by the end commodore uk and commodore europe were the only ones keeping the company afloat, but at every turn they kept getting the rug pulled out by commodore HQ who thought they could sleaze their way to success like they had with the c64.

Commodore UK were plenty sleazy themselves

they were a uniform sponsor of Chelsea FC during their last years in business, which is quite an expensive proposition: when you sponsor a club at that level, you also have to pay it more when it wins

so of course they wanted to buy insurance against having to pay out some absurd amount of money if Chelsea won, but they found the insurance would be pretty expensive in itself

they had a plan though: they hired a bunch of shady young men across the UK to all place small bets on Chelsea matches within the same ten minutes so the bookmaking systems wouldn�t have time to react and change the odds (and therefore the payout)

Current great idea status: installing a development environment on my ~~1040STF~~ 4160STF

I�ve got VBCC installed and I�m working on getting a GNU environment going - a lot of tools were ported to TOS in the early 90s so I�ll have an old bash, GCC 2.5, make, gas, etc. mostly I want the bash because gulam (the standard ST shell everyone uses) doesn�t quite support VBCC�s configuration scripts

doing a lot of 19200bps xmodem copy operations lol

was there an old port of the original Franz Lisp to the more command line-ish 68K personal computers like the ST and Amiga? there was a 68K variant, originally for Sun & friends, back when it was a Berkeley project

here�s the last public domain Franz Lisp code for both VAX and 68K, wonder how hard it is to port�

Luigi Thirty: Apr 30, 2006; Emergency confection port.

iirc it�s pretty easy to port Unix stuff to TOS as long as you can compile it with a C89 compiler (or vbcc�s C99 mode). there�s a vt52 console built into the OS. the text mode API is pretty simple and roughly corresponds to CP/M and DOS. you get free reign of the system, which is a basic 68K minicomputer.

what if it�s K&R C?

what size are short and int on VBCC?

and what�s the executable format used on TOS?

now I�m thinking about bringing up the Atari ST stuff under MAME on my GPD Pocket

right now the only emulator I have running under MAME on my GPD Pocket is the Apollo emulation

it is pretty cool to boot Domain/OS though and soon there should be Aegis (the previous OS) tapes available�

not sure. i know it's ANSI C with some C99 support.

short is 16 bits and int is 32 bits in m68k mode.

TOS uses a unique format that's similar enough to a.out that older binutils support it, GCC 4 is I think the last official version that can make TOS programs.

also, :toot:

i got emacs 18.55 up too.

MAME's ST support was garbage last time I checked, which is pretty weird since it's not a complicated machine, certainly less weird than the amiga

maybe it�s a function of other good emulators being available

TOS using a format similar to a.out is good because it looks like it�d make Franz an easier port

seeing things about major and minor devices in the Franz source makes me nervous though

major and minor devices? TOS supports device-independent I/O iirc

i thought on TOS they had trinary computers so probably the executables are pretty weird by 2018 standards

# ? Jan 28, 2018 10:40

Luigi Thirty: Apr 30, 2006; Emergency confection port.

well the good news is the MINT version of clib is mostly compatible with TOS through emulating POSIX calls

the bad news is the executables it spits out are gigantic and slow because it's emulating POSIX calls

I had a branch hosed because on the local unix machine the branch names aren't case sensitive but they are in github, and I accidentally checked out a branch with the camel casing wrong and proceeded to lane about a dozen commits. Nothing seemed wrong until I tried to push to github.
