Re: uMIA Utility - Byte Master 48K

Yeah, one of the files does act weird. I'm not sure if it needs to load all files. Maybe you must add a new tape that must be compressed?

For me the border lines change colour aswell at the end.

Can you tell if that's an ordered series (where each title has an ordering number) or unordered?
Don’t think there was an ordering number. I’ve found an advert for the series in a mag that is online, and it seems the serie contains these 6 programs only.

Regarding the MicroSolver series mentioned here: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/17556/ZX-Spectrum/Digilog_Basic-Kompilator I'm working on preserving a utility from that series, and on the last pages of the Swedish manual, they list the programs included in the series.

I got the original. Think I uploaded it long time ago, but can't find it online?????

Think there are a slightly different version, as this started out as a Type-In game in a Danish mag.

I don't know the policy of SC on that matter. I would leave it in, added in Brackets that its a pre-release version. Better safe than sorry :D
