______________________________________________________________________________ Has anyone typed in the MLX program and the Chopperoids program that goes with it from the December 1983 issue of COMPUTE! magazine? This is a program that is supposed to make it foolproof to type in a machine language program from their magazine. It only works with certain ones of their programs. Chopperoids is the first of those programs. The new January 1984 issue does not contain a mlx loadable program for Atari. Anyway, my problem is that I typed in the MLX program and checked it carefully for typing. I then typed in the game per the instructions. The MLX program seems to work fine since I can save and load a partial or complete copy of the game per the instruction. The complete game is supposed to be an auto-boot game that can be loaded per standard instructions without using the BASIC cartridge. When I do that, it loads fine. That is, it loads the full program and doesn't give me an error message. At this point, a title page is supposed to come up followed closely by the game itself. Mine doesn't! My screen remains blank and it just sits there locked up. I should mention that I am using the cassette recorder although the program will also work if you are using a Disk. If you have loaded this program and game whether you are using cassette or disk, please mail me your results. I have checked and rechecked my typing and I don't think I made a mistake. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks... Kit Kimes AT&T Technologies, Inc. Montgomery Works Aurora, Il. 60507 ..!ihnp4!we13!mgweed!kek
