I just got a Causeway 5 Error (Out of memory) when running my program from ed. When I ran it from the command line it worked. Presumably ed was taking up too much memory. I have about 520K free conventional memory and 6MB RAM in total. Did Causeway need more conventional or extended memory ? Another twist to my problem running ee.ex ... I discovered that when I scrolled by pressing the down arrow then only the bottom line was redrawn but when I used the arrows on the scroll bar via the mouse the whole screen got redrawn. The whole screen was redrawn when I Paged Down as well. My math include file now does matrix multiplication (all matrices), determinates and inverse matrices (AxA matrices). It should soon be able to do basic integration and differentiation. Maybe some of you 3d guys may find it useful if you have not done the code already. What is going on with the Markup project ? Is it being done secretly or has it been scrapped ? I think that the recursive ex.ex idea would be handy for turning your p-200 into a 386 to simulate your program on machines like mine. Alternatively you could rescue a 386 from the scrap yard... Some newbies asked for ideas for programming. Here is mine. I think any competitive members of the list will find it interesting. How about a multiplayer game, where the skill is not in strategy or reactions, but programming skill. Pitting different people's code against each other and seeing which comes out top. It is a bit like AI I suppose and could turn into a full game. The scenario could be an aerial dogfight or something simple like a maze. Each player would have a routine, each rountine would be called in turn and given all the variables in order to make its decision. Does anybody fancy the idea ? If you find me a bore, send me a SHUT UP mail, otherwise give me your opinions. Sorry I have gone on so long. Daniel
