Hello everyone,
I don't understand why the character CHR$(92) does not correspond to what is described in page 229 of the ORIC ATMOS Manual by Ian Adamson.
See pictures below:
It is confirmed when we look at $B6EO = $B400 + 92*8
I'm disgusted because:
- I thought the backslash wasn't existing on Oric so I was forced to redefine it in my programs
- I was wanting a character like '|' (CHR$(124)) but below 112 because the 124 is not available when the standard char set is copied in alternate charset location.. and 92 was looking good ..
In the end, I will no longer have to redefine the backslash .. but I will need to redefine the '|'
The technical questions are :
Is it a mistake in the ORIC manual ? or is this a matter of ROM version ?
Is this character set the same on all Oric ?
Where is the expected CHR$(92) ?
Re: Where is the expected CHR$(92) ?
IMHO it's typo in the manual, because:
- it's present and the same in all 'stock' ROM's;
- it's used as terminate character to show input keyboard buffer overflow (i.e. press and hold any key):

Thank you Iss ..
I realize the backslash '\' character is present on the keyboard as well as the pipe '|' ...
My two favourites characters on the same key
