<This is in reference to the discussion about how the AES reinstalls TRAP #2 and all...> I'm sure there has to be a fairly reliable way to pull off intercepting the TRAP #2 vector. It may require the method of re-installing it whenever the AES tries to change it back and all, which is about as easy from an AUTO program as it would be from an .ACC. The reason I think this has to be workable is that the program Form_Doit from Dan Wilga is doing it, and that is installable from AUTO. Incidentally, I understand that the new Atari Control Panel has hooks into the AES for a modified form_do call that doesn't "lock up" the system. Does anyone know if it is legally patching into TRAP #2 or if it is actually a new form_do handler in the ROMs?

No hooks, just a library routine that is also available to CPX's, since they run as little pieces of XControl. -- ||| Ken Badertscher (ames!atari!kbad) ||| Atari R&D System Software Engine / | \ #include <disclaimer>
