Is there any reliable, documented way to tell whether or not GEM is fully loaded? I want to run a program from an AUTO folder that replaces the GEM process termination vector at $408. If I set the vector in the AUTO folder, GEM just clobbers it when it comes up. Currently, I install a VBI which waits for a fixed amount of time, and then sets the vector. This works, but is (obviously) not guaranteed to work in the future. Is there an Atari-sanctioned way to pull this off? I notice from the Headstart documentation that Johnson & Eidsvoog do something involving the line F trap. I don't see why one has to resort to such tactics. Ideas? Dave Baggett dmb@cscwam.umd.edu
