[comp.sys.cbm] C-64 Turbo Tape Commands

pjc@edsdrd.UUCP (Patrick J. Cavanaugh) (04/29/88)

I need a little help with some oldstuff.
that i am trying to resurect for my kid
its an old Commodore tape drive and i forgot how to use the Turbo program
heres the problem
I have a C-64, a CBM tape recorder and
a tape full of programs. The first program
is called TURBO and all the rest of the programs are saved under the turbo format
 i cant figure out how to load turbo or to load the remaining programs
the reason this text looks so bad is that
this very message has been sent thru my trusty old 64. i didnt feel it would be
fair to ask for help on one of those newfangled wizbang boxes.


You have never really experienced joy until you have used vi (open mode) on a
40 col screen.

I presume you mean the Turbotape program from the Jan/85 issue of Compute! mag.
If so-
- turn on machine & load & run any other utilities first.
- load the Turbotape program. (It should be called TURBO/64) A command
            LOAD "TURBO/64"
will do - unless the name's been changed.
- Then run it

- Then to save a program, use TSAVE "filename". TVERIFY works to verify.
- For ML programs, use
          TSAVE "prog name",aaa,bbb
where aaa = start address, and bbb = end address + 1.

- Loading programs saved this way don't need the utility. Just load as
normal.
