Arghhh What is wrong with this asm code? (must be something stupid...)

[iamaboringperson]

That only was true for Kickstart 1.x (pre-V36). Kickstart V36+ dos.library requires library base in a6, like any other library.

I think that was the suggestion from V36 upwards.

I'm pretty sure the old software that uses a5 for dos will still work
