Here's one I can't seem to remember from nearly 30 years ago. I'm using VICMON for building the ML portions of my BBS program, and it's working fine - except when i try to save! I am typing in:
S "MLTERM",08,6400,64C1
to save my block of memory starting at $6400 and going to $64C0 (and adding 1 extra byte) to my disk drive (device 8 ) but when I do that, VICMON puts a question mark on the 0 in 08 and just gives me another prompt.
I double checked the user manual, and I'm using the right syntax (ie: you don't put $ before the address values, and you put a 0 in front of your single digit device number, double quotes around the file name, S instead of SAVE, etc).
Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong? VICMON is supposed to be able to save from memory locations below $7FFF, so $6400 should be fine?
Thanks!
