-
- Here is a program that will let you
-
- create 'self-running' programs.
-
- Now there is no need to type RUN or
-
- the familiar '<shift>RUN-STOP'.
-
- When your programs LOAD, they auto-
-
- matically begin execution.
-
- To use this program, simply RUN
-
- the program. When the computer is
-
- finished and you have the 'READY.'
-
- prompt, simply do the following:
-
-
- 1. LOAD your own program
-
- 2. After LOADing your program,
- type:
-
- POKE43,18:POKE44,3
-
- Do this in the immediate mode
- after your program has LOADed.
-
- 3. Now SAVE your program. You
- may VERIFY if you wish.
-
- 4. Press RUN/STOP RESTORE and then
- type:
-
- POKE43,1:POKE44,8
-
-
- You are now ready to try your new
-
- 'self-running' program.
-
-
- ***** NOTE ******
-
- When LOADing your new program, be
-
- sure to include a secondary address of
-
- 1 so that the program will locate
-
- itself at the address from which it
-
- came. For example,
-
-
- LOAD"SELF-STARTER",8,1
- ^
- <be sure to include this>
-
-
-
-
- ***** ANOTHER NOTE *****
-
- Because of the nature of this
-
- program, it does NOT return to
-
- LOADSTAR. Please be sure you want to
-
- RUN it before you do so.

-
