Chapter 8

Load the demo disk into drive 1 and boot the system. The HELLO program will automatically load and execute. After a brief commercial from the copyright holder, the program asks:

IS THE PICTURE ALREADY IN MEMORY? (Y/N)?

We respond with:

N<RETURN>

The computer retaliates with:

INSERT DISK CONTAINING PICTURE THEN PRESS RETURN

?

Since the DOS and sample PICTURES are on the same disk, press

<RETURN>

What follows is the HIRES diskette catalog of sample programs and files. The CATALOG includes these programs:

HELLO

HIRES INSTRUCTIONS

EPSON.HIRES.OBJ

The HELLO program loads the screen dump routine and prompts us with questions. This is the program we are running now.

The HIRES INSTRUCTIONS program gives hints on how to use the screen dump.

The EPSON.HIRES.OBJ program is the actual screen dump routine written in machine code. It can be accessed with the USR command from BASIC.

The rest of the tiles are HI-RES demonstration pictures, and at this writing include:
