- Hi, I'm not much of an Amigados programmer, but I'm trying to do a little
- trick in the beginning of my startup sequence. What I'd like to do is set
- a variable at the beginning of the script _without_ using the built-in
- global and local variables. The reason I need this is rather lengthy,
- but it's partly because I'm also using statram.device, and dismounting the
- built-in ram disk early in the sequence. Is there a short program
- somewhere that would let me write one byte directly to a safe location
- in the hardware (suggestions here would be appreciated, too)? All it has
- to do is last until I get to LoadWB, and that is enough. If I get desperate,
- all I guess I really need to do is make a temporary file on my hard drive,
- but somehow that doesn't seem as elegant. If anybody has suggestions on
- how to do this, please email me.
-
- Thanks!
