Getting information * INFO, *EX and
about your files *OPT1
The *INFO command displays information about the file so that
you can find out how big it is, what its access string is, and what
its reload and execution addresses are (these terms are explained
in the section on Machine-code and data files).
Type: *INFO <filename>[RETURN] The
information is shown in this order:
■ filename
■ reload address
■ execution address
■ size
■ access string
■ the date the file was most recently saved
■ the System Internal Name of the file: this gives the
location of the file on the disc.
The reload and execution addresses, the file size, and the System
Internal Name are given in hexadecimal.
EXAMPLE
Typing: *INFO BASIC[RETURN]
might display
BASIC FFFF1200 FFFF8023 000043
WR/ 01:12:85 000145
Here, the display shows:
■ filename:
BASIC
■ reload address
: FFFF1200
■ execution address
: FFFF8023
■ size: 000043
■ access string
: WR/
■ the date the file was most recently saved: 1
December 1985
■ the System Internal Name of the file
: 000145.
You can use *INFO on directories as well as on files. The reload
and execution addresses, which have no meaning for directories,
will show as zeros.
