[Z] Expert Plus on International Zoomer

In case anyone else using the XL-7000 (or equivalent) international
version of the Zoomer, you must change the following line in NET.INI:

[zoomer]
international = false (change to true)

Such a simple thing, but without the change, it prevents the
international version from getting past the Launcher setup. After the
third of fourth screen, an error dialog box comes up saying you must have
different seperator characters (yet it doesn't let you specify them). It
took me about an hour to figure out what was wrong!
Interestingly enough, on my XL-7000 if I set international to false, I
don't get to choose the language or keyboard layout, also other
customisation is reduced, one of them is format specifiers: ie, the comma
and dot in 1,000.00. or list seperator. The inability to change these
causes the error.

I just got a 2mb SRAM card from STG. Apart from sending it
sea-mail to Australia (3 Months!) when they quoted 10 days (!), it works
great and I'd recommend it to anyone. I've installed some of the SDK docs
on it, and managed to get GeoDraw working. So far, no luck with GeoWrite,
GeoFile or GeoCalc. Any hints anyone? ("Too much activity in progress.
UI-28").

I hope I save someone some time.

Keith.
