This program creates a file of the cassette's contents and

should normally be saved at the beginning of side 1. It may

be used for either the 16K or 48K Spectrum. [When it is]

run, you will be asked to enter the Tape Title after which

the menu is given providing options to:

1. Print Contents of data memory.

2. LPrint Contents of data memory.

3. Enter new data into memory.

4. Change existing data memory.

5. Save program and data memory.

6. Stop program.

  After the program has been saved, any future load will

result in it auto-starting at option 1.

  When entering data there is no need to enter the data in

order as the program contains a Sort subroutine - lines 900

to 930 - which will sort into order of, first, side and

then tape counter.

  The data memory has been dimensioned as 18 because this

fills one screen without being asked "scroll?" and this is

usually sufficient for most computer tapes. However, if

additional data memory is required then alter the value of

"y" in line 10.

  If you break the program for any reason do not type RUN

as this will clear all variables/strings. Restart by

entering

        GO TO 40

However, once the program has been used it may be reused on

another tape by breaking the program - option 6 - then

press RUN to clear the memory for new data.
