STORAGE MANAGEMENT LOADING ON VARIABLES

PURPOSE

This example shows how to make ugBASIC understand the memory needed for the various elements in the storage, without defining them.

SOURCE CODE

 
 GLOBAL track
 
 STORAGE "disco" AS "disk1"
 	MUSIC "example.mid" AS "track1" TO track
     MUSIC "what_a_wonderful_world.mid" AS "track2" TO track
