In Outlet Brian or Ron used to recommend adding lines of REM or equiv at the
start, just to move the prog in memory... that has worked before on ease but
it become so much of a guessing game as I didn`t know which bits of the code would best be moved or how much to move it by... i was adding perhaps 15 lines of 40 REMS eventually and then deleting some and the problem sadly kept coming back.

A 400K program would be brilliant if it could be done, perhaps I`m just a messy programmer, hehe... William Mcgugal must have written some pretty big code/apps but I honestly can`t see how it can be done now.

Oh, and I`m using MasterBasic. however I use a version with MasterDos mixed in as well, perhaps that could be the problem as it`s the same version I`ved used for years?

Round the wrong way Steve, It's OPEN n, then the CLEAR... :)

But that's not the problem Calvin is referring to - when BASIC programs get
*big* parts get corrupted (around page boundaries in memory if I remember
correctly...)

And with BASIC being in the ROM there isn't much that can be done about it
is there? I'm trying to think if i've ever read anything a solution... I do
know one chap who uses his own BASIC stock control software which he wrote
himself and is over 400K in size, which uses MasterBASIC - I wonder if
MasterBASIC has any fixes in it to get around the problem.....
