I'm totally confused now. I've been trying to get a program originally
written for a 16K or 32K Commodore Pet/CBM to run on a C64. The program
is written in Commodore BASIC and I've been able to successfully load
and list it on a C64. The only problem is that the program contains
some POKE's which locks up a C64. The POKE's are video and sound
routines. The video routines are supposed to display Commodore ASCII
characters on various places of the screen. How can I get this program
to work on a C64? I remember reading a way in a old issue of Compute!'s
Gazette of how to make a C64 think it was a Pet/CBM by entering a few
POKE's. Does anybody have these? I could change the memory addresses of
the video/sound POKE commands if I knew their equivalents on a C64 but I 
don't. I'd appreciate any information which could help me get this program
to work. Please respond via email if possible. Thanks in advance.
