|
|
Welcome to the AMOS Pro System Equates! This powerfull system enable you
|
|
to directly access all Amiga Equates, in a symbolic manner. AMOS Pro allow
|
|
you to have a clean, system friendly access to the ROM's library.
|
|
|
|
Please select an option:

{[32 ,6,3] How does it work? }
|
|
{[90 ,6,3] Which equates are included? }
|
|
{[140,6,3] How to add your own equates. }
|
|
|

{[ADD,4,7] RUN and add equates to current file }
|

AMOS Pro offers four new instructions to deal with the equates (for more
|
|
information, please refer to the AMOS Pro User Guide).
|
|
|
|
=Equ("The_Equate")
|
|
=Lvo("System_Function")
|
|
=Struc(Address,"Position")=
|
|
=Struc$(Address,"Position")=
|
|
|
|
If during testing time AMOS Pro encounters one of the above instructions it
|
|
will load the following file into memory:
|
|
|
|
"AMOSPro_Tutorial:AMOSPro_System_Equates"
|
|
|
|
AMOS Pro explores it, looking for the specified equate value. If the
|
|
equate is found, its value is poked directly into the AMOS source code. It
|
|
remains there until you change the line with the editor. Next time you
|
|
test the program, AMOS Pro will simply verify that the equate has been
|
|
defined and skip the instruction.
|
|
|
|
This means that once the program has been tested, AMOS Pro will not need to
|
|
load the Equate file (unless you change the source again). This allows you
|
|
to send programs which contain Equates that someone else doesn't have
|
|
access too. Or to someone who doesn't even have the equates file! For
|
|
safe keeping, it's a good idea to place the =Equ("") instructions into
|
|
closed procedures, ensuring they won't be changed by mistake.
|
|
|
|
The Equate file remains in memory wherever possible. As long as a memory
|
|
flush does not occur. So if you have enough RAM it will only be loaded
|
|
once. Floppy disc users will have to keep inserting the disc with the
|
|
equates file on if they don't have enough RAM. (If you're serious about
|
|
developing you must have plenty of RAM and a hard disc). Close Editor and
|
|
Kill Editor are the only instructions which will erase the Equate file.
|
|
(If they are enabled within your configuration file.) This ensures enough
|
|
RAM is freed when needed.
|
|
|
|
ATTENTION: Set Equate Bank is no longer used. We have realised that the
|
|
above method was much better. It saves using a bank for storage. To keep
|
|
AMOS Pro's compatible, it is necessary to leave this command within the
|
|
instruction set. But it has absolutely NO EFFECT!

The Amiga system has a LOT of equates. Inserting all of them into the
|
|
equate file would have made it as big as 400k!
|
|
|
|
Here is the list of files included in this file:
|
|
|
|
All: dos.library, exec.library, math(s).library,
|
|
icon.library _LVOs,
|
|
"exec/exec.i"
|
|
"dos/dos.i"
|
|
"dos/dosextens.i"
|
|
"libraries/locale.i"
|
|
|
|
"devices/audio.i"
|
|
"devices/bootblock.i"
|
|
"devices/clipboard.i"
|
|
"devices/gameport.i"
|
|
"devices/parallel.i"
|
|
"devices/printer.i"
|
|
"devices/prtbase.i"
|
|
"devices/prtgfx.i"
|
|
"devices/scsidisk.i"
|
|
"devices/serial.i"
|
|
"devices/timer.i"
|
|
"devices/trackdisk.i"
|
|
"hardware/Custom.i"
|
|
"rexx/errors.i"
|
|
"rexx/rexxio.i"
|
|
"rexx/rxslib.i"
|
|
"rexx/storage.i"
|
|
|
|
This means you have total control over dos and exec, any devices, arexx and
|
|
the hardware chipset. If you can't find the equates you need for your
|
|
applications then read the next chapter.

|
|
{[000,4,7] How to add your own equate. }
|
|
{[000,4,7] }
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two methods to achieve this task and it depends on the number of
|
|
equates you want to add.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Simple method - using a text editor
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The equate file is a plain ASCII file. Just load it into your favourite
|
|
text editor. You will see immediately that the structure of the file is
|
|
very simple:
|
|
|
|
The_Equate:$XXXXXXXX,Type
|
|
|
|
* The_Equate is the name of the equate to be defined. Beware! Case is
|
|
important. A colon must lie right at the end of name (no spaces).
|
|
|
|
* $XXXXXXXX is the value of this equate. It can be hexadecimal, decimal,
|
|
or binary (with a %).
|
|
|
|
* Type defines the type of the equate:
|
|
|
|
0 Byte
|
|
1 Word, Bool
|
|
2 Long
|
|
3 UByte
|
|
4 UWord
|
|
5 ULong
|
|
6 APTR, FPRT, CPRR
|
|
7 No special type.
|
|
|
|
The =Equ("") function returns any kind of equate, regardless of its kind.
|
|
|
|
The =Lvo("") function also returns any kind of equates, but add an "_LVO"
|
|
to the name of the specified equate before looking for it in the file.
|
|
|
|
=STRUC= only works with equates of type 0 to 6
|
|
|
|
=STRUC$= only works with equates of type 6
|
|
|
|
How to add your new equate:
|
|
|
|
* Go to the bottom of the file.
|
|
* Type in your equate, no spaces and respecting the types (choose type 7 if
|
|
you do not know).
|
|
* Continue for every other equate you're adding.
|
|
* Save your file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Using Make_Equate.AMOS.
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This program automatically converts a listing produced by an assembler into
|
|
a file which AMOS Pro will understand. Make_Equates was used to produce
|
|
the "AMOSPro_System_Equate" file on you master disc.
|
|
|
|
How to proceed?
|
|
|
|
* You should use Genam2 (or 3), in fact the assembler, Genim2.
|
|
|
|
* You must create a source listing which includes all the files you want to
|
|
grab the equates from. Here is the source used for the default equate
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
; Make sure all macros are listed
|
|
OPT M+
|
|
|
|
; My own include directory,
|
|
IncDir "Work:includes/i/"
|
|
|
|
; Let's go with the includes
|
|
Include "exec/exec.i"
|
|
Include "dos/dos.i"
|
|
Include "dos/dosextens.i"
|
|
Include "libraries/locale.i"
|
|
|
|
Include "devices/audio.i"
|
|
Include "devices/bootblock.i"
|
|
Include "devices/clipboard.i"
|
|
Include "devices/gameport.i"
|
|
Include "devices/parallel.i"
|
|
Include "devices/printer.i"
|
|
Include "devices/prtbase.i"
|
|
Include "devices/prtgfx.i"
|
|
Include "devices/scsidisk.i"
|
|
Include "devices/serial.i"
|
|
Include "devices/timer.i"
|
|
Include "devices/trackdisk.i"
|
|
Include "hardware/Custom.i"
|
|
Include "rexx/errors.i"
|
|
Include "rexx/rexxio.i"
|
|
Include "rexx/rxslib.i"
|
|
Include "rexx/storage.i"
|
|
|
|
* Under a CLI, you must assemble the source, with the "-p" option, this
|
|
informs the assembler to produce a 2 pass assembly listing. Here is an
|
|
example of the listing produced for the default file:
|
|
|
|
22 00.00000000 * unit defintions
|
|
23 =00000000 UNIT_MICROHZ EQU 0
|

|
|

|
|
37 =00000008+ TV_SIZE EQU SOFFSET
|
|
37 00.00000000 ENDM
|
|
38 00.00000000
|
|
39 00.00000000 STRUCTURE ECLOCKVAL,0
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
40 00.00000000 ULONG EV_HI
|
|
40 =00000000+ EV_HI EQU SOFFSET
|
|
40 =00000004+ SOFFSET SET SOFFSET+4
|
|
40 00.00000000 ENDM
|
|
41 00.00000000 ULONG EV_LO
|
|
41 =00000004+ EV_LO EQU SOFFSET
|
|
41 =00000008+ SOFFSET SET SOFFSET+4
|
|
41 00.00000000 ENDM
|
|
42 00.00000000 LABEL EV_SIZE
|
|
42 =00000008+ EV_SIZE EQU SOFFSET
|
|
42 00.00000000 ENDM
|
|
43 00.00000000
|
|
|
|
No need to tell you that this can can be enormous (the default one is
|
|
600k!). I suggest you work on a hard-drive!
|
|
|
|
* Once the .LST file is created, you run Make_Equates.AMOS. The program
|
|
will explore the .LST file, line by line, and take any labels out of it.
|
|
It automatically detects the type of the label from the listing,
|
|
and creates the proper line for AMOS Pro.
|
|
|
|
For security reasons the program works on a temporary file on the
|
|
Ram Disc (you can set the path of the temporary file at the beginning of
|
|
the program). When everything is finished you have the option of
|
|
copying the new file over the old one.
|
|
|
|
You can either:
|
|
|
|
a) Create a new file
|
|
b) Add labels to the existing file.
|
|
|
|
In both cases, any label defined twice will not be added to the file. At
|
|
the end of the process the number of new and duplicated labels is
|
|
reported.
