I've downloaded 'Chuckie Egg' for an MSX.
On the disk 'Diskmanager' created is a file named 'Chuckie.bin' loacated
is i look on the source in Chuckie.bas there is a single line
10 Bload "Chuckie.bin",R
When running this code, i'll get the 'Direct Statement in file' error.
Can someone help me?

Strange, should work fine...
Try to bload the bin file directly from your basic prompt, so not booting the BAS file.....
It shouldn't be of any difference, but hey, give it a try...

How wonderful it is we now know diskmanager doesn't set the archive bit in files, which leads to Direct Statements in Files....This is my life progression in 2 years  |

o.O
a direct statment in file is usually a BASIC program withouth a basic line in it (like: 10 print "hello world" but without the 10).
Never seen this behaviour with binary file though

IC, read what Latok said 
The cause is a major bug in Diskmanager. |

I read the thing, but I thought I had to post that remark cauz I never used Diskmanager, and I haven't seen such behaviour before...

I suppose it's the Xst bit in the fileheader, I like to know X.

Is it a msx-1 game? Maybe it has to do with the control of the memory in MSX-2. I guess there is a solution for this, like poke-1,170:clear200
or poke&hffff,&haa:clear100
and then run the file once again, maybe it works.

By the way, this poke is also fun, if you boot your msx2 normal and want to go to msxdos in basic.
In the normal case you get a error if you type: call system, but after this poke not:
poke&hf346,1
_system
Have fun

Now THIS gives an old school feeling. Poking and Peeking!! I don't think it has anything to do with the subject we're talking about now, but I like it! |

I have used diskmanager and have seen such error many times on msx2, thought on different games
