Lansing Lines: 21 Has anyone ever successfuly used AMAC and MEDIT under SpartaDOS? SpartaDOS has a wonderful RAMdisk driver, RD.COM, and if you haven't used the original Atari production macro assembler before, let's just say it's VERY obvious Atari had hard disks for the development group. Or depressants. Regardless, I bought the AMAC/MEDIT macro assembler package but would like to use it under Sparta and it chokes. It also assumes the default drive is 1 and some other crimes. Certainly one could always use a ramdisk driver for DOS XL or the like, but what a crime. SpartaDOS is clearly the hot Atari DOS and now it looks like I have to do some work in 8bit ville again so... News would be appreciated. Terry Conklin conklin@egr.msu.edu uunet!frith!conklin The Club (517) 372-3131 Club II (313) 334-8877
