[comp.sys.atari.st] HiSoft Basic Supexec problem...

cs325ec@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (04/10/90)

	I noticed something...

		from turbo C:
			supexec(0xfc00a6L)
	
	performs a reboot of the disk (TOS 1.0) without changing the
	current sync rate (50/60Hz)... but
		

		from HiSoft Basic:
			Supexec(&hfc00a6)
	
	returns 4 bombs (Illegal instruction)
	as does:
			x&=FNSuper&(0)
			call loc &hfc00a6

	Can someone who knows HiSoft Basic explain why?  I have a friend who		has HiSoft basic, but no C compiler, I wrote the first in C, but
	the translation into HiSoft produces unexpected results...

I will try and check up on this for you (although the code is more than a little naughty).
