THE FUNDAMENTAL PROCESS FOR USING PROGRAMS FROM THE CLUB 100 LIBRARY

If you are going to download files from the library using a DOS/Windows computer, you need to know how to convert the files into runnable code vs. just a text file. All of the programming online is in ASCII (AKA .DO files) regardless of the extension indicated online. To "run" these programs in your Model "T" you must first...

1. Download the program from the library to your DOS/Windows computer
2. Rename the extension to .DO ... but beware, the docs file may already be named to .DO ... rename that one to .TXT.
3. Load the program file over to your Model "T"
4. Go into BASIC
5. LOAD"FILENAME.DO (hit enter) ... and wait for the OK prompt
6. SAVE"FILENAME.BA (hit enter) ... to create the runable version
7. Exit BASIC

You may now run the program. But before you do, a good idea is to save the runnable version (.BA, or if the .ba version creates a .co version .CO) back to your DOS/Windows computer so you don't have to convert the program each time you want to use it.
