Howard, 59084 is the same as the value you would get with CDOS 3.24. Might well be the same essential structure. Anyway, you'll be getting Supera 2.0 very soon, and I suggest that you use it with your Chipmunk. By the way, don't use any of your old keysets with this new Supera. I haven't heard of any difficulties involving Write ROM and Supera, and I can't think of any reason there should be any. David

I did receive the new Supera a few days ago; thanks. Write ROM, I think, is a m/l program. That is why I asked if Supera would function within it. Did you ever do anything about using Supera safely within BASIC programs as they operate? The supplemental docs are very helpful. I assume that they are not on the tape. Putting them their as a help file (the summary card) would be a nice touch. Howard

Howard: Whilst leaving Candy here to stare at your (UA RE T) prompt, Mortimer and I took a VERY quick look at Write ROM v. 1.3 and Supera v. 2.0 as to their functioning together. Supera's CTRL-K, ESC-1, ESC-2, and SHIFT-CTRL-F worked just fine from within Write ROM. Looking good …. .^Dave^.

Howard, Yes, if you want you can use Supera while a BASIC program is running I'll include the details in the Tips file that I'm planning to upload in a week or so. Sysop Dave knows more about the operation of Supera and Write ROM and so I can't add to his comments. Keep in mind that Supera actually becomes a part of your operating system and so in general it should work with most other software and hardware. David

David: You sent me a version of SUPERA in the middle of June…was that SUPERA 2, or do I need another update? Do you have any information on compatibility between SUPERA 2 and PG Design's 64K RAM? In March '85 you posted a very useful BASIC program to save sets of function keys to tape…does this program still work with SUPERA 2? Thanks, Ken

Ken, No, Supera 2.0 is a significantly greater upgrade than what you received However, you are entitled to a copy of Supera 2.0, and I'll be sending it to you. There will be a PG Designs version of Supera as soon as I get the data I need from Peter of PG Designs. He was supposed to get it to me last week but nothing yet. I'll be putting a Tips file up in the databases in a week or so, that will contain the tape save and load routines for keysets. The earlier utilities won't work with vers 2.0 David

David: Thanks, I'll look forward to the new version of my favorite utility. I will be using Peter's 64K RAM so will be in need of that upgrade when available, also. Ken
