[edit] LOAD "*",8,1

Hi, I noticed that you created an article for LOAD "*",8,1. This has been proposed for deletion. You might want to comment at that discussion. By the way, you expressed some uncertainty in the article as to what the ,1 portion of the command was for. It is the secondary address, and it indicates to the system that the file should be loaded with no relocation. If the secondary address is omitted, the program will always load at the start of BASIC RAM, no matter where it was saved from. It is necessary to use the ,1 extension when dealing with software that needs to be loaded elsewhere - for instance, software that autoboots by overwriting vectors. That's why you usually use LOAD "*",8,1 with commercial disks. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 05:57, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
