MANUAL FOR OSTYPE (6502 Machine code)

This file describes the program OSTYPE which reports to an application program
a false os version number.Applications may use OSByte 0 (read major OS 
version) or the equivalent OSByte to INKEY(-256) which returns the machine ID.
For use on 8 bit BBC series of microcomputer,this particular version is 
assembled to return INKEY(-256)=253 and *FX0=3,ie.it alleges to be a Master 
128.
The manual and software is (C)1997 SPROW

INSTRUCTIONS-
At any command line prompt,eg.the BASIC command prompt '>' type *OSTYPE

The program will then install itself into page &C00 (the CHR$ defn buffer on 
the BBC and Electron,or Econet workspace on the Master) where it will 
translate all future *FX0 commands and INKEY commands returning the appropriate
value.Pressing BREAK will stop the program intercepting OSBytes.

Custom versions are available by contacting me.

KNOWN PROBLEMS/FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS-
No known problems
Repointing of the 'reset' vector,to allow the pressing of BREAK,as for example
may be performed when pressing BREAK-SHIFT to boot a disk.
