1.3
File
Control
There are, as mentioned in the "File" section, 3 types
of
files produced by the DISK
BASIC:
the 2 types
of
data files, sequential access files (BSD) and random access files
(BRD), and the
BASIC text (BTX) program files. The other type
of
file: the machine
language program files (OBJ),
is
a file which registers programs prepared in the
MONITOR mode, etc. on the floppy disk. This can be a program by itself
or
it can be
linked to a
BASIC text as a BASIC machine language area. Thus, even though it can
be used with the
DISK BASIC, it
is
not a
file
to prepare and to change its contents
with the
DISK BASIC.
