Datassette/player or disk drive to try running
the program as you normally would from the
first step. Then, perform the appropriate proce

If no backup copy was made and you are
working with the original cassette or diskette
program, just follow the appropriate procedure
for cassette or diskette.
ON CASSETTE
STEP 1
Turn on the computer, the TV, and the
Datassette/player.
STEP 2
Take the cassette containing the copy of the
program you just made (or the original if no

ON THE 64, when the message FOUND
appears, press either the C= key or the SPACE
bar to continue loading the program.
STEP 4
To run the program, type RUN and press
RETURN.
