Does nyone have details on the relative file "bug" in the CBM drives?
Even the 1541-II manual refers to it and notes you should position twice
to avoid, but I'd like to get more detail.
I wrote a data base using rel file over 20 yrs ago that I still use. Never
have errors. I do recall having problems at first, but don't recall now if
the reason I open, P, write, close, each time is the cure. Also, I P to to
the first byte of the record. So, my P line looks like this:
PRINT#15,8,15,"P"CHR$(C+96)CHR$(L)CHR$(H)CHR$(1)
where C is channel number, L & H are low high byte of record number, and 1
is first byte if record.
Hope this helps, Rolf
