If you have real hardware with tape loading, I’ve read you can load with RAND USR 836 to stop auto-run. (This I’ve never tried myself.)

I have a copy of the second edition of this book, if that is of any use?

That would be great, thanks.

Thanks for reporting the bug. I've forwarded details on to you about how to submit fixes.

The source is available on SourceForge alongside the executable dist...

I was tempted to disable it in the Hardware options but left it visible as a prompt in case someone would like to have a ...

EightyOne v1.14 is now available from SourceForge . This is a fairly small release that primarily resolves the defects that crept in with v1.13, but it also fixes a number of other minor bugs and includes a few enhancements, most notably to the Debugger's Profiler facility. See the Release history.t...

Ah, sorry. I was mixing up Damper with Glooper! I see what you mean about the yellow colour clash with the blue. Setting the everything to blue or all to yellow does make the game look very monochrome and dull, so I think I agree with you that the colour clash is the better approach.
