": 1 " A Spectrum tape file consistsof a header block of 17 bytesgiving the file name, length andloading information, followed bya data block of the requiredlength.

This can be a useful way ofproducing index cards for yourtapes, or finding out what is ona tape without scrolling thescreen. 1 The file quoted, or the nexton the tape, is loaded into workspace, but files already loadedare not overwritten. By thismeans, several files can beloaded without changing tapes,if there is enough store. Merged files are saved orverified in a single operationin the order they were loaded. 1 Sometimes a file will fail toload due to insufficient store. The maximum possible store ismade available by this command,which deletes this BASIC program(including these instructions)and the user graphics area. Any files currently loadedare also lost. 1 The tape is scanned and theheader information for each filefound is output. To stop the listing, or whenthe end of tape is reached,press 1 The next file on the tape isloaded, and File Copy waits foryou to change the tape.
