Apparently I have underestimated my Atlantic cousins's powers of clarvoiance. I just assumed you read minds, like we do here -- for example, right now Robin is thinking about hockey, and furnaces. Todd Elliot is thinking about women, as usual, without any... good heavens. Um.... Anyways, I was thinking of sticking Tunesmith (which at www.ffd2.com/fridge) on a disk, along with a whole bunch of term programs, PRlink, maybe even splurge $0.50 on a 1670, and anything else handy, and sending it to him. Also, I *did* tell him there were better methods of getting stuff than hand typing. > > Tunesmith, btw, is around 16,000 lines of code. > > OK, so that's quite a lot of code, but hasn't everyone had a go at > typing in 3 or 4K worth of hex into a ZX81? Eh? Eh? ZX81?! (Ptui!) Anyways, I remember well, typing in long programs out of the mags, back in the days of motivation, but they usually had some sort of checksum involved :). My favorite was the days before line checksums were developed. More than once do I recall spending weeks typing in several pages of data statements, to be informed upon running of an "error in data". Better than nothing, but not much better! Anyways, if someone could help the original guy out I would be most appreciative. -Steve Todd! That's disgusting! Stop it!!
