CATALOGUE REVIEW Book reviews are quite common. I like to be a bit different, now and then, so I decided to review a catalogue that arrived in my morning mail.

| Simulating DATA, READ, and RESTORE Statements |
Most versions of BASIC have DATA, READ, and RESTORE statements. If these statements can be simulated for the Timex/Sinclair 1000/ZX81, one has a powerful addition to Sinclair BASIC.
