The problem started after I the used applesoft tool kit's auto numbering function in the middle of the program. After I saved it I took a catalog and it was 45 sectors long. I had to go out so I shut of the apple. Later, I tried loading the program to do some more work on it. It took a surprisingly short amount of time to load so I listed it, and only the auto numbered lines listed. The catalog still showed 45 sectors used. So I transfered it to another disk, which also showed 45 but only loaded 7 of them. Getting out my Bag of Tricks, I checked the catalog the programs sector list, and the 45 sectors and they all were there. The first seven sectors were the ones being loaded, but I couldn't figure out why it stopped there. Now for my questions: 1) What does the program length in the first sector tell, and who does it tell? 2) I also have a text version of the program that I,ve been up and downloading to a mainframe. How can I convert it to an applesoft program? 3) How can I write a program like PHONE LIST (on system master I think) that can change itself? If I can do that it could load the text file in and write itself. Any other information that might be helpful would be welcome. Thanks in advance, craig. cmacfarlane@bbnccj 617-497-2972
