Re: Little bugs in the database 6

Could you please confirm these are the correct titles? https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/list?group_id=550 Yes, but there are only 6 titles in the serie, 'Digilog Basic-Kompilator', should be renamed to 'Basic Kompilator', and moved into the 'Softek 'IS' BASIC Compiler' entry :-) Also all 6 Swedish n...

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?

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.

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.
