Spiro offered one solution, here is another, even simpler one:

When running under Linux (I would assume that this is true for most other
operating systems, so just try it), the current directory is treated as a
virtual disk. So if you start VICE and type

	LOAD "HELLO",8

VICE tries to load a file named "hello" from the current directory of your
hard disk if no disk image is attached.

This means that you don't have to care about disk images, just be sure your
program name does not contain any problematic characters. 

You may also give the executable on the command line:

       	x64 hello

will start the VICE C64 emulator, load the file named "hello" from the hard
disk and execute it.

Regards


	Uz
