next-bbc-basic's Issues

SPTONULL and SKIPNOTSP seem to be missing

SPTONULL and SKIPNOTSP seem to be missing from the downloaded source.
Referenced in Patch.z80 but can't find them anywhere, I had to temp'y comment them out to get the source to build.

Feature Request to implement *SPOOL [OUTFILE.TXT] and *EXEC INFILE.TXT

As of V0.16 there is no support for *SPOOL [OUTFILE.TXT] and *EXEC INFILE.TXT which makes it difficult to get BBC BASIC source code in and out of the emulator from NextZXOS text files given that the .bbc binary format is different to Acorn BBC BASIC binary files.

Implementing *SPOOL [OUTFILE.TXT] would allow

*SPOOL OUTFILE.TXT
LIST
*SPOOL

to save a text file to NextZXOS

and *EXEC INFILE.TXT would allow a text file BASIC listing to be read into the emulator
