WHAT0} IS IT? By reading the directory of commercial disks it can be seen that in many cases the directory contains0} a header of some form giving some details like a title, version, date, etc. Such a header could be written to a0} newly formatted disk by using a disk sector editor but this can be confusing and time consuming, since it must a0}lways be remembered how a disk stores its data. BIRTH OF A SOLUTION! In order to overcome these problems 0}in a user friendly way, "The Disk Directory Header" was born. WHAT CAN IT DO? The Disk Directory Header can cre0}ate a header consisting of upto eight lines, completely filling the first directory sector if required where e0}ach line can consist of upto eleven characters, the normal file name length. NINE EXTRA HEADERS. The Disk 0} Directory Header provides nine standard headers which can be selected from the main menu as well as a way of c0}reating a custom designed header. THE SCREEN: The top section of the screen comprises of the title. The cent0}ral and the lower sections comprise the main working part of the screen. USING THE DISK DIRECTORY HEADER: When The 0}Disk Directory Header is first run, the centre section contains a menu and a prompt. To select one of the nine standar0}d headers, press the appropriate number key, the menu will be erased and the chosen header printed in its place 0}on the left side of the screen. If the chosen header requires a date then this will be requested before prompti0}ng for the formatting details. CHANGES ANYONE? As a part of the main menu, the bottom line of the screen conta0}ins a small two option menu, as a reminder, that at any time START can be used to cycle through the background colour0}s whilst SELECT is used to reset the colour back to blue. CUSTOM DESIGNED HEADERS? If a custom designed head0}er is selected from the menu, the menu is again erased and the necessary details printed to enable its construction. As0} each line is entered, it is printed to the screen and a menu is displayed on the bottom line. Select "N" to con0}tinue and enter the next line, "P" to exit early and to prepare the disk or ESCAPE to exit back to the menu. If and when0} an eighth line is entered, the 'N/P/ESCAPE' menu is bypassed and control is passed directly to the 'Prepare disk0}' section. PREPARE A DISK!! This section is entered after a header is completed and RETURN pressed, ESCAP0}E will exit back to the menu. 'Prepare disk' allows a disk to be first formatted in either single or enhanced density, E0}SCAPE again is used to exit. "S" is pressed to select single density or "E" is pressed for enhanced density. Aft0}er selecting, 'CAUTION' is displayed on screen requiring "Y" to be pressed to continue. Any other key wil0}l return back to the previous stage to select the format density. Upon pressing "Y", the disk which is currently0} in drive #1 is formatted and the header written into the directory. After this, the disks directory is read 0}and printed to the right hand side of the screen to confirm its presence. TO FINISH! Once the header has b0}een written and the directory displayed, the option to write the DOS.SYS file is given. Upon pressing "Y",0} the directory display on screen is erased and the DOS.SYS file written to the disk and locked. The disks director0}y is then once again read and displayed. ANOTHER DISK HEADER? Regardless whether or not the DOS.SYS0} file has been written to the disk, the option to prepare another disk with the same header is presented. P0}ressing "Y" will allow the format density for this disk to be selected. Any other key will exit back to the menu. MO0}DIFYING THE STANDARD HEADERS. Naturally the standard built-in headers will need to be amended to incorporate th0}e users name rather than my own name. The standard headers are stored at the end of the listing in the form of basic D0}ATA. When modifying the headers, the single line format must be maintained due to the way that the program selects 0} the various headers. Each set of header DATA terminates with the '@' character which is most probably th0}e least likely character required for a header. It can be used within a line of characters but must not be 0}used alone. The limitation of a maximum of eight lines where each line comprises of a maximum of eleven characters must0} also be maintained. The main menu should also be modified to reflect the changes made. DATE NEEDED? If a mo0}dified header needs a date, then its position must be considered so that the details can be printed within the 0} header on screen and for inclusion into the string for writing into the first directory sector of the disk. For 0}this reason it may prove more convenient to leave the date position where it is and to simply modify the header arou0}nd it. TECHNICAL DETAILS: A VBI routine is used to control the background colour cycling, to disable the at0}tract mode and to disable the CONTROL-1 stop-start toggle. It also provides an optional keyboard lock to ens0}ure that only the normal uppercase character set ascii codes can be used when selecting from the menus. This part 0}of the VBI cancels any accidental operation of the respective two keys. The keyboard lock is disabled when the 0} custom designed header is selected to enable the use of all characters. All text erasing is achieved by using a 0} machine code routine which defaults to erasing the lower section of the screen only, unless otherwise set up. 0} The cursor used within the data entry section is 'player zero', its colour is also controlled by the VBI according0} to the background colour. A small machine code routine is used to ensure that the player zero stripe is clear before t0}he cursor is defined. MACHINE CODING! A small machine code routine is used to access the internal routines enab0}ling data to be written to the disk. A custom display list enables the use of a mixed mode text screen. The a0}bove stated machine code routines are stored in the form of relocatable machine code strings. The display list i0}s also stored as a relocatable string. The strings being directly defined to eliminate initialising time 0} caused by the loading of data. =-=-=eing directly defined to eliminate initialising time 0: <=><*><=> BBS message # 30 from the NEW NEST -(516) 234-4943- Tile: Meetings Author: Frank Kuzl4}oski To: OHAUG Editor Posted March 1994 Hi ALEX I think the newsletter is great, and I look forward to getting 4}it.

Sound famP! *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* COMMENTS by OHAUG STAFF NEWSLETTER REVIEWER by Alan SharkU;}is OHAUG Newsletter Librarian I have noticed that there are a few newsletters that we get on excU<}hange that seldom have 8-bit articles. If those newsletters NEVER have 8-bit articles, it might be safe to assume tU=}hat there are no 8-bit members left in the clubs. But, if there are only occasional articles about 8-bits, it seU>}ems to me that the 8-bit community has to be reminded that they have to write to keep the community alive. WRITING U?}IS A PERMANENT RECORD! All writing is communication. Unlike a message on a BBS, however, an article in a user grU@}oup newsletter or commercial magazine is permanent. It can be retrieved many years later. Perhaps that's a mixed bag. UA} Sure, you want your ideas to endure. But, are they quite up to snuff? Have you expressed them in a way that won't UB}embarrass you? I maintain that those concerns can really be put aside. Here's how. Every user group I know of has pUC}eople who use computers and are somewhat expert in some areas of using computers. How many of them use computers UD}professionally? It varies from club to club, but probably never reaches 100%. Yet, these members are respecUE}ted for their areas of expertise. SPREAD THE WORD! If you know how to do something, the next very logical step is toUF} PASS IT ON to others, isn't that right? I'd even say it's an OBLIGATION. Writing an article is a way to do that on aUG} mass basis, but, oh, that reluctance to write! Well, every club also has members who can take ideas and put them UH}on paper in a way that guarantees that the ideas will spread to others in an effective, informative, eUI}ven entertaining way. WHO CAN HELP? So, I'm going to encourage newsletter editors all over the country tUJ}o help their members write! Our editor, ALEX PIGNATO, does just that! LIAUG's editor, HARVEY SHOEN, also does. EncUK}ouragement, by the way, doesn't only mean standing up at a meeting and asking for articles. It means that if you havUL}e a member with good ideas but few literary skills, that you take some time to polish their works INSTEAD UM} of rejecting them. It means calling people to clarify what they meant in paragraph two, or to ask them if the reUN}write you did doesn't play havoc with their original idea. Editors do not always have the expertise you may have that UO}you are writing about. It sounds like work, I know. But the work will help to guarantee the survival of our UP} 8-bit community. Editors are not the only ones with some responsibility in this area. For example, ALEX and I arUQ}e offering our help to those in OHAUG who would like to see their ideas in print, but need an experienced hand to hUR}elp them. And, for the "reluctant" writers out there, I can offer this advice: Don't be overwhelmed at the proUS}spect of giving your article to an editor! He's probably just as down- to-earth as you are. We have talented eUT}ditors in this 8 BIT community who are the most distant thing from intellectual snobbery you could imagine. ThUU}ink of it: of the two major commercial magazines (Ed. now two and soon to be one!) that deal with Atari 8-bit artUV}icles one editor is a Chemist (BEN POEHLAND at AC), one is in the military (RICK REASER at CN)-Club newsletter editoUW}rs are even more helpfull. What these people share is a love for the ATARI 8-BITs. They are only too happy to get UX} your article and help you spread your ideas in the most effective way. FINAL COMMENT! (Editor: Thanks AL, I coudn't hUY}ave said it any better, and I hope people heed your advice to help keep the 8 BIT alive and well! A.P.)

(See MAR/APR 1994 OHAUG Newsletter). Again in line with the idea of OHAUG spreading the 8 BIT wo>?}rd! Thanks RON! A letter from DANIEL CARRODANO our member in France. He mailed us his yearly dues in French c>@}urrency (This is O.K. as we found out we can convert it). He sends his best regards to all the OL' HACKERS. >A}A letter from NORMAN WILLIAMSON our member in England. He thanked ALEX for his letter and the disk we mailed to hi>B}m. He also mailed us postcards from London. He is at the moment putting programs on a disk for the 1020 and 1029 >C}printer which he collected from various sources over the years. He will mail it to us when it is finished. Another>D} letter from NORMAN on the 1st of March. He mailed us a print out of the menu of the new disk that he is workin>E}g on. It is with programs accompanied by music. Some examples. A calendar program accompanied by "AS TIME GO>F}ES BY"; a dice roll game accompanied by "YOU NEED HANDS"; fuel check for your car accompanied by "YOU NEVER WALK ALONE>G}" etc. He is working on many more of these programs. Sounds like a lot of work (accompanied by 16 TONS - grin - RON)>H} ALEX responded on Mar. 12. ALEX said that letters from England arrive faster then letters from local members>I}. We call it SNAIL MAIL (grin). ALEX complimented NORMAN on the new menu of the disk and on his ability to >J} create programs accompanied by music. A letter from JOE HICSWA our member from N.J. and JACG. He thanked >K}us for replacing a post office mangled disk. He mailed us an article for the newsletter for working with the 1st>L} XLent Work Processor. He tells us he has cabin fever with all the snow we are getting. (Us too!) A letter fro>M}m BILL SMINKEY our oldest (in age) member in California. He tells us that he was in the hospital for a heart atta>N}ck. It hit him at 4:00 in the morning and he was transported by an emergency unit to the hospital. He can now work t>O}he computer for short periods of time. ALEX replied and wished him a speedy recovery. He said we computer nerds >P} are a hardy bunch! All the OL' HACKERS send their best to BILL. BILL wrote us again and advised that he has to go>Q} into the hospital for prostate surgery in April. ALEX and all the OL' HACKERS wish him a speedy recovery. DEMOS:>R} ALEX showed the card game "SEVEN". It has some of the greatest card reproduced graphics andsound and is a ve>S}ry addictive game. Also on this disk is a game called NUCLEAR SIM, and docs. Its library disk #449. On side two >T}we have several games that are similar to "WHEEL OF FORTUNE". There are 3 versions of the game. The sound and th>U}e graphics are very good. We played one game and lost, of course. HAROLD PEGLER dmo'ed the program "SCREENS" It >V}was written in 1986. It is library #247. It has a 36 page doc manual that comes on the disk edy for printing. It is a g>W}reat program for showing graphics and also printing it. You can mix text and graphics. You can load different fonts,>X} you can superinpose one picture over another picture. It is a very complete and fully implemented program. It>Y} certainly belongs in everybody's library. We also saw a KOALA-PICS disks fully loaded. They are library di>Z}sk #327 to #345. These are NOT 62 sector pictures. Each disk has a program on it called "SEE-PIC" that lets you see each>[} picture on the disk. It is a graphics file utility. You can also print the pictures as hard copies in gray scale o>\}n the printer with the program. You have a lot of flexability with this program allowing you to >]} manipulate the pictures. It can print in GR. MODE 7,8 and 9. We also have a program in the library called ">^}KOALA SLIDE SHOW" The library number is not known by me. Write to HAROLD if you are interested. It lets y>_}ou load the pictures into the RAM disk for quick display. This is only for display. This was another great demo b>`}y our librarian HAROLD PEGLER. Next we saw and heard digitized music. On side two was the ATOMIT game. It is a >a}game where you have to match up atoms so they interlock - very tricky. We saw the GERMAN SOUND MACHINE. It is >b} library #451. You can write edit and play songs. On side two is the AUTOPLAYER for the songs. There are also songs >c}on the disk. This is for the budding "MOZART'S" among you. Next we saw the FUTURA DISK #11. Jan/Feb 1994. I>d}t is library disk #452. On side one there is a lot of Text and documentation and a terrific program called ">e}DISK UTILITY BASIC" also completely documented. Then we saw SLCC DISK #1203. It is our library disk #453. It has >f}a text game called "ADVENTURE.BAS" and docs. Also a GEM interface. DRAGON.BAS an adventure puzzle for use >g}with a joystick. Next we saw the game CGM. It also has docs. It consists of several files on the disk. It >h}is a GR. 0 interface manager. It creates different windows with USR commands. Side two is a DEMO (with a little paprik>i}a, (grin) from Hungary called "VERONIKA" - quite impressive what my "lansmen" are doing. It is a whole side>j} in 1050 density. The sound and the graphics are outstanding. A whole side of DEMOS. We saw a PAGE 6 disk wit>k}h 2 or 3 PINBALL games and demos. It is library #72-6. It also had some music on it. On side two is WORD SEARCH>l} SOLVER. You can O.D. on puzzles with this disk. It finds the words in the puzzles. You now can get a disk to create>m} the word search puzzles and a disk to solve the word search puzzles. You now have nothing to do anymore. The c>n}omputer will do it all. My computer is already addicted to this and has a crosshatch pattern etched in the screen (>o}grin). (Editor: Oh yeah? Well my computer is so smart that when it makes a mistake it blames it on another computer! >p}(grin) We saw FUN DOS made by our own JOHN HARDIE of OHAUG. When you run the DOS and you will see some pretty >q}amusing situations develop. This is a good disk to get to start a meeting. This is our library disk #454. Next we sa>r}w ABBUC DISK #35 from Germany. Another fantastic disk but you must read German - ja, Verstehs du das? Many of the pro>s}grams overscan on the monitor because of the PAL system in use in Europe. Library #456. RON (yours truely) >t}did a demo on BASIC VIEW. This program only works with ATARI BASIC. If you program with ATARI BASIC this is a great pr>u}ogram for you to get. It is a programming utility. It requires a joystick to operate. You load it with DOS OPTION L>v} -->LDVIEW. Afterwards you are in BASIC and load the program that you are working on in the normal way. Then you >w}type in "VIEW" and the BASIC VIEW will list the program in its window. You can scroll forward and backwards, you ca>x}n examine all the variables you can insert new values for the variables. You can see the program executing line b>y}y line as it is executing by pressing "OPTION". This is a toggle and you can go back and forth. You can examine me>z}mory locations. It is a very complete debugging utility that does almost everything you need to correct your pr>{}ogram. It is especially good for beginning and intermediate programmers. It is fully documented. It is libr>|}ary disk #457. We saw TextPro VERSION 4.54. This is the latest fully implemented version. Version 5.0 is a Beta>}} test version only and has no full docs with it. TP4.54 has a quick keystroke menu on it that is very helpful. It >~}lets you get started very quickly without reading a bible full of docs. On side two are the docs and a couple of game>}s and also some graphic pictures. Library #458. Next we saw a DOS 2.0 which loads as a DOUBLE DENSITY D>}ISK!!!. Library # 459. It is called ATARI DOUBLE DOS 2A-M. Plus. On this disk there are a whole lot of utilities,>} over 30 I think. With this DOS you also get a 255 Sector RAM disk on a 130XE. DAS IST ALLES!!!
