DISK BASIC
You
may
execute
trsdos
commands
directly
from
basic
by
using cmd'T'.
This
is
similar
to
cmd"S"
,
except
that
it
lets
you
include
a
command
or
z-80
program
for
trsdos
to
execute.
As
long
as
basic
is
not overwritten
by
the
execution of
the
program
or
command,
control
will
return
to
basic; otherwise, control
will
return
to
trsdos.
(trsdos
commands
all
overlay basic;
your
z-80
program
may
not
if
it
loads
above
basic.)
Example
CMD"
I"
M
PROGRAM"
returns
you
to
trsdos and
executes
the
program
file
program.
CMD'T"
>A$
returns
you
to
trsdos and
executes
the
command
contained
in
a$.
CMD'T
Calendar Date Conversion
This
command
converts
dates
back and
forth
between two
formats: the standard
month,
day, year,
sequence;
and
a year,
day
of
year,
sequence.
The
content of
the
source
string
determines
which
way
the
conversion
goes.
