Keyboard auto-repeat for Dragon and Coco

Post by zephyr »

Here's a great little keyboard auto-repeat routine by Steve Woolham. He sent me this little gem via e-mail the other day and asked me to post it here after I had tested it. The routine works perfectly and its 100% compatible with both Dragon and CoCo machines. I have included a listing of the BASIC loader so that you can type it in directly if you prefer, but please read the included ReadMe file before running the program for the first time.

ENJOY! :)
