"+ 1 z$=" You may have noticed the POKEs in line 3 in Wizard Prang's bit in this issue (if you don't look at the listings then you are missing half the magazine). These transfer the address in the NXTLIN variable, which points to the location of the line following line 3, to the VARS variable, which points to the end of the program.": 1 z$=" Un-important bugs are those that effect only the formatting of text, like the CHR$ 9 and CHR$ 8 errors. These are cursor control characters for cursor right and left (backspace). The first doesn't work at all, and the second fails when you try to backspace from screen line 1 to line 0, and worse if you try it from line 0 to -1!.": 1 z$=" This trick can be performed in reverse too, to remove all of a program above a given line. To do this, you poke the PROG variable, which points to the beginning of the program, with NXTLIN, then STOP. This removes everything up to and including the line that does the POKEs. It's actually still there, but it will neither LIST nor SAVE.": 1 z$=" This tells the BASIC that the program ends after line 3. By itself this would only cause trouble, as there is no end of program marker. There should be a byte equal to 128 instead of the next line number. This detail is put right by the CLEAR command following the POKEs, which places the marker in the location VARS points to.": 1 z$=" The ones that are important are the '-65536' bug, which renders this number as -1 when it figures in some types of calculation (try to PRINT INT -65536) and the division error which causes the calculation of many fractions to be wrongly rounded (try PRINT 1/2-.5). These bugs can lead to puzzling and intractable mistakes.": 1 z$=" The omission of the systems variables from the new manual issued with the Spectrum Plus was a mistake, as they are the most useful part of the larger manual that came with the original Spectrum. Those four pages are thumbed grey in my own copy, though much of the rest remains unread. Many of the mag's tricks require them.": 1 z$=" The entertaining bug is the 'Scroll?' bug that reprints the last direct command entered and then a string of garbage including most of the Spectrum keywords when you reply to 'Scroll?' by pressing both caps shift and symbol shift together twice and then pressing any other key. Oddly enough this doesn't seem to do any harm.": 1 z$=" The Spectrum has been around a long time now- ages in terms of computer life expectancy. One computer year is worth 3 dog years, which as you know are worth seven human years. That makes the Spectrum over 65, about time for the case to turn grey. It's a spritely old codger though, due to regular games of 'Daley's Decathalon'.": 1 z$=" More esoteric are errors that cause SCREEN$ and STR$ to store too many results, supplanting any figure already stored and about to be calculated with the result of the STR$ or SCREEN$ function. These bugs can lead to mistakes that matter, but they can be easily cured by using the function to define a variable, which can then be": 1 z$=" If you use the CLOSE # command without first opening the stream you are about to close, then you are likely to reset the computer if you use a stream number higher than 3. As the OPEN # command is only useful with microdrives, CLOSE should be avoided on unexpanded machines. When microdrives are fitted, this bug disappears.": 1 z$=" If you had stored the original PROG in a couple of variables you could now POKE it back in and get the 'deleted' part of the program back. The only way to really delete it and reclaim the memory is to use NEW, which will remove the whole thing, of course, so this technique should only be used to shorten a prog for saving.": 1 z$=" For those with Pluses, here are the System variables addresses: VARS 23627 and 23628 PROG 23635 and 23636 NXTLIN 23637 and 23638 Each requires two locations to store a two byte address, but you need not calculate the decimal equivalent, just move the two bytes from one place to the other.": 1 z$=" During this period, most of the Spectrum's often charming and entertaining bugs have been extensively documented in various books and magazines. The Spectrum is not as badly afflicted as its detracters make out, however, and few of the bugs actually have any important effect on the working of a program. ": 1 z$=" Any number above 62222 will fail in this way if entered as a direct command, and sometimes an even lower number will fail within a program. There is of course no reason to use so big a number with RESTORE, but care must be taken when select- ing DATA by computed RESTOREs to ensure that this limit is not exceeded accidentally.": 1 z$=" Another lethal bug, which I have not seen described before elsewhere (can this be yet another first?), is the RESTORE bug. RESTORE can be used alone or with a line number, but the ROM doesn't check that this number is a legal line number. If you RESTORE 65000 it will be accepted, but the computer will hang up looking for line 65000.": 1 z$=" Press 'L' to LOAD the next section of the magazine."+ 1 z$=" Sorry, Cribbage needs 48K- Let tape run- Loading reviews" 1 z$=" Loading Cribbage Let tape run": 1 z$=" Poking Around": 1 z$=" A New Bug?": 1 ves the emotional identification with the character that makes most adventure games work.
