Subj: REPLY TO MSG #2234 (WARM.BA)
Tracy, Actually, the bug is probably me. I have noticed that some .CO programs are a bit more interactive and user-friendly than others: CR&CR, DO2BA and some others seem to share similar code - they'll show you the files in RAM and prompt you for a response. Others, like SORT.CO, rely on you to remember what's in RAM and don't prompt you. So, although I use WARM.BA (in one version) to load CASUTL, FLOPPY and PACK, only PACK returns you to the WARM "menu", while the others return you to the 100/102 menu. I do think there's a difference in the way .CO programs are set up, but as I am quite ignorant of machine code and assembly, I couldn't begin to say what the differences are. By the way, I just received an extRAM for my 100. I've read the documentation - this thing sounds very clever! I'm anxious to install it, after I upgrade the 100 from its puny 16K to 32K. Keep up the good work. I hear a 128K extRAM is on the way and, eventually, an extRAM that's 386-SX compatible for MS-DOS or OS/2... (NOT!). <Lex>
