Mark... you need one bit of information to get .CO files to run on an 8085
processor.  This processor normally runs a .CO file by first, copying it into
himem (assuming the user has reserved room).  Opening up the room is the real
trick.  It's a simple trick.
 
1) Go into BASIC and find the addresses of the .CO file you want to run.  The
command is: LOADM"filename  You will get TOP, END and EXC addresses.  You want
to remember the TOP address.
 
2) While in BASIC, issue the command: CLEAR0,MAXRAM:CLEAR256,topaddress  The
topaddress is the one you gained from step 1 above.
 
You have now reserved running room for your .CO file.  Simply go back to the
menu (using the [F8] function key, for issuing the command MENU), and select
the .CO file you want to run.
 
There's more you need to know about .CO files, and all the machine language
programmer will gladly share their trials and tribulations with you, so I'll
just leave at this point and let your play.  -Rick-
