EFTP_XL 1.2
EFTP_XL 1.2, now on the AERA 8-bit shared code (xl/ from AERA-Atari).
- RESET brings EFTP_XL back to its main screen, disconnected, with the FujiNet connections (N1:, N2:) closed. It no longer drops to DOS.
- HELP ends with the About lines: version, what it is, copyright, licence and the GitHub page.
- Disk errors show their text, e.g. "NOTES.TXT: Disk full" instead of "error 162".
- AERA.FNT, the font the AERA 8-bit programs share, is in the release. When it is on the drive you start EFTP_XL from, EFTP_XL reads it; without it, EFTP_XL uses its own copy of the same font.
- The load check is the shared one: if DOS sits above $4000, or there isn't room, it says so and goes back to DOS before loading.
Files:
EFTPXL.PRG, the program;EFTPXL.ATR, a bootable SpartaDOS 3.2 disk with the program, AERA.FNT and the Mac/65 sources with line numbers, tokenized;AERA.FNT, the font.
On the Atari: LOAD #D:EFTPXL.M65, then ASM ,,#D:EFTPXL.PRG (over the program on the disk).
Checked:
- the 41 checks of tools/test_sim.py, including RESET, About, AERA.FNT and the load check;
- in atari800, the disk boots, the program starts, and RESET comes back to it;
- MAC/65 1.01 builds the same bytes from the disk.
Not yet run on real hardware.
