No need to thanks, I am using it because it is amazing for me in the way it works, for sure. But it's good to know it is being rewritten, if it is for better.

Thanks.
Probably you know the WOS Type-In Archive. It is located at "
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/type-ins/" but unlike other sections of WOS it is working and it lists many programs written in BASIC published in magazines of that time, with the option of downloading the tape images with these programs already typed.
With sites like "
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~jg...s/typehome.htm" and the other that I mentioned before, I asked for myself, why nobody have the initiative of cataloging all the programs written in BASIC in the same way that TOSEC does for cataloging executable programs and disk images, and let for other people download them as they wish?
The BASIC language being the programming language most widely used in the world in that time, was very rich in open source software, on a time which that concept was very vague or inexistant, but without the quick preservation of that source code today, the historic work of thousands of people around the world are doomed to oblivion!
Thanks for all the tips, everyone. Please post any other links which you find, too.
