with this compressor
SAVE EXECUTABLE FILE with header save compressed file with decompression
routine which is 150 bytes of length. ORIGINAL FILE LOCATION

Known bugs:
- if you LOAD file from DISCiPLE drive 1 you can SAVE file on drive 2 without
results and vice-versa
- if you try to LOAD a filename from DISCiPLE disk which doesn't exist on it
you don't get an error report and a phantom file, length 16715 bytes, occupied
Spectrum memory

FC v3.0 Turbo Loader for ZX Spectrum 48/128K (1 KB)
is a turbo loader for loading turbo speed (1.5 times faster) games/utils blocks
- SCREEN$ up to 6912 bytes
- ORIGINAL FILE LOCATION => 24000
In original loader you must find X starting address, then load FC v3.0 Turbo

RANDOMIZE X : POKE 23952,PEEK 23670 : POKE 23953,PEEK 23671 (ENTER)
and save turbo loader with SAVE "name" LINE 0
after that load and start FC v3.0 nt, compress SCREEN$ (if exist) and save it

is, in fact, a little changed Mastercopy128 with added following options:
1 - loading files which are saved with normal speed
2 - loading files which are saved 1.5 times faster
(you can hear a sound when you press "1" or "2" on really ZX Spectrum 128 keyboard;
that's an indicator);
when you want to save headerless file 1.5 times faster then go to VIEW mode and set
a pause before save this file to 6-9 seconds
(1-5 seconds for normal speed)
