I'm trying to write a binary progarm that trys to make use
of the GETLN routines (as described in the Apple reference manual).
What happens is the when I call the routines and the input
is "LOADER.OBJ0", the program trys to execute the input as a DOS command
("LOAD RE.OBJ0"). I get "FILE NOT FOUND" after a disk access and find myself
back in basic.
The reference manual, to refreash your memory, says the routine
should return with the input in the "input buffer page" (page $02) and
register X holding the number of characters read.
Now I know I *can* get the GETLN routines to behave properly, because
I have a binary program that calls GETLN1 (the one w/o any prompt), and
doesn't do anything weird when the input resembles a DOS command. I could
try to figure out how the program works but I don't think I would like
to trace a machine language program. :-(
My computer setup has a communications card in slot 2 and the
single disk drive connected to slot 6. And, oh yeah, it's a IIe.
If anybody has any ideas on this matter please reply by mail. There's
no use in flooding the net with followups. When someone mails me a solution,
I'll post it.
