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.

Despite what it says in some parts of the Color Computer Disc manual, the SAVEM command which is used to save machine language program. will NOT work if you use hexadecimal numbers.
Tandy's ·Color Computer Disc System' manual, on page 61, says that, just as in the tape versions, you must specify starting, ending and execute addresses in order to save machine language programs. It then adds: "Use the hexadecimal numbers for all these addresses."
Don't do it that way. It just won't work. Nor will it work if you use the "&H" prefix to decimal numbers, either. Just use the addresses in plain old, ordinary, run-of-the-mill decimal numbers (base 10 for the technically-minded).
This tidbit should save you quite of a bit of time and a lot of frustration.
