[comp.sys.atari.8bit] 8-bit ARC

jrd@STONY-BROOK.SCRC.SYMBOLICS.COM.UUCP (04/23/87)

Has anyone out there managed to get the ARCX that's been posted several
times to run on a vanilla 800-XL?  I've hauled it down, decoded it, and
tried to run it a number of times, without success.  I've tried it under
DOS and DOS XL.  I poked around at it with my debugger, and it looks
like it's dying while calling off into high memory (the OS rom) at init
time.  I currently suspect that it was written for an 800, and the entry
points have moved on an XL.  Apparently it works under Omniview; but
that makes the OS act like the old 800 one.  I'm out of ideas.  Anybody
got any info?  Or the sources?
