===============================================================================
THE PRESENT
===========

This is the first release of the TK-PACK (file TKPAK001.ZIP), my ZX81 package
containing programs developed in Brazil for the ZX81 machines and the brazilian
clones (the "TKs"). It contains the Modules Manager System "MICRO BUG" (the
program, listing and documentation) and the first preliminar release of my own
Operating Module "EXTRA".

I am planning to convert and distribute all of my brazilian utilities (like the
famous FORTH compiler) and games (specially "Em Busca dos Tesouros"), but I am
having problems to convert them from the original tapes using ZX81TAP.SNA using
the ZX-Spectrum emulator "Z80" and my old ZX81 clone is now in that big trash
box in the sky. If you know about another (reliable) way to read ZX81 tapes
into a PC machine, please contact me at "einar@ime.usp.br".

I hope you like this Xmas gift. Merry Christmas!



===============================================================================

==========

Planned for next release:
