While running macsounds2amy (converts the data fork of Mac 8-bit sound files to Amiga 8SVX sound format) by: AmigaBASIC macsounds2amy The system crashed, I got a guru #00000004-00C45068 When I tried to run AmigaBASIC again, I got this: (^J is control-j (a reversed-text capital J): Commodore Amiga BASIC^JVersion 1.2 ^JCreated 6 Oct 1986^J Copyright (c) 1985,1 After that, the rest was off the right side of the screen. The program won't run correctly - it looks like the control characters aren't being interpreted... Could anyone out there help me with this problem? -- | husc6!m2c!wpi!jdutka | "No matter how big a straw, you can't suck water up | | jdutka@wpi.wpi.edu | more than 34 feet." | | jdutka@wpi.bitnet | -A WPI PROFESSOR WHO WISHES TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS | | John Dutka _________|_____________________________________________________|

I have this happen to me on occasion for no apparent reason. Everything printed to the output window comes out on one line. The only solution I've found is to go back to my original Extras disk and make a new copy of AmigaBASIC from the original one there.

While we are on the subject of AmigaBasic... I just have to say how good HiSoft Professional Basic is. It is FAST and has a editor/compiler environment together. While the editor isn't the best in the world, it isn't too shabby either. You can create code on your own editor and compile the file if you like. (I wish there was an AREXX port in the compiler though. It is actually stand alone) But the best thing is... I've been very surprised and happy with Michtron's support and efficiency in customer support. There have been two upgrades sinceI first bought the basic. Each time you simply send in the master disks and $5. Each time, the upgrades have shown up in under 6 days (MI. to IL.). This las time, I forgot to include the second disk. They sent a note telling me so, but included a second disk to keep from making me wait!! If you want to program in AmigaBasic, but want speed and efficiency- get HiSoft Basic for sure. Joel

It is FAST and So, there is the answer to AmigaBASIC problems: get a compiler! :-) I use the Absoft compiler, it is older and maybe not as nice as the HiSoft, but I haven't had any problems with the upgraded version (I forgot what version I have, but it fixed the bugs in the original release). I am looking for a compiler that is closer to QuickBASIC 4.0 (or 4.5), to port a medium sized MS-DOS program. The last time I looked, the HiSoft compiler was compatible with QuickBASIC 3.0. I need some of the features of 4.0, like fully recursive subroutines, proper functions, and the new binary file mode. Does anyone know if there is (or is about to be) a compiler that will support these? > >Joel Phil Nelson at (but not speaking for) OnTyme:NSC.P/Nelson Tymnet, ?McDonnell Douglas?
