If you have ever tried converting programs written for other computers to run on the TS 1000 then you are probably aware that the DATA, READ, and RESTORE statements are frequently used commands which are not available in SINCLAIR 8K BASIC. The machine code programs presented in this article can be used to replace these basic statements.
