Newsgroups: comp.sources.hp48 From: charles renner Subject: v07i014: rflib.cr - RF as LIB 903 v1.21, Part01/01 Message-ID: <1992Sep28.213321.7231@seq.uncwil.edu> Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 21:33:21 GMT Approved: spell@seq.uncwil.edu Checksum: 283439407 (verify with brik -cv) Submitted-by: charles renner Posting-number: Volume 7, Issue 14 Archive-name: rflib.cr BEGIN_DOC rf121.doc For those of you who can't stand to store anything in RAM (like me), and make homemade libraries for just about anything, than this is for you. For those of you who have my library 903 version of the RF packer program (v1.2), than this is even better. I have now succeeded in hacking the v1.21 version of the RF packer program, that is in the utils directory of the seventh EduCalc Goodies disk to put it in library form. I used library 903 again, and found all incidents of global variables in the new programs and replaced them with the appropriate XLIB names (easier said than done) and repacked the programs. This version of Lutz Vieweg's RF program works uses the same compression method as v1.2, v1.2L (library), and v1.21. Therefore replacing my old library with this one is harmless. It just gives you the benefits of v1.21 in library form. In case you haven't found them the (subtle) differences between v1.2 and 1.21 are as follows: * 1.21 is written in external codes as opposed to RPN to make it faster and take up less memory. * 1.21 automatically "STRIP"s the program delimeters off the begginning of a program (but only if they are there). * 1.21 doesn't put program delimeters on packed self-extracting or packed self-extracting and evaluating files. If you want to convert from the ram-based form of rf (1.2 or 1.21) to the library form you must replace all incidents of 'RFP' in the self-extracting packed files with XLIB 903 2 (which will appear as RFP when this library is installed). To do this break apart the program, replace the global name with the XLIB name and run /->PRG. (You need some sort of hacking programs to do this, if you need help write me). +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ E-Mail: crenner@clemson.clemson.edu or crenner@eng.clemson.edu or /---- / / / / /---- / / crenner@hubcap.clemson.edu or / / / / / / / / c210cr@cs.clemson.edu / /---/ / / / /\/ "...as the rich get rich, and the poor stay / / / / / / / \ poor, and the banks get fat, and the cops /---- / / /---/ /---- / \ get paid to look away as the one percent rules America!" - Queensryche +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ END_DOC
