With the lack of 8 BIT reading material, tutorials, reviews etc., y}ou newsletter is filling the gap. Thanks a heap for putting out the newsletter, its a thankless job being well done. When }we finish printing it out, we have a 12 to 18 page magazine to read at our leisure, and its all WITHOUT any advertisement}s. We purchased your "TURBO BASIC PROGRAMMING KIT" by RON FETZER, and for the first time we are really learning how }to use TURBO BASIC, and its extra speed and commands. Thanks for that too, it was the best $7.00 that we have spent in a l}ong time for these three disks. Its what we call a real bargain. Is Ron or any one else in the club making up any ot}her programs? Please let us outlanders know, so we can keep on top with our 8 BITS. Lest we forget, we also enjoy ru}nning your suprise BASIC program on sides 1 and 2 of the disk. The CLOCK program with the ability to set the alarm and the} hour and half hour chimes was something that we just had to show off for our COMMODORE friends. Again, THANKS, and keep u}p the good work. Our $24.00 dues has been returned, over and over again! Yours truly, } Jim and Martha Jorens Quebec Canada *******TO JIM and MARTHA: Thanks for }your swell letter. With all that praise, we just hope we can keep pleasing you and all our friends and members. We will to}o, as long as we have the good members that do their utmost to make the OL' HACKERS one of the best 8 BIT clubs going. Ou}r thanks to each of them for their contributions. Speaking of contributions, it just so happens that RON FETZER (of }TURBO BASIC and his other programs fame,) is in the midst of collaborating with another club member, STAN SCHENFELD and th}ey are producing a two disk set called "DISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM". It will no longer be "Now where did I put that disk?" Th}is program will give you an index system and print out three different size labels, for your index card, your disk, and yo}ur disk envelope. Just like in the LIBRARY! It should be available after JANUARY 1, 1992 at a cost of $6.00 per set, or 5 }sets for $25.00. It will do all kinds of nice things for you. If you want to purchase this new program set, send a }check for $6.00 made out to RON FETZER c/o HAROLD PEGLER, Librarian, 129 Ketchams Road, Syosset, NY 11791.

Meetings are at PLAINVIEW LIBRARY, OLD COUNTRY }RD., PLAIVIEW, Lower Level. ******** Welcome to TEXTPRO. Following is an excerpt of Section 12 of the TEXTPRO } docs, showing keystroke commands in TEXTPRO. This will give you a fast start with TEXTPRO. Press CTRL and one of the ARR }OW keys at the same time to move the cursor around this screen (the EDIT screen). Lets look at 5 common commands first (pr }ess CTRL key & letter key together): Get a disk directory (CTRL M), Load a file (CTRL L), Print a file that is in memory }(CTRL P), Save a file after editing (CTRL S), and Exit TEXTPRO back to DOS (CTRL X):CTRL M - Bring up a disk directory (& } MENU screen) of the drive last accessed. Cursor to any file on the directory and do CTRL L to load that file. Pressing a } number key shows the directory of that drive #CTRL L - Load file from disk ... From MENU (CTRL M first) it loads the HI }GHLIGHTED file. From the EDIT screen, TEXTPRO prompts for a drive# and filenameCTRL P - Print file in memory. The defaul }t print device is P: (parallel printer). Device can be changed to E: (screen), D#:FILENAME.EXT (disk drive), or R: (serial } printer)CTRL S - Save text in memory to disk. TEXTPRO prompts for drive # and filenameCTRL X - Exit TEXTPRO, return to } DOS menu ***** A startup macro on this disk allows TEXTPRO to: 1. automatically load this file (READ.M }E); 2. load a HELP screen if you press HELP.To UNARC docs, EXIT TEXTPRO (CTRL X), & return to the DOS MENU. REMOVE THIS }DISK & put in a BLANK disk. New disks must be formatted with option P (format disk). MAKE SURE A NEW DISK IS IN THE DRIVE }, before answering prompts. Then load and run SUPUNARC and follow the prompts.Then reload TEXTPRO disk, and load your new }unarced files for reading and printing.

I have, and I can assure you that they are great fun. In this last one, we wer(}e invited to the home of ALAN SHARKIS. Right off the bat we knew we would enjoy the afternoon because about 7 or 8 of us s(}howed up, including one of our new 1991 members, ANN RAWLINSON. After about 15 or so minutes just shooting the bre(}eze, we were ushered into the dining room where a great spread was put up by Mrs. SHARKIS, a lovely, and warm person. Yup(}, there they were, my favorites, BAGELS and a couple of spreads. I tested them all and can attest to the fact that they we(}re delicious. Then there was coffee, and a delicious cake. All this was served with a large scoop of interesting computer(} talk, naturally. At that point, I was nice and relaxed and ready for a snooze, but ALAN had us go into his computer room (}to see where his IBM was shackeled as a slave to his 8 BIT 130XE computer, through the use of his SIOPC2 unit. Thats right(}, you read correctly, BIG BLUE was acting a s a large partitioned RAMDISK for the itty bitty 8 BIT! ALAN showed us how he(} partitioned the IBM with loads of storage space for all kinds of goodies, and worked off the 8 BIT keyboard, and loaded d(}isks, printed etc. Not only was it interesting, but it was really an incredible sight. ALAN said the SIOPC2 cost under $(}60.00 including shipping. So, you see people, don't throw away your IBM systems, (even though they can't hold a can(}dle to the 8 BIT) they still can be used for more than a door stop. They can be used as your RAMDISK! Lest I forget,(} ALAN then used his modem and 8 BIT, and got on the NEW NEST BBS (516) 234-4943, and because some members were new to mod(}ems, he ran through the procedure, and even left a short message for me, and then hung up. I then made the call, to get on)} the board, and you guessed it. Because I'm so used to using MACROS, I forgot my validation number, and couldnt get on boa)}rd. Shame on me! All in all it was great, and it once again shows one of the little fringe benefits of being a memb)}er of any USERS CLUB. As I have said in the past, THANK YOU OL' HACKERS ATARI USERS GROUP, Inc. for opening and enlarging)} my world with many new friends and interesting people, and adding another dimension to my life. Thanks once again to the )}wonderful host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. ALAN SHARKIS, and to those present, it was a wonderful afternoon, which ended to)}o soon.

Remember too that in mode 7 & 15, each pixel is two bits wide, giving four5;} possible colours. So define the character for colour 3, i.e. both bits set per pixel, as the draw_letter routine simply A5<}ND'S it with the current colour mask to produce the right colour. This is also why the image is two bytes wide, to allow 5=}for characters with widths up to 8 pixels wide. The data image is stored in the source listing as follows:1000 LG1005>}2 .DBYTE $3F00,$C0C0,$C0C0,$3FC0,$00C0,$C0C0,$3F00 All the characters are referenced in the character table (see CHRT5?}AB - line 1574). This is best left alone, and you should use the same labels for your images.

Yep, SpartaDOS X and the R-Time 9I}8 cart from ICD! SDX is great! I love it!!! The R-Time 8 is just as good (never again will I set the clock! right? Well, 9J}almost. The cart was sitting on top of my XE and fell a whole 2 1/2 inches. I now have a piece of foam stuffed inside the 9K}R-Time 8 to keep the battery in contact. Don't set the cart on top of your computer!). Ok, stop laughing and read abo9L}ut BobTerm 1.21 from Bob Puff. When you first boot up BobTerm (to be refered to throughout this article as BT) you see a 9M}well done title screen. What I find most impressive about it is its rather accurate depiction of the states. Good job, Bob9N}! Next, you see the Main Menu. The options are pretty self explanatory, but I thought I would mention a few of them in mor9O}e depth. A -- You can change between ASCII, ATARI (aka ATASCII), VT-52E, and VT-52O. VT-52 is a terminal emulator, 9P}the 'E' and 'O' denoting even and odd parity respectively. B -- Baud rates go clear up to 19.2k!! D -- Well, it9Q} seems self explanatory but Bob added an embellishment. If you press START while you press 'D' you will be switched into 9R}"echoplex." This is primarily used when modeming between two individuals. One sets 'echoplex' on and the other stays in fu9S}ll duplex. Normally both would have to switch to half duplex, but echoplex will echo back the characters - just like a BB9T}S. F&G -- For when you are talking to someone (voice) and want to go to the computer mode (data) without redialing. 9U}Very handy! R&S -- You can set both the transfer protocol, as well as the drive and path, for uploads and downloads.9V} For Downloads BT automatically adjusts to the senders protocol. Also, for both uploads and downloads BT eliminates the ne9W}ed to pad a transfer block by switching to smaller blocks, and therefore lower protocols, if the rest of a file won't fit9X} in the size block in use. For example: You are transferring a file that is 2, 176 bytes long. You select 1k x-modem and t9Y}wo complete blocks of 1k are transfered. BT will then switch to standard x-modem for the remaining 128 bytes of data. 9Z} K -- basically a standard menu of DOS 2.x/MYDOS commands. If you'd loaded the CP.BTM (as a module), it will give you an 9[}interface directly into Sparta's command processor. The lower menu commands are mainly used when you are in the Term mode.9\} You can activate word wrap, reset the online time clock, switch between realtime/online time, do a screen dump, save a s9]}napshot of the screen to the buffer and even activate fine scrolling. The chat window is an interesting feature, it allows9^} you to pre-edit what you type before you send it. It only has a three line capacity but it is still handy. I don't use i9_}t much anymore because of the delay it causes. Everything that's in the buffer is sent when you press RETURN. Most people 9`}don't like you using it because they can't tell if you are typing something or just sitting there 'twiddlin your thumbs.'9a} When "J" is selected from the Main Menu three options will replace the lower menu. This submenu is pretty straight f9b}orward. By selecting the first option you will be able to see what the system macros have been set to. You can change your9c} screen colors here as well as alter the macros. By choosing the third option the BOBTERM.CNF file will be written. This 9d}saves things other than just the macros and screen colors - so make sure you have everything set the way you want it. 9e} Selecting "E" from the Main Menu will put you in the Autodialer Menu. The options are clear. Something of note though to9f} you people with 'call waiting'. You can use the long distance code feature to disable your call waiting. See the docs for9g} the 'how to.' As I mentioned under the 'DOS functions' selection you can activate modules wich will add different featur9q}BMAINMENUHLPB AUTORUN COMB9 NEWSLTR BASBDHELP DOCBWFONTMAKECOMB4hREAD4080OBJBOHORDRFORM BCLETRED TXTBETXTPRCDTXTBWELCOME SCRBDMINMEETTXTBAUTORUN SYSBPRESSPRTMNUB; FFONTMA TXTB/FGBOBTERMTXTB%~HXF551MOTXTCBNEWLIB3ASCB%MDOS SYSB*rDUP SYSBBNEWLIB3TXTB78IDISKMGTTXTes to BT. This are external modules which are loaded at bootup. Two are included, these are CP.BTM and XEP80.BTM. As I alr9r}eady said, CP.BTM gives you an interface to Sparta. XEP80.BTM is the driver for the XEP80 80 column card from Atari. I do9s}n't have this as yet, so I can't say how well it works, though I have been told that the one included in the version 1.20 9t}arc file is buggy so make sure you get 1.21. Well that's all fine and well on how to use it, but what does it feel like to9u} use it? Well, I like BobTerm 1.21! I have only one complaint - you abort an operation by pressing START and begin one by9v} pressing SELECT. This seems reverse to me. Otherwise, to quote Dan Knauf from his 'Black Box vs. MIO' article, "pretty is9w} as pretty does." BT is very nice and user friendly (except for the use of the START key). I've used it for the past coup9x}le of months and the only time I had any problems was when the handler wouldn't load from my 850 (I have to shut EVERYTHIN9y}G off and try again if this happens, not just the 850 and the computer. If I even leave the disk drive on it won't work. I9z}s there something wrong with my 850? If you know please tell me.) or when I attempted certain operations from the command9{} line interface to Sparta. Outside from the above mentioned things I have had no problems whatsoever with BT and enjoy it 9|}very much.This article was taken from the newsnet system, and transferred by Mike Blenkiron, and tidied by Dean Garragh9}}ty. REPRINTED BY THE OL' HACKERS ATARI USERS GROUP, Inc., New York +*+*+*+*+*+ End *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ied by Dean Garragh8i |*||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||*| |*| XF551 8-BIT HARDWARE MOD |*| |*| A Project by Mike Stevens |*| |*||||||||||=}||||||||||||||||||||*| (Reprinted from the Puget Sound Atari News, April 1990), and by THE OL' HACKERS ATARI USER GROUP, =}Inc. with THANKS Well, I think I've found the ultimate disk drive for the 8-bit computer. I'm the AUGIE 8-bit Librar=}ian and that means I handle a lot of disks which takes a lot of time and disk space. Since time is money, as the saying go=}es, I am always on the look out for anything that will save me some of either. Well, when I heard about the XF35 kit from=} Innovative Concepts, I was a little skeptical. But I thought, "If it works, boy, oh boy, will I have it made!" The IC ad =}said, "Now XF551 owners can convert their drive to the newer 3.5" format and have a massive 720K of storage! Works with MY=}DOS, SpartaDOS, and the SpartaDOS X cartridge. Excellent for BBS use, hard drive backup, or use as a mini-hard drive!" Th=}e kit includes an upgrade ROM chip, adapting cables and complete instructions. The 3.5" drive was not part of the kit nor =}did I need it to be. Here in Southern California we have a lot of electronic swap meets and the one I went to for my 3.5 =}drive is the "General Dynamics HAM Radio swap meet". At this swap meet you can find almost anything in the area of electr=}onics, computers and accessories. I found a seller who had three Cannon 3.5" DD-DS disk drives that he was willing to just=} about give away. So I gave him $10.00 for all three. One worked perfectly, another one wouldn't format every time but ot=}herwise worked fine, the last one will be good for parts. Anyway, after a phone call to IC, and a week's wait, I had my ki=}t and all the rest of the parts I needed to install the new 3.5" drive in my XF551. Everything went in just like it was s=}upposed to. I'm sure glad that IBM parts are all pretty much standardized. One change I would recommend, however, is not =}desoldering the cable connector from the printed circuit board. You're just asking for problems if you aren't really good =}at that sort of thing. Instead, just pry the top clip off of the connector and firmly press the new cable (the one in the =}kit) into place. Then put the clip back on the connector. It is really that simple. The kit instructions gives you the op=}tion of either leaving your 5.25" drive mechanism in the case and installing the 3.5" drive externally, or replacing the 5=}.25" drive mechanism with the 3.5" drive by use of an adapter. I chose the internal option because I already own an AMDEC =}with four IBM type 5.25" DD-DS disk drives attached to it. In fact the XF551's drive mechanism is now number one on the A=}MDEC. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I really appreciate someone who takes the time to write good directi=}ons, since it makes all the difference in the world between a project like this being a pleasure or a nightmare. In this =}case I'll brag about these instructions and say that they make this Mod 'a piece of cake'. Now to the good stuff: Using th=}e modified XF551 or XF35 as it's called. I can't say enough about the practical aspects of this drive setup. After some e=}xperimentation I decided to use SpartaDOS and DiskCom together for my software. What I wanted to do was have the club's li=}brary available anytime without having to carry three or four hundred disks around with me all the time. As it worked out =}I've been able to put four to five double-sided 5.25" disks on each 3.5" disk. The combination of SpartaDOS and Disk Com =}means that I can read and duplicate in virtually any density or DOS situation I come across. I love it! I now only need to=} keep sixty or so 3.5" disks handy and they are little disks at that. I ask you, can it get any better? It's easier than =}carrying around a hard drive. Let's see.... 737K times 60 plus disks, ummm, well I'm sure it's more than 30 megs. Another =}really great application for the XF35 is in telecommunications. SpartaDOS plus the Express 212 program handles the XF35 d=}rive like a dream. I can up- or down-load huge files (compressed ARCed or text) with the greatest of ease. By the way, Tex=}t Pro 3.2r also loves the XF35. I haven't begun to scratch the surface of the potential applications for this wondrous mo=}dification. "XF35" where have you been all my 8-bit life? I just love it!Taken from the newsnet system, and transferred =}by Mike Blenkiron. Tidied by Dean Garraghty.

"DISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM" FOR THE 8-BITR9} ATARI COMPUTER by Ron FetzerHow many times have you looked for a file that you know you have and coulR:}d not find it? How often have you gone through piles of disks to find what you are looking for or have looked at a file nR;}ame and have not the foggiest notion what the file is about? Do you have so many disks that you cannot even remember what R<}you have? Are your disk piled in a box to be sorted some day?Now you have a solution with the new DISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMR=}! The system consists of two disks with 6 programs to help deal with your disk library. The programs are integrated. They R>}work together to identify your files, alphabetize your files and name your disks in an orderly fashionDisk #1 was writteR?}n by Ron Fetzer(me) and disk #2 was produced by Stan Schenfeld. We are both members of the 0L' HACKERS ATARI USER GROUP, 3R@}376 Ocean Harbor Dr., Oceanside New York.On disk #1 you have the following 5 programs. The STICKER program, the CLEANUP RA}program, the DISK LABEL program, the DISK ENVELOPE LABEL program and the QUICK CATALOGER. On disk #2 you have the FULL FEARB}TURE CATALOGER. Both disk catalogers put a disk name on the disks that is recognized by each other and the label programsRC}.The CLEANUP program is used to cleanup your disk before you catalog it. You may want to remove unwanted or duplicate fiRD}les, change file names etc. The program has all the major DOS functions. It also has a Text Reader section that reads any RE}kind of text or program from Wordprocessing files to Assembly Language files. Most programs are stored with the "SAVE" comRF}mand. This means that they are saved in tokenized form - unreadable. Strings are not tokenized so you will still be able RG}to identify the program in most cases with the Text Reader. If you still cannot identify the program then break out of theRH} CLEANUP program and run the mystery program. To get back to the CLEANUP program type RUN "D8:CLEANUP" because the CLEANUPRI} program stores itself in the RAM DISK D8. The reason you have to identify the program is that the FULL FEATURE CATALOGERRJ} asks you for a short description of the file. When you print the directory with the CLEANUP program you will have a blankRK} line next to each file name to include the description of the file. DOS.SYS, DUP.SYS and RAMDISK.COM are ignored by all RL}the programs. If you want to erase a disk you can use the Format option. This will format the disk and at the same time wrR}d M * @  $ % CC$$)%1 Udߥ$9%: !0 S$%FN} DD˙`  }J)Lr J  ((  p L ()   JFO}L= ( L 0q A    IB JC;?
