As promised earlier, attached is a SSD file of a program that will display the Teletext pages held inside the BeebFAX SSD files downloadable from the Archive. The attached SSD contains the compiled indices for the BeebFAX discs, the display program and a ReadMe file.
To use this display program the following files will need to be in the same folder;
piFAXb - the display program
BFAX<yy>s
BFAX<yy>i
An ADFS floppy could manage up to 3 BFAX<yy>s files. An ADFS hard drive or a NFS folder can accommodate the whole collection.
The BeebFAX SSD files must be renamed as BFAX<yy>s to be usable by the display program. In this convention <yy> represents the two digit year (82, 83, 84, or 85).
The piFAXB program has been tested on an A5000 and a BBC Master. The program works under both ADFS and NFS.
On a Master *CONFIGURE NOSCROLL must be set. The program is second processor compatible and this considerably speed up the display.
The program will not work as yet on a BBC model B as it uses the TIME$ system variable.
