What's wrong is ME! I uploaded (overloaded) another RD1OF2.DO which is tolerent of slow printers. I neglected to update the message here. If you got 16,073 which doesn't include the 2-byte BASIC end flag, then you got it ok Bob. Once in laptop memory where the end flag is used, consumption is 16,075. So what you got is the "right stuff". I'll put updated sizes here. All sizes are in-memory sizes: 2-byte end flag included for BASIC; 1-byte EOF included for ASCII. ________________________________ The MERGE files RD1OF2.DO (9,964-byte) and RD2OF2.DO (9,217-byte) make up RD.BA (16,075-byte) which is a large BASIC program file. With at least 25,700 bytes of memory free in the laptop, you build RD.BA and save it as follows. * Put only RD1OF2.DO into memory * Use BASIC statements: NEW MERGE"RD1OF2 KILL"RD1OF2.DO * Put RD2OF2.DO into memory * Use BASIC statements: MERGE"RD2OF2 KILL"RD2OF2.DO SAVE"RD * Copy RD.BA someplace safe such as to diskette ________________________________
