The problem turned out to be that the >file from the Executioner was created as a BIN file at A$1000 rather than >a SYS file at A$2000.

Because that's exactly what it _must_ say, considering that the bytes which need to be saved to the file are stored in memory starting at $1000 at that point. After the BSAVE, there will be a BIN file with auxiliary type $1000. The auxiliary type of a BIN file is its default load address. After the E00G, which does a SET_FILE_INFO on the file, the filetype and auxtype will be changed to whatever they were on the original file. The auxtype of a SYS file does _not_ determine its load address. SYS files are always *executed* at $2000. A SYS file's auxtype will often "accidentally" be $2000, but this does not matter. >]create binscii,tsys >]bload binscii1.0.2,a$2000 >]bsave binscii,tsys,a$2000,l3640 > >That will change it to a SYS file that should work, at least it worked >for me. Changing the filetype would be sufficient, but the above is the easiest way to do it using only BASIC.SYSTEM. In Davex, you could just type: filetype binscii sys >Kevin Lepard >Bitnet: Sasquatch@albion.bitnet --David A. Lyons bitnet: awcttypa@uiamvs DAL Systems CompuServe: 72177,3233 P.O.

David, or anyone else familar with Prodos - I find that some shells allow me to run Kermit from the shell and some complain. Kermit is a bin type file. Has anyone attempted to figure a way to make it a SYS so that it can be executed from within the shells? -- Larry W.

If Kermit can handle that, then you're in luck. UUCP: {uunet!rosevax, amdahl!bungia, chinet, killer}!orbit!pnet51!shawn INET: shawn@pnet51.cts.com
