Published Information on the MTX Series
Code Snippets
This page contains snippets of Memotech program code
extracted from various period magazines.
This information comes from long defunct publications
and all of it is almost 30 years old. I don't imagine that the
original copyright holders, if they are still around, are
vaguely interested in these pages, but if anyone has issues with
me making this information available, let me know and I will
remove the offending item(s).
A word about quality : these extracts come from a
range of sources and while all are easily readable, some have
rather better quality than others. If you have better copies
than I have posted here, if you send me a copy, I will update the
site.
