With MSX-BASIC, you can do so many things ! Time to discover again the listings published in the Dutch magazine MSX Club Magazine … Here’s Time, created in 1985 by Ph. Hoebeke and published in number 2 … A triple tool : clock (with 2 optional alarms), stopwatch (with 4 laptimes) and countdown.

The tool is provided in DSK version, with the source code. I’ve improved the original listing to get a better display of the data.

With MSX-BASIC, you can do so many things ! Time to discover again the listings published in the Dutch magazine MSX Club Magazine … Here’s BWP, created in 1985 by Corneel De Bont and published in number 2 … A mini-word processor !

The tool is provided in DSK version, with the source code and the explanations. I’ve corrected and adapted the original version, that was conceived for tape recorder. Attention ! You need first to initialize the pages, otherwise you will land in the hidden spaces of screen 0 !
