Comal Z For Memotech MTX 512?

Post by Crazyboss »

Hi Guys.

Just did a search for Memotech articles in a Danish library, and found out there was a Comal Z programming language.

It seems like the Comal Language itself was invented in Denmark:

A Danish software magazine had a review (in Danish) here:

Some Commodore 64 PDF with some sample code:

By the way I know in the 80s all schools had Commodore 64s fitted with Comal 80 Rom-Cartridges, I assume they didi that, cause of the really bad Commodore 64 Basic.

I think it can be quite hard to find that Comal Z tape for the Memotech ?

There's always the alternative of BBC basic if you have access to CPM.

Sorry to dig a thread up from the dead Claus, but wasn't the abundance of Comal 80 due to it being homegrown, i.e. locally designed/invented in Denmark?
