Thank you, that is the complete application. Entertainingly on the
RiscPC, Select OS4.37, it fails to start first time around with the
familiar error :-
abort on data transfer at &039F2EB0 (Error code -2147483646 at line
7300)
*where
Address 039F2EB0 is at offset 00003288 in module BASIC
On the RiscPC this error can be cleared, unlike the
stiffed Iyonix, and second time around !Jiten runs. Odd, I thought.

Yes and no. I have not resolved the start up error, but I did make a
really interesting discovery. Jiten works on the A9home with Adjust
OS4.42. Both the extracted BASIC and the original wrapped absolute (with
AIF header checking off) work. The absolute is 32bit clean as reported
by Armalyser.

That would be good, I think we may have a foible of the BASIC compressor
rather than an original programming problem.
