ADFSEXPO M/CODE VERSION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By Richard Dimond As promised in my earlier description of the BASIC version, I now submit the M/code version. This is not only quicker in operation, it is easier to use as it is run with a * command. Also being coded, it can be used with the AutoRom program or could be written for storing in SW RAM. In doing the coding I have made some small improvements. I have turned the flashing cursor off as this is not needed and when quitting the program, the Elk is returned to MODE 6. The code is assembled at Q% with addresses for P% at &2000. This is done using OPTs 4 - 6 as in my Mr Miner program but the DIM Q% &1000 (line90) reserves the space for the code above TOP. This allows the code to be set up whether PAGE is at &E00 or &1D00. The addresses for the variables are set in lines 140 - 180. Some addresses are used for two variables but this doesn't matter as these are not used at the same time. I will just describe in detail the parts which have not been covered before and explain these in the order they occur, referring to the lines which create the code. Lines 220 - 270 create the opening screen as described in my tutorial series. Lines 270,290 stop the program until RETURN is pressed. Line 280 allows you to exit the program by pressing ESCAPE as this sets the carry flag and then the code returns to BASIC. The routine 'readdisc', lines 600 - 630, first gives the command *MOUNT. This uses the OS routine OSCLI (&FFF7) with X and Y registers pointing to the address of the command data at line 2810. OSWORD with A register=&72 is used with parameter block (line 2800) set as in the BASIC version. This reads the two sectors of the fs map to the address W%. I have set this to an address just below the screen memory area. This can be altered if it is not convenient simply by altering the value of W% and re-assembling the code. Line 300 sets COLUUR 2 to Blue and turns off the cursor. The routine 'vars' (lines1100 - 1260) is next called. This first finds the value in address W%+&1FE (X%+Y) and stores this in 'size'. This is the number of used sections of the disc. The two bytes at W%+&FE are found and stored in the two bytes of 'sectors'. They are also stored in 'tracks' and then the bits manipulated (lines 1160 - 1190) to divide the value by 16 to give the number of tracks. The BASIC program then divided by 80 to give the number of sides. This is not so easy to do in m/code and also, having a disc that would only format completely as a 40 track disc, I found this then gave sides as 0!! I then thought that tracks can only have the values 160, 80 or 40. So I have compared tracks with 160 and if equal 2 is printed and, if not equal, to print 1 (lines 1200 - 1220) - much simpler!! The value of sectors is also stored at discsize+1 and +2. This gives the value of discsize as sectors*256, ie the number of bytes on the disc. Line 1250 sets up the character number 224 using VDU23. A comparison is made of the value of sides and, if equal to 1 the character bytes are 224, and 192 if not. This gives a narrower character for a double sided disc. The routine 'grid' (lines 1300 -1690) is rather complex but consists of several sections. Line 1310 uses the data 'd4' (line 2840), first to set the background colour to red and setting the graphics window. After the window is cleared, the screen is returned normal. The foreground colour is then set to white and the background to black. The two sections lines 1320 - 1400 and 1410 - 1490, print the grid using the routine 'plotpt' to set the plot points. The first draws the vertical lines. The number of lines to be drawn are loaded into 'count' and the four co-ordinate bytes of the variable 'plot' are set to zero (line 1420). The loop 'vlp' then draws the lines. The two calls to the routine "plotpt' change the Y co-ords to draw a line on the X co-ord (initially zero). The X co-ord is increased by adding 16 each time round the loop and 'count' decreased until this is zero and then the second section draws the horizontal lines in the same way. The third section (lines 1500 - 1690) prints the track numbers and short vertical lines underneath. Line 1510 sets count to 8, the X co-ord, hex and trkno to zero. The number of sides is then checked, if this is two, the variable 'diff' is equal to 20 otherwise it equal to 10. The loop 'vlp2' first draws the short line using 'plotpt' then the value in trkno is compared and if equal to zero, a zero is printed (lines 1570 - 1590). The value of 'diff' is added and 192 added to the X co-ord before looping back to 'vlp2'. Since trkno is not zero, the track numbers are now printed using the routine 'decprt' (lines 650 - 1090). This routine for printing a decimal number was a routine given in the Micro User Sep 1990. This is used complete as I do not know another routine to do this. The comparison in line 1640 stops the printing of the final track number and ends the routine. The routine 'info' prints the tracks heading and the remaining printing as before using data lines 2850 & 2860 and the 'decprt' routine for printing the values. The routine 'key' prints the key to the colours. For each of the four colours, the co-ords X and Y and the two colour numbers C1 and C2 are set before the routine 'sqr' is called. This sets the colour C1 for key and draws a solid square by using PLOT code 85 twice. The colour is changed to C2 and the outline drawn. The program returns to 'info' for the printing.
