      From: gids.rs@sasktel.net              The idea of where to place a binary program so that it is protected and can       not be tromped on by variables, strings and expanding programs is a subject       that has been discussed many times, and is still difficult to give a good       answer to.              I played with the idea of putting binary code between the end of the program       and the start of variable space (also known as LOMEM:, which usually follows       the end of the program in memory).              * EP = end of program address       * BS = binary program start address       * BL = binary program length       * binary program can be loaded or poked to the address at EP + 15       * The +15 is needed to skip past the two variables EP & BL, which are       temporarily preserved after the end of the program until the new LOMEM:       command is encountered, then the variables are reloaded to the new LOMEM:       address.       * The binary program length is from Prodos, change to 43634 & 43635 for DOS                      1 GOTO 63998 : REM Must be done before any variables are assigned        2 CALL BS : END               63998 GOSUB 63999: PRINT CHR$ (4)"BLOAD BIN.PGRM,A"EP + 15: LOMEM: EP + BL       + 15: GOSUB 63999:BS = EP +15: GOTO 2               63999 EP = PEEK (105) + 256 * PEEK (106):BL = PEEK (48859) + 256 * PEEK       (48860): RETURN              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
