- If you have purchased a Modem/300,
-
- then you may know that there is a
-
- program listing in the manual that
-
- allows you to translate downloaded
-
- SEQuential into PRoGram files. Here
-
- is that program, on disk, with a few
-
- enhancements.
-
- The program is designed to
-
- translate programs that are
-
- downloaded as SEQuential files into
-
- usable program files. The program
-
- uses the dynamic keyboard method to
-
- get data from the SEQuential file and
-
- store it in memory as a program line.
-
- To use the program, you need a
-
- program that is in the form of a
-
- SEQuential file. When RUN, the
-
- program will ask for a filename. You
-
- should input the name of the
-
- SEQuential file you want to make into
-
- a program file. The program will
-
- then translate the program lines in
-
- the SEQuential file into real
-
- program lines stored in memory.
-
- When the program is finished
-
- translating, the message "FINISHED"
-
- will be printed on the screen. At
-
- this point, all of the lines from the
-
- SEQuential file will be in memory in
-
- the form of a program. Be careful to
-
- avoid programs having line numbers in
-
- the 60000's as those are the line
-
- numbers used by the File Translator
-
- program. You should now delete the
-
- eleven lines that make up the File
-
- Translator program. They are the
-
- lines from 60100 to 61000. When this
-
- is done, you can SAVE your new
-
- program to disk.
-
-
- **** NOTE ****
- Because of the nature of this
- program, it can not be RUN from the
- LOADSTAR environment. It is SAVEd on
- Side one of this Issue under the name
- of FILE TRANSLATOR.
