SpartaDOS X Reference Manual |
Programming with SpartaDOS X |
| Set Boot File (BOOT) |
| Purpose | To establish the file that will be loaded when the computer is initialized when SpartaDOS X is not used. |
|
| Syntax |
XIO 45, #IOCB,0,0,'Dd:[path]fname.ext" |
|
| Remarks |
This will cause the specified file to load when the computer is turned on or cold started and the SpartaDOS X cartridge is not used. With earlier versions of SpartaDOS, the primary use of this was to cause the *.DOS file to be booted. With SpartaDOS X, the uses of this command are limited. The IOCB should be closed, and a SpartaDOS format disk must be used. Note: BOOT will not work with all binary files. There are many specific rules that must be followed when loading a file without DOS. The primary purpose of this command is to load a DOS module. |
