USBCtrl START" command just before the LoadWB command in the startup-sequence? Just a thought.

Ok, then if I haven't missed it since 2.1, there is no locale offering to display the date format to that standard. Even though the the 1st version of ISO 8601 had been published in 1988 the latest 3rd version seems to have been published on December 2004. So if it has been implemented it should ha...

The function WRITELN() returns an value. You should either "CALL WRITELN(...)" or "var = WRITELN(...)".

Otherwise AREXX will try to execute a command with the name of the returned value.

..., BUT it works for a NULL pointer! Why is this? Is it safe to give a NULL pointer? /* from intuition/intuition.h */ /* * Special codes for ShowWindow() and WA_InFrontOf: * Give this as target window where to move your window to. */ #define WINDOW_BACKMOST ((struct Window *)0) #define WINDOW_FRON...

The real reason is that a program can only react to events it gets. If you stop moving your mouse the program will not get any new events and would just keep waiting for the next one. To avoid this situation most programs also listen to INTUITICKS to keep going if necessary. The more events the fast...

To get the charset you have to open locale.library and use locale = ILocale->OpenLocale(NULL). locale.library is in LIBS:, not a kickstart module, and it depends on several other files on SYS: as well. If SYS: is a SFS partition and SFS would try to open locale.library which has to be loaded from t...

The software used for displaying or entering the names has to do the conversion between UTF-8 and the local 8 bit charset, in this case it's the Workbench which has to be updated. Doing it in the file system (or dos.library) instead is wrong and can't work, currently only 8 bit charsets are support...

@salass00:

You really are a hard nut to crack

Why are you so reluctant to the idea of using the local charset? Most users will only use characters in their own charset.

What happens now if I create a file with the name "täterätätä" as that is clearly not a leagal UTF-8 sequence?

Roadshow does add a TCP: device, so a simple DOS-script should be enough.
But I don't know if a new job will reset this setting.

Ok, thank you that slipped my view.. But .DEF still does not work. It doesn't pass the default value.. It does for me: .KEY FILE1/A,FILE2 .BRA { .KET } .DEF FILE2 "SomeTestString" ECHO "FILE1 = *"{FILE1}*" and FILE2 = *"{FILE2}*"" QUIT 7.RAM Disk:> Execute te...
