Although written for the ZX81, this program should work as printed on the Spectrum/2068. As most dabblers in electronics know, the value of a resistor is given by a set of colors printed on its side. This short program will decode the full four bands almost instantly. А very useful utility to have for building Frank Bouldin’s ТLSL box.
