It's almost certainly happening because you are using up all the available graphics memory with the big window and the system is having to swap graphics content in and out of RAM. Well, but note what alfkil says in 2. above: "Make the height of the window as small as possible.". So we're not talking about a very big window. Quote: If I'm right, there is no cure other than to reduce your requirements (smaller screen, reduced resolution, etc). Well, it seems to be "cured" by changing the window's height/width relation without making it smaller altogether, AFAIU. Best regards, Niels

@alfkil
With the risk of stating the obvious (or not knowing what I'm talking about): If the problem is that your (main) program is too big for the infrastructure of calling shared objects (as it works right now), why not make it smaller? Try to break out some more of your program into e.g. shared objects, so your main executable stays under those 32MB in size. Or, if much of all that space is taken up by data, try moving the data into dynamically allocated memory and - unless you generate it at runtime - load it from a separate file.
Best regards,
Niels

It depends a lot what your goals are. If you "just" want Mono on X1000, that's a *lot* easier than getting something complete enough to run most C# apps. and you responded a.o.: Quote: I'm not entirely sure what you mean by most c# applications though, because c# is also compiled using Microsoft Visual C#. The actual language is in fact not that big a part of the implementation of a typical .NET project. Most of the functionality you need will be something you call in the .NET framework, which consists of a huge amount of runtime libraries, DLLs (on Windows). These are the same whichever language (of the .NET compatible ones) you code in. This is not only GUI toolkits, but also a lot of the data structures, storage, file handling and communication basics needed in most applications. I guess that would be what vidarh is referring to. "Most C# apps" is a high goal, not because the C# part is big, but because most C# apps will also be typical .NET apps which draw heavily on the .NET framework. (Substitute "Mono" for ".NET" in the above wherever it makes sense; I haven't had any experience with Mono myself yet.) Best regards, Niels

@AndyC Welcome to the (slightly less) mad house The X1000 expectations seem to be attracting more people every day - old Amigans as well as totally new users. This is really nice. About SAS vs. programming: Don't undersell yourself. I did some SAS about 25 years ago, and it was definitely programming back then. I worked close to a group of SAS programmers in more recent years, and I had a clear feeling that they were programming as well. (Even though we used to tease them about it and talk about "the SAS group and the developer group" .) Of course SAS is many things and can be used in many ways. Sort of like (sans comparaison) Hollywood on the Amiga. Best regards, Niels

Strange indeed, to finalize the test can you change the line
nbytes = IDOS->Read(fd[0], readbuffer, sizeof(readbuffer));
to
nbytes = IDOS->Read(fd[0], readbuffer, 32);
and see if it change something ? Done, no change. Best regards, Niels

@alfkil
I tried compiling and running your code, and I get the same results.
I added some extra debug printout which showed that:
- GetFileSize() returns 32 (the combined length of the written items) both when called before and after the read attempt.
- SetBlockingMode() returns an old mode of 1 (SBM_BLOCKING) as expected.
- IoErr(), when called just after the read attempt (which returns -1), returns ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK.
I even tried moving the Close() of the written end of the pipe (fd[1]) up before the read attempt, which changed nothing.
I have not done much Amiga programming, and my C may also in general be a bit rusty, but I agree, this does seem strange to me too.
Best regards,
Niels

@davebraco
The Dismount command does a more thorough cleanup than Assign DISMOUNT. It attempts to shut down the filesystem in question, while Assign DISMOUNT only removes the Doslist entry.
There is also a FORCE option, but do read the doc before using it.

Niels

It all boils down to how much you are willing to believe they are "not evil" (in the Google sense of this statement) and will never be bought out by someone who is.
If you want to trust them with your material, by all means do so. I don't.

I hope you have considered Facebook's insane rules of ownership (as in their ownership) of any and all material posted there?
If I were you, I'd ask for a forum here on Amigans.net instead.

@VooDoo
Yeah, I saw now that you got the same advice on AW.net.
FWIW, I find a separate switch to be a more flexible solution, as you can put the router and the switch in two different parts of the house and minimize the number of long cables you have to run between rooms (to one). Depends on your needs, of course.
Best regards,
Niels

@VooDoo Even if it is possible (and I'm not sure it is, i.e. I'm not sure Roadshow can handle two netinterfaces running at the same time), it is a messy and complicated solution. Get a switch instead and make both the A1 and the A1200 regular nodes on your LAN. It's a much cleaner solution, and a switch doesn't cost much these days. You will even have several extra ports available for visitors etc. afterwards. Random example found in Google: http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/660/867/ ... uct.html?searchtype=genreThere are many fine ones at similar prices. You just hook it up to one of your router's Ethernet ports, and then you can hook up all your computers, including the A1200, to the remaining ports on either the router or the switch, whichever is more convenient. If you run out of ports one day, just get one more switch and daisy-chain it off either of the other two units. Best regards, Niels
