What's the scoop on ECP16? The copy in husc6.harvard.edu is a
preliminary version that's packed in sq3, but even when 'unq3'ed, it
still seems to be packed somehow. Is there a more recent version? Has
it gone commercial, or is it only available from the author?
On another note- is there a way to load CDA's into memory w/o loading
GS/OS?
Also, is there by any chance a unix-like shell for the GS? Just to
toss some wood on the fire, is there any reason that a person couldn't
take the sources for Unix BSD 4.3 and modify/hack/re-write it to work
on a GS? Seems to me this would be a _real_ good test of a C
compiler...
Hardware: if anyone has a Xebec, datamac, or sider drive(s), dead or
alive, I'm interested. Anybody have a 40meg NEC 5146H they would swap
for a Quantum Q540? How 'bout a Seagate ST225 for a Quantum Q540?
Anybody looking for a //e logic board? How 'bout a couple ][+'s? I
want some new playtoys.... let's trade! :)

Funny you should mention that...Roger Wagner Publishing sells something called P8CDA that loads CDAs under ProDOS 8. I like it...but then Hey: I wrote it. It doesn't work with *all* CDAs, but it works with many of them (OMF 1 or OMF 2, but not Expressed stuff). If the CDA requires GS/OS to be around, you're out of luck, of course.

It's not packed beyond sq3, but for some reason the filetype of the ecp16.sys16 file is bin, not s16. Changing this (by bloading from BASIC and then bsaving it as ts16) gets it working. >--Chan Wilson --- Henry Throop Internet: throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu

They are, but P8CDA is *not* the standard loader. I haven't actually tried loading an Expressed OMF file with P8CDA, but I'm sure it'll barf with a fatal error when it comes across the first segment, since the segment kind is "dynamic data segment" (P8CDA doesn't deal with any dynamic segments at all, although maybe I should have permitted dynamic data segments.) -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
