#Sinclair basic free

I believe that 48K BASIC is free from the described limitation and the line editor of 48K BASIC can only run into trouble saving your line if you run out of available RAM, which in 48K configuration can happen as your line length exceeds something like 20K of characters. NO is also a correct answer, because the actual storage format of ZX BASIC allows lines with lengths up to almost 64K, which in any case cannot be inputted directly from BASIC. So, 128K BASIC editor is basically inadequate. The Sinclair BASIC interpreter was made by Nine Tiles Networks Ltd. To make things properly interesting, I tried adding a space after the fullstop, just before the first word TEST at the end and pressed the return key to obtain Sinclair BASIC (taking its name from innovator Sir Clive Sinclair) is a dialect of the BASIC programming language used in the 8-bit home computers from Sinclair Research and Timex Sinclair.I tried to edit the line again, and then it becomes clear that things are not all rosy:.I tried to press the return key, to see what gets saved (and frankly it looks fine at this stage!): This report describes an adaptation of the BASIC dialect used by the Sinclair ZX81 computer.I created a line that contains 21 rows:.Just to illustrate this point, I quickly did the following steps: There is no warning when the 20 row limit is exceeded. Books from British publishers and magazines were available to some Americans, either on the newsstand or through mail order. Initial support from magazines and publishers was poor because the ZX80 and ZX81 computers were not taken seriously. Editing such a line causes it to be truncated to 20 rows. American Sinclair users were in a unique position not shared with their British counterparts. Typed lines greater than 20 rows get inserted into the BASIC program, but only the first 20 rows are shown on screen. It is limited to 20 indented rows, which is the size of the editing buffers. There is a practical limitation on the size of lines that can be entered.

Let me quote a comment from there, given under the heading '128 BASIC Mode Limitations': the 16K ZX81 Mike Costello Beginning BASIC Peter Gosling Continuing BASIC. You can confirm this by reading the ZX ROM Disassembly which can be found here (note that you will need to be reading disassembly for ROM 0). Jones Advanced Graphics with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. YES, if you are editing a long line in the editor of 128K BASIC, you are limited to the size of line buffer, which can hold only 20 screen rows.

The correct answer to your question is YES, and NO.
