When you GetCalc() to find a variable in archive, you can store a sort of pointer to a "file", or Y0-9.

How do I save a variable to a var out of my program. Say str1?
And how can  I do the opposite too?

Do you mean take the data at a pointer and put in an external var?

pxl-Test() only tests the pixel on the given buffer (usually L6).  It doesn't test the pixels actually drawn to the screen.

I'm already helped by Buttsfredskin and JustCause.
I just had to use an appvar and stuff. If Epic7 still wants to know he can look in the logs of yesterday. There should be also a link to a pastebin that may explain it.

So what are you unclear on? I'd be happy to help.
See you, space cowboy...

Quote from: command index http://ourl.ca/8409
GetCalc(PTR,SIZE) | Creates an OS variable who's name is pointed to in RAM and makes it Size bytes large. Returns a pointer to the start of data, or zero if there was not enough RAM. Overwrites existing variable, even if it was in archive.
So, I take it it doesn't ERR:MEMORY anymore?  Sometimes an external buffer isn't created, to interesting results 0.o

I'm pretty sure I already asked this somewhere (but can't find it :P) but how can you find out how much RAM is free?
EDIT: Found a note to self XD "Asm(EFE542) amount of free ram"

Does that return in Ans? (I guess, but not sure since it could be >65535)

You can't have more than 24 K of free RAM. You seem to be thinking of free archive, not free RAM. Yes, it returns in Ans. It's just a standard bcall.
