I go to a TAFE in Australia and we use an old LC-10 of 1982 vintage.
I wrote a program and it worked correctly then I wrote another and I inadvertently added an % at the end of the code - it seemed to give the controller all sorts of difficulty - END of Program error 2 was displayed.
We start our programs with $A.MIN% but have no end of file marker.
Would the extra % drive the controller crazy ?
Our machine used to have a tape unit but now uses a computer to transfer
code to the controller.
What is strange our post processor for the LC-10 outputs $A.MIN% at the beginning and an % at the end.
Are there universal characters for transmission or do manufactures have their own way of doing things ?
The control unit seems to be a bit obscure it that dropped half my program
once when I typed a z instead of Z.
