LOADER BY PETER WEIGHILL... NORMALLY, IF YOU WANT TO RETURN TO A MENU PROGRAM ON A DISK, THEN YOU WOULD NORMALLY HAVE TO EITHER EXIT THE PROGRAM AND LOAD THE MENU YOURSELF OR WRITE A LITTLE ROUTIN E AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM TO LOAD THE MENU.. LOADER ELIMINATES THE NEED TO D O THIS. AND WILL ALSO ALLOW YOU TO RETU RN TO THE MENU AT ANY TIME...HOW TO USE LOADER.. FIRSTLY, MAKE SURE THAT THE RE IS A PROGRAM CALLED MENU ON THE DISK , THEN COPY LOADER ONTO THAT DISK. TH E USE A DIRECTORY EDITOR TO MOVE THE LOA DER FILE TO THE FIRST FILE ON THE DISK. (IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DIRECTORY EDITO R THEN START WITH A NEW DISK AND COPY LOADER ONTO IT FIRST.). THEN TO USE L OADER, JUST DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TO LOAD IT:.1. LOAD"LOADER",8,1. LOADER WILL LOAD AND AUTOMATICALLY RUN AN D THEN LOAD MENU..2. LOAD"LOADER",8. T HEN RUN. LOADER WILL LOAD, THEN AFTER YOU RUN IT, IT WILL LOAD THE MENU..T HE LOAD A FILE FROM THE MENU TO RUN. O NCE THE PROGRAM THAT YOU CHOSE HAS L OADED AND IS RUNNING, JUST PRESS THE R ESTORE KEY A FEW TIMES UNTIL THE MENU I S RE-LOADED...LOADER COMPATABILITY.. LO ADER WORKS WITH ALL PROGRAMS THAT DO NOT USE THE TAPE BUFFER AREA OF MEMORY ($03 34-$03FF) AND DO NOT CHANGE THE NMI INTE RUPT ($0318-0319).. LOADER WILL WORK WITH ALL PROGRAMS WHICH ARE 100% BASIC. ..ADDITIONAL NOTES.. IT IS NOT REC COMENDED TO PRESS RESTORE WHILE THE DI SK DRIVE OR PRINTER IS IN USE AS THIS MA Y CAUSE RESTORE NOT TO LOAD THE MENU C ORRECTLY, SO AVOID DOING THIS IF POSSIB LE.. DO NOT LOAD ANYTHING FROM TAPE WH ILE LOADER IS ACTIVATED SINCE IT IS STO PED IN THE TAPE BUFFER...CUSTOMISING LOA DER.. IF YOU HAVE A DISK EDITOR THEN YOU CAN CHANGE THE FILE WHICH LOADER WILL LOAD AND RUN, INSTEAD OF THE MENU , BY TYPING IN A NEW FILE TO LOAD...HOW LOADER WORKS.. LOADER CONFIGURES THE NMI INTERUPT, SO THAT INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL WARM START THAT YOU GET IF YOU PRESS RUN STOP & RESTORE, YOU WILL LO AD THE MENU INSTEAD IF YOU PRESS RESTO RE.. LOADER RESETS THE COMPUTER LIKE THE NORMAL WARM START, BUT THEN LOADS THE MENU INSTEAD OF DISPLAYING READY..
