[Coco] Sailorman and DW ??

[Luis Fernández]

Sailor Man is the first program in 64k mode, 
it uses every 64k, and a coco2 not leave much room for DW
The basic program can not be used in a program for a basic defect

> There is a basic program that runs the game called SAILOR.BAS
> 
> If you are using a system with a DW rom in a cart, running that program gives you a SN error.

> However if I type the important lines manual, they work fine! This is what gets the game going.

> LOADM"SAILOR1
> EXEC
> CLEAR 20,16000
> LOADM"SAILOR2
> EXEC

> Again, if you type that in the game starts fine.
> 
> If you make it a program by putting line numbers in front of each command and RUN it, it will get a SN error.
> If you loaded DW from disk the DRIVE 0 will start working, and obviously the game wont start.
> It goes without saying making the disk image on a real floppy and using it that way works just fine.
> 
> So, why can you type these commands and the game will start, but you can't make a program to do the same?
