I've traced DEVPAC.PRG. It does not do anything particular to start the
GEN.TTP. It first calls Pexec(7), then Pexec(4) IIRC. I think the freeze
is the AES or VDI fault - i..e one of these "os specials". I've even tried
to move the VBR - and well, Devpac worked, but many of other things
didn't. :-)
So, I think, the AES (or VDI) goes vegetables after a call made by
DEVPAC.PRG and overwrites the exception vectors - thus freezes.
Has anyone observed such behaviour under the Atari AES 4.10?
