Hello, Not sure I can help here, never having tackled any such issue. But still... You just cannot CLOADM anything else than a m/c executable file from a ".CAS" virtual file, which I doubt your assembler will provide. So what kind of output file did you get from compiling your source code? Was it a ...

... perhaps Salamander compiled the BASIC program before releasing the game? The same could also be true of Fishy Business (also included in the zip). Just load any "CLOADM" game from Salamander, then try to play it for a couple of minutes, and you'll be convinced it cannot be the case by any means...

Thank you very much for this, Steve. But how did you do it?! By the way, I'm now doubting it can actually be useful to anyone (... unless one should be willing to check the code?!). That is, until someone comes with a Dragon/PC text interfacing tool: would there happen to be any such tool available ...

I just tried to "isolate" my routine on a separate "blank" virtual disk. After saving from within Dskdream, the ".DRM" file was indeed listed with a DIR command. Then I switched to another ".vdk", and then back to the former one... which was now blank again!? :? So I think it will be much easier if ...

Thanks very much for the hint, Rolf, but what I had in mind was much more "straighforward", such as retrieving this data from within an emulated Dragon!

I must admit I would just like to save myself from having to re-type all this code into the Notepad!

I might still have the corresponding source code on one of my ".vdk" files, somewhere... I think I do... Well, after checking the instruction manual to "Dskdream", then checking the content of my source disk, I definitely do! But it sure would help if someone here could explain to me how I may tran...

Such a small piece of code was published in Dragon User once. It was position-independant code that was meant to be appended to the bottom part of (i.e. before) a Basic program, then the whole memory would be saved as m/c, using a lower reloading position, so the appended bit would override some RAM...

... I just checked the game within "T3" and got the very same "?OM ERROR". Even after clearing as much memory as I could using standard commands. And yet I'm almost certain it was designed for the D32 computer (as all Salamander games), which is quite puzzling. Never having had an original of this g...

Thanks for your answers. So did the previous owner of your Dragon Data disk drive have any association with Salamander? Well, you're welcome... and ain't it the point in being here? That is, trying to help other Dragon enthusiasts, or at least keep in touch with them... I couldn't tell for sure, bu...

Unfortunately, I'm unable to address most of your questions... sorry. As a matter of fact, these are games I got "for free" from the previous owner of my Dragon Data disk drive, purchased second hand circa 1985-86. I only reorganised my collection, which led to a number of ".vdk" files I (much) late...
