Re: [M100] REX Classic Message

[Peter Noeth]

Stephen,

  O.K. that would make sense. I have R2C (ROM II / Cleuseau) as my OPTION
ROM but not initialized. I did initialize it a while back to test the
"extraneous space" removal function in Cleuseau and then disabled it. I am
sure that the Image I swapped into RAM never had Cleuseau running.

  Mostly I use the "re-number" function of ROM II, but that only requires a
call to 911, and then it exits back to the System ROM.

  I don't think your documentation lists the REX messages and what they
mean. The usual messages are obvious, but sometimes a message occurs so
quickly a person can't read it (even though the operation of REX is correct
and not an error).

Thanks and regards,

Peter

Re: [M100] REX Classic Message

it is a message telling you that the system software hooks changed.  This
is just informative; Option ROMs often install their own hooks to do
certain things, like removal of their software when the ROM is "removed".

I think this sequence of events can cause the hooks to change, and display
the message.
1) load up and run R2C100.
2) switch to TS-DOS

[M100] REX Classic Message

[Peter Noeth]

I ran REXMGR in REX classic to swap an image into RAM today (t102), and
after the screen cleared, before the System Menu displayed, I got a message
that flickered quickly at the bottom of the display. It was unexpected, but
I think it started with "** System".

I know REX Classic is not being supported anymore, but could someone tell
me what it said. I didn't change the System Date (year) before I ran
REXMGR, so I am not sure if this had anything to do with it or not. There
were no "High Memory" drivers loaded in the image or the current contents
of RAM when I swapped images.

Regards,

Peter
