-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= i downloaded a few of the executioner encoded files from the file server and then 'exec'd them. everything seemed to go fine, but upon executing them, i drop into the monitor. there appears to be garbage at $1000 (there is garbage there) where execution is supposed to begin. In fact, i can't seem to find any executable code in the area of memory in which the program resides. Am I missing something fundamental here? I'm running a //c with prodos 8 and using kermit for file transfers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks -paul nakada@husc4.harvard.edu nakada@HUSC4.BITNET nakada@husc4.UUCP -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I've found that many of the programs from the listserv (or executioner in general I suppose) will not run after they are exec'ed. Often time the problem is a matter of just changing the beginning address of the file from $1000 to $2000 or visa-versa. Just look at a complete CATALOG to see what it is presently. Other times it is a matter of changing the file type from BIN to SYS. Apparently executioner goofs up a little when packing a file (or perhaps the translation gets lost in transfer). Anyways, there is a nice little program on the listserv called Change File Type which will help you in doing these changes. Luckily, it execs just swell.
