- HURRAHHHH!!! Yes It does!! Thank you very much....
- I've now got the sfx LHARChiver working.
-
- One or two strange things still happen though... any suggestions?
-
- 1) After booting I have to POKE 7119,18 in direct mode. The autoexec file
- now has a line that says "POKE7119,1*16+2" but doesn't seem to do it.
-
- 2) I have 3 drives; 8, 9, and 10. CS-DOS makes drive 8=A, 9=C and 10=
- nothing. Drives A and C work fine, but typing C: causes a 74, drive not
- ready error from drive A.
-
- 3) After a file self-extracts, trying to read a directory (on the 128)
- results in a 'FORMULA TOO COMPLEX' error.
-
- But - it works, and I can now condense/combine the many files on our clubs
- BBS making them use less memory in RAMLink and faster to download!!
-
- Many thanks again, and all the best for 1993.

- Cheers - Kirk
