nulls or separator bytes will be saved in the file. This makes the editor
useful for creating or editing source code files for an assembler (like the
CBM assembler).
NOTE: nulls are added to the file whenever the save routine comes across
underlined text (reverse video). One null is used to mark the start of the
underlined text, another the end. The load routine interprets these nulls in
reverse, toggling the text between reverse video and normal whenever it comes
across one. Occasionally, you may load a file that contains extra nulls in it
(some BBS systems may add a few extra). When this happens, you'll have a lot
of unwanted reverse video text. Use CTRL K to correct it (in the edit mode).
Dear Everyone,
When you download Data Library files which have extensions of .IMG
( like SATIE1.IMG ) and you are using XMODEM Protocol to download these
.IMG files, if your XMODEM Terminal Program does not "strip off" or remove
the "six-character image header bytes" automatically, the downloaded Program
file will not "load and run" properly.
What you need to do then is to download from DL 1 here on CBMART, the
file which will "strip off" the "six-character image header" and run this
Program OFFLINE to convert your downloaded file. Its name is BINIMG.BIN and
you will note it has a .BIN extension so you will be able to download it just
fine with your XMODEM Terminal Program.
I downloaded the BINIMG.BIN file from DL 1 here and although I have no
files to test it with (as I use VIDTEX with B-Protocol), it seems to be run as
assumed it would That is:--
load"binimg",8
Now you will see displayed:
input file, device, drive
Enter:
inname, 8, 0
(that's provided you have a disk drive on device 8 drive 0)
Now you will see displayed:
output file, device, drive
Enter:
outname, 8, 0
NOTE: Enter just like my example as to commas and spaces. inname above is
the name of the Program that will not load properly. outname is the new
Program name for the converted file.
Next you will see displayed:
File Type? (Default S)?
Enter:
p
(for Program type file)
And a new file will be written to your disk. Then try to load this new file.
Please let me know how it goes for you. Good Luck and take care.
Sincerely,
Sysop/Betty Knig

With this new found capability I got involved in converting some C64 programs to check it out. A short example BASIC program listing follows:
