A86: Re: linking w/ the 82




Well, if you mean your computer, WinLink82 works just fine.  ;-)

But if you mean on calc, there isn't anything.  I think the newest version
of Vertigo lets you send levels back and forth between all of the calcs
(including the 82), but I could be wrong.  There was some code in there to
do that (I was looking at the link routines only), but it might not be
implemented.

Kirk Meyer was planning on writting a program to let you hold 82/83 games on
your 86 to send to others, but that's not going to be started since he quit
(or so he says, anyway).  I think it would be cool.  For the 82, you'd have
to store and figure out how to transmit an entire backup.  With the 83, it'd
be great to be able to transmit someone SOS shell and ZTetris, especially
since it has 96k and the 82/83 combined have 64k.  Wow, come to think of it,
it would take an 82, 83 and 85 to have the storage space of the 86.  And
you'd still have 32k to spare if you counted the scratch space, pages 0 and
1...
