Exactly, yes. Instead of typing it into a spectrum, I wrote it on the PC, and used ZX BASIC to make that .tzx file.

I believe the C compiler allows inline assembly, in an almost identical manner to Boriel's ZX Basic.
I hadn't seen SMAX. Wow.
I am firmly of the opinion that the speccy should be programmed in a variant of basic, though :-P
