Re: S FIles

I saw some of you guys talking Applesoft awhile ago.  I had a problem
awhile back-- well, more of a determination-- that I couldn't figure
out.

  There are A files.  (RUN HELLO)
  And B files (BRUN PACMAN)
  And then I found.... the S files.

I have one disk-- only one in my collection of hundreds-- that was
made my Orange-Apple-COmputer-Club (or something like that) that, when
you type catalong, you get S Files.  The S files seem to be used
almost as REM statements in the Catalog.  Kind of like this:

]Catalog

  Disk Vilume 254

S 000  ===================
S 000  Welcome to Our Disk
S 000  Enjoy all the Programs
S 000  ===================
A 012  HELLO
A 014  NEWGAME

etc...

My question  How do I make a 000 byte S file appear in my disks'
catalog?!?  That is so cool!!

If you want to be daring, you can always directly edit the disk area containing the catalog. There are a few utilities available in some of the older computer magazines which let you do this. A bit of advice. If you are going to do this, do it on a practice disk first so you don't mess up anything important. Do not do it on an original or your only copy of a disk.
