Subject: Z80 Turbo Pascal Question

Question:  I want to write a two-step program in Turbo Pascal -- The question
is will what I want to do work.

I want Step1 to read in and fill various arrays.  (The arrays are going to 
be relatively constant, and I am trying to avoid filling them every 
time I execute the program.  The arrays will probably have 300-ish elements 
in several arrays -- to much to really fill "by hand".  Besides, the data 
will change from time to time (it is actually Family data (birthdays, 
anniversaries, etc.))).  Then I want to Chain (?) to Step2 which will 
actually run the program applications.

If I exit the program immediately after chaining, and then SAVE the program,
will I be able to execute Step2 only (with its nicely filled arrays.
If this won't work, is there some cute trick that I can do to make it work?

Exactly what state in program execution does the SAVE statement get it?  (If
I am misunderstanding the operation of the Save statement, forgive my
obviously idiotic ramblings.)

Thanks
Susan

I can't even find time to clean house and you want me to come up with a .sig?
     And now she wants to go back to grad school after 14 years .....  
     We'll let her out when the delusion passes.
