I never say imagecraft C can't use peek and poke???? I can see, you don't
understand my  mail. Wich i see is : make beep the handy is not simply put a
byte in a place into the memory, no way. you have to write a interrupt
routine , and do adiitional work . Your large explications over that
question sound well , but is not really true. Chuck Mcmanis send me a e-mail
explaining to me how to make beep the handy, i reply that for you so you
will know how it wotk really.
Anyway thanks for your time. Ah, yes i'm live in Argentina and where you
from?.

German Gentile--

You said that Imagecraft C does not support peek and poke into memory. • That
seems very odd.  I've never heard of a version of C not having such
elementary operations.  If you can peek and poke into memory, then you can
write your own beep and tone functions using the same memory addresses that
the Interactive C functions use.  Perhaps, instead of peek and poke, you
could define a pointer variable and (very carefully) explicitly assign it
the appropriate address in memory.  As far as the bit manipulations go, you
can fake those if you know a little about base arithmetic.

If you can't use peek and poke, you can still write your own beep and tone
functions.  You'll first need to write assembly language routines that do
basically the same thing that the Interactive C functions do, with access • to
the appropriate memory locations.  Then you'll need to assemble the code
into machine code and download it.  Finally, you'll need to figure out how
to execute the machine code from within Imagecraft C.  This sounds like a
lot of work.  Of course, if you can find a way to read and write particular
memory locations from within Imagecraft C, your job will be that much
simpler.  Good luck.

BTW--I'm curious about the '.ar' suffix on your e-mail address.  Are you in
Argentina?
