Here is an interesting item that I've noticed since I got my GS upgraded. Since one of the things missing from the desktop is the ability to print textfiles to the printer I wrote a small ( <10 lines) program using TML pascal to do so. Nothing fancy, I input a file name as a string, then open it with 'reset ,filename', then open the printer for output with 'rewrite printer' and the write the file line by line to the open printer file. Well when it gets done it 'should' return to the desktop, as well it does on my machine. But when I tried this same program on a GS with the old roms, it fails upon exiting and I get a 'can't find next application' error. I've narrowed it down to the line that opens the printer as a file for output. Its 'standard' Pascal, so I don't see what the difference is. I haven't bothered asking TML about it, since they'll probably reply that the old roms are to be replaced. I'd still be curious to find out what the difference is. Anyone have any ideas?
