	TRANSMAT will, in the AUTO mode, try to make a legal disc filename out of the original ~~cassettefilename~~ (It will also do this in the non-AUTO mode if you just press ENTER ~~whenit~~ allows you to enter your own filename). This will mean that if, in ~~themajority~~ of times, there is a BASIC loader program which draws a logo and ~~thenLOADS~~ the next program you will manually have to alter the appropriate LOAD command to cater for the new name.

If it sees that you are likely to have this problem then it will print out the Location (Loc.), Length (Len.) and if present the Execution address (Exc.)of the problem program.

It will then ask you if you wish to add a relocator to the program, pressing N will transfer program as per the original.
