supposed to convert an Atari program to IBM. The program unarced ok and a
program called mule.com appeared. I tried loading mule.com from DOS
2.5 Binary Load but the computer locked up. If you have time could you
please tell me how to run it.
My program is a Basic and I'm under the impression that mule.com is the
only program that I need but I have Action Cartridge and C Compiler if
these are needed.
Thanks.
**** Answered by Michael Current, aa700:
Mule is a package that will allow you to copy files between Atari and
MS-DOS systems. It requires a disk and drive capable of enhanced density
on the Atari end. Mule.com runs on the Atari, while mule.exe runs under
MS-DOS. The mule.arc contains mule.com, plus the source code to both
mule.com (in Action!) and mule.exe (in Turbo C). Mule.exe is a separate
file on the Archive, plus there is also a third file called mule.txt that
describes the package.
Hopefully that'll help you, because I have no experience using Mule, does
anyone else?
