The problem is with subroutine calls in BASIC. In the interpret version it works and when he trys to compile, it always ended up with offset=0. Here are the codes: with BASIC under pc-DOS def seg=&H400; offset=&H20; call offset(dummy) This works. in BASCOM he has def seg=&H400; offset=&H20; call Absolute(dummy, offset) He gets offset=0 no matter what he defines it to be! Good luck! P.S. Just in case you have problem with the telephone number, try I.B. Chang 415 966-7300(W) or 408 733-9479(H)
