Utilities No. 1
By Hilton Computer Services
Dragon 32

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #49

A machine code program with the options presented as a menu. You choose by using the arrow keys.

One utility allows you to break down programs into their file names, lengths, whether they are machine code, the start and execute addresses. In short, you can create a cassette catalogue.

Another utility cleverly compresses a Basic program by removing all spaces and REM statements. You would be surprised by the saving in memory - I gained nearly 2K on a large adventure program.

The cassette is easy to use, all instructions are explained clearly and jumping between the utility and a Basic program is performed by simply using the break key to jump out of the program and an EXEC statement to continue using the utility.

Supplied with an inlay card run off a printer, the cassette is very useful if you use your Dragon a lot and, at just a fiver, good value.
