Philip M. Scull in the UK send me a link to add to my Exidy
Sorcerer pages for a Sorcerer emulator he was working on in Java.
It was pretty neat. Thought I'd pass it along to everyone here. URL
is:
http://www.liaquay.demon.co.uk/Sorcerer
Comes up in BASIC and of course I/O is limited at the moment but
he's still working on it. It runs as an applet in a Java-enabled
browser.

I couldn't find an obvious email address for him (stripping off
"/Sorcerer" takes you to *someone's* home page, but it doesn't
mention Sorcerer, so I'm not sure it's Philip.
On my PC (win 98), with Netscape 4.7, the majority of the
special characters don't work (i.e., they appear blank and
don't move the cursor when hit...like double-quote (")).
Some work, but differently. (Shift 2 (or was it shift-3?)
got me a double quote (instead of the "@" (or #)). Also,
backspace doesn't seem to work.
I'd like to provide him with encouraging feedback.
thanks,

Many micro's of that time had the " as shift-2, but I wish I had a
Sorcerer to confirm it followed the style of the Commodore etc. My
problem was that I could not find a key to give the = sign - it should
be two over to the right of the "0" I think, but that key is dead. Other
keys follow the Atari/CBM etc layout and CTRL-H works for backspace.
However simple BASIC statements (that did not use "=") ran fine. Not a
bad achievement for a Java program that loads in less than a minute.
