DLOAD

SYNTAX

   DLOAD filename [FROM offset] [TO address] [SIZE size]

PURPOSE

On the c64 and c128 target, you cannot indicate the offset and the size.

Dynamically (at run-time) load a file from a mass storage. The DLOAD command allows you to (dynamically) load a file from a mass device. The syntax allows you to load a specific file (filename) starting from a specific offset within the file, towards a specific address in memory for a certain number of bytes. Note that the behavior of this instruction strictly depends on the target where it is executed. It follows that not all options are necessarily available on every target.

On the atari and atarixl target, it is not possible to omit the number of bytes and the starting address.

EXAMPLE

  DLOAD "test" TO finalAddress SIZE 16

ABBREVIATION

 Dl
