Apropos of nothing much, the BBC BASIC version 'strek' appears to work
fine in 'BBC BASIC for Windows' if you correct the typo in line 2660:
2660 SR$= CHR$&83+" -1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8-"
(There's a spurious plus sign in the published listing).

The plus sign immediately following the equals is nonsense, and isn't
valid syntax in BBC BASIC. The code only makes sense if you omit that
plus sign:
2660 SR$= CHR$&83+" -1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8-"

What do you mean "don't think so"? The listing clearly has a typo in
line 2660:
2660 SR$=+ CHR$&83+" -1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8-"

I thought it was the one after the 83 you were talking about.

If you find it, it will be totally different from what you attached, I
suppose, reading about all the 'improvements'.
Did you find it?
Bye, Katzy.
