Commander X16

If I upload multiple files as part of a "community download" submission, can I access them with LOAD commands? For example, if I upload a PROGRAM.PRG and DATA.BIN, could I load the DATA.BIN file from the PROGRAM.PRG with the LOAD kernal command? Similarly, if I upload a BASIC program, can I use LOAD "DATA.BIN",8?

I was looking at the demos in the official demos repository and saw the old mode 7 demo with the partial image. I realized that the whole demo could be written in BASIC using VLOAD (or just LOAD? The documentation says it should work, but it wasn't working for me). While messing with it, I made my own variant to demo something I was considering uploading. However, it requires loading the image data from a separate file from the PRG for the same reason as the mode 7 demo was cut off before.

Yes you can, but drive 8 is default, so you don't need to specify it. Just use LOAD or VLOAD. For "Try in now", you need to make sure all your files are all-caps in your ZIP file, or it may not work.
