This is why we have such general rules as "rom code can't rely > on disk files" and so on. In some situations, we need to improve on this. This is, of course, not very convenient. Why is there not a rom-based library that creates temporary processes just for the purpose of accessing the DOS? I already speculated that the (undocumented) ramlib.library was used for this, but it seems that this is not so. By the way, what *is* the ramlib.library used for? > jimm -Olaf Seibert (using Jan's account)
