What is the file type of machine code? In Bruce Smith book "Raspberry Pi
Assembly Language" he saves a block of memory with the command *save
<filename> <startaddr>+<length>. The saved file has no file type. By a
double click the code is running from the desktop in single mode, though.

Where do I find the starting point of such a code? What is the address
where the machine code is starting?

On the Commodore 64 (or Mega65) you will type

SYS <address> to start machine code at address.

When I examine an absolute file in StrongEd (dump mode), the first line
always at address 8000. Is this also the starting point of the code?

Thanks in advance,

Alex
