Subject: RDCBM10.COM problem
Regarding Commodore 128 program RDCBM10.COM (Read CBM format disks):
Yes, indeed it seems that RDCBM10.COM (on SIMTEL20 in PD:<CPM.C128>) does
drop approximately 137 bytes from the beginning of the file it is copying if
the BINARY copy is specified. The reason I didn't see this right away is I
only tried the TEXT copy (translated from Commodore to ASCII), and that works
perfectly! Looks like it's time to contact the author - MIX C strikes again
in all probability! Incidentally, this bug is not related to the output drive
specification - it even fails this way when using M: as the output.
Sincerely,
Frank Prindle
