The keyboard graphic responds to mouse clicks, touch events, and key presses.
Hold your shift key while clicking the PET keyboard to get the graphics
characters.
(The emulator simulates pressing the PET's left shift-key at the
same time as the clicked key.)
Changing the size of memory or changing the ROM version forces a reset of the PET.
The emulator has an IEEE-488 device at address 8. It can be used load and save (.prg) files.
Some programs don't run on ROM1 and some require more memory than the default 8K.
Game Notes
May include inaccurate AI generated content
MERGE is a BASIC programming utility that combines two smaller programs into one. Merge utilities were handy tools for BASIC programmers. If you were working on a program, and wanted to include some nifty subroutine that you'd already written—say, a cool title screen or a bullet-proof input routine—you would have needed a merge utility; BASIC didn't give you any way to LOAD subroutines and append them to your existing code in memory. (BASIC 4.0 did introduce an APPEND command, but its purpose was to add data to an existing file on disk.)
