Thanks for scanning and posting the files. I have started going over them and see that some of the listings have errors in them. I'm assuming that the tape may have been bad at some locations. For example, the program listings for most of the programs in the games II pack have funny characters in the listings.

I plan to try to load the programs and see which run and which still have problems.

Maybe there are other people here that have correct listings. With the program listing corrected, it is easy to use the pocket tools to recreate valid wav files.

But I really appreciate you taking the time to try reading the tapes. And really appreciate the PDF's of the manuals.

Huh, interesting! I hadn't noticed any when giving them a quick once over, and Pocket Tools didn't report any errors. Could you point me to an example? (If it's the € that you're referring to, I believe that's what Pocket Tools uses to represent the special exponent 'E' symbol. Also, I think Π is pi. EDIT: Yes, I just loaded BANDIT into my PC-3 to confirm, and this is correct.)

Also, thanks for reminding me to get off my butt and finish scanning the manuals...
