Bugs
Several of the listings published in this issue are bugged.
Space Tunnel contains a bug; two NEXT statements are duplicated, resulting in an "Unexpected NEXT" error.
Extended Catalogue contains a bug; the program does not display the execution address of binary files, although it tries to display an execution address for ASCII files instead, which does not make sense.
The "Easier to control" listing contains a minor bug; the program is supposed to redefine the f1 and f2 keys, but it redefines the f3 and f4 keys instead.
Double-Width Characters is set up to work on CPC664 and CPC6128 machines. The author provided a modification for CPC464 machines, but it does not work.
