# *D & *E Compilation Bug

[TIMACHINE](http://localhost/product/timachine/) compiler users may be interested in this correction. It shows up when compiling large programs and *D & *E are used.

After the program has loaded (while the backup prompt is still on the screen), break into the program by deleting the left quote and entering STOP (SYMBOL SHIFT A). Add the following lines to BASIC:

```
20 FOR i=1 TO 4
21 READ address,n
22 FOR j=0 to n-1
23 READ byte: POKE address+j, byte
24 NEXT j: NEXT i
100 DATA 26843,4
101 DATA 205,0,130,0
102 DATA 32070,4
103 DATA 205,0,130,0
104 DATA 32858,4
105 DATA 205,71,104,0
106 DATA 33280,12
107 DATA 17,0,0,205,71,104,192,237,91,241,68,201
```

Now, GOTO 8000 and ENTER to make a new backup copy.
