I have       an Infocom game called Spellbreaker and the prg file is 3 blks or 3       something. I know it has to be larger than that because if I copy just the       prg flle to another disk. It doesn't run.              Its a stretch for me basically using DOS from the start. Yeah I had a c64 but       the things I did was play games or write really small programs then save them       to disk.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
