- Hey guys, you are talking about Sparta 4.19 and 4.20, not 2.19
- and 2.20. And there are more differences than just the Ataridos
- module..here is what the insert to the manual says the diff. is:
- ----
- "These changes were made for release 4.2 of SpartaDOS X:
- Compensation added for bug in Atari Basic which caused no EOF when
- stack pointer <$80. Extra EOF removed when using CIO put-record
- with ICBL set to 255 and record length less than 255 when not using
- X.COM or CAR.COM.
- "X.COM changed to work properly with AtariWrite[r] Plus and other
- programs that execute reset code as part of initialization (this
- modified X.COM is available as XX.COM from our BBS (1-815-968-2229)
- and as XX.ARC on GEnie and CompuServe).
- DUMP now resets left margin to previous value on exit.
- FORMAT resets and restores CHBASE to "look right" with programs
- (such as AtariWriter Plus) tat use redefined character sets.
- "Error when attemting to execute 0 length files corrected.
- High speed supported for formatting XF551 drives modified with
- 3-1/2" 720K drives using Bob Wooley's modified ROM."
