XCARD .BIN 60
Please do 'sget xcard.bin'.
Xcard has been made in xbasic, I send it to you together with
an helpfile: bastek_1.bin. Helpfile must be loaded (get bastek_1)
and then a basic file can be executed, i.e. xbasic basgrf1.
All .bin files could be seen with the sget command (except bastek_1).
Please take care for the Mandelbrot program. Manbr.bas generates a
picture on the screen but this takes MANY HOURS (was it 16 or 32?, I
do not remember it so well). I have saved the picture in mandel.bin.
I have started too late on this diskette, so sorry for the texts
in flamish. I hope You can get the points.
