Hello, and thanks, but...


I'd be very interested to try this, but I guess the prog is for the CPC, and I've tried to do something with PCW and no-go.


Any chance of getting an ASC version, as opposed to the encoded BASIC, which seems to contain at least one 'direct' command.


I'll soon convert it for PCW Basic.

Just use WinApe as I did with the other adv. game.

You only have to write:

save "adv.bas",a

to save the code in ascii.

Then drag & drop the file and you got it.

[attach=2]
And you could load it into winape, open "ASSEMBLER", use "FILE" - "READ BASIC" and you have it in editor, can re-code it and save it as normal txt file to PC :)

Another way is to setup WinApes Printer to print into a file and then in Basic  "width 255" and "list #8"
