How do I edit !BOOT on disks ?
How do I edit !BOOT on disks ?
So I learnt how to create !BOOT to make disks autoboot when pressing shift + break, but how do I edit the !BOOT file if I want to make changes ?
Re: How do I edit !BOOT on disks ?
Use a text word processor such as View, though for most examples the easiest method is to just *TYPE the existing file, and then overwrite it with *BUILD and copy what you want from the screen.
>*TYPE !BOOT
CHAIN "MENU"
>*BUILD !BOOT
0001 *BASIC
0002 MODE 7:CHAIN "!MENU"
Escape
>_
>*TYPE !BOOT
CHAIN "MENU"
>*BUILD !BOOT
0001 *BASIC
0002 MODE 7:CHAIN "!MENU"
Escape
>_
Code: Select all
$ bbcbasic
