Basic Spectrum -> *.txt

From Sergej Kalchenko To All 9 September 1997

Greetings, dear Alexandr!

I read, look, see, and Alexandr Ognew, 22 Aug 97, writes to All:

I do this in two ways:
1. The zart converter scans $b files using F3, if you press
F2 while viewing, then what you need will happen!
2. The Lunter emulator allows you to redirect data output
to com, lpt, hdd, etc. etc. All that remains is to load your basic
files and issue the LLIST command.

ad 2. How to LLIST and LPRINT to a printer

As told above, you have to redirect the output of the Interface 1
RS232. In the emulator, press F4, O, L, 1. Like on the real spectrum
with Interface 1, if you want to print to the Interface 1 RS232, you
have to open the #3 channel. In Spectrum Basic, type: OPEN #3,"b" or
OPEN #3,"t" for basic listings (LLIST). (Press SHIFT-ALT-4 for
OPEN #)

In this way you can print anything as long as your spectrum program
supports printing to the Interface 1 RS232 and your model printer. For
example, it is perfecty possible toprint a textfile on your printer
with Tasword 3, or make a printout with Art Studio.
