Editor/Reseq & Renum

Published in Home Computing Weekly #62

The reason for reviewing these two programs together is that Reseq/Renum is simply a subset of Editor. These are Basic programming utilities and allow you to manipulate programs you have recorded on tape using the CSAVE command.

The 'Reseq' command allows you to move chunks of program to a new position, valuable if you like to develop programs in small chunks ready for final assembly. 'Renum' can renumber selected program lines.

The full editor has further commands, the most useful of which is 'Merge' which will add and sort another program to the one already in memory. The 'Delete' command allows block deletion and a line joining facility helps to save memory. There is a global search and replace facility called 'Find' and a 'Copy' facility to save retyping commonly used lines.

Its biggest failing is that you cannot run the program whilst editing it. You must first save to cassette and then reload to test your alterations.

I cannot really see why anyone would buy the subset tape unless they need the extra memory it leaves (just over 1K).
