Zemu, was VAX ADVENTURE, was Re: RL02 problem

[Gooijen, Henk]

OK, thanks Johnny.
I have a day off, but that's for working in the garden.
This evening (when my back is hurting) I will change the hex values to octal.
If somebody could make the SYSTEM.MLB avalilable in a .zip file, would that
be sufficient to solve the second issue ?

  thanks,
- Henk.

Ooo.
Okay... Two problems.
The first one is easy. You're just using an old enough version of
MACRO-11 that it don't understand hex values.
^Xnn just means hexadecimal. Convert to octal and replace, and that
problem is solved.

You know:

#^X0E -> #16

The second problem, the SYSTEM.MLB is harder for me to tell.
Try to just comment the line away, and see what (if any) errors you get.
This is code Megan wrote, so it's a bit more unfamiliar to me.
But all it is, is just macro definitions that (I guess) more recent
versions of RT-11 provide for you.
If we just locate those macro calls, we can either write the macros
directly into the code, or perhaps live without them, instead.
This shouldn't be hard to fix really.
