- LOADSTAR 128 LIBRARY APPENDER
-
- Program and Text by Fender Tucker
-
-
- We used to have a LOADSTAR 128 Briefs similar to the Briefs on LOADSTAR
- 64 but I dropped it a year or so ago because it took up quite a bit of disk
- space. The only useful program in it was the APPENDER for the LOADSTAR
- LIBRARY. Last issue I updated the LIBRARY file and made it work beyond
- issue #32, which I thought might be the last issue. Now that we know
- better, I can imagine that some of you will want to keep the LIBRARY
- updated. This Q&D program will do it for you.
-
- You will need the LIBRARY from LOADSTAR 128 #32. The program will
- prompt you each time you need to insert a disk but here's the sequence
- anyway:
-
- (1) Run "append 33" from the menu for LS 128 #33.
-
- (2) Insert the disk with the file "128 ls" on it and press RETURN. This
- file was on Side One of LS 128 #32, but you may have copied it off to
- another disk. The file will be loaded into memory.
-
- (3) Insert LS 128 #33 Side One which has the file "lib 33" on it and press
- RETURN. This file will be loaded into memory right after the first file.
-
- (4) Insert the disk with LOADSTAR 128 LIBRARY on it and press RETURN. This
- may or not be LS 128 #32 Side One, depending on whether you have copied the
- LIBRARY onto another disk or not. A new "128 ls" file will be written to
- the disk.
-
- That's it. Now when you run LIBRARY it will be updated with the files
- from LS 128 #33. I wish I could have simply instructed you to append "lib
- 33" to "128 ls" but there are a couple of extra bytes on "128 ls" and
- simple appending wouldn't work.
-
- Next issue I'll probably have a very similar program for updating the
- LIBRARY for LS 128 #34.
