Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6753 (OS FOR RAMPAK)
Rick: After down loading R100LD.100 and converting it to RAM100.CO I ran FLCHK.CO (the best checksum program available... it checks .BA, .CO, and .DO files accurately) on the new and old copies of RAM100.CO only to discover that they were the same! The problem was the result of transferring some BASIC programs form disk to the RAMPAK using NPL, then transferring the same programs to RAM using RAM100. Later when I couldn't run RAM100.CO I preformed a LOADM and found that its TOP/END/EXE addresses had changed. It seems that .DO files are not the only ones that are affected, the problem lies in the difference between the way RAM100 and NPL write the directory in the RAMPAK! -=Robert=-
