    Basic Command For C64 Disk
    « on: March 24, 2009, 11:37:18 AM »
    My father said that there was a way to pull up the name of the program on the disks if you didnt know it.  I tried google and havent found anything an my books but it dont say anything about path,verify or anything.

    If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

                yes yes- of course, the c64 stored files in a special "$" file.

                it didn't display anything, because you have simply loaded it.

                you also need to type LIST to list it.

                  I thought that was a wildcard.  Oh its one of those, evil language.
