2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.
More Memory for Basic
Rainbow V01N02 Pag. 4
Normally ECB reserves 4 pages for graphics, for a total of 22824 Basic memory, If your program does not need graphics, you should be able to use PCLEAR 0, but this command fails due to an error in the ECB, to solve this we use POKE 25,6: NEW
With PCLEAR 1 the total is 27432 and With POKE 25,6:NEW (PCLEAR 0) the total memory is 31016
PRINT MEM<RETURN> ==> 22824
PCLEAR 1:PRINT MEM<RETURN> ==> 27432
POKE 25,6:NEW ' (PCLEAR 0)
PRINT MEM<RETURN> ==> 31016
You have to plan in advance. The Poke doesn't work if you leave off the :NEW, and, if you have a program resident in memory, the NEW will wipe.
One way to avoid this problem if you did not plan ahead would be to CSAVE the program, reset the memory and then CLOAD the Program back in.
