HLO projects - Mod to MEDIT for APX Pascal to make it work

[RSS Bot]

I have been testing the waters of Atari APX Pascal recent and have been having an issue with MEDIT blowing up when run from the Pascal menu. I twittered the great Bill Lange who gave me the fix.

(1) As you probably know, you have to copy the MEDIT executable over to your work disk image in disk drive D2. In addition, MEDIT needs a minor modification for it to work with the Atari Pascal Language System.
(2) With DOS loaded, put the work disk into D1. Use the DOS menu option N to create a MEM.SAV file on the work disk.
(3) Using the DOS menu option L, BINARY LOAD MEDIT using the /N (MEDIT/N) option to prevent it from running. This will write to the MEM.SAV file on the work disk.
(4) Using the DOS menu option K, BINARY SAVE it back as follows: MEDIT/A, 2600, 2601. This append operation tells the Pascal program point to begin execution at the MEDIT entry point.
(5) Put the work disk back in D2. Put APLS Disk #1 in D1. You should now be able to launch MEDIT from the Atari Pascal Monitor.

Thanks, Bill
