New old routine...

Post by uglifruit »

Found a cassette with my handwriting on... with a routine I'd apparently written in 1987 (and, I written a BASIC front end for it in 1988). So I'd have been 15 and 16.

...AND the tape still loaded!

It was a tiny little machine code replacement for using INPUT in a BASIC program. And it was actually okay! I think I was concerned that my friends might 'break' out of the INPUT and see behind the curtain. I quite liked the routine, although it didn't check for the end of the screen, so was still Scroll? break-outable of - so much for my bulletproof security!

Given the effort I put in on the BASIC program I must have been very proud of it!

(I was "A.Jax" back then. In fact I still am to school friends from way back).
