Hi Shawn, First of all thanks for the comprehensive infos :-) > AtariDOS: version 2.5 is the "standard" version and supports SD (90k, 720 > sector disks) and ED (130k, 1040 sector disks). > > [...] > > All of these DOSes have a MEMLO (the first usable address after DOS is > loaded) under $2000. $2000 is a safe value to use generally.

Most Atari users will know what to do with an executable > (the "new" standard filename extension is .xex) Sounds like you may have > some support files though... Yes, I do. So that's what I'll try: - 130k disk image - AtariDOS 2.5 - start address $2000 - program name extension .xex > Loading programs from disk with DOS is well-known... same as the LOAD > "*",8,1 thing the C64 folks do. You can put all sorts of menu's, etc.. but > there's no need. The savvy users will build their own, or put your program > on hard drive anyway. I see.
