Do any of your readers know of an address for G.O.C. software? They wrote a morse code program for the Beeb some years ago and, to cut a long story short, when I finally managed to get the program loaded into my Elk in Mode 6, the listing alone left a mere 17 bytes of RAM free. Obviously not enough room to run this program.
A lot of scissorwork (shortening variable names, removing all the spaces etc) and finally cutting out a large piece of unusable (on the Elk) code, left me with enough RAM for the thing to actually run. However, I cannot let anyone in on this good fortune without permission from G.O.C. as I believe it would still be covered by copyright.
I also need a copy of the CAD program from Electron User called Rainbow, preferably a copy from the free tape. My version (typed in from EU) was bugged and although I did get it working I have since upgraded the program substantially. To enable me to do comparison checks and then provide you with the relevant extra lines, I need a known perfect copy.
I would also be interested to know if anyone else who typed in the listing had any problems getting it running. Is Beebug still being produced and if so by whom?
