L. Binary Load
The Binary Load operation is used to load a file created with
Binary Save or an assembly language object file into RAM. If the
RUN and
INIT addresses were appended to the file, the file will
execute upon loading .
If the I N option is specified, the INIT and RUN addresses will be
disregarded, and the file must be run using the DOS Menu's Run
At Address operation . Also, files without an INIT or RUN address
must be
run using the Run At Address operation.
An example of a Binary Load operation is given in Illustration 7-
