My surname is Russell, with two Ls; it is one of the top 100 most common surnames in several countries, including the UK and the US. The spelling you have used, which is occasionally encountered as a first (given) name, is virtually unknown as a surname.

I don't think that's a good reason to spell somebody's name incorrectly!

Incidentally it is claimed at that forum that BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0 is limited to accessing 256 Mbytes of memory. That's not correct; it is the maximum size of heap but you can create arrays that are much bigger (multi-Gigabytes) if you use the code here.

The name of that forum is Basic4All. 'Basic For All' means that all BASIC languages can be discussed in that forum? Very meaningful! I suggest that you clarify(256 Mbytes) in that forum. Moreover, that forum may also be a suitable place for promotion of BBCSDL. (Can enlarge the user base of BBCSDL.)

OK, I have done that.
