After a compile, with VICE, I type start myapp.prg on the command line which starts VICE and also does a load and run. To have the program have the basic stub and start at $0801 is very effective. On Power64 which I use on OS X, it's almost the same. I still have to type RUN which is shorter than any SYS xxxx command. I very much prefer this ease of use as a default. Is it possible to do this "smart" and have it, if no --start-addr is given target $0801 with a basic stub or otherwise target the specified address with no stub, and lastly have the option forcing the stub off (so you can target $0801 with no stub)? I don't really know what I am talking about with linker configs - I have hardly looked into the config files other than to add optional=yes to some things so I do't get warnings and I know I need one or I don't get the code generated properly. As I said, I am very new to all of this, but my suggestion seems, to me, to satisfy casual users, newcomers and allow flexibility for those that do know what they want/need.
