The next few postings are for a checkers program (named cadenza) that I have written. The postings will include the source for the program (in OSS Pascal), the uuencoded binary, and the rules for checkers. The program must be able to write to the disk that it is saved on since it writes a file recording all moves of a game to the disk. Be sure to read the rules carefully. Most people who haven't played checkers for a few years have forgotten some of them. Eric Bergman-Terrell (CSNET address terrell@ohio-state)

OK, I believe that this program works. However when I try to run it on my 520, it doesn't :-). I have a standard, monochrome, 2xsingle-sided disk, 520. No memory upgrade. I get a smart little box that says: ------------------------------- | ______ | | / \ TOS error #35 | | | STOP | | | \ / | | ------ | | ________ | | |Cancel| | | -------- | -------------------------------- Anybody wanna tell me what's wrong ?? I would look it up in the manuals, except that the Dev. Kit manuals I have are such bad photocopies and are largely irrelevant... (Neil, how soon do we get *real* manuals ?? :-) Ralph Mitchell -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ralph Mitchell | VOICE: +44 895 74000 Ext 2561 Computer Centre | ARPA: ralph%ee.brunel.ac.uk@ucl-cs.arpa Brunel University | UUCP: ...!mcvax!ukc!ee.brunel.ac.uk!ralph Uxbridge | JANET: ralph@uk.ac.brunel.ee UB8 3PH | UNITED KINGDOM | "Noli illegitemi carborundum" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

TOS Error #35 is "Too many files open" (no more handles left). Either you glitched the copy of the program, or a prior application wasn't closing things properly. A real book version of the documentation will appear this Fall at book stores. We'll let you know when things get close. --->Neil @ Atari ...lll-crg!vecpyr!atari!neil

I think the problem is probably lack of trailing blanks. BTW, Neil, I get TOS Error #35 even if I re-boot the system, open 1 window and then run cadenza. "Too many files open" ?? You sure 'bout that ?? :-) Ralph Mitchell -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ralph Mitchell | VOICE: +44 895 74000 Ext 2561 Computer Centre | ARPA: ralph%ee.brunel.ac.uk@ucl-cs.arpa Brunel University | UUCP: ...!mcvax!ukc!ee.brunel.ac.uk!ralph Uxbridge | JANET: ralph@uk.ac.brunel.ee UB8 3PH | UNITED KINGDOM | "Noli illegitemi carborundum" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
