These two are superb with each other. The speed of the DOS makes a TS2068 file management program practical. They don’t get any better than these two.
Pro/File’s built-in custom search command, “<=” (SYMBOL-SHIFT Q), allow executing BASIC programming from the Pro/File menu. If a disk has a CAT and LOADer program as disk file 0, the data entry required to LOAD new data into Pro/File is reduced to a few keystrokes.
Install the Pro/File cart and exit to BASIC with the search command “<=”. Add this BASIC to the existing Pro/File line 1 REM and re-enter with “GO TO 5”. From Pro/File you may SAVE data under the current name with a search command of “<=S”. Program-0 on the disk is accessed with a search command of “<=L”. Any other search command with a prefix of “<=” returns you to BASIC and executes any programing existing after line 10.
2 IF X$="<=L" THEN LOAD
3 IF X$="<=S" THEN SAVE /F$ LINE VAL "5"
5 POKE VAL "23750",VAL "126": GO TO NOT PI
10 IF X$="<=S" OR X$="<=L" THEN GO TO NOT PI
