Step 1: Launch JACE and configure it for a mass-storage.
Step 2: Place a hard drive image with z-basic in drive 1
Step 3: Point drive 2 at an empty sub-directory (you'll have to type it in)
Step 4: Configure the motherboard to run at max speed
Step 5: Boot up the drive and launch z-basic. Go to the editor mode
Step 6: Save a raw text file in the directory you set as drive 2. Make sure your text editor uses Mac line endings
Step 7: From z-basic, change the prefix to /VIRTUAL
Step 8: Use the "LOAD*" command to load the raw text.
Step 9: Run your program, use LOAD* to reload it again as necessary!
This is AWESOME! I'm able to finally get some use from this virtual filesystem feature in JACE. Too bad I don't have the mockingboard support at 100%, but there's enough new stuff to warrant a sourceforge build update.
