Create a file on magnetic tape: Difference between revisions

The task is to create a new file called "TAPE.FILE" of any size on Magnetic Tape

 

STATUS = CREATE ("tape.file",tape-o,-std-)

PRINT STATUS</lang>

<pre>

OK

The ZX Spectrum does not have file type extensions, so we save as TAPEFILE, rather than TAPE.FILE. We can use any start address, depending on where we want the data to come from. Here we dump the contents of the screen:

<lang zxbasic>SAVE "TAPEFILE" CODE 16384,6912</lang>
