Re: Creating Startup Disks?

[ljsilicon@aol.com (LJSILICON)]

Bob,
No sense posting this to the entire CSA2, besides I'm sure that you will get
more advise from Natahn before long. Any file that you name STARTUP on a ProDOS
disk will execute on boot up. There are a lot of utilities like Copy II Plus
that will allow you to copy files to a formatted ProDOS or DOS 3.3 disk. To
give the student a choice of programs will require you to write a bit of BASIC
code. For example, if you have 3 programs called PROGRAM1, PROGRAM2 and
PROGRAM3, the code could look like this:

10 TEXT: HOME
20 VTAB 10
30 PRINT "(1) PROGRAM1"
40 PRINT "(2) PROGRAM2"
50 PRINT "(3) PROGRAM3"
60 PRINT
70 INPUT"PLEASE CHOOSE:"A$:A=VAL(A$):IF A<1 OR A>3 THEN GOTO 10
80 HOME:VTAB 12:?"PROGRAM LOADING..."
90 PRINT CHR$(4)"-PROGRAM"A

Be sure to save this file as STARTUP before typing RUN. Let me know if I can be
of any other help.
