PROGRAM BOOT
Written by: Katherine Myers
Program Boot for the Commodore 64 and
Disk Drive
PowerPlay Magazine, May 1985
Page 61
Here is a program that will let you
create 'self-running' programs.
Now there is no need to type RUN or
the familiar '<shift>RUN-STOP'.
When your programs LOAD, they auto-
matically begin execution.
To use this program, simply RUN
the program. When the computer is
finished and you have the 'READY.'
prompt, simply do the following:
1. LOAD your own program
2. After LOADing your program,
type:
POKE43,18:POKE44,3
Do this in the immediate mode
after your program has LOADed.
3. Now SAVE your program. You
may VERIFY if you wish.
4. Press RUN/STOP RESTORE and then
type:
POKE43,1:POKE44,8
You are now ready to try your new
'self-running' program.
***** NOTE ******
When LOADing your new program, be
sure to include a secondary address of
1 so that the program will locate
itself at the address from which it
came. For example,
LOAD"SELF-STARTER",8,1
^
<be sure to include this>
***** ANOTHER NOTE *****
Because of the nature of this
program, it does NOT return to
LOADSTAR. Please be sure you want to
RUN it before you do so.
This program is copyrighted by
PowerPlay magazine. All rights to it
are reserved. LOADSTAR has relieved
you from the burden of keying in this
program. For more complete
information about this program, refer
to the May 1985 issue of PowerPlay
Magazine.
