Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

Here's a type-in I did from Your Computer 8305. It's a nice Basic Listing program. It comes in very handy when comparing a printed listing from a magazine to what you've typed in, to see if they match. The only problem is line numbers for 0 to 999 aren't padded with spaces, so there's not an exact match until line number 1000 and up is reached. Maybe someone can fix that, I've looked into it but don't see any easy solution.

This is a very nifty little routine, actually! I'm impressed.

As for your leading-space problem, it's actually very easily solved:

POKE 16528,229
POKE 16529,205
POKE 16530,165
POKE 16531,10
POKE 16532,225
POKE 16533,35

Entering these before using it for the first time, you'll now find the line numbers indented perfectly with leading spaces.

Thanks for the fix poglad. I knew there had to be something in the ROM to do that!

I'm uploading a copy of the fixed version, I've also added a "Relocator" with it, which should've been included in the original listing.

I know this thread is a decade old, but I found it interesting and also found issues with the tool. I've attached an update that allows the display of lines greater than 255 bytes, isn't fooled by 7Eh's in REM statements, and works in either fast or slow mode.
I've also included the source.

A few final tweaks before moving on to something else.
The project is also available on GitHub.
