At least I know now what extra stuff to get when purchasing a Master!
I expect that Acornsoft, Superior and Blue Ribbon adhered to Acorn programming
guidelines. You'll see that Chris Richardson also expects all submissions
to adhere to them guidelines too. Software houses are stupid not to do
so. Many of them were the ones who went bust in the early 90's because
no one liked the fact that no available software wouldn't run properly
on higher spec 8-bit machines. Then again that's one gut-feeling reason
among ten other factual reasons why the Acorn market went through a temporary
demise, relating to Acorn's marketing themselves. I really could go on
about how some lessons are still not being learnt but that's straying from
the subject a bit!
