A lot easier said than done, even in a large urban area like Chicago.  I
wish we had a good local Atari dealer like you that was willing to take
the time and effort to learn Atari repair and sold at a discount.

Subject: STart problems

Quite a few (several) notes have been posted about problems with the most
recent STart magazine (Spring 87); apparently differences exist between the
provided source code and the executables.  I posted a note about a week ago
inquiring if anyone had REBOOT and TWISTER working from that disk:  after
several notes back and forth, Jeff (Makaiwi%cory.Berkeley) pointed out that
re-compiling REBOOT increased the size of the executable some (7????) bytes:
apparently just the amount of code required to set the verify flag OFF (my
original problem).

Hope this is more than useless...

To: info-atari16@score.stanford.edu

Please explain, at the risk of repeating this on the net,
what the symptoms of the "40 folder" bug are.  Please, no
guessing, only accurate info is needed on this one.  In addition,
a brief explanation of what the source of the problem is would
be interesting.  If you feel this info has been beat to death on
the net, email me a reply.  Thanks in advance!

Subject: Calling Alan Page
To: info-atari16@score.stanford.edu

Hello,  I need to get some information from Alan Page regarding
the bindings he wrote for Beckmeyers Micro-RTX and Megamax.

For those of you who are not Alan Page but know about his whereabouts,
send me mail.

If you happen to be Alan Page, I need to resolve some problems I am having
using your bindings.  First, there seems to be a missing op-code in the _exit
routing, looks like this:

_exit:
    LINK    A6,#0
    MOVE    8(a6),-(a7)
/* pterm call*/ #76,-(a7)
    TRAP    #1
    etc....
clearly, there must be an opcode before the #76 (I think it is probalbly a
move.w).

Also, even with the above assumption,  the linker complains about fclose.
Even with that removed, the liker is unable to find the RTX calls from
a main program, one of the demos provided.

I did the following after slightly hacking mmrtx.c

mmcc mmrtx.c
mmcc qdemo.c
mmlink qdemo.o mmrtx.o
