MAGEPROM Missing XTRAS File?

[t0nyt]

I'm trying to see what MAGEPROM (https://dilwyn.theqlforum.com/qlrom/index.html) does

But the boot file tries to load a file called "XTRAS" which isn't in the zip file

Does anyone know what this file is, and if it's available please?

Many thanks
Tony

"XTRAS" is the the standard "Turbo-toolkit" from DP.

Thanks Ralf, but I can't find any file called XTRAS in the Turbo Toolkit download (or any other zip on that page)

Any ideas what I'm missing please? Have never used Turbo Toolkit

Many thanks
Tony

XTRAS is the Turbo Toolkit as a runtime version. You can use the standard Turbo toolkit.

It may also have been the Supercharge compiler extensions which I think were actually called extras or xtras.

Yes, but "magep.exe" is turbo compiled.

Thanks Dilwyn

I loaded the turbo_tk_code from ralf’s link and that did the trick for me with mageprom

There's some overlap of keyword names in both, so sometimes they are interchangeable if you are lucky, sometimes not, depending on what extensions the program used.

In this case, looking at the code of magep_exe in an editor it was Turbo compiled, so yes, use Turbo Toolkit.

If you're not sure how to check if a program is Turbo or Supercharge compiled, you can usually tell from the boot program which of the two sets of compiler extensions is needed - the boot program will allocate 6KB or more for Turbo Toolkit, or only about 1KB for Supercharge extensions.

That's what I have done .
