File Translator
Written by: Bob Nadler
Using the Modem/300 File Translator
Commodore Microcomputers, October 1985
Page 62
If you have purchased a Modem/300,
then you may know that there is a
program listing in the manual that
allows you to translate downloaded
SEQuential into PRoGram files. Here
is that program, on disk, with a few
enhancements.
The program is designed to
translate programs that are
downloaded as SEQuential files into
usable program files. The program
uses the dynamic keyboard method to
get data from the SEQuential file and
store it in memory as a program line.
To use the program, you need a
program that is in the form of a
SEQuential file. When RUN, the
program will ask for a filename. You
should input the name of the
SEQuential file you want to make into
a program file. The program will
then translate the program lines in
the SEQuential file into real
program lines stored in memory.
When the program is finished
translating, the message "FINISHED"
will be printed on the screen. At
this point, all of the lines from the
SEQuential file will be in memory in
the form of a program. Be careful to
avoid programs having line numbers in
the 60000's as those are the line
numbers used by the File Translator
program. You should now delete the
eleven lines that make up the File
Translator program. They are the
lines from 60100 to 61000. When this
is done, you can SAVE your new
program to disk.
