Hi everybody,I am not 100% sure that DEF SEG statement is implemented in GW BASIC but if it is, isn't it possible to read timer ticks value from BIOS Data area and initialize random seed using this value? I know it is not the same as "RANDOMIZE TIMER" but would be a close alternative, IMO.
GW-BASIC is the same as IBM Advanced BASIC, except that it does not require Cassette BASIC in ROM. Prior to 3.2 with the exception of Compaq, there are differences - but I don't think this was intentional.
DEF SEG is necessary for BLOAD and BSAVE to operate on screen memory - something I did a lot on my old 5160.
