Yes, but you can save it on a tape for the next time you need it

I've found a way in Winape where I can load as much of a program as possible with Load. When the programs is loading it appears to be buffered into Memory between &9000 and &A000 depending on how much is loaded in I think (using Debug). That code can be moved, using the Assembler moving that code with LDIR:

Code Select Expand


org &be80


ld hl, <where the program begins>
ld de,&170 ;; Start of BASIC
ld bc,<length of program : End Address - Start Address>
ldir


ret



in my situation I was having problems loading Block 2, but was loading Block 1 OK, but if a Read Error should occur at the start of the program, then this approach won't help much.


But I'm guessing the Retriever Type-in Program from AA53 has a way of reading Blocks which aren't corrupt, using my approach I'm trying to read in as much of a program hoping the Read Error comes late when loading it and then moving that information where BASIC programs go.


Once in BASIC I can use the Assembler with Winape to copy the BASIC program to there and delete the corrupt lines.
