[by Ron Fetzer member of the_ OL' HACKERS ATARI USERS GROUP0} How many times has this happenedto you? You write a program and whenyou are ready to save it you realizethat 0} you don't have any disk spaceavailable. You can't go to DOS toformat a new disk because you willlose the prog0}ram in the memory. TheSUPER BULK FORMATTER will solve thisand some other problems. Not only willit format disks but 0}it will do it inthe fastest possible time. In additionyou can also add DOS.SYS. to the disksas they are being formatted. 0} You canformat the disks in all 3 densities. DUP.SYS. is not written to the diskbecause there is no way to call i0}2tfrom BASIC. If you need a lot offormatted6 ;disks? such as DiskLibrarians, Newsletter Editors or forcopyin0}"g this is the program for you.' MASTER DISK: To make a masterdisk, format a disk in single densityand put SUPER0} DOS on it. Then copy thefile BULKFORM.BAS from the newsletterdisk on your newly formatted disk. DoNOT use the file BULK0}FORM.BAS with thenewsletter otherwise you could formatthe newsletter and erase all filesfrom it. If you do not have 0}SUPER DOSyou can order it from our library. Wehave 2 disks with SUPER DOS vers. 5.1on side B of the disks. Library disk 0}G#602 is a game disk and library disk #537 is a disk with utilities. You canorder each disk for $3.00 includingshippi0}*ng from our librarian HAROLDPEGLER./ ;REQUIREMENT:? CThisI programREQUIRES SUPERDOS and 2 disk drives.SUPER1}DOS returns an error code when aformatting error is encountered. DOS2.5 dos not send an error code butkeeps trying 1}rto format forever. ALLthe format XIO commands are forSUPERDOS and they will NOT work withDOS 2.5.w FEATUR1}ES: This program willformat from 2 to an unlimited amountof disk at one session.You can specifyhow many attempts1} at formatting(1-5)You can format a side or sidesin SINGLE DENSITY, 1050 DENSITY orDOUBLE DENSITY. Your disk 1}drives mustbe capable of formatting in thesedensities. If you try to format inDOUBLE DENSITY on an unmodified 1}810disk drive your computer most likelywill lock up because an 810 drivecannot do DOUBLE DENSITY. You canform1}at 1 side or 2 sides. You canwrite DOS.SYS to the sides as they arebeing formatted. If you encounter aBAD SIDE the1}v program will stop and letyou label the side. To continue pressSTART and the program will go to theother disk.{ OP1}ERATIONS: While one disk isbeing formatted you are asked toINSERT or REVERSE the disk in theother drive. Yo1 }Gu have plenty of timeto do this (about 50 seconds perside.)L LIMITATIONS: The MINIMUM amountof disks you ca1 }n format are 2. Thereis no MAXIMUM amount. If you format anodd number of disk on 2 sides the LASTSIDE will be in the 1 }wrong drive andwill not be formatted. You canovercome this by specifying an evennumber of disks and format o1 }ne sidetwice. This program is in the PUBLICDOMAIN. If you have any comments orsuggestions they are welcome. 1 }L Pleasewrite to: RON FETZER, 22 MONACO AVE, ELMONT, N.Y11003, N.Y.

I can't say with certainty that5}G all are coming to my address, but I hope they are. It would delay getting them reviewed if they went elsewh5}ere. Sadly, some of the newsletters we sent to other user groups were returned, and I have to assume that 5} those groups are no longer in existence. Has anyone heard, for example, that the SPECTRUM group in Erie, PA is s5}till together? If so, please let me know how to contact them. On the other hand, we continue to contact other gro5}ups so that we can engage in newsletter exchange with them. We may have the results of some of those contacts in5} the next newsletter. In this month's column, you'll see the results of some "catching up" that I did with newslet5}ters that I received just shortly after the last issue was finished. (FR)ANTIC for July 1996 -- President TOD5}D SUNRUNNER of the AAAUA keeps his members informed of what's happening on the National Atari Echo of FidoNet by printi5}ng some representative messages. (FidoNet, which generally runs on IBM-compatibles with a variety of BBS pro5}grams, carries a large number of echoes -- special interest areas -- and also has the capability of carrying E5}-Mail with and without &Internet* access, depending on what each individual sysop wishes to carry. The Nation5}al Atari Echo is 8-bit. -- ed.) There is a notice about a web page put up by LESTAT called Atari 6502, which was 5}Sprovided free of charge by a company called, "The BBS List Company,"X ]whichb ggivesk free advertising 5}space to sysops. I guess that the free ad, in the form of a Web page, constitutes a promotion for other services tha5}t the company provides. The issue also contains a table of BASIC graphic modes and their properties and a5} type-in "Singing Star" program by GARY PRUITT (ARINC Microcomputer Club Newsletter, June 1984) JAMES MARTIN's articl5 }e about why he continues to use his Atari is also very worth reading. I'm sure that many of our members will 5!}agree with him. SCAT for Late Summer/Early Fall 1996 -- OHAUG is pleased to welcome to its newsletter exchange progr5"}Gam the Suburban Chicago Atarians (SCAT). I initiated this transaction as the result of an announcement of their5#}# club's next meeting Iin the comp.sys.atari.8bit newsgroup.M I thank President NICK DIMASI of SCAT for 5$}his respnse to my message. Although this combined 8-bit and ST group doesn't produce a newsletter per se, th5%}ey do issue a fine quarterly President's Letter which serves as their newsletter. We have entered into an exchan5&}ge program with them in the hopes of generating some more 8-bit interest in their club. We hope that such 8-bit inter5'}est is reflected in their future President's Letters. At any rate, their current one tells of their having sold 8-bit5(} disks at the MIST AtariFest that was held in July. (FR)ANTIC for August 1996 -- Editor MANUEL GARCIA reports on s5)}ome of things that affect the club in the area of BBSing and Internet use. It's a continuing problem for BBSs --5*} as the Internet picks up, the number of messages on BBSs declines. This and other things lead to sysop burnout5+}, and to keep the tradition of local and networking BBSs alive, other people must assume the role of sysop. Manuel 5,}Palso talks about his forthcoming demonstations of Discomm and SuperUnarc.U ZLARRY^ BLACK, moderator of the Fid5-}foNet National Atari Echo, did an on-line review of ICE-T, a terminal program by ITAY CHAMIEL.k pLarryt found s5.}everal shortcomings in the program, as did I, but we're both willing to admit that the concept of the program (80- 5/}columns and VT-100 emulation; both necessary for Internet usage) has merit. Read the review. President TODD SU50}NRUNNER writes an article on saving data to disk using BASIC. His knowledge of programming and his ability to commu51}nicate that knowledge through a written article are obvious. Read the article and learn some valuable techniques52}! PACESetter for August/September 1996 -- I was not aware that Pinellas County ACE takes a summer vacation, but 53} this issue confirms it. Summer is, indeed, a slow time for user groups, so the summer break makes sense. PACE54}G is now back from its vacation with renewed energy, and that, too, is apparent from this issue. The article 55}5contains a short, but touching tribute to our late president, ALEX PIGNATO. JEAN BROKAW has contributed a novel 56} monthly contest involving the creation of a family coat of arms using a construction set that works with Th57}e Print Shop. (Jean, I'd design one for my family, but it's hard to draw a tooth and a nail -ed.) Jean also 58} does a rundown of some of the information available through the Suncoast Free-Net. I wish we had such a Free59}-Net in our area, and perhaps we will have its equivalent soon. Jean has also filled the article with a vas5:}t assortment of tidbits -- games, puzzles, riddles, all with a nautical theme, together with a recipe and an a5;}nonymous computer poem in the style of Dr. Seuss. (FR)ANTIC for September 1996 -- This issue reprints BOB PUFF'5<}s rather lengthy and informative article on SuperUnarc which, by the way, is his own program and vital if you're goin5=}g to be working with compressed files. DAVID M. ACKLAM announces the A.U.N.T. show which will be held in Dalla5>}s on October 12. CHARLES BROWN's article, reprinted from the August 1987 issue of Fuji Facts, describes an5?}sd reviews The Print Shop. XIO3 for September/October 1996 -- ROWLAND GRANT reports on the Atari- JTSw transi5@}tion and is rather pessimistic about the future of old Atari properties, particularly the Jaguar. Rowland als5A} reports on some of the 8-bit activities occuring on, or being reported about on the Internet. Among them is5B} KEVIN SAVETZ's ANTIC Web Page project, BOB WOOLLEY's experiments with the IDE interface and a promise to get5C}Ǜ another issue of AC out when the IDE stuff is finished, and emulators by CHRIS LAM (Rainbow '95), MIKE HILL (POKEY5D}), and MARKUS GIETZEN (XL-It). This issue also reprints a large number of amusing computer-related cartoons. PA5E}TCESetter for October 1996 -- The Getting to Know You column this month featuresX [BEN_ jTAUTVAISAS,n who describes 5F}G himself as a mechanical engineer who designed many ingenious machines for manufacturing specialty paper products. 5G}G Ben visits Florida every winter, and has been using Atari computers since 1980. He uses his computer to help 5H}solve the cryptograms he finds in his morning newspaper. A reprint of a Z*MAG article by MIKE BLENKIRON, via 5I}the OHAUG Newsletter (Nov./Dec. 1991) discusses how to service keyboards in the various Atari 8-bit computers. JEA5J}N BROKAW, in addition to her usual puzzles and poetry has added a program. It is supposed to produce some eery 5K} heartbeat sounds, just in time for Halloween, but has what appears to be a typo in line 80. Perhaps one of o5L}ur members can fix it? Jean also has some tips for computer users who wear bifocals. There is a reprint of an a5M}rticle on BASIC programming that originally came from The Nine Hells Information Exchange of Philadelphia BBS, a5N}nd deals with undocumented quirks in Atari BASIC that allow faster and more convenient programming. There is n5O}ow a discussion going on in our newsgroup about the origin of the phrase, "It's not a bug, it's a feature." P5P}erhaps an Atarian didn't say it first, but our own BASIC demonstrates the concept very well. Read the article. 5Q}C The issue also reprints an article by MANUEL GARCIA (FRantic,H MAprilR W1996)] on uncompressing files and u5R}sing the compressed files as backups. IMAGE for October 1996 -- Somehow, IMAGE seldom seems to publish 8-bit- speci5S}fic articles, although much mention is made of their fine 8-bit members and officers in the minutes. I guess it 5T} takes some doing to get people to write articles these days, but I can only hope that will be the case. When IMAGE doe5U}s present an 8- bit article, it's usually a very good one. Well, this issue hints at the fact that CHARLES LAMB an5V}d DAVE MORRISON are putting together some fine demos. We'll just have to wait and see what the next issue says5W}5 about them. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*9os.

People attending the demonstration asked all ki9Z}nds of questions, but some of those questions weren't really (pardon the pun) focused. Somebody asked the demonstrat9[}bor what the quality of the digital images is like when printed out on an inkjet printer.f The reaction of the m9\}ore savvy people in the audience was immediate. They recognized that the question was too general. The demonstrat9]}or wisely responded by saying that it really depended on what you wanted to do with the printout. And so it g9^}oes with total machine emulators. It's an exercise in futility to be totally fair and objective about the products I9_}'m going to describe. The instruments used in this examination must be characterized as unique. My system is not y9`}our system. I'll describe it below, but I have to warn you that subtle differences can affect the way your exper9a}ience with emulation varies from mine. My interest in emulators and needs for them are different from what I se9b}nse is the overall majority of those who will use them. In short, I'm not a game-player. I see the value of pre9c}serving the riches of Atari 8-bit software through another platform (in my case, DOS/Windows/Windows 95) but I probably 9d}Pwon't carry my emulated 8- bit around on a notebook computer. Nevertheless,T Wthe[ bsubjectf of emulation is so in9e}teresting to me, that I'll take the risk and invite your comments, rebuttal, etc. I'm running my emulators on a Pent9f}ium 100 with a very ordinary 1-meg video card. My resolution and color depth are 640 x 480, 256 colors. I can get bet9g}ter with my current equipment, but I like what I see here, and it is a kind of common denominator. My sound card is a9q}cdB%DOS SYSB*)DUP SYSBSRAMDISK COMBVMAINMENUHLPB^WELCOME SCRBfAUTORUN SYSBhAUTORUN COMBiPRESSPRTMNUC BmHELP DOCBBJOYSTCKTXTBDNEWSLTR BASB+BULKFORMBASBCBLKFORMTXTBJENWSLTRVTXTBXDEMU02 TXTBSKULL BASkC B STRING1 BSTRING2 0zROCKET BASq SoundBlaster AWE-32 (non plug-and-play, memory raised to 8Mb.) which, while an excellent sound card, doesn't seem to wor9r}k well with the sound emulation developed for more standard SoundBlasters. I have 16 megabytes of RAM, a 256-byt9s}e pipeline cache, a 4X CD-ROM drive, a USR Sportster 28.8 kbps internal fax modem, and two printers - an Okida9t}ta 320 9-pin dot matrix that I keep in IBM emulation when it's working with my clone, and a Hewlett-Packard Desk9u}jet 660c. I've recently increased my hard drive capacity from 1.2 gigabytes to 2.0 gigabytes. COM 2 on my c9v}lone is connected to my Atari system via a switchbox that enables me to select a null-modem connection or a 9w} two-chip SIO2PC connection. My mouse is an Agiler 3- button mouse that works through a COM 5 card at IRQ 10. I've 9x} recently added an inexpensive analog joystick to the system so that I can test that feature in some of the emulators. 9y}The very first 8-bit emulator that I was aware of was Darek Mihocka's ST Xformer. I'd seen demonstrations of it many 9z}years ago, and I recently got to try it again. When Darek formed Branch Only Software and produced the Gemulator, it d9{}idn't seem to impress many of the ST users I knew. So it was interesting to me that years after the ST Xformer's9|}G release that Darek would attempt a PC version. I never ran his first PC Xformer, the 2.0, because when it came out I9}}} was still working on a '286 with EGA, But 2.5 was the first of his series that I was able to run after purchasing t9~}he system described above. I was impressed. I went out and bought 3.0a, a commercial version with more features.9} The version I'll describe for you, however, was a later one, though not the latest. It's version 3.31, not 3.5. I9}'m aware that 3.5 has a few more features, including the ability to hook up an Atari drive to your IBM's parallel 9}port (with a cable identical to the ST Xformer cable). But, 3.31 is quite capable and I frankly haven't felt the 9}need to upgrade at this time. My 3.31 relies on the excellent printed manual written for 3.0A by Bill Ke9}ndrick. On order, but not received by the time of this writing, is the new version 4.0. The freeware 2.5, I understand9}, is still popular. It's archive contains a documentation file that must be printed out. Whether you use the freeware 9}or the commercial version,! you should read the documentation carefully. Many of the features of the emulato9}rs are not obvious. Commercial PC Xformer will run under DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95. It is supposed to run unde9}r OS/2, but I have no way to check that. It will emulate a 130XE and is the only emulator that does that at this9} time. (In all fairness, the freeware versions of Xformer don't go beyond the 800XL, nor do any of the other 9}freeware emulators as I write this article. Just watch! The day after the article is written, one such emulator9} will come out!) It is supposed to display all ANTIC text and graphic modes, and all GTIA modes and be capable9} of displaying 256 colors. I will have more to say about that later. It does Player- Missile graphics with f9}ull collision detection. It reads and writes to both .ATR and .XFD disk images. It can read MS-DOS files and co9}nvert them to .XFD images. It will switch BASIC on and off easily, and will toggle between 800, 800XL and 130XE m9}Godes. It will support a PC joystick or do keyboard joystick emulation with a simple command line switch. It will s9}&upport the PC's modem and printer,* 0though5 8not= always satisfactorily. It achieves full 8- bit speed on a 389}6/33, and speed can be toggled. I have tried PC Xformer with a wide variety of programs. I can state that it wi9}ll not run reliably with copy-protected software that has been "cracked." This, I believe, is intentional on Mr.9}E Mihocka's part. He has been very careful to include only AtariDos 2.5 and MyDos among the operating systems he inclu9}des with the package. He doesn't guarantee that all software will run under the emulator, and has specifically state9}d that copy-protected software will not run under the emulator. He's a man who makes his living producing softw9}are, and I can understand his position. The joystick support seems to be spotty. The PC's stick works with t9}his emulator, as long as you're running a BASIC game or application. It even works from non-BASIC, non- copy-prot9}ected applications. I've found graphic representation under this emulator to be somewhat weak in some areas. Fo9}r example, an .ATR I made of Xlent Word Processor shows a difference in color at bottom of the screen that is distractin9}g. No other full-machine emulator I've tried does that. However, PC Xformer WILL print from this word-processor, and9} I believe others, whereas no other emulator to date will support the PC's printer. Here's one of those "w9}hat you're using it for" situations. If running classic Atari games is what you want, and you have no need fo9}qr printing, don't use PC Xformer. PC Xformer also has some limited modem support for the PC's modem,u which 9} I didn't find satisfactory because of baud-rate restrictions and other problems, yet it's a start in that dire9}ction which no other full-machine emulator has made. Sound in PC Xformer definitely didn't get along well with my A9}WE-32. I was losing channels, and sometimes getting extraneous sounds (high- pitched whistles!) that didn't q9}uit until I exited the program. One sound didn't quit until I rebooted my clone! But in it's own way, PC Xfo9}rmer sets a standard for other emulators to follow. The next full machine emulator to come to my attention is 9}XL-it! by Markus Gietzen. Although the program is freeware, the author will accept donations. He does reserve the rig9}Ght to stop anyone from using the emulator. He also prohibits its use in a commercial manner. The version I'm 9} describing is 0.16. I had earlier versions, and I think that 0.16 has significant improvements over them. 9} It has features that aren't incorporated into PC Xformer, but their usefulness varies from user to user. For exa9}6mple, a machine-language monitor is included.: AyouE select an unsupported feature, informing you that9} you have to wait for the full version. C'mon, Chris! I want to see that shareware version come out! Mike Hill's 9}Pokey emulator has also gone through several versions in the short time it's been out. What's more, although Mik9}e's sound samples have gone into Markus's emulator, Mike has also come up with a design for a board that should com9}e closest to emulating real Atari sound. The board fits into the parallel port on the back of the clone, and has a9}n external cable that plugs into your sound card. On the board are three chips and some assorted small parts. And o9}ne of those chips is a genuine Pokey sound chip! If demand is high enough, Mike is going to produce cards that ca9}En go into an internal slot in the clone. Furthermore, he's hardJ LatQ UworkY tincorporating SoundBlasterx compa9}tibility into Pokey, as well as printer support. A new version should be out as you read this. The performance of9} Pokey on the screen has to be seen to be believed. The action is smooth and the resolution is almost as sharp9} as that in Rainbow '95, but Pokey runs full- screen and Rainbow 795, at least in the preview, only runs in a small9}Ǜ window. Joystick support is solid. However, in order to get these results, Mike has had to do something to th9}e BASIC and Atari Dos screens that some of us might not consider absolutely pure. He has the familiar blue backgroun9}d, but the text is in an interesting, if clashing, bright green. Get used to it. The rest of the emulator's perfo9}Grmance is worth well the slight departure from authenticity. I regret that I won't be able to write about 9}Rainbow for Mac at this time. Perhaps I can add a small note about it in the next installment, which should descri9}obe SIO2PC and A.P.E.
