The compiler seems to work. But the linker crashes (rebooted system when done), and the editor added garbage to the end of the file when it closed the file!!! I can guess why it doesn't work. Trsdos 2.3 is unlike, LDOS, NEWDOS, or even Trsdos 6.0 (clone of LDOS?). But you say, "I thought R.S. sells LDOS now?" They do, but why should they worry if any of their other software runs under it. So caveat emptor, y'all. Rich Piner Purdue Physics Dept. P.S. The MAX and LDOS are really very nice, it's a shame good software is so hard to come by. Let's hope Lobo keeps their promise, and develope their own software.
