Re: (none) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 23 Aug 87 21:23:19 GMT From: jumbo!ehs@decwrl.dec.com (Ed Satterthwaite) Subject: ACTION! vs. 850 handler To: info-atari8@score.stanford.edu I am trying to turn a compiled ACTION! program into an AUTORUN.SYS file. It needs the R: handlers that are downloaded from the 850. When I use the standard AUTORUN.SYS file to load these handlers, then compile and run the program, everything is ok. When I save the compiled program, using the ACTION! monitor's WRITE command, and append the binary to the standard AUTORUN.SYS, I get a file that doesn't seem to work. Immediately after loading it from DOS, I get a garbage screen and the keyboard locks up. Since I have been able to save and run other ACTION! binaries that don't need these handlers, I tried dumping the downloader, disassembling it to verify that it looked relatively innocuous, and embedding it into my ACTION! program as a ML insert. This seems to work fine when I compile and run from memory, without needing the old AUTORUN.SYS file, but the saved binary does not seem to work any better. I vaguely recall some discussion in this newsgroup of some sort of bad interaction between ACTION! binaries and the 850 handlers. Can anyone explain the problem and/or suggest a workaround. Much thanks for any help.

Date: Mon, 24 Aug 87 12:19:58 EDT From: jhs@mitre-bedford.ARPA The less than useful graphics characters may be corrected in later releases of OMNIVIEW. I still have the old ROM in my system but I understand that the new one supports tilde and curly braces. Re: Hayes modem support. I have found it extremely convenient to use the OmniCom keypad editing features to program the numeral keys to send ATDT plus my favorite phone numbers. With CTRL-numeral and SHIFT/CTRL numeral, that is TWENTY possible pre-programmed autodial keys, or ten autodial keys and ten special function keys. A strip of white correction tape can be pasted across the top of the keyboard, just above the numeral keys, to remind you what the CTRL- and SHIFT/CTRL- versions of the keys do. In addition, the sequence gets displayed by Hayes modem local echo in command mode so you can see what number you are dialing. Fred Sullivan's comments on shortcomings of OmniCom should be forwarded to David Young of CDY, as David has been extremely helpful in correcting bugs and adding useful new features when they are pointed out to him. I am sure David will want to provide excellent support to 2400-baud users and will welcome comments on the problems experienced by the few who are lucky enough to already have 2400-baud modems. -John Sangster / jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa ------------------------------ Date: 24 Aug 1987 17:08:07 EST From: "John Bunch" Reply-to: J.Bunch@UACSC1.ALBANY.EDU To: Info-atari8@score.stanford.edu Subject: Atari 8-bit archives...
