Written by Les Greenhalgh, this useful extension allows you access to the ST’s parallel port, the ability to create mega zones, and a host of other useful commands.

Feb 2025 Update:

After being lost for over 30 years, a registered version of the control extension 3.6 has been uncovered. This extension was primarily designed to allow STOS to create games using the larger screen sizes supported by the STE. Version 3.6 adds support for the bitter to many of the screen manipulation commands.

The download link has been updated to offer a fully registered v3.6b in both interpreter and compiler versions.

Neil Halliday

Neil started coding in STOS in 1989 just after it was released in the UK.

During those 31 years he has written numerous demo screens, routines, games and extensions, most of which are now lost due to a massive hard disk crash. What remains on floppy disk is still being discovered and posted on the STOS Coders website and stored in the cloud for everybody to enjoy (or laugh at).

Neil is the author of the GBP Extension which added some pretty cool commands to STOS, along with the "Development" extension that enabled enhanced STE functionality, including probably one of the simplest hardware scrolling routines around.

Along with Bruno Azzara, Geoff Harrison and Mike Halliday we had loads of fun back in the day trying to push STOS to it's limits. We are all now enjoying bringing our knowledge to a new generation of STOS Coders.
