EightOne TZX Load/Save Promlem

Post by ZX81Museum »

Hi, - Just started using EightyOne but don't seem to be able to load any saved program listings in TZX format. Using Windows XP and v1.0 of EightOne. Any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times before...

Forgot to mention - the problem is with loading a program that I have typed-in and saved previously... just get lines flying up the screen when it tries to load the TZX 'tape'.

Hi Zx81Museum,

In fact, there's a problem in you TZX concept !
;)
Typed-in ???
On Eo or on a text editor???
In case of a text editor :
A Tzx is a binary file, used to chain saveral "P" files.
It used as a byte steamer too...

EO can't load a Text (TXT or BAS) files !
You had to tokenised your text in a "P" file before.
The Zx81 don't use a legal Ascii table.

There's several ways to compil a text file in a "P" file...
-ZxBasic by XavSnap.(Win app.+ Basic2P ,Zx81 win fontes)
-ZXBASIC not by XavSnap.(WinXp app.)
-ZxToken by XavSnap.(Win app., P->text and text->P converter)
-Vb81 Xur by XavSnap.(Win app., Auto-launch...)
-Basic2P by Chrys Cowley.(Dos app.)
Don't know if the Chris's compiler routine will be add to EO !
Don't know if "ZXBASIC not by XavSnap" generate a P file or a Tzx file !

If you had to run the Xur, don't forget to copy Zx81's fonts (ttf and Fon extensions) to the "FONTS" in the main windows folder !
It used to edit all BAS or TXT files with the win Note-pad...
Have Fun!

Note: (french web page and web links)

In case of EO:
juste type SAVE"MYPROG" to save your tape in the TzxManager.
and, Save your "P" file or your "Tzx" file (the floppy in the Tzx tape Manager).
In case of saveral files in the TzxManager, you can't save a "P" file.
Juste delete all wrong files... to allow to save a "P" file.
