I remember just before Digital Precision vanished off the face of the
planet, I had a very large box of DP's discs containing a large number of
old QL programs which were all written to run from mdv in 128K of RAM and
nothing else - ie, position dependant code :o(.
I was working for Freddy converting these over to run as position
independant code and hopefully on any system. There was quite a lot of ICE
stuff in there and I suspect the reason it crashes the GC is down to either
the screen memeory being in a different place - everything I converted hard
coded $20000 (131072) as the screen address - or because the code isn't
position independant.
I never got as far as converting the Ice stuff.
I also never got as far as ever seeing the stuff on sale because FV and DP
just 'went' !
Regards,
Norman.
