HOW CAN I GET PET TAPE PROGRAMS TO DISK?



  Again you can do LOAD and SAVE as I mentioned or use a handy little utility I

  had discovered for the 64.  This program will automatically LOAD each file off

  of tape and subsequently SAVE it to disk (device number 8) and continue until

  you stop it (or a disk error occurs when it attempts to save a file with

  the same name as one already on disk, disk full, or end of tape.)



  Here is the listing (remember this is written for the Commodore 64):



  5 rem tape2disk

  10 for i=53181 to 53247:read a:poke i,a:next i

  20 print "[clr][down][down][down]tape to disk transfer program!"

  30 print"[down]insert formatted disk in drive 8."

  40 print"[down]insert tape, rewind and then press play.[down]"

  50 sys 53181

  100 data 169,1,162,1,160,1,32,186,255,169,0,162,65,160,3,32,189,255

  110 data 169,0,32,213,255,169,8,162,8,160,255,32,186,255,169,20,162

  120 data 65,160,3,32,189,255,173,61,3,141,251,0,173,62,3,141,252,0

  130 data 169,251,174,63,3,172,64,3,32,216,255,76,189,207



  Type this in, SAVE it (don't want to type it in again, right?), put a blank

  formatted disk in drive 8, type RUN.  If everything is working the messaage

  will display and the computer will now ask you to press PLAY on tape, put in

  a cassette, rewind if necessary, and press PLAY.  Let it run through the tape

  (this could take an hour or more if it is a long tape).  Reset the computer

  and load the disk directory.  You should now have the tape programs on the

  disk, note that they are all padded with extra spaces, you will need to use a

  disk or directory editor to "fix" the file names.
