Hi,
I'm implementing a ProDOS 8 program (Contiki) and have two questions
on the environment when launching it from GS/OS:
1. Is it correct to assume that there will always be a 64k /RAM device
and that it will be empty?
2. My understanding is, that there is some means of associating files
with programs in GS/OS even for ProDOS 8 programs. I assume that GS/OS
uses the "ProDOS 8 startup file protocol" (used i.e. by BASIC.SYSTEM
for .BAS files) to tell the ProDOS 8 program about the file to launch.
Does this association work based on file names or do I have to provide
some magic to allow GS/OS to assiciate my files with my program.
Currently my files are BIN files with start address 0000 using a *.PRG
naming scheme.
Thanks in advance for hints / infos, Oliver
