BBC Micro Save N Load

This program set (of two) can read and write DATA stored in memory to a file stored on the BBC micro's disk filesystem.

The `.ssd` in the latest release contains both the Read and Write programs along with a test file, named TRIAL1.

Both Read and Write programs can also be found in the source.txt.

Information about and around this program can be found on the Wiki - https://github.com/d1ddle/BBCMicro-SaveNLoad/wiki

Both these programs have been improved upon from the demo in the "BASIC Programming on the BBC Micro" Book, published in 1985.

Unlike the program in the book, you don't need to pre-input the length of your DATA, as BBC Micro Save N Load uses an error handler to determine when the input Data has run out.

To use the technology in your own programs, change the filename at the top of both the read and write programs, and change/add DATA input/s in the write program.

I can see this file read/write system being used in gamesaves, document editors and so much more.

I'm aware that this kind of thing already exists, but I felt like separating it from a different program I'm working on, just for ease of use when using it in another.
