Bugs - STS 5.1 new glitches.

                  TRIP



  Where we just did not put parsing bugs
STS'a and "NEWS" and "sharing experiences",
and now decided to just create for this
separate heading - "glitches" ...


  Here we shall discuss not only the
STS'e, and on the software as a whole.


  It is a pity that later came the idea
to announce the most interesting
glitch in the new STS'e, but nothing - to recoup
on the other new prog ... :)

               TRIP STS5.1


  Detected: one drawback and one glitch.


  Disadvantage:


  In the performance of the team (SS + X) does not control 
whether the memory bank is replaced by another in the 
performance of some routines. As a result, after its execution, 
STS installs the previous memory bank. 


  For example:


      ; To perform routines MEMORY

      ; A 24 bank

        ....

        LD A, 17; (SS ​​+ X or SS + Z)

        CALL MEMORY; (SS ​​+ X)

      And now must be a bank 25, and

      But in reality a 24 bank!

        ....
MEMORY LD BC, 32765

        OUT (C), A

        RET


  And glyuchok:


  If a disc has 2 files with almost
the same name (for example, "LEV1" and
"LEVE1"), then load the file "LEV1" instead of "LEVE1", or vice 
versa - do not remember exactly.
