#AMIGA BASIC
17 messages in this thread
I also needed to upgrade the memory on AmigaBasic, for a large program I was
converting from Commodore 64. for example, I used CLEAR,110000. This gave me
110000 bytes free for programming. All was good and fine. I got the first 3/4
of the program entered before I HAD to sleep. Next time I loaded (or tried to
load) my prog., it wouldn't. It appears AmigaBasic is stupid, meaning it
can't figure out for itself that a program is larger then the already
allocated segment of ram, and increase accordingly. This means that for
programs that exist only in expanded memory chunks, you have to write a boot
program like:
CLEAR,110000 CHAIN "ActualProgramName"
This will save you a few headaches. Let me know how you make out… Bye for
now…Ewan (E-Squared!)
Yikes! That's one _large_ Basic program! Good point about needing to boost
the segment size before trying to squeeze in more than the default value.
Just thought I'd throw in a point about the CLEAR function that I ran across.
Clear will only resize the memory once per boot. This is a bug that microsoft
is aware of and supposdly there will be a new release of amiga basic and this
problem is amoung the things that will be fixed. Steve.
Steve – What do you know about the "new release" of AmigaBASIC? I talked with
ABSOFT today and they say their AC/BASIC which is a compiler for AmigaBASIC
is "officially sanctioned" by MS. Bad news is the $295 price and the
June/July release date. Doug

Hey, E^2. How's things. Got a NEAT Compiled BASIC. Will talk when I get to
Vic.
