Hi,

I was wondering if any project has been setup to allow the Spectrum to view the text from webpages. I have looked briefly at Spectranet but I'm not 100% of its capabilities.

Thanks

Peter Jones

    I'm currently using it to speed the development cycle of some things I'm writting for the Spectrum that requires using the real machine:
    - I setup the Spectranet to autoboot from a boot.zx file at my PC's hard disk.
    - I write the software in my PC, assemble it and create a new version of boot.zx file
    - I reset the Spectrum so it automatically load the new version and test it.
    - Go to step 2 if any errors :)

    If you just want to view the text, you could probably write a rudimentary browser in ZX BASIC. (All you need to do is open a connection to port 80 on the target server, send the appropriate HTTP GET, and in the data you get back interpret the subset of tags you want to interpret and ignore the rest).
