       | How come the code listings seem to have removed spaces between

       | like:
       | 
       | > 50 IFHF<0THENEND
       | 
       | Which clearly, from context, are supposed to be:
       | 
       | > 50 IF HF < 0 THEN END
       | 
       | Is this a typesetting error or did the original text do it that
       | way for some reason? Just to emphasize that BASIC's interpreter
       | didn't care?

       | Very impressive. What's the estimate cost of a print?

       | Incredible. Thanks so much for this. Just wondering, do you think
       | you'll do the schematic at some stage?
