This program is a loader and save utility for a machine code routine called BIGCHAR, stored at memory address 64960 and occupying 407 bytes. When run normally, execution jumps to line 30, which calls the machine code at 64960 via RANDOMIZE USR. The routine will print the phrase in the REM on line 36 in large characters.

## Source Code

```
   10 REM BIGCHAR
   11 GO TO 30
   20 LOAD ""CODE 
   30 RANDOMIZE USR 64960
   36 REM "** L.I.S.T. GROUP **"
   39 STOP 
   40 SAVE "BIGCHAR" LINE 20: SAVE "CHAR"CODE 64960,407
   50 STOP
```
