If Zlink is bad how >about someone uploads a new copy?? Z.Link went from APPLE2-L to comp.binaries.apple2. There are TWO <--- count 'em - 2 - files *AND* they MUST be EXEC'd in the correct order (part 1 first, for you logic phreaks :-) Part 2 has some extra BLOAD and BSAVE lines at the end which are CRITICAL to getting the two binaries pieced together into one bunny file. I got a "SYNTAX ERROR" before the last BSAVE which I think was a reaction to the E00G line (usually that envokes a routine which writes the directory entry, but the way Dave put the file together, it apparenltly doesn't matter). You should get a file named: Z.LINK.BNY After what happened with (to?) Z.LINK+ (the one someone decided to load a virus onto), I'd be leery of a Z.LINK I didn't KNOW came from Dave Whitney. Sooo.... if you've problems getting Z.LINK unpacked, I'd recommend you deal direct with Dave Whitney (that's the email address in the docs). An even more sure-fire way to get a nice clean working Z.LINK (and Dave's dedicated personal service ;-) is to mail a $25 check with your name and address to: Dave Whitney 450 Memorial Drive Cambridge, MA 02139 (help put a fine young American through and EXPENSIVE *whew* college!)
