CPC6128 BASIC Program Switcher

[Green Steve]

Hi All,

On the CPC 6128 I remember using a utility which could be background loaded like an RSX and then allowed you to load a program, use a special key combination and load another program. You could then use the special key combination to switch between them even with the two programs running. I have the feeling it only worked with Basic programs and it would have been on an Amstrad Action cover tape as I got most of my utility software that way.

If anyone knows it's name or where I can get it my current obsession with it may be quenched. Thanks.

That sounds like "Flik".

There's a YouTube demo of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

There, no more need to be jealous of those fancy Windows users with
their Alt-Tab :-)

HTH,

Wow, I was not expecting anyone to have heard of this. Thank you, I hadn't thought about this util for 30 years and it just popped into my head!
I remember jokingly telling my Amiga friends that the CPC had very slow multitasking back then. :D

Thanks for the links, very much appreciated.
