A86: Re: Re: vat search routine
I just have to say this... The routine on vat searching 'vatsrch.inc' would
not work 100% all the time. Jimi, you are using the cpdr instruction. This
searches the area for a $12 (from accumulator). Note also, that the absolute
address to the program is stored in the vat. What if $12 was in that
address? You'd be screwed, and everything would screw up. You should start
on the first entry, count down from there the length of the name, and
continue.
