- ML MERGE
-
-
- Written by: Jeff Johnson
-
-
- This program will take two BASIC
-
- programs, interlace them, and save
-
- the resulting program back to disk.
-
- ML MERGE is wonderful for adding
-
- routines to programs. It will handle
-
- BASIC lines up to 256 characters
-
- long.
-
- To use ML MERGE, LOAD"ML MERGE",8
-
- and then type RUN. The screen will
-
- clear and ask you for a primary file.
-
- This is usually the most important
-
- program. Secondly, you will be
-
- asked for the secondary file. This
-
- is usually the program of lesser
-
- importance. Lastly, you will be asked
-
- for the output file name. This is
-
- the name of the program that you want
-
- to contain the result of the merger.
-
- When the merge is complete, you are
-
- returned to BASIC and if there were
-
- any errors in the merge, you will be
-
- notified.
-
- It should be noted that if the same
-
- line number exists in both files,
-
- only the line from the primary file
-
- will be put into the merged program.
-
- Before you RUN ML MERGE, please be
-
- sure that you know what files you
-
- want to merge and in what order.
-
- There is no DIRECTORY function in the
-
- program. Also be sure there is plenty
-
- of room on your disk for the new
-
- program.
-
- *** NOTE ***
- Because of the nature of this
- program, it does NOT return to the
- LOADSTAR environment. Please be sure
- you want to RUN it before you do so.
