OPro v.1.30 Swappable TSR, Pt 2
Martin Ph. Kreuzer
Having managed to run a 'sceleton' program alright
I ventured in porting some procedures.
However, no luck at all with a popup proc
which doesn't do anything else than pop up
an info window.
Nothing of that kind is working in the _swappable_ tsr.
The swapped-out memory has increased by about 40K.
I've tried SR.Alloc (), SaveWindow (), [RawWindow].Init (),
no joy.
Does anybody have any idea what's going on?
Need to get this one going at a customer's site.
Any help much appreciated.

I believe you'll find alarm (alarm.lzh) on the TurboPower ftp site:
ftp://ftp.turbopower.com/pub/oprotpro/alarm.lzh

Thanks for this hint. Browsed Turbopower's ftp site and found other interesting
stuff as well... The "alarm" package looks like it's what I'm going to need, so
presently I'm in the process of digging again into Assembler with the help of
some books. And while trying some very basic examples I found out,
that the "tlink" which comes with BPO 7.01 does _not_ work on my new
(faster) machine. You call it, and whoops, it goes into reboot. So I searched
the net and found an older "tasm/tlink" package v.3.10 which so far seems
to work. There's also available on older TurboC package v.2.01 which
comes with a "tlink" of about the same age. Don't know whether this is
of interest to somebody but sort of wanted to mention it. Will probably keep
you guys posted on how the project is advancing. Thanks again.
