This command is used to read programs in from cassette tape. The various subcommands are:
LOAD The first file found is loaded into BASIC. LOADU Forces BASIC to load the first file found, regardless of any tape errors. LOAD? Verifies that the first file found on the tape has no tape errors. No comparison is performed between the file on tape and the file (if any) in memory. Additionally, the file in memory is unaffected by the LOAD?, i.e., no LOAD actually takes place.With any of the above LOAD commands, it is valid to specify a filename. The filename should not exceed 6 characters. When FILENAME is specified, BASIC will continue to search the tape until a file with a matching name is found. As BASIC reaches each file, that filename will be printed out on the screen.
Basic programs have the filetype "B" and must be RUN.
Machine Language programs have the filetype "M" and must be run by typing EXEC (execution will commence from the address specified by the bytes at locations 166/67).
This command loads the file "FILENAME" from diskette. IF the file does not exist or does not have the filetype .MWB, a File Not Found error will be given. FILENAME must not exceed eight letters.
The LOADM "FILENAME" INT EXP will load the named file at the decimal address specified. The filename must be explicit, i.e., TARGET.BEE.
Program Example.
LOAD "BUSYCALC" <CR>
LOADM "TARGET.BEE" 3000 <CR>
