3.2.1
PROGRAM EXECUTION
CP/M, and HUNTER Basic programs n,ay be run from the File
Manager.
In both cases the program is loaded into the 1-10r~ing
RAN page and executed either under the Basic interpreter or
directly. CPh1 and Basic pror,ram files are stored together in
RAM file space, and are treated as if they were stored on disk.
BASIC PROGRAMS
HUtJTER Basic programs can be run without explicitly invoking the
interpreter. Entering a
fi lename which has the .HBA extension
will cause the Basic program to be loaded and the interpreter to
be executed. For example, if the directory reads as follows:
>DIR
PROG1
NAMES
.HBA WORDS
.TXT
Then typing:
>PROG1 .HBA
.CGI
PROG2 .IJBA
executes the HUNTER Basic program PROG1.HBA. The file extension
.HBA must be specified. To enter the Basic interpreter use the
File Manager command 'BAS', function key 3. See Part 4, BASIC
PROGRAMMING, for further information on HUNTER Basic.
3.2.2
CP/M PROGRAMS
VER.V09F
Object code files with .COM extensions may be executed in the
standard CP/M manner. The filename entered, for example using
the directory above:
>WORDS[ .COM]
will cause the program to load and run. The .COM file extension
is optional.
