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. -- John.
