Hello Klaus!

Replying to a message of Klaus Kulbarsch to Mike Bilow:

 KK>>> To be helpful in these cases, I think Watchcat should be
 KK>>> installed to be invoked via the Game- or a ComPort (discussed
 KK>>> in the DOCs) rather then by the keyboard.

 MB>> This is a programming echo.

 KK> Thanks for the friendly hint :-). I'm reading this echo for learning.
 KK> My knowlegde in programming under OS/2 is small (just did some coding
 KK> in Basic, Z-80-, 6502- and x86-Assembler and, for the last years,
 KK> Pascal for DOS). Actually, I'm stumbling through the jungle of GNU C,
 KK> hoping that somebody will develop Pascal to become a 'real'
 KK> OS/2-language.......
There are OS/2 pascals, Read the announcement of VP/2 (virtual pascal for OS/2)
or try to get to www-page http://xs4all.nl/~atverm, on this page there is a
description of a compiler called Speed pascal. Currently the official
version is 1.0, but they are working on a version 1.5 (in beta test
allready).

 MB>> I was recommending WatchCat not because it is a useful utility,
 KK> But what happens if both, keyboard and mouse, are completely 'cutted
 KK> off' by another misbehaving thread in such a way, even WatchCat's
 KK> device driver doesn't receive a message from the keyboard?

 KK> Once again: thanks for your friendly and helpful answer and, please,
 KK> excuse my terrific english.
We cannot all be equally good in english; we don't mind as long as we
understand what you mean.

 KK> Klaus

Bye, Erik!
