Help with AmigaBasic Bug
3 messages in this thread
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,

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.
