[sop to imaginary line-eaters]
I'm looking for some assistance with a specific program for
the 99/4 - "Tax & Investment Record Keeping". It is sold as
a plug-in cartridge - needs disk, etc. to work.
Apparently this program manages all the space on a floppy as
one large file, with some kind of strange internal organization.
The problem is that the program reports "DISK FULL" errors when
the file contains only ~36 transactions out of a possible ~366.
It appears that something is going sadly wrong with the indexing
the program is using to manage the disk space, because a transaction
in one category shows up in a totally unrelated category (somewhat
garbled because of different formats, but recognizable).
Question: Does anyone know of bugs in this software?
If so, are there any detours?
Does TI still support these ROM-based applications,
or am I just out of luck?
I realize the above description is somewhat sketchy - if you
think you can help, please respond via mail & I'll give you the
whole story.
As usual, thanks in advance.
