An introductory collection of programs for the Colour Maximite 2 in the vein of the Sinclair Spectrum "Horizons" tape, BBC Micro "Welcome" tape/disk and Apple II.
Created as a collaborative effort by the denziens of "The Back Shed" and curated by Tom Williams "thwill".

A simplish(?) text based eBook reader with 59 books from Gutenberg' library. Works well in most/all resolution/font combinations. Colour schemes selectable, book width on screen selectable, read place saved, read one page at a time or flip through book. Percent of book displayed as is save position.

V.95 resolves some bugs due to the way the MODE command works with fonts and clearing of screen. Easier editing for menu and reading mode/font. Colour schemes are now an .inc file for easier editing. Book files remain the same - instructions/license file updated (gutenberg.txt).

Short program to load/display jokes to help through these social isolation times. A little laughter helps, and just putting joke file together has helped with my sanity. Currently there are 948 jokes included. Full instructions are in the archive.
