|
|
|
|
[](https://github.com/a2stuff/chtype/actions/workflows/main.yml)
|
|
|
|
Build with [ca65](https://cc65.github.io/doc/ca65.html)
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
* Copy target to ProDOS disk
|
|
* From BASIC.SYSTEM prompt, run: `-CHTYPE` from STARTUP (or by hand)
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
```
|
|
CHTYPE pathname[,Ttype][,Aauxtype][,S#][,D#]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
* `CHTYPE file` - show current type/auxtype
|
|
* `CHTYPE pic,T$08` - set just type
|
|
* `CHTYPE file,A$0640` - set just auxtype
|
|
* `CHTYPE now_basic,TBAS,A$801` - set both type and auxtype
|
|
* `CHTYPE /root/was_bin,TSYS` - works with absolute paths
|
|
* `CHTYPE as_text,TTXT,S6,D1` - can use slot/drive arguments too
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
* Allocates a 1 page buffer to store the code
|
|
* Relative or absolute paths can be used
|
|
* Can be invoked as lower case (e.g. `chtype ...`)
