As for Julian Rignall, I don't think it was his fault in the end, though apparently he could have handled the situation a little better and allowed the column to end in a proper fashion.
nah i meant, julian really is just an ass. not his having to do with the columns demise. there is something about his name and that i associate uk gaming mags and him.. shrugs nothing personal hehehe

I did get Fairytale from Keith, but as a real tape. I haven't got a clue as how to transfer it. But thanks for the reminder, I should probably investigate.
I suspect that any tape player will do and instead of "Goldwave" you could use "Audacity" http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ should you require a sound program.
Just remember to restrict the file name of the wave file to eight letters (plus .wav) because "WAV2CAS" is a DOS program and so cannot handle longer file names.
Thanks for the advice. Yes, it's a TRS-80 game.
Now I just need to locate someone with a tape deck. They seem to have fallen out of fashion during the last few years.
No Walkman or similar hiding at the back of a cupboard? After that, I suppose the most difficult thing would be finding a lead to connect the tape player to your computer.
I've used a really old walkman (used it all the way 'til 1999, when I got my discman) to transfer games from tape before.
The major problem is that you can get some constant noise on the line which you may have to remove (quite easy with audacity's noise removal stuff - just remember to leave some silence at the start to get the pattern).
I would offer to help transfer it; but I'm about 800 miles away
