# Mike’s Notebook: MKDATA

One of the “must have” utilities that any self-respecting software “hacker” needs in his/her arsenal of tools is a DATA line maker. Although there are several available, especially for the Spectrum ROM, mv favorite one appeared in the May 1988 newsletter of the [Capital Area Timex Sinclair Users Group](http://localhost/usergroup/capital-area-timex-sinclair-users-group/) by [H.E. Weppler](http://localhost/indiv/h-e-weppler/). I have simplified it and moved the CODE to a safe area below BASIC.
