TS-DOS? The only problem I know that causes corruption with TS-DOS is
mistakenly trying to inload a file named with a BA extension that's not
really a tokenized BASIC file.

You should always rename ASCII BASIC files as .DO before inloading. You can
inload a .BA file, but it must actually be tokenized BASIC.

What file service software or device are you using? LaddieAlpha doesn't
have this sharp edge but all others do.
