Accelerated Saving with ZXLR-8TS 1000 Type-in program ZXLR-8 is a program that speeds loading and saving time with the ZX/TS. You can use it with Pro/File to typically load a 16K program in about 30 seconds. If you use a disk drive, there is no comparison in speed between ZXLR-8 and the disk. However, ZXLR-8 can do a lot of things the…

And the Winner Is...TS 1000 SET LISTS! We have a little country western band and we play for dances in our local Austin Texas area. I put every song we do in Pro/File complete with its key, who sings it, key changes, and type (walz, two step, etc.). When it comes time to play a gig, I go in and…

Blink EliminatorTS 1000 Type-in program This modification changes the computer to the SLOW mode for data entry. Being a very short program addition, I did not reDIM DS downward for more room and have had no trouble. Some readers may want to just in case.

Q-Save on the TS1500TS 1500 I use a Timex 1500 which I got to replace my 1000 so that I might continue to use the programs and accessories I purchased for the TS1000. I was dismayed to find that my Q-SAVE would not work with the 1500. A letter to the importer brought the answer that the two were just…

Time and Date EnhancementTS 1000 Type-in program Here is a little additional code which allows for inputting the time and date so that immediately upon loading you can tell when your last access to the program occured. (I did this because I am basically a disorganized person and sometimes pick up the wrong version of my Pro/File tape to work on.)

Use Pro/File to Document Your ProgramsTS 1000 A use for Pro/File I haven’t seen mentioned is on a backup computer with 16K–printer optional–as an index of variables while “composing” a program. I’m sure we’ve all had the fustration of being interrupted from programming by calls to food or bed from sheer exhaustion, and then have to back track for hours in order…

Its the same old price ($9.95) for the same great subject matter. Next issue, I have a modification that adds math capability to Pro/File. I also hope to…

Tom Bent, the illustrious editor of SyncWare News suggests that the Z80B processor chip is a much beefed up version of the Z80A. It costs a little more, but is able to handle…
