sounds great.. I think I´ve tried them but now its time again..
yeah!! :)

My Java toolkit SPECSAISIE has generic utilities for the

manipulation of SNA and TAP files, plus some specific MM/JSW
utilities (e.g. to detect the Block Graphics Bug, list instances of a
guardian-class, list guardian-classes which use a given sprite-page,
look up horizontal and vertical guardian-classes for a given range of
screen- positions, laterally invert a given MM/JSW game... most of
these will be released with SPECSAISIE 1.3 next year).

.. sounds really complicated but I will absolutely give it try when
you release SPECSAISIE 1.3 :)

Since I haven't yet written a MM/JSW tune-editor, I currently write
the tunes by hand. I work out the notes on a piano or keyboard
(sometimes I code up a prototype using 128 BASIC's PLAY command to
get the rhythm right), then look up the data for the 64 notes in
Richard Hallas's tone-chart, then POKE in these data using a simple
BASIC program.

I admire your way of putting things together.. :) but at the same
time I don´t understand everything you write here..hehe...
but hope I can learn some of it :)

BTW, I just listened to the "Mr Willy" MP3
[ http://www.jump.to/speccy ] for the first time, and it's

brilliant!

I love the way you've sampled the `glint' when Willy loses a life,
and other sound-effects, and the tune just rocks. If only it could

be released as a single, it would clean up the Christmas number-one

position, and no doubt would attract a whole new generation of
fans! :-)

ahhh.. thank you! :) haha.. yeah it should clean up the dancefloors ;P

It's just another Manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
[The Bangles, "Manic Monday"]

heh.. you love the song or just coz it have the magic "Manic" word in
it? ;)
