Fixes implemented in version 1.03

Just an update on a couple of fixes that I have implemented so far.

1) RDWORD buffer($1C0), temp
Using a hex value as an offset for RDWORD, RDLONG, WRWORD, WRLONG would cause an error.

2) name HUB STRING(10) = "Terry"
Giving a string an initial value didn't work. Now it does.

Big Trak toy

Last weekend we went to the 100 mile yardsale in PA.

I picked-up a big trak toy for $1.

I assumed it didn't work and I was prepared to take it apart to put a propeller in it.

To my surprise it DOES work.

Now I have to decided if I want to keep it or hack it ??? Decisions decisions...
