Added RESTORE LOCAL to BBC BASIC (Z80)

Post by Richard Russell »

I've managed to squeeze RESTORE LOCAL into BBC BASIC (Z80) v5 without breaking the 16 Kbytes code budget (strictly, 15.5 Kbytes once the low memory and CP/M patch areas from 0000H to 01FFH are excluded). I'm pleased to have achieved this since it fits in nicely alongside RESTORE DATA and RESTORE ERROR which, as standard BASIC V features, are also new to v5.

The generic CP/M and Acorn Z80 2nd Processor editions of BBC BASIC (Z80) v5 can be downloaded, as usual, in BBCZ80V5.zip. Note that the reported version number has not been changed from 5.00, I probably won't start incrementing it until the Agon Light edition is no longer classed a 'Release Candidate'.

Not that it's a version I have a use for, but as usual amazing work from the Master!
Started using BASIC circa 1981 with CP/M, Video Genie, Sinclair ZX81, Acorn Atom, and progressed with ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro and Sinclair QL, Cambridge Z88, DOS, Windows. Wrote A-level project using school's BBC Micro with dual 800K floppy drive.
