L/Entwis1

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Dear Gus,

I'm trying to write a simple Desk Top Publisher but I need a procedure on
which I can save a required screen. At the moment I'm using 
*SAVE Screen 5800 7FF MODE4 My problem lies if I want to save it under
another name other than screen. I don't want to corrupt the screen with
the file name as with *LOAD Screen 5800

Can any subscribers help.

Many thanks,

Bill Entwistle

WE HAD AN ARTICLE A FEW EUGs AGO ABOUT MAKING INVISABLE !BOOT FILES I
THINK IT WAS RICHARD AND ROSS LITTLE. I CAN'T FIND IT!!

YOUR PROBLEM IS OF COURSE THAT YOU WANT TO USE DIFFERENT FILE NAMES EACH
TIME.

ONE IDEA WHICH OCCURS TO ME IS TO TURN OFF THE VDU DRIVERS AND ENTER YOUR
*SAVE ..... THEN. 

THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY AND HOPEFULLY SOME MEMBERS MIGHT BE ABLE TO
SUGGEST WHAT IT IS.
