Hello,

xAce now supports multi-part tapes, so if you want to attach a multi-part tape such as Othello:
    http://jupiter-ace.co.uk/sw_othello.html

You just press F3 from within xAce, enter the name of the .TAP file and from then on you can load othello and get its pieces,
there is more information in the README.

The commit is at:
    https://github.com/LawrenceWoodman/xAce/commit/c8bbac4d38165ab374acc4b706e04fd28416949b

And you can try it out by downloading from the usual place:
https://github.com/LawrenceWoodman/xAce/downloads

I have yet to implement the rewind and forward functionality of the tape, but it is next on my agenda.

There is also a problem with the 'load' operation, when search for a file that doesn't exist, if the end of tape is
reached the tape will loop back to the beginning.  This was done on purpose as a lesser evil until there is a better
reporting mechanism.

i Hope that this commit is useful, let me know if you find any problems.

bfn
