Hi all,

I'm trying to get back into programming, and thought that I would update 
one of my simplest applications, which simply retrieves the rom and ram 
sprites as it does not work on Titanium.

The program is in Basic

I had thought that it was because I was using SYS"Wimp_BaseOfSprites", 
which I know has been deprecated - however at some point I have actually 
recoded and it no longer uses this call.

The code that was working on my Iyonix was fairly basic.

SYS"Wimp_SpriteOp",12,,f$ for rom sprites and
SYS"OS_SpriteOp",&112,R1%,f$

Where in both cases f$ is the output path. What has changed that the above 
code no longer works on modern systems, going through PRM -2005 I'm 
obviously missing something.

Is there a later version of the PRM than the 2005 copy that I have?

Any pointers to what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.

John
