Extended Basic Long format

[RXB]

XB256 has a utility that forces a save in IV254 format. This is part of the Game Developer's Package that can be downloaded from the Development Resources at the top of the page.

You would load and run XB256, then load the XB program. Then:

CALL LINK(“SAVEIV”,”DSKn.FILENAME”)

This will save an XB program in IV254 format. See page 26 for more information.

Also, I think Rich Gilbertson did some work including this with RXB and it may be part of that package.

Yea in RXB just do this.

 

SAVE DSKn.FILENAME ! This will save like normal XB Program format or if larger then 13K in IV254 format (Long Format)

 

SAVE DSKn.FILENAME,IV254 ! This is a new feature in RXB that saves any program in IV254 format, but must be larger then 2 sectors to work.
