;; This example shows a disc loader program which is a executable binary
;; file.
;;
;; This loader can be run direct from BASIC using:
;; RUN"<loader> [RETURN]
;; replace <loader> with the name of the loader file
;; (e.g. RUN"SOLOMONS")
;;
;; 1. assemble the loader using MAXAM or other compatible assembler
;; 2. note the start and end addressess; use this to calculate the length of the data
;; 3. in BASIC type: SAVE"<loader>",B,<start>,<length>,<execution>
;;    replace <loader> with the name of the loader file
;;	          <start> with the start address of the loader file
;;			  <length> with the length of the loader file
;;			  <execution> with the execution/start address of the loader file
;;
;; Loader supports:
;; - loading from disc drive A and B.
;; - loading using AMSDOS and other DOSs (e.g. ROMDOS).
