Those still have me stumped. Whenever I try to copy them directly to ProDOS, it doesn't get the whole file, just that opening code which does the graphic display and loads the rest. >I recall some games that when 'BRUN' (notice the caps! :) ) would >trash, the text screen, put up a little 'QUICKLOAD' or something logo >and pull all the data off the disk furiously (Seemingly thru locations >in the text screen - the garbage on the screen changed from sector to >sector). Note that this could be confused with programs that load in starting at $3FD instead of the $7FD I mentioned earlier. With those, you just have to strip off that text screen up to $800 and do the same patch from then on. If the text screen is doing some garbage spinning, then it is actually executing some code, and that's the kind that I'm working on. For those programs, you can just boot off your DOS 3.3 disk and run them. You should still switch to ProDOS, and use DOS only when you need to. >Brendan G.
