[comp.sys.handhelds] TETRIS FOR HP28S PROBLEMS!!

gcw20877@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (George Wang) (08/22/90)

My brother just typed in the HP28s version of TETRIS recently
posted by a group in Europe... Anyways, he's had CHECKSUM
differences in several of the modules.. The exact module
names escape me (I will have a list by tonight) but he has
double checked his input both with CHK and visually with
the listing...

Also there is a BACKSLASH character "\" toward the beginning
of the program... How does one enter a "\" backslash??

The program does not work.. I think it gave an error
when a SYSEVAL was performed...

Please help!
Thanks
George

I also typed in the program and I had only one checksum error
in the main program 'TETRIS'. But that was no problem, it's
easy to see what the program does (the error was somewhere near
the end of the program; just leave out the "   " and the 2 I
think...?). All the other checksum numbers are correct!!!

Don't.  Just skip that char and type the next line after the
first one.

Then you made a typing error somewhere! I works fine with me.
