Does anyone know of a better source than the Programmers Reference Manual for descriptions of the Kernal routines? Specifically, which memory locations are used to store the information maintained by these routines? I can't believe this info isn't listed somewhere. B<

#R:sytek:-33900:uiucdcs:36100017:000:953 uiucdcs!miller Dec 12 16:41:00 1983 Develop-64, which is an assembler marketed by the French Silk company, also contains a manual called something like "Inside the Commodore 64". Besides informing you how their assembler works, it has many other handy features such as a 6502 machine language guide and, more to the point of this note, a complete memory map. This is a much better map than is found in the Program- mer's Reference Manual. For instance, it tells you all about the Kernal routines and how to use them, e.g., the Basic floating point formats, their calling addresses, and the parameters that have to be passed to them from mach. lang. I've found this manual very helpful. One more comment. Several months after I purchased their disk, they sent me a letter informing me of a bug and the steps needed to fix it. I was impressed that the company thought enough of its customers to keep a list and assist them in such a manner after the sale had been made. A. Ray Miller
