Spectrum v2.2 was the one that I helped beta test while I was beta
testing Marinetti v2.0 and GSoft BASIC v1.0 (and even for a very short
while NiftySpell v1.0 but my name fell off the e-mail list and I was
so busy with the other products that I didn't notice until it was too
late to really help :-).

I'm not sure about Spectrum v2.0 but v2.1 supported Marinetti v1.0
using the TopCat XCMD.  The way you write programs with Marinetti
changed drastically from v1.0 to v2.0 so the latter doesn't work with
the TopCat XCMD.  However, Spectrum v2.2 and on support Marinetti v2.0
and up without needing an XCMD.

I was wondering about that.  I took a look at your web site and the
only version number I could find was v1.1.  I've updated my list.

One of these days I'll scrape together enough to finally update my
version of Spectrum and get SAM and finally get a chance to use SOAR.
I'm not sure if SAFE requires a version of Spectrum greater than v2.3
or not so I haven't even tried it yet.

Speaking of requirements, I suppose I could add those to the list as
well so that people will know for sure which programs are scripts that
require Spectrum.  I may have to put that list on a web site sometime
too.  My todo list just keeps getting bigger.  :-)
