How to setup an ACTION! Development Disk#
Each Programmer has its own ideas how a development environment should look like. On this page you can find some ideas. If you are an ACTION! programmer feel free to add your favorite setup to this page:
ACTION! Setup#
- Normally I use a blank disk for each new project (serious projects, not quick and dirty tests). I use an ACTION! Cart that can be switched on/off without removing the cart. The disk will be formatted in Single Density or Medium Density Dos 2.x Format (because if I take the disks to a convention there is sometimes no upgraded DD Floppy Drive available).
- Next I copy a dos, mostly Stefan Dorndorfs DOS II+ or XDOS. If I write a PGM for MyDos or Sparta/Bewe, I use that DOS.
- then I copy the essential tools
- the Runtime Source --> ActionSysRuntimeOss and --> ActionSysRuntimeAlt
- the InfoLine Tool (will be posted here someday) which gives two additional Screenlines with Information on the ACTION! System
- some of the Library Routines I need from --> LangACTION
That's all. Nothing special here :)
