- Hello.
-
- This program was written using the AutoZest interface and GFA BASIC. Its
- main use is to calculate the STOS values required for STOS interpreter and
- STOS compiled programs for virtually all TOS versions.
-
- The interpreter fix part requires the BASICxxx.PRG to be in the root
- directory of the current directory. The resulting file that is created is
- BASICRRQ.APP and it contains the new address changes.
-
- The compiled program fix part requires that the file is not compressed
- (with ATOMIK, PACK-ICE, etc.). It will check if the file is compressed and
- will often not write the changes to the file, but if it does, it changes the
- original file extension to .123, so that you will always have the original
- file.
-
- DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM TO UPDATE COMP_xxx.PRG (the STOS compiler file) BECAUSE
- IT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY AFTERWARDS.
-
-
- If the file is compressed, it can be decompressed with Mega Depack, which
- is available on GEnie(file #24286) and probably on other network systems.
-
- The joystick address finding routine has been fixed to work with less
- joystick movement. In order for it to work, the joystick must be in port #1
- (not the mouse port, in case you didn't know). Then, just follow the on screen
- instructions and then the address will be found. After it finds the address, it
- will ask you if you want to save the results as defaults. If you select YES,
- then it will save the results to disk as DEFAULTS.DAT. These values will then
- be in memory every time the program is run, so that when you want to allow
- other STOS compiled programs to work on your TOS, you don't have to go through
- constant testing of the joystick address.
-
- When it writes the file to disk with the changes, it also turns the
- FastLoad option on.
-
- If you have any questions, comments, or anything else you want to tell me,
- or if this just doesn't work at all, send me mail to (R.QUEZADA) on GEnie.
-
-
- Robert.
-
- P.S.
- There may be a chance that this might not work on early STs with the TOS
- 2.06 conversion board. I think that I have fixed the problem with the original
- program so that it will now work on those STs.
