That is what I am doing, cleaning it up for the model T. The code that I posted makes no sense. The ONGOTO statement only has one entry, and it goes to the next line, where the program would have gone anyway. You can just eliminate that line and it does the exact same thing. On Fri, 10

Jason, I'm glad you left it alone. I think there's historical value in the original text. Having said that, if someone (maybe me?) rewrites it to be more ModelT friendly, that would be fine, too. On Fri, Jan 10, 2020 at 8:39 AM Jason Benson wrote: > > That's the worst way possible to do "press

I was loading the file through Virtual T. and running it just fine. Is it VT automatically converting it to a tokenized basic file? On Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at 4:53 PM John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > Jason, the proper extension for your file is .DO, not .BA. So, DMPS.DO > > BA is for tokenized files

Re: [M100] Dungeon Master's Personnel Service

Jason, the proper extension for your file is .DO, not .BA. So, DMPS.DO BA is for tokenized files only, and inloading a file with a .BA extension into TS-DOS will corrupt your RAM. Well, unless you're using LaddieAlpha.EXE as the TPDD service since it detects that the file content is plain text
