    Introduction The greatest care must be taken in handling disk drives diskettes. Carefully read the notes in "Handling Diskettes" on page 69 . The master diskette and blank diskette will not be exchanged for new ones after purchase. I t is recommended that the master diskette be copied using the disk copy utility (refer to page 36) to Be sure to keep the generate a submaster diskette, and that the submaster diskette be used generally.

    1.2 Introduction to file control The DISK BASIC interpreter SB-66 1 0 is a system software which has a su perb file control f u nc­ tion . It f u lly u tilizes the large capacity and high speed accessing featu re of the floppy disk file system ·s o th at files can be u sed not only for data storage bu t also as a random access data area connected to the system program .
  • Page 12 The file to which the specif ied logical file number has been assigned is accessed by the write or read command issued by a PRINT # or INPUT # statement or by a file close statement. CHAIN and SWAP are statements which overlay a program up on another program in the m emory and transfer control to the overlying program.
