[Oberon] Oberon Splines.Mod

[thomas.kral at email.cz]

Hi Joerg,

I managed to recompile Graphics.Mod and GraphicFrames.Mod, so I have now .rsc files of both.
Now to the Splines.Mod from Ceres-2 project.

I needed to update the source slightly to go with FPGA Oberon V,  perhaps similar changes to be found in Curves.Mod and Rectangles.Mod made by NW.

Changes I made ...

Printer related code commented out

Display.ReplConstC(f, c ...  => Display.ReplConst(c ... left out frame parameter
Display.DotC(f, c ...  => Display.Dot(c ... left out frame parameter

WITH M ... DO ... replaced by ... CASE M of ... :
SHORTINTEGER => INTEGER
SHORT(ENTIRE()) => FLOOR()

ReadFile () => ReadByte()
WriteFile() => WriteByte()

real assigments := 0.0;

message.handle := Handle;  left out
added message.change := Change;            I believe this handles moving objects on display  

It may not be perfect but it compiles and seems to be doing things.

Tomas

If you only have the implementation file (rsc) and don't have the corresponding interface file (smb) that was used during compilation, you have to rebuild (=compile) the complete import hierarchy for your application from scratch. (in the correct order)

Mix and match from different Oberon OS sources/versions is sometimes tricky :-)
