Note that LOAD. SAVE. and VERIFY have the same parameters.
VERIFY should always be used following a program SAVE to see if any er-
rors occurred when writing to the tape. Sy simulating the processes of a program
LOAD. it reads and compares the program on the tape to the program in memory
without actually loading the program into memory. If an error is detected. the PET
displays a screen message to warn the user.
