I am a recent ST buyer, so bear with me if all this has been discussed before. I have a vanilla 520ST except that I have TOS in EPROMs. I picked up a hippo C compiler and started to try writing some of the example programs. All was going well until I found that some of the graphics interface routines appeared to be non-functional. No problem, I figured I could write them in assembly and use my own names. Then the real problems began. After trying everything I could think of (I have been programming in C and assemblers for many years, so lets not look for the obvious), my assembler subroutines still give me bombs. OK, maybe I was doing something wrong. I tried writing several example programs completely in assembler. They work fine. Seems to me this points to something in the linker/loader, as all the bombers involved multiple modules with C and assembly mixed. Anyway, anybody out there got some helpful hints for me? Even if I find out that my $50 was wasted, that's OK, at least I can stop worrying that I no longer understand anything about computers the 68000 and C and assembler. Thanks
