And very welcome you are, Mark!  :-)

BeebEF is now announced on TBL!.  Have fun guys!

The version on TBL! is tape based and uses longer filenames than DFS
supports.  I've managed to hack the filenames, but it still doesn't load
correctly.  Could the weird load addresses be a problem, even when using
a E00 DFS?

I'm sure I have one somewhere.  The collection in
http://nvg.org/bbc/disk/watford should have at least one copy.  I know
I've played it in BeebEm, and don't really know why a bogus one is
online.

I remember this problem from at least two copies I got from the 'net. 
Could anyone check it on a Beeb?
