Re: Civilization (in progress)

Whether you see President Trump as a hero or a villain, he definitely needs to be included. As a Trump fan, I don't mind if he's portrayed as a villain, because it's only fiction. As for Putin, however, that could be deeply upsetting for Ukranians, so maybe ask some Ukranians how they feel? And tha...

Re: A Beta Basic version which seems to be uMIA

Well, as I have exactly the same version right in front of me it can't be "ultra rare" at least. IMHO it is the original English Beta Basic 3.0 with a (very well translated butporly printed) manual in German from 1985. My one has though an additional tape with some examples on it. The fron...

Re: BASIN and UDG graphics

Oh, perfect. Thanks! Is there a way how to save (and then open) the whole project at once? Not only BASIC, but also memory blocks with exported UGD, chars, assembler routines, etc.? As I don’t know any better I saved such projects as tap with LINE and loaded everything else from there with LOAD CODE.

Re: BASIN and UDG graphics

You need to export the UDG to memory after importing IIRC.
