Re: Drop the PRINT instruction on ZX80

From what I remember seeing SHREB doing, it's usually formulated like: IF USR MC-ADDR THEN REM <stuff to parse or execute by MC routine> My guess is that the MC function then returns 0, meaning the THEN part never gets executed (which in this case it wouldn't, being a REM , but other tokens could be...

Re: Drop the PRINT instruction on ZX80

The command PRINT USR(30000) will come back with 30000. But I want to surpress the printing. How can I drop the PRINT instruction from the stack? Is there good textbook for MC programming on ZX80?

macOS Quicklook plugin for ZX81 files

A while back I mentioned I was working on a Quicklook generator for ZX files; I've finally gotten around to finishing and releasing it. :D

You'll find it here on GitHub: https://github.com/sebastienboisvert/ZX81QuickLook.

Enjoy!
