Word Writer for C64
« on: May 14, 2012, 10:50:29 am »
So I've got Word Writer for the C64, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to load a saved file from a floppy.

Any of you old farts remember how?

I'll have to see if I have that cheat sheet thing that you taped on the keyboard that told you what all the word writer special function keys did.

I don't even know what would possess you to dive into word writer these days. I thought using WW is considered a form or torture these days.  :dizzy:

I have disk with a document on it, and I want to see what's there.

The filename, according to LOAD"$",8 is:

"W/W DATA03/28/92"

What do I use as the filename to load?  I've tried all combinations of the above I can think of.

God, I hated typing that in.  Even with the checksum program running.
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

try

load "*",8,1

or

load "W/W DATA03/28/92" ,8,1   but this looks like DATA not the actual program. It prob ended with SEQ not PRG (extension way to the right colum)

then

RUN

Since there's just the prg on there, load"*",8,1 will work just fine for you.  You may have to type run as well after.
