I have noticed a problem with a source code, which I sorted out in the end. The program works fine on its own but the source code needed adjusting for my Devpac 3 assembler. The problem is where does the code $1B come from, as it does work in centering my text on the example *TEST1997.S* but I cannot find any trace of it in any gemdos calls. I found *TEST1996.S* on FaST Club disk IN120. My question is are there any old books, that have the original gemdos call that is not in the later editions ? From a still learning programmer. JNO.
