When the disk is +booted on the Atari, the BASIC program is loaded into memory and run. + +There is no DOS on the disk; the BASIC program won't be able to use +the D: devices. + +The bootloader will enable BASIC if possible (600XL, 800XL, all +XEs). Otherwise (400/800/1200XL), the Atari BASIC cartridge must be +inserted. The bootloader doesn't work with other BASICs like BASIC XL, +TurboBASIC, etc. + +OPTIONS +======= + +**-atr** **-xfd** **-scp** **-dcm** **-di** + Set the output image type. Default: **-atr**. Note that the image + type is *not* affected by the filename extension (the default + is still **-atr** even with a file called *output.xfd*). + +**-long** + Use 'classic' disk size (single density, 90KB). Default is to create a + short ATR file consisting only of the sectors used. + +**-message** *text* + Sets message displayed while the program is loading. + +EXIT STATUS +=========== + +Zero for success, non-zero for failure. + +.. include:: manftr.rst |
