Interesting. I'm currently in the process of more or less doing the same for all of the programs in the PC-1500A Pocket Computer - Applications Manual book that I have. I've been saving all of the programs to tape and had planned on uploading the .WAV files somewhere. Github makes a lot of sense.

That would be very nice!

Instead of saving to tape and retrieving the WAV files as digital copies of noisy analog signals, it might be better to use PocketTools to create WAV files directly from the BASIC source files. If you don't have the BASIC source code on a Desktop PC, then you can load the BASIC source text converted from WAV files to a Desktop PC. Then generate high-quality WAV files.

Windows exe are included. To run on Linux and MacOS terminal, see my README notes on the 119 programs GitHub repo. Use --pc=1500 to create a WAV file for the PC-1500.
