- Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to debug BASIC/BASICA programs
- so the graphics commands don't lock up the computer?
-
- I have an IBM-compatible computer with a CGA screen. Most DOS and BASIC
- programs are compatible with the computer (I think the DOS version is 2.0).
-
- However, with a few computer programs written in BASIC the commands "GET"
- and "PUT" seem to be the culprits in locking up the computer. When deleted,
- the programs appear to run normally. But when kept, the commands either
- produce strange graphics on the screen or completely lock up the computer
- so I have to reboot the system to do any further work.
-
- Is there a way to redo the statements (instead of using GET/PUT) so the
- computer (hopefully) won't lock up? A couple of other programs that use
- similar statements have worked, but most haven't.
-
- DEBUG.COM hasn't really been much help because I'm not familiar with machine/
- assembly language (I'm more familiar with BASIC). One of the commands I
- encountered, however, when using DEBUG had a statement "LOCK".
-
- Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please reply via email since I
- hardly read this newsgroup.
-
- Thanks in advance for any help!
