Arc to Z88 Transfer
by Sheridan Williams

This program converts BBC Basic files between Acorn format and Z88 format.

When run, the program offers three options: BBC to Z88, Z88 to BBC, and Exit. Exit terminates the program, while the other two options prompt for a filename. The program checks that the file exists and contains a valid BBC Basic program in the relevant format. It then asks for the name of the output file, and generates a converted version under the specified filename.

The directory also contains a Z88 program !Z88.Patch which adds simple Basic line editing facilities to the Z88, as well as some graphics facilities. The documentation for this patch is saved in PipeDream format as !Z88.PatchTxt.

There are also four demonstration programs contained in !Z88, entitled PatchDem, FillStar, House and Squares. These programs are in Z88 format and should be downloaded to the Z88, as described in this month's magazine (RISC User, Volume 3 Issue 7 page 11).
