What happens if I type > LOAD on an USR file? The same? Yes. USR, PRG and SEQ are only valid for the floppy. The C64 (or other) machine is not interested in them. All three file formats are exactly the same, only one byte in the directory is different. Having said this, USR has one special meaning, th so-called "&"-files which can be used to load a program into the *floppy* memory and execute it. However, it is just a limitation of the &-command, not of the SEQ or PRG format! > And what about LOAD,* ? Does it load the first PRG file or load the > first <whatever> file? I am not completely sure here. Note, however, that LOAD "*",8 loads the *last* *accessed* file, not the first one! If you want the latter behaviour, you must use LOAD ":*",8 > I was refering to http://www.c64-wiki.com/index.php/VC-1541 which says: The WIKI is often wrong. > Thank you for that information.

LOAD "PROG,U",8 loads a USR file named "PROG". OPEN 1,8,2,"TEST,S,W" writes a file "TEST" as SEQ. Replace S by U or P to get USR or PRG. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
