The same James from the LUG?

Yes, I did.  I even created a complete teletext font to go with it.

In the dim and distant past, one of my staff wrote a Spectrum emulator
(what was originally xzx and has subsequently become a payware product
in someone else's hands).  I decided that if he could do it for the
Spectrum, I could do it for the BBC Micro.  So I did.  It's been years
since I touched it and I imagine it probably won't work on a modern
Linux machine (though it certainly did used to).  One day when I have
nothing better to do with my time I shall dust it off and get it working
again.
