+Vorticon Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 The XB loader does not understand the REF directive. Therefore you cannot REF the VDP utilities and things like KSCAN. You must state their addresses with EQU directives. Of course, all the utilities are at a different address to TI BASIC/ED-AS, and I'm afraid I don't have them for XB. Anyway, that is the reason for the run-time error. HTH Ah hah! Now that makes senses. Any idea where the XB addresses are listed? Smart Programmer found on WHT has them -- I'd scan the page but I don't have access to them right now. Good thing Wills brought those up -- I had forgotten about those stupid EQUate requirements! DOH! Found them in the March 84 issue. Thanks! One problem though: CALL INIT does not load GPLLNK or DSRLNK... Bummer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps how many TI programmers does it take to RTFM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few issues, but they are really interesting. It'll take me a while to wade through all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
