(Without docs, though.) If anyone has it could you please send it to Houston fileserver (or me directly?).

Could someone out there please lend some assistence with the use of the GENST.PRG program? I picked it up the other day from the Atari BBS, and I can manage some of it, but have some questions. * The version I got was 0.90 dated 1985. Is this the latest version? If not, what is and where can I get it? * There was NO documentation that I could find on the Atari BBS for this program. Does any exist? How would I get that? * I was able to figure out that you use "DS" in the opcode space to define a space of n words, and "DC" to define a word constant. How do I define a string constant? I tried a bunch of things, but all I could get to work is something like: DC "Th","is"," i","s ","a ","co","ns","ta","nt" I would rather do something like: DCC "This is a constant" * When doing an ASSEMBLE with listing going to the screen, there seems to be no way to stop the scrolling of the output, and once it is done the mouse pointer goes away, so I can't use the slider bars on the window to scroll the listing back. Is there any way to either pause the listing while it is going on, or scroll back and forth within the listing once the assembly is finished? Thanks for any help anyone can provide. -- Tim -- tim@brspyr1.BRS.Com uunet!steinmetz!brspyr1!tim ============================================ Tim "The Enchanter" Northrup
