HELLO, APPLESOFT and LOADER.OBJ0 in one program



Sorry, this doesn't have the fastloader of LOADER.OBJ0, but it's got everything else.

http://www.dosius.net:8080/baslod.zip

In 436 bytes, I have written a program that loads either FPBASIC or INTBASIC, 42-sector version, copies the monitor ROM to RAM, and runs a BASIC HELLO program. The LOADER.OBJ0 from DOS 3.3/1983 is 1092 bytes, but contains a fastloader.

The .dsk image contains a sample usage of BASLOD: it is the boot file on the disk, and runs a common HELLO program. BASLOD will load and run the same on both FPBASIC and INTBASIC ROMs. (Note it will give the spurious "You need 64K RAM to run this program" error if you run it from RAM BASIC.) Source code is in the zipfile.
