Re: ECLIPSE Problem on ][c's

  I spent some time lassssst summer finding out  why ECLISPE does not work
on the ][c's.  As I  recall ( it has been a while) after the splash screen is 
displayed ECLISPE goes into a timing loop to pause the sccreen.  The mistake
is that they use the VBLT register as part of the loop (waiting  for it to
count down or ssomething) on the ][c this never happens as the mouse 
use that register for its purposes as well.  So the splash screen goes into
a infinate loop.   I bypassed this and while it did run and compile the 
proviided sample code it was unstable and crashed a lot.  I assume that VBLT
register was used for timmmming purposes as well in other places in the
complied code and this set up other infinate loops.

As I recall  :)
