Not the disk where the executable resides, but the disk on which the file it works on is, is making the difference. >This may be the problem you are having with note and point too...

Yes, Note and Point work normally (file offset) on SpartaDOS format disks and like AtariDOS on those disks. Ok, since the AtariDOS on-disk structures don't give this information, it's clear that it does not work there. By why did the SpartaDOS authors not use different XIO function codes for the improved version? Now I'm kinda stuck. I need a way to find out the DOS format (Sparta/non-Sparta) of a file at runtime. Anyone got any ideas (Atari experts on the list)? regards, chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
