I received ECP8 off of APPLE2L@BROWNVM and had no problems intalling it. For those who had trouble unsqueezing it with BLU, I did also. Try using the Apple Binary Transfer utility if you have a copy, instead. I think that is was just reposted to APPLE2L just a few days ago. ECP8 is a great system and is lives up to everything I have heard about it. I'd like to register for a full copy of the system except I am having one problem that I would like to solve before I send in my $30. I cannot seem to execute any other programs from ECP. I saved BASIC.SYSTEM to the CMDS subdirectory as BASIC but any time I try to run a program, whether BAS, BIN, or SYS, the system leaves me in Applesoft with with no program and empty RAM chips. I used the "BASIC filename" command like the documentation says and have tried various other combinations but nothing seems to work. ECP seems to find the directory and/or volume that the program I wish to run is on but then jumps back to the CMDS directory and just loads in the BASIC system leaving me with the basic promp ']_'. Am I doing something wrong? Will I get this feature when I register for a full copy? And does anyone else have this problem?
