REZTAPE.COM
REZTAPE.COM is a program for managing the virtual cassette tapes feature in REMEMOrizer. It is
much like the RETAPE.COM program used to do the same thing on REMEMOTECH.
There is one read/write 64KB SRAM slot (slot number 0) and a read-only 64KB SRAM slot (slot
number 1).
The following commands can be used :-
REZTAPE
List bytes 1-15 of each virtual cassette tape in each slot. ie: the name to LOAD from MTX BASIC.
REZTAPE SLOT
Delete the contents of the indicated slot.
REZTAPE INPUT.MTX SLOT
Read file INPUT.MTX and write it into the indicated slot. Note: The file cannot be larger than the size
of the slot.
REZTAPE SLOT OUTPUT.MTX
Read the indicated slot and write to a file called OUTPUT.MTX. Note: The resulting file will be the
size of the slot, regardless of how many bytes have been saved to that virtual cassette tape.

The INOUT routine in the MTX BASIC ROM has been patched so that :-
LOAD "" Loads from slot 0.
LOAD "NAME"
Looks for NAME in slots 0 to 1 and loads it. If no slot has this name, then a "No data" error
results (a real Memotech MTX just keeps reading hoping that it will eventually find a saved
file with this name, but REMEMOrizer knows it is not present and so gives up).
VERIFY "" Verifies against the data in slot 0.
VERIFY "NAME"
Looks for NAME in slots 0 to 1 and verifies against it. If no slot has this name, then a "No
data" error results.
SAVE "NAME" Saves to slot 0.
The recommended approach to use is to use REZTAPE.COM to write the game you wish load to a
tape slot, switch to MTX BASIC, and the LOAD it. If you save anything from MTX BASIC, boot to
CP/M afterwards and use REZTAPE.COM to read slot 0 and write to a .MTX file.
