DOpus C Programming guide

Even if DOpus has great for ARexx and other methods to do some programming work, it is often useful to write in C. Sometimes you need a bit of speed, or you need something that isn't available in ARexx, or is difficult Additionally you may be pleased by DOpus' library functions, which are very handy to use.

This guide should be not a replacement for the docs of the SDK, but it should show you how you can easily create a module for yourself - we'll do some examples here, and they'll be well-documented! But you shouldn't expect to find everything to do with C here - it would take me too much time (and it'd give me bloody fingers!).

WARNING: This part of the tutorial was originally written as an AmigaGuide and has been translated mechanically, so some things might work better in the AmigaGuide version of the tutorial which you'll find on the CD. You should also see the directories mentioned in the text for the source code for Helmut's modules.

  1. Introduction

  2. Preparing section (Directory "Simple_Module1")

  3. Beginners section (Directory "Simple_Module2")

  4. Intermediate section (Directory "Average_Module1")

  5. Code fragments (Directory "Code_fragments")
    (It does contain also not direct DOpus related sources, since I saw already some strange stuff done by average coders, especially for filerequesters..., all right Leo ? :) )

  6. Things left to mention...

DOpus PLUS - giving you that bit extra...
