[comp.sys.atari.st] ST - MEGA ST: Compatibility

markhof@exunido.uucp (Ingolf Markhof) (07/13/88)

I saw a icone2 programm running on a MEGA ST. I was told that icone runs 
only on MEGA STs, but it was really nice, so I decided to copy it ignoring
the fact that I own an 1040 ST. Because my ST is upgraded to 2 MB, I hoped
that icone2 would also run on my computer. But I only got two bombs...

So I'd like to know why some programms run only on one machine type, but
not on the other. Further, are there any "compilers" which produce an
ST executeable file from a MEGA ST executeable file? Perhaps, there are
only some memory addresses to be changed?!

Anyway, I'd like to get an version of icone2 which runs on my 1040 ST.
Is anyone able to help?
