Chapter 5, Memory Cards/Mass Storage
DOS and LIF File System Considerations
Storing Code Files
Two IBASIC commands are available for storing program code to a mass storage
location: SAVE and STORE. The type of file created by the Test Set’s file system
when the program code is stored, is dependent upon the format of the media being
used. The type of file created verses the media format is outlined in
table 28. The
IBASIC 2.0 file system can distinguish between DOS files that have been “saved”
and those that were “stored.”
Files that have been stored using the SAVE command must be retrieved using the
GET command:
SAVE "FM_TEST:,704,1"
GET "FM_TEST:,704,1"
Files that have been stored using the STORE command must be retrieved using
the LOAD command:
STORE "FM_TEST:,704,1"
LOAD "FM_TESTS:,704,1"
