While trying to load a binary file into TRSDOS, I kept getting FILE SPEC REQUIRED. Down below it now says WHAT? But at 1st and repeatedly said FILE SPEC REQUIRED. I guess it got tired of telling me the same thing.
DIR :1
FILE DIRECTORY --- DRIVE 1 TRSDOS -- 01/29/80
SUPSTRKG ASTRDMW1/CMD ASTRDMW6/CMD
ASTRDMW4/CMD ASTRDMW3/CMD ASTRDMW2/CMD
DOS READY
LOAD ASTRDMW1/CMD Pasted by CTRL-v
WHAT? This happened immediately!
DOS READY
LOAD ASTRDMW1/CMD Same as above but...manually typed in!
DOS READY After a few seconds...Success
BASIC Enter disk Basic
HOW MANY FILES?
MEMORY SIZE?
RADIO SHACK DISK BASIC VERSION 2.2
READY
>LOAD "ASTRDMW1/BAS" Made-up name...but it looked for it!
FILE NOT FOUND A few seconds later!
READY
>_ BTW. I was just testing the LOAD. You actually just type the name program/CMD…not necessary to type the /CMD. Also not sure why there are so many similar filenames with a sequence #, on a disk like…
ASTRDMW1/CMD
ASTRDMW2/CMD
ASTRDMW3/CMD
etc.
The Galaxy Invasion zip contains…
galinv1a.cmd through galinv1m.cmd
But it looks like I copied just galinv1b.cmd and it appears to work
