(Ed. It is a program worthy of a second printing! A.P.) WHU|}|AT FRUSTRATION CAN DO TO YOU! This program is a result of becoming frustrated while printing pictures from the KoalaU}} Pad system. The program is written in Atari basic with many machine language subroutines. Some of the ML routines areU~} my own and some of them came from other authors. At the moment I can't remember the sources. If you see some of your U}code in here, Thanks. The program supports several printers, at least Epson, Gemini, NEC, and Prowriter. To modify U} it for a different printer is very simple. You can add the printer name to the list around line 100, add the first leU}tter to the check in the same area. The lines between 800 and 900 are where the printer is set up. Add anotherU} 'IF' statement with the proper graphics control characters to set up your printer. OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM U} The program will ask you for the 'picture disk', picture files must end with the '.PIC' extender. The screen will dU}isplay a list of the files on the disk, up to 38 files. You make your selection from the list. The program willU} load the selected picture from the disk. The picture will appear in color at first then switch to black and white. TheU} bottom of the screen will switch to text to prompt you. Below the text block is another line of graphics, this showU}s the shade of gray assigned to each of the four color registers. To change the gray shade of one of the colorU}r registers, select which one 1-4. The prompt will change and ask which shade you want. WHAT THE NUMBERS MEANx BlackU} = 1 and white = 5. The numbers 2,3,4 will give you different shades of gray in order between black and white. ThiU}]s will allow you to set up the picture in shades of gray on the display screen. NOTE:c If you set color 3 and 4 U}to the same shade, the text will not be visible but things will still work. When you get the picture set up tU}he way you want it, a tap of the 'P' key will send it to the printer. The other choices you have here are: 'U}GM'enu will take you back to the list of the picture files, 'V'eiw will temporarily show you the entire graphiU}[cs screen just in case something important is hidden by the text block. WYSIWYGa This is a case of 'WHAT YOU}vU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET', the gray scales from the screen will be duplicated on the printer. HAVE FUN, TED BURGER} U}  v( E-N-D )scales from the screen will be duplicated on the printer. HAVE FUN, TED BURGER} T"ner was held on March 14th, with 20 people in attendance, including PAT MULVEY, President of LIAUG. JOE HICSWA, 5}President of JACG in New Jersey, and an OHAUG member, had agreed to come, but nature in the form of heavy rain, force5}d him to cancel his planned motorcycle jaunt to join us. We missed him. We were honored that 2 of the only ATARI5}E? clubs in the area wanted to join in the OHAUG festivities. E A funny (?) thing happened at the dinner. I asked PAT t5}o draw the first raffle ticket, and while everyone kidded him about NOT drawing his own number, he stuck his big f5}ist in the basket. Yes, your right! He did draw his own number. He told me it was all on the up and up, so I guess I5}l should believe him, after all I was running the raffle, and he hadn't offered me any bribe. (grin)r In this new5}sletter will be found a new program from BELGIUM. ROBERT DeLETTER, an OHAUG member, wrote the program using Turbo5} Basic, and it is an extremely well done program called "MEMORAND.TUR". You must run Turbo Basic (also on this disk)5} first. Once again OHAUG comes through with a scoop and a winner. ROBERT also wrote two very long game programs with fa5}ntastic graphics. Because they are so long, I felt it would take up a whole disk side, making non-game players fe5}el left out, so I did not use them. I did however, demo the programs, and they are now in our library. The name of t5}he main one is "CTULHI". My hats off to you ROBERT, keep on programming, you do have a talent. JOE HICSWA-Pres. of JAC5}G and OHAUG is well represented in this newsletter.

I think it will satisfy you graphics lovers, who may have missed it. Note also that you will fin5}Gd SPDSCRPT.OBJ and SPDCALC on this disk-both with documentation that I did not have when I may have used it in a prior ne5} wsletter. In the same vein, I think you all know that I look for usefull, interesting programs, so if5} you already have a program that is in one of our newsletters, remember that not everyone has that program, so please5}w be understanding of the purpose of the newsletter. It is to bring new and old info, and programs to ALL members. } 5}In this issue, I tried something new. I used the same program "SUPERDIR.BAS" for front and back. When you 5} run it, you will understand why. It has many great features, such as printing out the menu, with the program descrip5}tions, just by hitting the TAB when in the correct menu. A wonderful way to know exactly what each program does,5} by reading the description that you yourself wrote about it.

After all theiE}r hard work, it was quite evident that they deeply enjoyed demoing it and showing their creativity. Not to be seE}xist, we'll note all those gourmet (and not-so-gourmet) cooks will love this helpful item! (Except MARIE PIGNATOE} who makes every dish, every time, by heart and it always tastes delicious, even without measuring!) Each disk E} will accept recipes, totaling 64 on DOS; and, as ALEX shared, using MYDOS will allow the use of a subdirectoryE} allowing a total of 120 recipes. The men were truly interested in bringing this home to share with their wivesE} (it's also nice that the ol' 8-bit is useful to other members of the household). -- s/2: SUBATTACK (Again, modifieE}d by the Dynamic Duo a couple of times) - RON demoed this game. ALEX is the Champ (hey, too much practicing, AL!E}) RON steps up to be the Commander at the Helm. In fact, the top is 3,925 kills for ALEX. RON was doin' great aE}pt 1,000 kills until ALEX sabotaged his game (could this be counterinsurgency to protect his title?).t Other prE}ograms are a catalog/directory program, SOLITAIRE.BAS, RAMDISK.BAS, HORSERACE, OTB.BAS, DARKSTAR, POLKA SQUARE,E} RAMDISK.COM, STOCK MARKET, MASTERMIND, etc. ALEX chose to next demo the STOCK MARKET game. ALAN SHARKIS waE}s pulled over while he screamed out that money seems not to like him because it leaves him so quickly! ('sfunnE}y) ALEX threw ALAN out of the 'chair' really fast to show the others how a really smooth investor (no inside E}investing here) functions. At least on paper in the 8-bit world, ALEX is a mogul, a tycoon. In a matter of minE}Gutes, ALEX made close to seven hundred funny monies.

GREG COBY, (whomakes is presence known on FidoNet)has written a BBS program that I'mdying to try out. The only wab}y thatI can do that, however, is to callhis BBS in California.

However, Greg outlinesthe commands for his BBS editor inthis issue of (FR)ANTIC. it lookslike a vey b}sensible and intuitiveeditor, and I like the way that thetabs and cursor movements are done.Finally, there's an ob}bituary forJannet Blocker. I enjoyed readingwhat Jannet wrote in (FR)ANTIC fromtime to time, and I, too, will misb}sher.Nybbles and Bytes (NWPAC) forJanuary/February 1885 -- PresidentDALE WOOSTER's column is alwaysintb} eresting. In this one, hedescribes the move from the PAUGS BBSthat had been run by the NWPAC formany years to b}The Iron Horse BBS, runby MARIO ROBBINS. Dale mentions thatMario has declined compensation buthas volunteered to do thib}s. Changingfrom a user-group run BBS to aprivate one has always been adifficult move for user groups. Thb}eprivate BBS sometimes has carriedmaterial which is not important tothe user group's members, or containsmaterial b }with which the club may notwant to associate. I don't know ifsuch was the case in this particularmove, but I do kb!}now that it hascreated additional work for sysops inthe past. (We in OHAUG experiencedan actual dual BBS in the pastb"} whenwe called the WQNR BBS. If thecaller was an OHAUG member, he or sheautomatically was switched to theOHAUb#}GG side. If not, the caller wouldget switched to the WQNR side. Atany time, the caller could switchfrom the OHAUG b$}$side to the WQNR side,if the caller wished to enter theworld of rock'n'roll. The late KrisHoltegaard worked long anb%}d hard onthat modificaton. On the other hand,our present association with LIAUGand with The New Nest has createdb&}Ǜlittle additional work for sysop JimHarris, since LIAUG is our sistergroup. Jim's only request is that weUSE the b'}system!) In the process offollowing Mario's posts on theIAN/USF, I have seen a trulydedicated sysop doingb(} his best forthe entire 8-bit community as well asNWPAC.

ALEX immediately turns these new members over t:]}Jo Membership Chair, JACK GEDALIUS, and/or Secy/Treas, RON FETZER.N JOHN POWELL, currently of Orem, Utah, see:^})ms to be doing much better, healthwise.- :ALEX shared> JOHN's progress which can be seen from the the early 3-pag:_}e letters of unending questions on the most fundamental level to his present level. What growth! We're pr:`}(oud of another OHAUGer's triumphs., STU MURRAY, President of Scotlands, NOSAUG, sent the newest FUTURA, Issue 18, :a}b while acknowledging his hardy enjoyment of OHNL. ALEX tossed many an accolade acrossf ithem waves complimen:b}ting OHAUG/NOSAUG cross member, ROBERT De LETTER, Belgium, programming contributions. In fact, ALAN SHARKIS i:c}C:s currently converting a CD ROM from Holland forth club.> ROBERT DeLETTER, Zelzate, Belgium, writes, himself, to :d}dstart khis subscription with OHAUG. Secy/Treas RON FETZER offered ROBERT the ease of communicatingo qinu German :e} (It's wonderful that our Club can offer German, Italian, Hebrew??? Any more? Who knows.) ALEX received ROBERT:f}'s second letter which included a MEMORANDUM program and 2 DATABASES (all written in TURBO BASIC). R:g}OBERT's third letter included the 2 DATABASES for the 3.5 Drive for HAROLD PEGLER. Of all his various hardware, he sha:h}res that his choice is "his ol' buddy at home," his Atari. Seems RON FETZER, our US Ambassador has quite an active corr:i}%espondence with his Belgium buddy. * QALEX congratulated OHNL's staff forW ^meetingc fthek deadlines consist:j}ently. TThe delinquency of ATARI CLASSICS, in contrast, causing subscribersX Zto^ dbecomei rather frustrated. :k}  DANE STEGMAN, member from Akron, NY, shares that his frustration that life pulls him away from his Atari en:l}joyment. His 8-bit love stems from the fact that it's very easy to work with. After giving the BBS #, ALEX suggest:m}ed that he correspond with ALAN SHARKIS to get JIM CUTLER's MODEM address in England. We'd like to see more member:n}s correspond directly. Well, A second letter shared that DANE loved the politically correct santa humor in th:o}9e last OHNL and that he had met our ALAN on the BBS. = CAUGHT!!! AL MOLINELLA was the only club member (poor :p}soul) who inadvertently showed up for the cancelled February meeting. (A good lesson: read your OHNL faithful:q}ly and thoroughly!) DLARRY TISCHBEIN, OHAUG member, and EditorI KofO ULVIUG,Y Quakertown, Pennsylvania, reaffirms:r} his loyalty to his Atari 8-bit and 1st XLENT word processing software and joy in using it! Snow? Snow? At lea:s}st LARRY shared a very humorous (only after the fact, though) about his family's experience with "Wicked Whit:t}oe." (Yes, ALAN snickered.) LARRY had to unhinge 2 of his 3 entrance doors to his home and, get thisu. shovel:u}G the STUFF O-U-T from WITHIN the house ... it was SO bad that they couldn't get outside through the drift-blocked doo:v}vrs!!! He reminds us of Mark Twain's witty rhetorical complaint: "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobo:w}dy ever does anything about it!" (How true) 'Confushus' (that's Artie Confushus) say, (No, seriously, folks, listen:x} to this bit of wisdom:) "To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have." And, always the sage, :y}Khe leaves us with "The worst prison is a closed heart, and mind!" P A. B. TURNBULL member from Northumbe:z}rland, England, reminds JOHN HARDIE about his KOALA PAD request and adds POWER PAD and DIAMOND GOS SYSTEM to his shoppin:{} g list. ALEX had to return$ 'the, 3foreign8 pcurrency accompanying his request because the bank'su conversi:|}on rates are prohibitive so that the Club could only accept either US $24 or an international money orde:}}r in Treasurer RON FETZER's name. OHAUG dues are the same for all members, even though shipping costs are much highe:~}r for our members overseas.! TOM ANDREWS member from Manlius, NY, sent us a letter on TEXTPRO and speaks of i:}sts pros & cons. He included a disk of new additions to grace the pages of future editions of the N/L.w Quite :}P prolific!

So he booted the program and read (with all members'> Fsupport)J LtoQ further understand and help JACK. When AF}LEX gave up, JACK said he thought he had brought it to an expert (?)... it is generally agreed y all that there are F}no 'experts' here. OTHER BUSINESS: The LIAUG Meeting Minutes (by ALAN SHARKIS, Secy) from Saturday, March 1st, wF}ere read. An overflow crowd with all LIAUG members, LIACE, MACE, BASIC and OHAUG bussed in. In fact, it was a AtaF}ri 8-bit rally of sorts with almost every Northeast member present. Several local SYSOPS who are not affiliated wiF}th Atari Users Groups came; among them were JOHN QUINN known to all as 'ZEUS' of THE GODS' PLAYLAND BBS, LOU TRAPANI, 'F}THE MACHINE' and JIM EVANS from the 'STARLING' BBS. Not only where they all delightedly caught off guard, the librF}arian (who fervently worked to catch this large group on film in order that they might justify additional monies come bF}udget- time) and the local pizzeria who valiantly struggled to keep that speecy-spicy stuff coming to satisfF}y these 8-bitters. LIAUG President, PAT MULVEY, bit back his tears realizing what grand support there is for ATARI anF}d his Club. The demonstrations covered the entire 8-bit, ST and game system gamet and had to be attached as a separF}ate pamphlet accompanying the minutes. Guest speakers included BILL GATES of MICROSOFT who publicly stated that his wF}ar of words was over and that a new line for all Atari users would soon be available and jokingly held up a FALCON F}GO30 and asked when we'd be getting a 'real computer', NOLAN BUSHNELL admitted that his blunder of suggestF}ing that the concentration be on game machines will be regretted for a long time. THE SMITHTOWN HIGH SCHOOL KICKLF}INE, whose leader responded to all questions, etc., with "Cool!" As ALAN SHARKIS' notes brought us to the meeting'F}s end, he jokingly disclosed his 'April Fool's' prank. There wasn't even a meeting in a blizzard-soaked FebruarF}y (but this rally of support would be so nice). I'm sure we'd all agree to give ALAN an 'A' for creativity; but crF}ledibility would have to accord with one's gullibility (is this even a word?) factor.
