XAS glitch??? (fwd)

ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»

From Vladimir V. Klymus To All 30 June 1998


Hi, All!

So, I recently decided to work in the seventh XAS. And imagine my surprise when it didn’t work. It freezes in this situation:
if you press one of the cursor
keys when selecting a file name to download, the cursor moves to where it should be and that’s it, the program
freezes. I tried all the versions of XAS that were in the house - the same thing. The whole comedy of the situation is that I have been working with different versions of
XAS for more than a year.
But that's not all. Later I found out that the program loops
in the following piece:

ORG #9D4A
LD A,(IY-#32)
OR A
JR Z,#9D4A

This piece works step by step, but not in real time.
But that’s not all! I tried replacing LD A,(IY-#32) with
LD A,(#5C08) and it worked!
What is this? Is it a glitch of XAS or my computer or even the processor?
I repeat, literally yesterday everything worked!

Regards, Vladimir.
