Re: A89: ti convert


Ok..  Now I've got it to work..  this was the procedure:

1. Remove that extra ! after the actual filename
2. Change the byte at $3B from $0E to $0D
3. Decrease the byte at $35 with one..  (if it was $B2 it should be $B1 and so
on..)

the file will work even without that last step, but you will have that repeating
problem..
the file transferred is some bytes to large to.. but they work. :)  I guess it
is just some
random data after the actual file.. it _should_ not be a problem :)
