A thousand curses on all those people who poke their code straight into the system heap on the SAM. It causes no end of problems with MBAS - I think it puts a short bit of code in there.
The reason I'm annoyed is that I've downloaded some bits and pieces from nvg, in particular those .lcb compressed files, and tried to uncompress them. On loading up the library program, various BASIC lines kept failing syntax - indicating something was wrong. I found it poked code into 16384 and cursed. So I dug out an old disk with Samdos2 on - program still failed. Eventually I got the program to work with MasterDOS on its own, although it wasn't really worth the hassle in the end. However if you're writing a utility of any sort, please use the method of reserving space in the Heap, rather than just plonk your code in at 16384. It's a hassle, but it makes life much easier for those of us who do use MBASIC. ====================== Tim Wells <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> =======================
