Running SpecBAS for Raspberry Pi
You must be running a linux distro with hard floating point support. Such as the Raspbian Wheezy distribution that Raspberry recommends.
Type "wget http://freestuff.grok.co.uk/specbas-pi.deb" to fetch the debian package to your home directory.
Then type "sudo dpkg -i specbas-pi.deb" to install it.
Upon first execution, SpecBAS will create its working directory; /home/username/specbas (if this folder doesn't already exist). A number of useful files and folders will also be set up within this directory (containing fonts, demo programs, and a copy of the SpecBAS Reference Manual). This folder is effectively the root folder for SpecBAS/SpecOS, where SpecBAS will load files from, and save files to. SpecBAS is unaware of any files located outside of this folder.
