Subject: Dabs Press software



>> Hi Robert,
>>
>> I have 2 disks from DABS PRESS which I would love to see added to your
>> website and emulated in Beebem.
>>
>> Any idea why none of the DABS PRESS software is available on The BBC Lives
>> or any other BBC site (as far as I know)? Probably because they don't do
>> games?!
>>
>> Anyway I have the following:
>> FingerPrint by David Spencer - this is a collection of useful routines for
>> use in analysing / testing your machine code routines. It includes a

machine

>> Code monitor (steps through code line by line, showing the 6502 flags and
>> register details at every line), a disassembler and a memory contents
>> editor. It works on all BBC machines! Very useful, I'd love to see if

Beebem

>> can run it correctly 
>>
>> Conversion Kit by Bruce Smith - this disk is a collection of machine code
>> routines that do lots of useful stuff like decimal to binary conversion,
>> ASCII to number conversion, integer to real conversion, Bubble sorting,
>> saving screen image to disk,  Multiplication, addition, compacting a BASIC
>> program, Search/Replace within a BASIC program, etc...
>>
>> I can scan in the manuals for these two disks, but I am unable to transfer
>> the discs from 5.25 inch BBC format to PC-format. If I sent you the disks
>> (or copies of them), would you be able to transfer them for me and include
>> them on your site?
>>
>> Also, I'm looking for the following title from DABS PRESS: "Floating Point
>> Assembler: A Dabhand Guide by David Spencer", was this ever produced? Are
>> there any disk images or manual scans?
>>
>> Thanks,
>> Steve.
