1. 80 Column BASIC for TS2068

Hi all,
I've just uploaded BASIC80.zip to the files area of the group which is a replacement ROM/cartridge for the Timex series that gives a hi-res 80 column version of the original ZX Spectrum version of the BASIC with a couple of omissions.
His release comments were:
> This is a modified version of the standard ROM. The drawing commands don't do anything, there's no ZX Printer support, there's only about 34K of free RAM for your programs.
>
> However, it provides a hi-res 80x24 text mode. It is fully integrated with the ROM and you can do almost anything you could in 32x24 mode (OVER, INVERSE, UDGs, block graphics, embedded control codes, etc).
>
> Use the ROM file as an IF2 cartridge with a TC2048 or Spectrum SE, or use the DCK file as a cartridge with a TS2068/TC2068/UK2086.
I hope someone finds it interesting or useful!
Thanks,
Fred
