"The earth is a libra"
quoting from memory. No points for identifying the source.

I had (in fact have) a ZX-80, am I now more or less lucky?

Another *really* impressive piece of software. It won't run on an XP
machine, of course.

For more irrelevant statistics. That one had 1K of memory, bought the
16K expansion a some years later.
I started programming at school on, IIRC, a TRS-80, no specs in my
memory. That must have been around '79. So, this years is my 30th
anniversary as a programmer (in the sense of someone who bugs and debugs
programs).

I downloaded and installed DOSBox. When I tried to run John Beale's
"Hl.exe" , DOSBox
wanted another file it couldn't. I didn't look for it. I spent way too
much time this looking for
files and libraries that something needs in order to run or compile!
Thanks, anyway, for
putting me on to it. :)

16K, or up to 64K (with some holes for video ram).

I do, but the plastic is a bit broken in places, but that shows it was
used. If you want a picture to prove it, you have to wait until I
reorganize my room, it is behind a door that I can only open when I
dismantle my desk (that I designed such that it is easy). I estimate
that that will happen before this thread evaporates.
