Hi, I am having some major trouble running a program written in AmigaBasic. I have heard from the person who gave me the program that there is a big bug in AmigaBasic that conflicts with 030 systems and 32-bit RAM. Sure enough, when I try to run the program, I get a big crash. However, when I use NO FAST RAM, it works part of the way. At least more than it did the first time. I am on a 1200/030 at 50Mhz with 8MB Fast and 2MB Chip (obviously). Can anyone help? It is a program to help me with my chemistry homework at Ohio State and I am not doing so hot! Thanks, JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land

If you get absolutely no other offers of help, I would be willing to take a look at your code. No expert, but have written some programs in AmigaBasic. I use one to do the grading for my classes; it crashes under OS 2.0–even if I use NoFastRam, I think, but I also have the old 1.3 ROM in my system, fortunately. But I have some programs that seem to work with my accelerator board (68030 with 32-bit memory)–I'll have to inventory which ones do and which ones don't…

Well, unfortunately, I don't have the code. I just thought that there might be an update to the Basic language or some other workaronud for it. It's a program that was written by one of the professors here at OSU and is copyrighted. He gave me a copy with the instructions that I am not to give it out to anyone else. I appreciate your offer, though.
