In case this saves anyone else some time, I have been doing the
learning curve creating a working twin-mode app.
I started with the base code in TWINOPL in the flist here, and it
DOES work, despite the programming manual saying you need *two* top
level apps, one for each machine. I ended up with:
TOP (compiled for S3) --- SUB3 (compiled for S3) ------\__ COMMON.OPO
--- SUB3A (compiled for S3a) ----/ (comp for S3)
The CATCH is that although TOP is compiled for the S3, it's type must
still be $1000 or similar, and the icon file MUST be a WSPCX-linked
24x24,48x48,48x48 PIC file, i.e. MUST be multiple and MUST have a
grey scale. Anything else in the above doesn't work (at least, not
for me). I now have a single .OPA which installs correctly on each
machine and which has its common code fairly neatly segregated out. I
tend to store SUB3, SUB3A and COMMON in an \APP\MYAPP\ directory,
which keeps things out the way, the TOP.OPA being of course in the
main \APP\ directory.
I do hope this helps someone else ...
