AmigaDos Help Needed
 

Hello friends
I am trying to create a small loader project file for a game I created.
I need it to check how much Chip Ram is available as the game requires a 2mb Chip Ram Amiga. I used to be pretty proficient with AmigaDos some 20 - 25 years ago but alas I am just relearning it all again now in my retirement.
This is what I have:
Assign -----etc
Avail chip
If count GT 1048576
Echo "2mb Amiga Model"
Wait 2
(game load file)
Else
Echo "Sorry, the game requires a 2mb Chip Ram Amiga to Play"
Wait 3
Quit
End If
It works fine on my 1200 being it has 2mb chip ram, but when I go in and change the 1mb to over 2mb in line 3 to test it still loads the game, it should go to the Else and indicate it needs 2mb chip ram and quit, but it does not.
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for any help

You didn't specify how the numerical value was passed to "count"

Assign blah...
IF VAL `C:AVAIL CHIP` NOT GT 1048576
"Sorry, the game requires a 2mb Chip Ram Amiga to Play"
Wait 3
Quit
EndIF
Echo "2mb Amiga Model"
Wait 2
(game load file)

Alt and that top left key on the Amiga (below escape) for those reverse apostrophes.

Ahhh, of course Paul, Val instead of count, as Nor Bert indicated I didn't specify how Avail goes to count, don't need to that with the Val command. Thanks kindly friend.

No trouble at all. VAL is part of IF, it just tells IF to expect a numerical value for the comparison (GT in your case).
