You effectively loaded it as a-duel.db. Once transferred I guess you're accessing the file from BASIC. From basic we're you opening it as a-duel.db or a-duel.do?
Then you renamed it from tsdos. Maybe tsdos sees .db and .do as the same file. Or maybe it's a bug in laddiecon. -- John On Sun, Feb 19, 2017 at 1:03 PM Willard Goosey <[email protected]> wrote: > So I had my fist experience with LaddieAlpha's automatic file extension > mangling, and I'm a little confused. > > So it started with (on the linux side) file a-duel.ba which was ascii > source.
