!4. If your program redefines a
library procedure (e.g., one
which declares its own version of
PROC Graphics), it will compile
with no errors using the
cartridge only (because declared
procedures take precedence over
built-in ones). However, since
the RunTime library uses this
same precedence trick to include
its own definitions of library
procedures, your program will
generate Error 6 (doubly defined
name) if you do not delete the
appropriate PROCedure (or
FUNCtion) from the RunTime
library before INCLUDEing it.

!!PROBLEMS WITH PAD
Fix: Make a custom version of
the RunTime library on a COPY
(please, only on a copy) of your
RunTime disk which does not
contain the routines you wish to
replace.

We will list the problems (and solutions) regarding the Programmer's Aid Disk here in reasonably compact form.

!!TOOLKIT TROUBLES
It's hard to believe that a product as new as the ACTION! ToolKit can already have bug reports. Sigh. Anyway, there are already three versions of the ToolKit. Version 1 has 31 free sectors (when you list its directory). Version 2 has fewer free sectors and the second line of the file MUSIC.DEM reads ";Version 2". On version 3, the file ABS.ACT starts with the version number. This last convention will be followed in future versions. The comments here
are organized by affected version(s).
