Hi All; ZXPand Organizer is a program that allows a ZX-81 with ZXPand or ZXPand+ interface to create a "project" of related files. It is a way of organizing files on the SD card, or emulator that supports the ZXPand. It is very similar, in some ways, to an old style MS-DOS frontend. See the enclosed...

Pseudo-hi-res programs also have a similar problem. Try loading the program with the /x...
