How far can this go?

I take my hat off to Ben: he definitely won the latest podcast challenge by getting Linux 0.00 to run. In the comments I “joked” that I’ll find something even older — some code that Linus Torvalds wrote for his Sinclair QL back in the 1980s.

Of course, I was actually dead serious, so here we are readers:

This is GMOVE, a Sinclair QL BASIC extension (C) 1986 LBT (Linus B Torvalds) Soft. I got it running in a Sinclair QL emulator, after much fiddling about. It blits one area of the screen to another, as I’ve highlighted — pretty cool, huh? Your move, Ben.
