Does anyone know how to predict whether a .prg will execute from AUTO with TOS in ROM?

TOS will execute files <bootdevice>:\AUTO\*.PRG in the order that they are in in the directory (as opposed to the order they APPEAR to be in in a desktop window). You cannot do AES calls from a program in the auto folder. Usually the boot device is A:, but that can be changed by the boot sector, if the boot sector so desires. Thus, with the DAS BOOT ROMs, you could boot from B: (or, if you were extraordinarly lucky or flush, C:). This works with any version of TOS, be it in ROM or in RAM. -Landon
