Preventable?

When loading and/or executing programs, they hang or lockup easily if run incorrectly, bad program, bad input data, etc. The system requires a reboot. I assume this is normal Yes, I know well the "stuff" should be entered, executed, good data files,etc. I'm worried my reset button will wear out!

Thankfully one doesn't run into problems like that on our well-behaved, quality, modern Windows computers! :rodna:

Moving back to the C= world from the PC world:) has one scratching their head. Yup, when a PC throws up, grab your hat and run! What I've had to do, probably/most likely, (but far too many times)is because of my "entry level" knowledge. My goal is to get my PC C= file xfer going. I'm getting closer but...I can Load, List and Run from diskettes some programs but(again) some programs I execute hang. Now I should say I can Run Little Red Reader and load a zipped file from the PC and display it. I assume I can take one of the Unzip pgms I have to unzip but (well once again) I don't have operator instructions on how to use LRR ,Unzip and the like. Any ideas where I can instructions for such programs.?

Just use a PC program like WinZip, PKUNZIP, 7-Zip or whatever you like to unzip it, then put the unzipped file(s) onto your disk and take it over to your 128. Although there are unzip programs for the 128, might as well let the PC do something useful.

I don't have operator instructions on how to use LRR...

LRR's creator, Craig Bruce, has them at his website.  Go to http://www.csbruce.com/~csbruce/cbm/lrr/lrr270.txt

Nikoniko: Thanks for the tip! I do the unzip on the PC side.

RobertB: Thank you. I've printed the manual...great!
