- Short: Provide stderr port for E 3.0b
- Uploader: jvanriper@uncavx.unca.edu
- Author: Joseph E. Van Riper III
- Type: dev/e
- Long:
-
- StdErr is an Amiga E module providing a flexible, durable,
- downright NICE standard error port, in an object oriented
- fashion (sorta).
-
- You don't have to worry about global variables or arcane
- brew ha ha or whatever.. in fact, all the stderr commands
- are prefaced with 'err_', and otherwise look as closely like
- the standard Amiga E functions as possible (eg, err_WriteF
- is the function to write something to the stderr port).
-
- Further, there's nothing to initialize! StdErr handles it
- for you. The only thing YOU have to do is make sure you
- call 'err_Dispose()' at the end of your program.
-
- Be sure to either read the documentation or examine the
- example source code.
-
- FEATURES:
-
- Standard error port (รก la CONSOLE:).
- Error reports directed to a file (will automatically create
- a header before the error, with date and time of error,
- [err_New]).
- Automatic Fault/IoErr() handling (no more mysteries for your
- users).
- Supports Workbench (err_Dispose is the key to this.. tells
- the user how to close the window if it was opened).
- Direction of StdErr message may be changed at any time.
- Preface for Fault handling may be changed at any time (via
- err_Name)
- Works with Amiga E 3.0b (for earlier versions of Amiga E,
- you'll need to find an earlier version of StdErr to use as
- a pmodule with EPP.. which isn't quite as slick as this
- version).
-
- THINGS TO DO:
-
- Perhaps, when using a Workbench, open a window that can be
- closed by the gadget instead of having to press RETURN.
-
- BUGS:
-
- None noticed.
-
- Should work on all normal Amiga computers.
