Multiload programs in VICE
How can I run a program in VICE with more than one part? I have a few programs which load the graphics with the first program and the game in the second program. However, VICE seems to clear memory completely when the second program is loaded. Is there a setting to keep memory untouched and still drag-n-drop a program?

There's no setting to keep the memory on an autostart, that I know of. The VIC always is hard-resetted beforehand.
However, if you drag-n-drop the first file into the VICE directory, that file - and the surrounding directory! - are mounted in virtual drive emulation, as drive #8. Provided the first file automatically loads in the following part, everything should work anyway.
If the first file doesn't load the next part, then I'd first try to add something like this as last line:
Finally, you should consider putting the two (or more) files on a *.d64 image. They're better kept together this way.
