It ought to work.  I've just tested the master copy I have here and it
works fine.  It's actually a bit quicker than the official Acorn one.

I would say to make sure you have typed it in correctly, with all the
?, & and ! symbols in the right places (you can miss out the REM
statements to save time but keep the line numbers the same).

Make sure you select drive 0 if you are using a single floppy otherwise
you will get a "Drive fault 14" error.

Best wishes,



Ian

Well I typed it in and it ran but I am still getting the same message. Alas
I no longer have the right cables to tape it etc so I'll have another go
tomorrow as it's now the early hours of the morning!
I think it's a BBC B (32k)
