Yeah, it was VERY small - that was the major requirement. It took up $D000-$D3FF, which is 1k. I gave it a ProDOS-like API so it was easy to use, but it was a very limited API because the memory was limited. I had pathnames, file open, read, write, close, etc. though. > - How long did it take to write?

I worked on it with my friend Lane Roathe. Lane did the 256-byte RWTS routine (the low-level) and I did the high-level code that supported the disk structure and API. There's an easter egg in there too. :) Here's a link to it: http://hometown.aol.com/graemecree/infobugs/infonote.htm Just doing a Google of: infodos romero will get you there. - John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
