So I've written a half decent game. I'd guess that it takes up about
5k of memory, and now I want to use Mcoder II to compile it.
I have followed all the instructions. loaded Mcoder II, then load my
program, then I do the 'LET L=USR 32462' to 'push mcoder into
posittion'. I then get:
C/7294
I have no line number 7294, so I find this a little odd.
Yeah, that'll be a crash.
I was wracking my brains here trying to remember how this worked - it must be nearly 25 years since I used it - and then it struck me (Ouch! -Ed.): I take it you're using an emulator? It's distinctly possible that its circumvention of the ROM tape routines (to load .P or .81 files) clears MCoder from memory whenever you LOAD anything. In which case you're stuffed. Unless your emulator will load directly from tape (or you have a real '81 handy) you'll have to re-type your entire program with MCoder in memory.
If I were you, I'd enter a shorter program with MCoder in memory and try to compile that, just to check that the compiler actually works first, because I could well be totally wrong and it's simply your copy of MCoder that's buggered.
