Hi there, I don't want to sound like an idiot, but I have been having troubles in getting files for the //e and then trying to EXEC them I have taken files off of comp.binaries.apple2 and have downloaded them onto my computer using KERMIT-65 and they arrive fine. I noticed that BLU228.EXEC and EXECUTIONER.EXEC both need to be on ProDos, so I used COPY ][+ V7.2 to transfer them to a ProDos disk. Once I had these files on a ProDos disk, I booted up PRODos 1.1.1 Master Disk and then tried to EXEC them both, they both started off fine giving me a screen full of *'s and then they both would just stop for no apparent reason. The closest I have got was with BLU which crashed with an error and left me with a BLU.BIN file, but I have been told it is a SYS file. When I get a file from comp.binaries.apple2, I remove everything above and including the cut line and usually check the end of the file to make sure there isn't some kind of trailer. I have been using Apple //'s for over 7 years now, and am being to feel more and more like an idiot for not being able to figure this one out. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.... Desi Fuller.
