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.
