I notice that the excecution speed is basically the same as that of a real Dragon. Did I expect toooooo much by hoping that the execution speed would be that of a modern comput...

Re: Difficulty with UPLOADING SECTION - please confirm

Re: Please don't shoot me for asking this age old question

1. I am using a real Dragon 32K. 2. I am saving (CSAVE) my Basic programs to tape the same way as 30 years ago. When loading from tape, I use CLOAD. Loading programs from tape that were saved directly from the Dragon have never been a problem. 3. I am saving normally. 4. My Sansui tapeplayer does ha...

Re: SIN / COS in Sprint Compiler – could this perhaps work?

Hi Sarah, Sorry, I forgot to mention - the user needs to input the ANGLE (0-90) and the SPEED (2-100). This is meant to give a wide variety of canon ball trajectories, and off course I would like to have a smooth ball flying through the air - that why the TIME variable T increments by 0.1 ..... so I...
