Question about DOS, 5CF4
ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»
Hello, All
2All, can you tell me if this variable is read-only? If you write in it
anything, won't this disrupt the operation of DOS? As I understand it, you need to know
(under) which track the heads hang, so a change could throw the system off
there's no point... Or she already determines the position of the head every time
regardless of this variable?
Hello TomCaT
Tom> so the change may completely confuse the system... Or it
Tom> and so each time determines the position of the head regardless of this
Tom> variable?
after the first attempt to read the “wrong sector” (due to the vile deception of the encoder
or a metal worker kicking the head with a hammer) trdos runs to track 00 and
repositioned :)
Hello Ronin
Okay then. Then in my new packer I’ll try to use something like
variable for exchanging information "packer - calling program" about
location of the next packaged file on disk
Hello Ronin
Although it's probably not worth it. I'll make do with the SEED variable.

Damn it, why weren’t there more free bytes in those immense megabytes? :)
it will still be a glitch - jerking your head here and there, system variables are better
Don’t just use it obviously.
