- I'm not sure if this is the same thread Magnus started by asking what caused
- the filename below $a000 but I guess it is!
-
- After reading the above I have an additional question; If I patch my Jiffy into
- placing the filename buffer at $0200 - would that work?
-
- I guess it would be no problems on 99% of the cases, but my thought was f.ex. a
- case like:
-
- OPEN 1,8,15,"a file,s,w":print "CMD kicks butt!":next
-
- I'm afraid that the open command would then trash the buffer which would make
- this command "spunk". Am I right? It there an additional way to patch the Jiffy
- into NOT trashing $a000 and not any other normally used area?
