I have two questions:
1: Does anyone know where I can find out how to launch BASIC files from GS/OS
(I can't seem to get BASIC.LAUNCHER to work...)?
2: also, back on my //e,
I wrote a SYS program in assembler which would load some old 3.3 games I'd
converted to PDos8. This SYS program loaded itself in at $2000, of course,
copied a part of itself over to $300, then proceeded to load in from disk
any BIN file and run it. This worked fine in PDos8 but results in system
crashes when I try it from GS/OS on my //gs. Does anyone know where I can
find out why, or know the answer themselves?
Thanks. jeff stern.

Alternatively, you can double click on BASIC.SYSTEM to get back into the good old BASIC.SYSTEM environment. BASIC.LAUNCHER is used by GS/OS to pass the name of the program onto BASIC.SYSTEM and can't really be accessed directly. >Thanks. jeff stern. >-=- >stern@cis.ohio-state.edu: Internet | "Eppur si muove." | >osu-cis!tut!stern : UUCP | -Galileo |:->{===# >72647,1527 : CompuServe | ` / Alan H.

Normally there is an icon in FINDER.ICONS that matches the Applesoft filetype and specifies */BASIC.LAUNCHER as the application to run. Just double-click on an Applesoft program, making sure you have BASIC.LAUNCHER *and* BASIC.SYSTEM at the top level of your boot disk. If this doesn't help, what exactly is happening? >2: also, back on my //e, > I wrote a SYS program in assembler which would load some old 3.3 games I'd > converted to PDos8.

It sounds like it ought to work okay. I can't think of a reason for it to crash offhand, so either try giving more details (what does it say, exactly, when it crashes, for example--weird numbers could easily mean something to me), or mail me a disk w/ something I can crash myself (address in my signature). --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

Stein | stein@uconnvm.bitnet Not Quite true you have to first modify the attributes of the basic ICON or the application Icon to tell it to first go to Basic.launcher. For this you need an ICON editetor such as DICed or ICONED. Both are in Apple2-l. Grant
