Ok, I have managed to assemble and link a program!
.R MACRO
*DEMOFG.OBJ,DEMOFG.LST=DEMOFG.MAC
results in the expected listing and object file (I'm glad Gary Kildall
modelled CP/M after RT-11!)
Then I linked it with
.R LINK
*DEMOFG.SAV=DEMOFG.OBJ,ODT.OBJ
Then I ran it with
.R DEMOFG
and it ran, popped into ODT which I continued out of and exited 'cuz the
background program wasn't running.
OK. So we're almost cooking, but it raises some interesting questions:
1) I can compile on the other disk by preceding the names
with DX1: in the assmbler line.
2) How can I run a program on DX1: ? If I type .R DX1:PROG
it says ?ILL-CMD?
3) Which side of the disk is the directory on? (inner or outer
tracks?)
The last question relates to the disk problem I'm seeing. My guess is that
write precompensation is screwed up on that disk which would explain why it
works until it writes the directory.
