- I have not laid eyes on an Atari DOS 2.5 manual in years. I quit
- using Atari DOS the day I got MyDOS. I quit using MyDOS the day
- I bought SpartaDOS X. I gave my sister all my documentation for my
- old stuff and no longer have access to it. The SpartaDOS X manual
- lacks in much Technical Detail and contains nothing about Binary Files
- (that I could find, at least). So, in answer to you question.... NO.
- Reading out of a book would have been just as easy as reading from a screen,
- if I actually had one.
-
- BTW- Speaking of incomplete documentation..... Has anyone gotten any closer
- to figuring out the FE FF header in the SDX .COM files? I havn't played with
- it in a while. It would be nice to be able write those totally relocatable,
- memory resident, library sharing, etc., etc., files. To bad ICD still
- won't give out any info.......
