DOSCOM@ does not appear to be in FTN95. What should be used instead?

thanks

See if START_PROCESS@ and/or CISSUE are relevant.

Unfortunately, neither are relevant.

DOSCOM@ is used to get DOSCOM buffers for interrupt handlers.
see page 140 of the FTN77 Library reference.

What is the work around?

PS: what should be used instead of

SET_ALARM_CLOCK@
GET_MEMORY_INFO@

There is no equivalent to DOSCOM@ under Win32. CODE/EDOC sequences that use DOSCOM@ must be rewritten.

Similarly there is no equivalent to SET_ALARM_CLOCK@. In ClearWin+ you can use winio@ with %dl.

Again I cannot think of an FTN95 function for GET_MEMORY_INFO@, however, in this case there will be a simple API function that you can use.

Please note that I have corrected my last posting.

Also the Windows API GlobalMemoryStatus may be useful.
