A92: Re: ti structure info !
Hi there !
I've just started programming on ti with fargo and after having a look at all
documents around there, I still have unsolved questions. I haven't found
others docs so here are my queries, if someone could help it would be really
cool !
* what is the meaning of the first word in a folder/variable table ?
actually the mem block pointed by a folder handle looks like :
type size description
word 2 ?
word 2 number of folders
char 8 folder name
word 2 ?
word 2 folder handle (points to var table)
I'm really curious to know about the meaning of these 2 (?) words.
* how the calculator manage to determine the type of a variable ? Actually
when looking at a variable memory block, we can see a first word giving the
variable size, then comes another word which is unknown to me, finally comes
the file data ended with a 2 bytes checksum. First I throught the word
following the size was a flag describing the variable type but I've noticed
that 2 var of the same type had different values. I concluded this should
be a kind of bookmark for the program/text/etc editor. So how the ti get the
type ?
Weel I think that's all I wanted to know for the moment, I hope that someone
can help...
Thanks.
