In the good old days of Commodore (64 and 128), the command to type to load the first program off a disk was:
LOAD "*",8,1
Where I take it that "*"
was probably a wild card that would just effectively give all the contents of the disk to LOAD
which would then successfully load whatever happened to be the first loadable (i.e. executable) item on the disk.
But what are the other two parameters for?
