Technical information

Except for system files, if a file suffix is not .TEXT,
or .CODE, that file will be copied as a data file.
Stating the last paragraph another way: SYSTEM.EDITOR,
SYSTEM:FILER, etc. will be moved properly as will files ending in
PROGRAM will be transferred, but will be marked in the disk
directory as a data file. A file labelled as such cannot be
executed by the system. Without moralizing unduly, let it be said
that if the file suffix reflects the type of file that it
represents you should have no problems.

VIII. USING THE GRAPHICS DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS:
The following demonstration programs as supplied on
diskette, are designed to run in a system with a minimum of two
drives. For Slideshow, an additional requirement is that of a
pseudo—disk with at least 64 blocks free to hold the 4 high
resolution screens. In practical terms, at least two 32K cards
or a 64K card or larger must be installed.
These programs are included for their tutorial value only
and well—documented source is provided. It should be possible to
modify the programs to show one slide at a time with a single
drive system and a single 32K card, if desired.
