BLOAD/BRUN beginning bytes

I was using a C compiler for the Apple II (cc65) I sucessfully compiled one of their examples, and I put it on a disk image to test in an emulator. But...the BLOAD/BRUN commands need a few bytes at the beginning of the file to tell it where to load, and how much. But I have no clue what exactly it needs, and in what syntax? If some Apple II innards guru could help me with this that would be wonderful!

Thanks!

AppleCommander has some nice tools to move your code to an executable form on a disk image:

Where'd you get the C compiler? Is there a digital manual?

Where can one get a the C compiler?

Also, you shouldn't need the syntax for BLOAD'ing (though you can BLOAD to a specific location) and BRUN'ing, just BSAVE'ing. It is discussed in another A][ forum here, so search for that for more details.

example: BSAVE HIRESSCRNMEM,A$2000,L$2000
-Where HIRESSCRNMEM is the name of the file to be saved, A$ indicates the starting point in memory (hexadecimal), and L$ the length of the file.

ADTPro?

Could you use ADTPro's bootstrapping utility to put binarys into an apple's memory?

Apple Game Server?

You _could_, but it would be a bit of a stretch. Apple Game Server (http://a2gameserver.berlios.de/) might be a better fit.
