Last week I was asking for an assembler/linker that could load data files directly into the data segment of a program. Well I finally got a copy of Allan Pratts ALN linker and it does just this. It is fantastic! I also like the partial link facility. Thanks Allan. I now ask the obvious questions:- When are we going to see your new super debugged ROMs? Would a RAM loaded upgrade be posted to the net or will it cost us an arm and a leg? Why not put it in a cartridge?

Because there is better use for the cartridge port: you can use it for a real time clock, I/O ports (tricky but possible) or (like me) as a 1 Meg-ROMDisk (booteble of course). There is a book here in Germany, called The TOS Listing, which has the sources to Gemdos, Ataris BIOS and XBIOS and AHDI in it (two guys de-compiled the Blitter-ROMs...). Here in Berlin we are working on a new version of TOS using theese sources , but I think Atari will be faster. hase -- Hartmut Semken, Berlin (West) (*east of West-Germany :-) hase@netmbx.UUCP answer: 42 question: under development.
