2068 Variable Save TrickGetting right to the point of this article, why would anyone want to save only the variables from a program? There are two reasons. First, some programs are used to store various sets of data. For example, I use PRO/FILE to keep track of student information, music lists, customers, and other things.Timex/Sinclair 2068, Type-in program
2068 WindowsWith the wave of new micros touting their window abilities maybe other 2068 owners like myself have been keeping quiet. Well, if you have been feeling sorry for yourself because you have a computer that “won’t do windows” then cheer up! Those windows are painlessly easy on the mighty 2068!Timex/Sinclair 2068, Type-in program
2068 Word Wrap UtilityWhen printing a text to the screen by using the PRINT statement, words at the end of the screen often will be cut off in the middle and continued on the next line. This makes the text difficult to read.Timex/Sinclair 2068, Type-in program
Basil's Compendium: Why Use Machine Code?If you have the choice between simple and complicated, simple is usually the more elegant.

TS1000 Advanced Calculator ProgramMy work is primarily applied math and engineering design. In addition to using mirco and main frame computers, much of the work is ‘one time thru’ evaluation of complex formulas and expressions. Prior to developing the programs presented herein, this was done with scientific calculators and hand written ‘engineering notes’ which were passed on to the client.Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program
Wordsearch: A Comparison between the ZX80 and TS1000The differences as to how the two machines handle relational operators turned out to be the key to making the WORDSEARCH program operate successfully on the TS1000. In the process of translating from ZX80 Basic to TS1000 Basic, a number of "tricks" were discovered that allow successful conversion of programs between the two computers.Sinclair ZX80, Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program
WRX 16 Hi-Res for the 1000For several years, ZX81/TS1000 owners have dreamed of a simple bit-mapped high-resolution system for their machines.
