• Power C 64 memory layout?

    From Harry Potter@3:770/3 to All on Thu Dec 5 17:10:14 2019
    Where can I find a memory map of a Power C 64 program? I need to answer the following questions:

    * Is the BASIC ROM disabled?
    * Is the memory at $C000 used?
    * What other memory sections are free?

    I hope I can be of help to You.
    I have the Spinnaker Better Working POWER C software.

    A long time ago I printed the Directory using the DISK LOG PRG.

    The PRG Files on Side A

    SHELL 0801 1678 15 BLOCKS
    COMPILER 2000 7ACD 92 BLOCKS
    CDE.SH 1800 5F59 72 BLOCKS
    TRANSLATOR 2000 558A 54 BLOCKS
    TRIM.SH 1800 5827 65 BLOCKS
    CC.SH 1800 1C28 5 BLOCKS
    ED.SH 1800 3680 31 BLOCKS
    LINK.SH 1800 2787 16 BLOCKS
    SHAPES.SH 1800 31EE 27 BLOCKS

    Also on Side A are a bunch of SEQ Files.

    The PRG Files on Side B

    TERM.C1 V2 C000 C737 8 BLOCKS
    TERMINAL BOOT 0801 0F59 8 BLOCKS
    INSTRUCTIONS 0801 08DE 1 BLOCK

    Also on Side B are a bunch of SEQ Files, some of those filenames
    start with:

    C0XXX.OBJ and C10XX.OBJ so it looks to me like POWER C uses memory
    in the $C000 range.

    I never learned to use C, but years ago I was in the FIDO BASIC Echo
    and the messages there were about Microsoft Q-Basic and QuickBasic.
    The Echo might had been called QuickBasic, I can't remember correctly.

    But I used some of the hints I got there to write PRG's for my C=64.
