To make this as easy as |}|Gpossible for you, the printer configuration routine has been created as a series of menus where you choose your options wi }}}Gth simple keypresses. Once this configuration is done, you need not do it again unless you want to change the format of ~}~Cnthe output, or unless you exit the program. To reconfigure the printer, use option 3 from the main menu. t When choo }Gsing a printer from the printer menu, Selection E is for the printers listed and other Epson FX or MX compatables, Selecti }Gon A is for the Atari 1025, and Selection N is for all others. If in doubt, Selection N should work with any 80 column p }Grinter. If Selections E or A are chosen, you are given the choice of 2 or 3 column output printed at 6 or 8 lines/inch. }GSelection N automatically uses 2 columns at 6 lines/inch (Standard Pica). Selection E also gives the choice of draft or d }C]ouble strike print.

He wanted to be sure that I understood that I was giving up ALL the rig)K}KGhts to the program, and that Antic could subsequently do anything they wanted with it. Other than that, he didn't have any p)L}LCroblems with it. Now I'll add a few tips of my own, gathered from my own experience. Please remember that I have been )M}MGsuccessful in getting accepted only once, and my opinions and conclusions might be all wet. All I can say is that they make )N}NC sense to me. First of all, be prepared for rejection and don't take it personally. I submitted two other programs with )O}OGCustomer List Manager and two more since then. None were accepted. Two were probably too limited in their appeal, one of th)P}PGem used a programming technique that could easily crash the system if not used properly, and the other was probably judged no)Q}QGt useful enough to type in for its length. A rejection does not necessarily mean that your submission had no merit-it just m)R}RGeans that they can't use it right now. Don't expect any comments from the editor on the reasons for your rejection, much as )S}SGyou might like to have them. Maybe they already have a backlog of accepted programs a mile high. Maybe it closely resembles)T}TG another submission or a public domain program you are unaware of. Maybe it just doesn't fit their desired editorial directi)U}UGon. Maybe it needs a little more work-some error trapping or other refinements. Remember, there are only six Antics a year,)V}VG each one using from 5 to 7 or so programs. Also, much of the magazine market has disappeared, so most of the authors who we)W}WGre submitting to the other magazines are now submitting to Antic, meaning that the competition is tougher. Of course, this s)X}XC$ituation only sweetens the success.) All right, how about some positive advice! Error trapping is VERY important! A pro)Y}YGgram that crashes because someone inputs a letter instead of a number will not be accepted, no matter how useful it might be.)Z}ZG Try to anticipate any error that some idiot might make and compensate for it in your program. When you have that done, ant)[}[Gicipate all the errors that the same idiot couldn't possibly make but will anyway, and compensate for them, too. Never forge)\}\Gt Murphy's Law! Customer List Manager went through at least six major revisions and countless minor ones before the publishe)]}]Cd version was produced. Programs should be efficient and easy to run. Modular programming methods are best and spaghett)^}^Gi code is to be avoided at all costs. One of the purposes of these publications is to illustrate and promote good programmin)_}_Gg technique, so they aren't going to appreciate programs that don't use it. This is the easiest (and usually best) way to pr)`}`Cogram, anyway. Try to write your programs so that they will work with as wide a range of equipment as possible in your c)a}aGlass, be it 8-bit or ST. The more people that can use your program, no matter what system used, the better. It is indeed fo)b}bGrtunate that the Atari 8-bit Operating System has remained as compatable as it has over all models. The ST is probably the s)c}cCMame, although I can't say from personal experience. Use this compatability!R When writing the article, be as concise as )d}dGyou can while still getting in all the pertinent information. Articles that are overlong or obviously padded to increase the)e}eG length reduce the chances of being accepted. Spelling and grammar are also important. Watch those typos! The main strengt)f}fGh of a word processor is in its editing capabilities, so use them! If you don't have a word processor, there are two good on)g}gGes available for the 8-bit from the public domain-Speedscript and TextPro. There are no doubt some for the ST as well.
