Has anyone typed in the MLX program and the Chopperoids program that
goes with it from the December 1983 issue of COMPUTE! magazine?  This
is a program that is supposed to make it foolproof to type in a machine
language program from their magazine.  It only works with certain ones
of their programs.  Chopperoids is the first of those programs.  The new
January 1984 issue does not contain a mlx loadable program for Atari.
 
Anyway, my problem is that I typed in the MLX program and checked it 
carefully for typing.  I then typed in the game per the instructions.
The MLX program seems to work fine since I can save and load a partial
or complete copy of the game per the instruction.  The complete game
is supposed to be an auto-boot game that can be loaded per standard
instructions without using the BASIC cartridge.  When I do that, it
loads fine.  That is, it loads the full program and doesn't give me
an error message.  At this point, a title page is supposed to come up
followed closely by the game itself.  Mine doesn't!  My screen remains
blank and it just sits there locked up.  I should mention that I am
using the cassette recorder although the program will also work if you
are using a Disk.
 
If you have loaded this program and game whether you are using cassette
or disk, please mail me your results.  I have checked and rechecked
my typing and I don't think I made a mistake.  Any help would be
appreciated.
 
Thanks...
