hi !
first: has someone succesfully extracted the files from this multitasking
program posted bout two weeks ago ? simply doesnt work here, it says sth
like path /fen/share ...strange..
second: is there a general method for running basic programs in auxiliary
memory, i.e. how to switch stuff etc ?!
any help would be appreciated....

I got the share program unpacked with no problem, but it seems like you're having the same problem that was encountered with diversi-tune. Try using other unpack/unsqueeze programs. But what you'll do with share when you get it running, I don't know... It's neat but fairly limited. Anyone out there have a simple file-to-printer routine that you can call from basic with a CALL command?? then at least you'd have something of a print spooler. As far as running pgms in the aux ram, I don't think it would be too simple, since you'd have to move the program into the aux ram with a mover of some kind, and worry about your /ram volume, and worry about not bank- switching out your applesoft. It's a fairly common procedure to copy the monitor and applesoft into the upper 16k ram and modify them. maybe you could follow the example for that. sorry I don't have any tech manuals on anything other than the ][/][+, so I can't give you the soft switches. But anyway the problem remains that you can't use both your first and second 64k concurrently; they have to be switched in to access them. I thought somewhere I saw a program (maybe beagle bros) that would use your other memory as variable storage, or maybe it was just for machine language routines (that's an idea - as long as the routine doesn't access your applesoft code you could put it there...). At any rate, unless you're planning on writing a really LONG applesoft program, I wouldn't bother trying to run it in the upper 64. Andy
