A comprehensive package consisting of a toolkit for Basic program, monitor and assembler. The tape loaded well and proved a joy to review.

Simple but very well written instructions explain each of the three machine code programs in turn. Toolkit supports Append, Convert (memory contents into Basic data statements), Delete, Find, Line Number, Verify, Renumber and four other commands.

Together they offer a powerful system which any serious Basic programmers would be delighted to have at their disposal.

The monitor was effective without the need for fancy display, and I liked the pause facilities offered during screen scrolling.

The assembler occupies the location, also used by the hi-res screen, but if this mode is called the Toolkit and Monitor remain intact.

BYT, TXT and ASM are supported and the assembly code is entered like a Basic program - aided by Toolkit - allowing separate saving of both it and the assembled machine code.

P.W.
