Subj: TROUBLE LOADING .CO FILES
Hi Rick, Been a long time since I've asked for help, but have been really stuck on a bit of a problem - think I finally got it figured out though. Be interested to hear what you think: I was having trouble loading a .CO files into my Model 100 from disk, the little utility called LENGTH.CO. It does what it says, gives you the size of files in RAM. It loads above himem so it's not supposed to interfere with other files. However, although it would appear on the menu, I could not run it. I would get a beep and go back to the menu. I set himem to "maxram" thinking there might be a residue of something up there that was clashing. I tried loading the program from a tape copy but no luck. I'm sure that each time, I was doing a proper "SAVEM" with file name and the start and execute addresses and so on. Finally, as a last resort, I cold-started the computer and was successful after a few more tries. Funny thing is, a cold-start (an unplanned one!) was what required my reloading my favorite programs, including this one, into the computer in the first place. Hmmm. If it was my PC, I'd suspect a virus! Course it's been a while since I've had to reload stuff into my Model T and I may be rusty on my technique. Any ideas? Thanks, Rick! Take care, ... Paul
