DOSMATE v1.2
Freeware software DOS detach utility for the Dragon 32/64
(C) 2010 Stephen J Woolham
This program may be freely distributed and used for any purpose.
DOSMATE is a software DOS detach utility that can be used in one of two ways:
(1) Load "DOSMATE.BIN", and type 'EXEC' to cold start BASIC with DOS detached.
(2) Load "DOSMATE.BIN" first. Then load any machine code program (game) from disk, and type 'EXEC550' to detach DOS and run the machine code program.
I have included an audio file (DOSMATE.WAV) for easy transfer via audio cassette to a real Dragon. Load from cassette and save to disk with 'SAVE"DOSMATE",&H226,&H2D8,&H226'.

Stephen J. Woolham

Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite. BASIC programs can now be loaded from disk and run after DOS is detached.
