IMPORTANT NOTE:
Your Test/Demo diskette
may contain additional
programs. Commodore
may update the diskette
from time to time.
426 BLOCKS FREE.
Starting with the top line, here is what it tells us:
The 0 at the left end tells us that the 1541's single drive is drive 0. If we had gotten
this directory from a dual disk drive, it might have said "1" instead.
The next thing on the top line of the directory after the format type is the name of the
diskette, enclosed in quotation marks, and printed in reverse field. Just as each program
has a name, so does the diskette itself, assigned when the diskette was formatted. The
diskette name may be up to 16 characters long, and serves mainly to help you organize
your diskette library. By keeping related files together on the same diskette, you'll ease
the task of finding the program you want later, when you have dozens or hundreds of
diskettes. The two character code to the right of the name is the diskette ID, also created
when the diskette was formatted, and equally useful for individualizing diskettes.
The 2A at the right end of the top line tells us that the 1541 uses version 2 of
Commodore's DOS (disk operating system), and that it, like most Commodore drives,
uses format "A."
