[Coco] Original Gamer Stevie Strow reviews Xmas Rush

[Salvador Garcia]

Thanks Barry and James! I got the program to load and run. Unfortunately, since these messages are being blobbed into one huge block of text I did not perceive the fact that EXEC is a separate command. My initial attempts failed because I was typing in the LOADM and EXEC statements on the same line without any separator. Regards, Salvador

> From: barry.nelson at amobiledevice.com> I do not have this particular game but based on the name of the two files the correct procedure should be:> LOADM"XMASRUSH.BIN"> EXECBarry, True...  however, Salvador was asking about Floppy Drive 1 so technically it'sLOADM"XMASRUSH.BIN:1"However, DECB has always allowed the shortcut to drop the .BIN and the enclosing double quotes as a shortcut.in this case LOADM"XMASRUSH:1works just fine> This is the standard way to load a Disk Extended Color Basic machine code program which will always have a name ending with .BIN.>>> Salvador Garcia ssalvadorgarcia at netscape.net>> Wed Dec 23 13:22:32 EST 2015>>>> Pardon my lack of knowledge:-) I downloaded the DDSK image, loaded it into VCC on floppy disk 1. and got a directory listing using DIR 1. I got two files: XMASRUSH.BIN and COPYING. How do I load and run XmasRush? Thanks! Salvador 		 	   		  -- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
