This FAQ last updated on 6 January 2000 - What's new?

There were previously Irish and Norwegian mirrors of this FAQ, but I can't contact the maintainers of those sites at present, so the mirrors are getting on for a year out of date. Using a different mirror is highly recommended.
Alternatively, you may prefer to download a zipped copy for offline reading, which is available from the Dutch mirror, either as HTML or text. There are also various mirrors of this FTP site available: see the Essential Sites section for details; the FAQ should be in the 'specfaq' directory.
Copyright: this FAQ is © 1995-1999 Damien Burke and Philip Kendall. Permission to it with emulators is hereby granted, as long as it is not modified in any manner. If you wish to display this FAQ (in full) on your own web site (or other media, including CDs), apply to me to become a mirror site. If you wish to display only portions of this FAQ on your own web site (or other media), you may not do so without my specific permission (and that will only be granted in special circumstances). Sorry to sound so officious, but there have been a number of uncredited rip-offs of parts of the FAQ and I'm sick of it. This FAQ may not be reproduced on CDs without my permission. Permission is already granted for the CDs explicitly mentioned in the second paragraph of question 4 of the FAQ and "Spectrum: A Decade of Sinclair Software" by Justin Wilkins; Permission was previously granted for the FAQ to be included on "The Encyclopedia of Spectrum Games - 98" CD from Cameron Lister, intended to be published by Epic Marketing. However, this project would appear to have collapsed and therefore permission is withdrawn. Should Epic Marketing publish any product that includes this FAQ in whole or in part, in any form, they will be in violation of copyright.
