Hi
I just tried to copile the code using 2.40 ROMs. It crashed somplace
in the
third side of the disk. I suspect it may be that I ran out of tokens
or something.
I do know that the TCOMP code is not optimized to take advantage of
the
assembler that is built into 2.40 ROMs.
I've not done much to determine where and when it fails.
I'd made a small change to the assembly code for reading the disk
to account for newer types of disk drives( still basically 720K but
doesn't
need the drive ready signal ).
I will just use the 1.74 ROMs for a while to get my project done then
look at what dies using the 2.40 ROMs.
Also, Sandy, I still have your screws on my desk?

Hi Dwight and all Cat lovers,

One of the Cat's creators, Dave Boulton, died last Saturday after a
long battle with a massive stroke. I will have details of the
Memorial service soon.

I will get the screws soon I hope, soon as I can touch ground.

Sandy

Here is the memorial info for Dave Boulton. You all know Dave as he
is one of the creators of the Cat. The following is from Bette,
Dave's cousin.

Hi everyone:

There will be a service for Dave at 1 pm on October 23rd. It will be
held in the Pacific Chapel at Skylawn. I hope each of you can spread
the word and bring as many of Dave’s associates to the service – I
would love to have a full house.

Skylawn is located on Highway 92 at Skyline Blvd.

We need to have photos to place into the guest book and put on display
at the service. As Dave is being cremated the urn will be at the
service. If I have not already told you, he donated his cornea so that
2 more people in the world will have sight.

Take care – see all of you soon
------------end----------------
I hope everyone in reasonable range can make it to show respect for
Dave. If anyone has pictures or anecdotes please send them to me or
post them here so I can send them to Bette.

Thanks,

John O. 'Sandy' Bumgarner sandybum at gmail dot com
