Subject: Beeb Networking - 32 bit functions

In light of this discussion I am looking for the spec.

I have located two pages of hand written notes, but not a print out of
the email that I was hoping for.  I will scan these later.

I thought after I posted that I should have checked to see if the
commonly available version of awServer (the one Rick has had on his site
for years) did include these calls.  I gather from your response that it
doesn't.  When I was writing my post I must have been looking at a later
version which I managed to break extending the UI code and have never
fixed. 

I have popped the runimage I was looking at here.

I wouldn't recommend running it though.  I can't really comment on how
finished the 32 bit calls are, but you can see from this code what they
are and what they are supposed to do.

I can't remember which servers will give Archimedes more than 5 open
files, what did you run your test against?

After a very very dusty afternoon I cobbled two A540's and BBC onto an
Econet.

I repeated your test to exhaust open file handles against awServer and
it outputted the following
1 255
2 245
...
29 227
30
Too many open files at line 20
