Subject: Out of room (BEEBEM emulator)

 
Peeps
 
Bit of advice please.
 
I?m running Acornsoft Sphinx Adventure on BEEBEM (4.14 last stable release)
using the BBC standard and BBC + emulations.
 
I am using this because it has SAVESTATE and also seems more predictable
when pasting text from Windows (10).
 
When I paste a small text list of instructions, most of these are successful,
but it clearly builds up some kind of memory leak, because eventually Sphinx
fails with an ?No room at line 488?.
 
I?ve tried both the cassette and disc versions (after a CTRL-BREAK) from
Stairwaytohell.com
 
I?ve included the text below if you care to try (John in Holland I can see
you rolling your eyes are this trivia? ? )
 
I can?t seem to paste text in the MODELB emulator so I?m stuck. If I paste
some of the commands and type the rest, it still eventually fails so presumably
there is something in the way the paste is being executed? Perhaps the speed
of input?
 
I await feedback from the Gestalt 
 
Thanks
 
 
 
John
