Now you can transfer any of those data tapes in as previously described. Just follow these instructions:
- Have an improved copy of Pro/File in your computer. If you have just loaded in a master copy choose the CREATE option and then enter the name of the file data you will be transporting over. If this is not a freshly loaded master, then first break in and enter RUN 9996.
- If you are using my SAVE options then break into the program and enter LOAD “” CODE PEEK 23627+256*PEEK 23628+12 and play in the data tape. If you are not using my save routines then do the same thing but change the +12 to +6.
- When loading is complete, enter LET P=whatever you wrote down for this data. At this point we have given the proper name to the file, transferred the actual data, and reset the value of P. That’s all we need so:
- Enter GO TO 1.
You should already have made backup master copies of the program so now you can just save the data if you put in my save routines or save one of the other ways if you prefer. When done go back and transfer another data tape if any. Keep in mind that this process allows you to put your files ina fully expanded D$ array even if you had previously reduced capacity when adding options from the manual.
Remember to keep previous versions of your files somewhere in case you made an error. I have found from experience that such bugs often don’t appear for quite some time.
