Frank, My machine does not conform to thestandard HEX convention. Here is a sample of a line that I got when I used "ASM86" to generate a hexfile. :1B000081BA0001B109E8CB04A080003C007503E9D103BB5B00BA5C05B921009C ^^ Notice the 81!. That appears for about 1/2 of the pgm, until I get a "short" line, then the 81 changes to an 82? Also note that the two "numbers" after the "1B are "00" not "01" that "Hexify" produces. Are these possibly CP/M-86 anomalies? I have not had any luckfinding any CP/M-86 books, do you have any possible titles or authors. Most, in fact all the "utilities" that I have found an A86 (ASM) file for, run on my machie. I have to ssume that all others will too once I figure this problem out. I just have to figure out how to convrt 8 bit files to 7 bit files for download. I am sending a CC to INFO-CPM, maybe I can get some assistance theretoo. Any help would be greatly (GREATLY) appreciated, I am doing this not only for me but about 1000 other Commodore CBM B-128/256 users in my Club. Thanks AGAIN in advance. John (ORPHAN IN OMAHA)
