[Coco] Re: Path Problem

[Robert Gault]

OK, first thing I did was disassemble Test and found that it called the 
Pascal module Support. The following tests were made on my system.

The Pascal 2.0 disk was in drive /d3, Test was placed in /h2/cmds, and 
the following path was set.
path=/H2/cmds /d3/cmds

test
error 216
load support
error 216
load /d3/cmds/support
test
5 columns of numbers starting with integers, then sums of pairs, etc.

Test ran correctly when Support was preloaded. However, neither Load nor 
the OS-9 system would load the missing module Support when called from 
Test via F$Load.

Clearly the use of path= is problematic as it is not a system mod but a 
hack to shell. For path= to work correctly, it really needs to be a 
patch on F$Load at the very least.
