- '1100<ADDENDUM 9.5/9.6 (JULY 15, 1980)
- 1110
- J11201) Control-D now works like it does in North Star BASIC. To get the
- L1130 second occurrance of a character, enter control-d and the character
- I1140 a second time. You do not have to enter the character itself to
- &1150 fill in the first occurrance.
- 1160
- N11702) The @ character can be used as a valid input character. It no longer
- 21180 will be accepted as an editing character.
- 1190
- L12003) BOOT has been changed to always jump to E800. This is because both
- G1210 new single and double density boards have the prom at E800 and
- F1220 only the very old single density boards use the prom at E900.
- 1230
- K12404) The question about memory size has been deleted from the configure
- G1250 procedure. Instead the program will determine the memory size
- K1260 itself. This is done by writing zeroes throughout memory and then
- N1270 reading them back. When it does not get a zero back, it assumes that
- L1280 is the top of memory. If this top does not fall on a page boundry,
- J1290 the message "MEMORY ERROR AT XXXX" will be printed warning you of
- K1300 a possible memory problem. If you want to force the top of memory
- J1310 to be something other than the true top, change the top-of-memory
- 0 variable at 2D41H.
- 1330
- I13405) The word PAGE has been eliminated from the first line during the
- B1350 PRINT command. Page numbers will still appear as before.
- 1360
- H13706) When you edit a line using the EDIT command, a right arrow will
- J1380 appear on the line ahead of the edited line. The purpose of this
- F1390 is to indicate that what comes next is the edited line and to
- J1400 shift the line over one character to line up with any lines above
- /1410 it that you may want to pattern after.
- 1420
- M14307) Bugs in BSAVE/BLOAD, comment lines, and NSAVE have been checked out.
- K1440 Since many double density users are also using quad density, NSAVE
- H1450 does not check for room on a disk. This is because a file that
- K1460 would not fit on a double density disk would fit on a quad density
- K1470 disk by writing on the second side. Someone with a double density
- M1480 disk, however, may get a disk error trying to write to a nonexistant
- K1490 track in the last file on the disk. This is not a bug, but rather
- H1500 a lack of intelligence by the program. If you get a disk error
- G1510 trying to NSAVE the last file on a disk, simply put in another
- H1520 disk with more space. Also remember that the file size created
- L1530 during NSAVE is four blocks larger than the size displayed with the
- D1540 FREE command. The line number bug in BSAVE has been fixed.
- 1550
- +15608) The data area now begins at 6100H.
- 1570
- I15809) The default system, prior to using CONFIGURE, is now set for 24K
- I1590 of memory starting at 2000H, a 24 line CRT, a 78 character input
- F1600 line, continuous forms printer, and line wrap around enabled.
- 1610
- G162010) When using the insert feature in EDIT, the line length may go
- A1630 beyond the screen length to a maximum of 138 characters.
