Title: loadwb command
Post by: pjhutch on February 26, 2005, 12:02:11 PM

Does anyone know how LoadWB command works? I have seen source for GoWB but thats for WB2.0, what about WB1.3?
Theres not much in the NDKs about it.

AFAIK, it simply opens workbench.library, and calls StartWorkbench() (LVO @ -42)
 Not sure about it`s paramaters, as it`s a private function, but I think it`s d0 and a0.
 a0 appears to be the result of a FindTask(0) from LoadWB, dunno about d0 though.

Thanks
I have never seen any references to this function in the RKRM's or NDKs. Where did you get the information from?

Some of it was looking at the fd file from AROS, the rest was from disassembling it and having a quick look.
  I`ll have to have a proper look, but I think it also takes an arg in d1 as well, but the fd from AROS didn`t mention that.. :-?
