See program on t8}his disk. Here's a specialized word processor for creating a branching text stream - be it interactive fiction or a ho8}st of veried practical multiple-path applications. We all know the story: Rapunzel was locked high in a8} tower by a wicked witch. Every morning the witch would go to the foot of the tower and cry: Rapunzel, Rapun8}zel - let down your golden hair! Rapunzel would let her long braids drop through the window, and the witch would 8}climb up. One day the witch demanded that Rapunzel let down her hair as usual. But when Rapunzel came to the window8}, the witch saw that she had gotten a Mohawk. Hold it! A Mohawk?! Well, perhaps another cut would do - or 8} an entirely different twist: Rapunzel dumps a pail of dirty water! And then what happens? Ahh, what a tan8}gled plot we can weave - with WordWeave.... WOVEN TEXT: WordWeave is a structured word processor for cre8}ating interactive stories and other multiple-path text applications. These stories have a variety of surprising t8}urns and numerous endings, because they allow the reader to make decisions as the plot develops. Do you want Rapunz8}el to let down her hair, or would you prefer she got a Mohawk? From each page, the text branches to a new page - a8}nd a new turn of events - depending on the choice of action. With WordWeave, all kinds of alternative 8}paths are possible. Tracing through a woven fabric of text, both the writer and the reader have the freedom to8} determine how a "story" may develop, page by page. In this program, a page consists of one screen of text and the op8}tion to branch to four different pages. To use WordWeave, load and run the program, and then remove the program dis8}k from the drive - it is no longer required. WordWeave operates from one menu containing the following options: 8} Read Write Print Prepare Disk Quit PREPARING THE LOOM: Before you can create a story, yo8}u must prepare a WordWeave data disk using the menu's Prepare Disk option. The disk that you prepare should be a blank8} initialized disk. You will need one disk for each text file that you write. When you choose the Prepare Disk 8}option, the program prompts you for a title and an author. These two items are the first to appear on the screen whenever8} you choose to Read or Write with WordWeave. WRITE: Once you have prepared a data disk, you are ready to sta8}rt weaving your multiple-path text. Press RETURN to turn the page and start writing. In both the Wri8}te and Read options, the screen always displays the page number in the upper-left corner of the screen. The u8}pper- right corner shows the number of options that are available to the reader. Each time you, the writer, a8}dd another branch from this page, the number of options increments. Write mode provides several editing opt8}ions: You can enter a screen of text, define the different pages that this page may branch to, go back to the previ8}ous page, go to any desired page, or return to the menu. There is a different keypress for each of these option8}s (See control capsule, below). When writing a page of text, you have all the standard editing features 8} (i.e., insert, delete, etc.). You can even add a header that titles each of the different pages. A sim8}ple keypress allows you to toggle the Branches menu on and off. This menu appears at the bottom of the screen and8} displays the various Branch options that are available to the reader. You can specify up to four branches, each o9}f which can branch to any page. You can even have a page branch back to itself. You do not have to use all 9} four branches - in fact, you don't have to use any. Here is an example of a Branch menu: ----------BRANCHES-9}--------- 1- Have Rapunzel let down her hair 2- Give Rapunzel a Mohawk 3- Pick a new hairsty9}le 4- Dump the Water To edit the Branches menu, press CTRL-B. To add a description to a branch, such as 9}"Have Rapunzel let down her hair," simply press the key corresponding to the branch that you wish to edit and 9}enter your description. To designate which page an option branches to, put the cursor on that Branch line (1-4) and use9} the "Branch Destination" command (CTRL- G). Now the program prompts you for the page number that this branch sh9}ould go to. If you do not enter a number, the computer defaults to the next available empty page - or, if you have p9}reviously entered a number for this branch, it defaults to that page number. Once you enter the number, WordWeave 9 } immediately takes you to that page. If you wish to "prune" a branch from a page (that is, erase a branch previ9 }ously set), simply enter a page number of zero when specifying where the branch goes to - effectively truncating t9 }hat branch from the page. If, for any one page, you have more than four branches in mind, use the fourth branch 9 }to go to another page, where you may continue to present alternatives. If you want to go back to the pr9 }evious page, press ESCAPE. To go to any page at all, make sure that the Branch menu is not present, press CTRL-G, e9}nter the desired page number, and away you go. To return to the main menu, press CTRL-X. Now it's time to st9}art writing! Be creative and experiment. For example, try making your story into a maze. Pretend that the page9}s are rooms and each of the four branches are exits - north, south, east, and west. The possibilities go on and 9}on. READ: Before you choose this option, make sure that the data disk with the text that you wish to read is in9} the drive. The first thing that you see on the screen when you choose the Read option is the title page. Press R9}ETURN to turn the page. In this mode, you can display the Branches menu, select a Branch option, go back to th9}e previous page, or return to the main menu. There is a different keypress for each of these options. From Rea9}d mode, you can venture forth into a story's every turn, twist, and pitfall. You control the events by making yo9}ur own choices as to which direction the story branches. If you don't like the way the plot is going, you ca9}n always return to the previous page and make a different decision. If you don't like the way the story is reading9}, you can always go back into the Write mode and change it! PRINT: With this menu selection, you can print all o9}r part of a WordWeave story. When choosing this option, make sure that your data disk is in the drive. Because 9}the print routine is set up to print two pages of text per one sheet of paper, be sure to begin the printout at the to9}p of the sheet. The computer asks you for the starting and ending numbers of the pages that you wish to print. Onc9}e you have entered this data, each page is printed, including the Branches menu, which specifies the page number that 9}each option branches to. QUIT: Select this option to exit the program. Don't worry: You are in no danger of 9} losing data when you exit the program. All of a story's information is kept on your data disk. NOTES: 9} During the Prepare Disk option, the disk is initialized and all previous files on the disk are erased, 9 }so don't use a disk that has anything on it you want to keep. Only one WordWeave file can be stored on the disk, so d9!}on't use the disk for anything except the one WordWeave file. If you look at the directory of the disk with DOS, i9"}t appears to have nothing on it - always place a label on a WordWeave disk so you don't accidentally use it 9#} for something else. Due to this program's unique method of screen memory management, it works ONLY ON XL and9$} XE models.

A good time was had by all. We will meet again on August 14,UF} at BOB ULSCHMID's home. CORRESPONDENCE: ALEX read from the JACG JUNE 93 Newsletter. The editor is talking abUG}out "CRITICAL MASS" in a club. The Editor means by that, not the total membership but the ACTIVE INVOLVED members. UH}Those are the ones who teach, put on demos, run BBS' write articles and put out newsletters. The Editor feels unlesUI}s there is a change in JACG apathy, then there is no critical mass and the club eventually will cease to function UJ}as a club anymore. We hope this will not happen because JACG is one of our oldest and most respected clubs. A leUK}tter from our member ALLEN KIRK (author of PAGE EDITOR). ALEX got JOHN McGOWAN and ALLEN together. JOHN McGOWAN revieUL}wed the PAGE EDITOR PROGRAM. (See Jul/Aug 93 OHAUG Newsletter). ALEX forwarded ALLEN'S letter to JOHN. TheyUM} will be collaborating on P.E. and some future programs, we hope. Our member BEN POEHLAND ATARI CLASSIC ManUN}aging Editor wrote to ALEX. BEN is working too hard, with too much stress. He is not getting enough sleep, and hisUO} doctor advised him he must get more rest. Being the A.C. Managing Editor is a demanding job and doing it and a full UP}time job as well, is a very demanding schedule. A letter from our member JIM CUTLER in England. He wrUQ}ote that his vacation was great. The remodeling of his kitchen is finally finished. He tells us that it is really UR}very functional and nice. A letter from our member ALICE CHRISTIE, fom Lester, PA. was quite surprised that US} we knew HADJILA NASSERDINE from Algiers. (Yes, we too carried him gratis as a member for one year). Their computer UT}festival in March 93 in Lester PA had 14 Atari tables of these 10 were 8-Bit. Boy, isn't that great? She invited usUU} to come next year to the festival. The festival is usually held the 3d Saturday in March. It is run by P.AUV}.C.S. A letter from our member DANIEL CARRODANO of France. He tells us that he has a problem with one sector of UW}the CC8 language disk. We will send him a new copy of the disk, hoping that his problem is solved. DEMOS: UX}We received a disk from the SAN LEANDRO COMPUTER CLUB in California. They have copied several programs from our nUY}ewsletter disk - with permission of course. They have an excellent newsletter disk, always interesting. It is UZ} in our library #293. We have the AIM disk for April and May 1993. They will be # 291 and #292 in the library. U[} On disk #292 there is a program (FILEEM.BAS), that catalogs ALL ANALOG, ANTIC and COMPUTE programs. An excellentU\} choice to get. It is in ARCed form. See below for a better description. Disk #295 is another dynamite disk.U]} It is a TYPE AND TALK disk. The computer talkes to you. It reads your messages or letters. Great for a word processoU^}r document etc. It has 2 editors on it. It comes from our member JIM CUTLER from England. It is fully documented. YoU_}u have a talking word processor also on the disk. For the kids there is a ALPHABET and a SPELLING program on it. It isU`} similar to the SAM disks. It has a Compendium of most talking programs on it. Side two has 3 SAM games on it that allUa} talk.(Card games) During the coffee break there was a question and answer session on the 1st XLEnt Word Ub} Processor procedures given by ALEX. He briefly covered different aspects of this great word processor, including Uc}the useage of 2 seperate windows. Hey IBM you have nothing on us, we hav our own WINDOWS. New members had a chance to Ud} see the word processor in action. ALEX showed a program that he wrote called STOCKWAL.BAS. This program wiUe}ll show the value of your stocks. We saw FILEEM.BAS from the latest AIM DISK. When you UNARC it it has to gUf}o an a DOUBLE DENSITY DISK because it needs the room. It has cataloged all the ANTIC, ANALOG and COMPUTE magazineUg} articles in it.(Like EASY FIND). This is a great disk to get. It is in the library AIM Disk(5/93) # 292.

(Watch for this game on one of our future Newsletter disks). OUs}n this disk there are some other games on it. It has a game called BROADWAY.BAS (you are a Broadway producer) and alsUt}o a CRAPS game. We played the BROADWAY game and bombed out after 5 weeks of the play. We had a CHAPTER 11 BUST. ShoUu}w business is not in our blood! On CRAPS we did even worse. We are not going to ATLANTIC CITY EVER EITHEUv}R!!!. The other games on the disk are SLITHER.OBJ, SWITCHBX.BAS, DOMINOES, CRIBBAGE and EUCHRE. Use TurboBasic toUw} make some of the games play faster. This is library disk # 296. Harold Pegler our librarian is working an Ux}LIBRARY DISK #2. It will be completed soon. Each member will receive a copy. RON demod the ULTRA SPEED PLUS OPEUy}RATING SYSTEM from Computer Software Services. 6 members of the OHAUG had purchased it. This system is 3 operatUz}ing system in one. The old 800, the 800XL/XE and the OS+ system. You select the system you want with a 3 way switch. AmongU{} many features it has a bootable RAMdisk, fast disk I/O and a ton of other great features.

Q} NEWSLETTER REVIEW By Alan Sharkis OHAUG Newsletter Librarian There are only five newslettersQ} to review in this batch! What am I going to do with the rest of my time? Good, I'll have more time to do other thQ}ings, then suddenly, PANIC! I have a million things that pile up and I must rush like the dickens to do them It seemsQ} that Atari user group newsletters follow the same pattern. After all, attendance at meetings is down because peQ}ople are away on vacation. Not so, the OHAUG! We almost ran out of seats at the last one! That, too, portends Q} an active year ahead for the 8-bit community. After all, we might just have our own commercial magazine in just a shQ}ort while, (Ed note: We do have the new ATARI CLASSICS in its 3rd issue.) and the release of some new hardware and sofQ}tware by small, startup operations continues. Thanks to JIM HARRIS-Sysop of The New Nest, and LIAUG, the IAN has taken oQ}ff and European 8-bitters are actively sharing information with us. (FR)ANTIC for July, 1992 features an interesting Q}idea for a newsletter column. Read, "Member Profiles," by ED HALL and let us know what you think of the idea. EQ}d also runs down some of the software offerings from K. O. Distributers and KE-SOFT. AAAUA president, ALVAN SHQ}ERRILL's column on data bases is a must-read. The club reports that its April issue was honored by another clubQ} newsletter, the D.A.C.E. Desktop in their July issue. THOMAS J. ANDREWS' column, "Check the Basics," is reprodQ}uced from A.C.E. of Syracuse Newsletter (6/92). It reminds all of us to check connections to a piece of hardware insteQ}ad of just assuming the hardware is in trouble. Our newsletter is mentioned quite favorably in THELMQ}SA SUNVISON's column on Exchange Newsletters. The JACG Newsletter for July, 1992 is so chock-full of stuff that I canQ}'t single out any of it! READ IT ALL! The S.A.G.E. Scroll for August, 1992 is another packed newsletter. Many articQ}les, while not 8-bit specific, make good reading. JAMES GURIEL's 8- bit column reprints that CHARLES D. KOONTZ columQ}n on the meanings of filename extenders, which I reviewed previously. However, this time there is a request from theQ} author, along with ways of reaching him, for additions, corrections and comments on the list. The DACE DesktR}op for August, 1992, has no 8-bit specific articles. It does, however, make mention of the fact that the NorthR}ern California Atari Exposition will be postponed until December at the request of Atari, Corp. Atari willR} put considerable funding into this project and wants it to be the venue for the roll-out of their new line. R} User Group booths will made available at no cost to the groups. While I think it would be difficult -- maybe impossiR}ble -- for our group to attend, perhaps we could spark some 8-bit interest and contact our friends in thatR} area (S. L. C. C., for example) to see if they could demonstrate some of the OHAUG creations? The S.L.C.R}C. Journal for August, 1992 has a front cover that looks like it belongs to April! If you need a laugh, just look aR}t the cover. Aside from that, read BOB SCHOLAR's 8-bit disk column toward the end of the newsletter.

CORRESPONDENCE: ALEX was on THE MACHINE BBS, (516) b3} 764-5748) which networks all over USA and CANADA. A participant with the handle of KRISHNA, left a message sayingb4}: "I can vouch for the OLD HACKERS. Their best quality is their ability to gather unique programs from around b;}some of which come from EUROPE, and are just reaching our shores. This also is another must have newsletter. I can re^6}commend both of them. These newsletters are available in the OHAUG library, and are worth having. The adress^7}es of both were in one of the prior OHAUG newsletters, or just write to EDITOR for more info. I should mention ^8}that the people putting out both of these newsletters, are active members of THE OL' HACKERS. As I've sai^9}d many times, "We do get around don't we?"

I still have to get off my rear to check out some of the programs mentioned in theirb<} disk newsletter." A message from RICHARD WELD our member from BRIGHTON, MA. on the same BBS, THE MACHINE. He stab=}tes "Although some people think it is the stuff that is spread on the seeds that make it grow, I can tell you that b>}I am very impressed with the OHAUG NEWSLETTER." RICHARD has received our newsletter for over a year! The ab?}uthor of CARDSTAX, DAVE PATTERSON sent us some docs. Not only that, he also sent us modifications. He intends to workb@} on an EDITOR, and full DOCS for the program. Even though he is in the Canadian Army and did not have a computer avbA}ailable he sent them to us handwritten. This is real devotion to the 8-Bit. DAVE we really appreciate your work! ALbB}EX responded by thanking him for his very long and informative letter. ALEX sent a copy to the following progbC}ramming people, TOM ANDREWS, JOHN McGOWAN, JOHN COLLINS and BEN POEHLAND. ALEX said he wanted to spread thebD} program around to interested 8-Bit programming people. A letter from ROWLAND GRANT, Secretary of the GAbE}RDEN CITY A.C.E. in CANADA. He writes that they have about 45 members, 14 of which are die hard 8-bitters. The club is bF} run on the 8-Bit machine. Also the newsletter is printed with the 8-bit machine. ALEX replied that having abG} super programmer like JOHN PICKEN in their club is a big bonus. ALEX extended our regards to him. ALEX also sbH}ent our CALENDAR DISK to the club. A letter to JOHN McGOWAN. ALEX said that his article in the OHAUG NEWSLETbI}TER sure gets around. SLCC reprinted the article (SAN LEANDRO CLUB.) This is the club that BOB BRODIE of ATARIbJ} CORP. belongs to. A letter from DANIEL CARRODANO our member from France to ALEX. He thanked us for the new cbK}opy of the CC8 language. He is working on an interface for the 8-bit to an ST. He tells us that he is unable to get tbL}he XF551 that he bought in Rumania because of the mail situation in that country. On the 800XL it is not possbM}ible to use a RAMBO or NEWELL upgrades on French machines because they are different. (See the variety of info we cbN}irculate, -grin.) A letter from member JOE HICSWA, the president of JACG. He tells us he completed a motorcycle cambO}ping trip of 40 days by himself. He traveled 7,600 miles and 25 states including BAJA CA. and Mexico. In CA. they arbP}e looking for a KOVACS VOICE MASTER.

From DUTCH LEONARD from the A.C.E. of America in OR. He wants the 8-Bitters to create bU} a central repository of files and text materials. "In this way we are assured of OUR! OUR! OUR! contibV}nued viability and not dependent on ATARI CORP. Then we have a resource we can all access." He continues "the people anbW}d the place to take on that responsibility is the L.I. OL' HACKERS group. They have the only viable cbX}ollection of bodies and enough head count in one place to do this." Thanks DUTCH, but no thanks at this time, OHAUG ibY}s overloaded with projects. From BEN POEHLAND our member to DAVE PATTERSON the author of CARDSTAX. He bZ}complimented DAVE and asked for some improvements and documentation so he may be able to put it in a future issub[}e of A.C. From TOM WRAY our member from TEXARKANA. He tells ALEX how to run INDEX SOLUTION. ALEX replied that thb\}e stuff TOM bought at an estate sale we do not recognize as being 8-bit material. Sorry TOM. A letter to TWb]}AUG in England. ALEX writes that their JULY 1993 issue of the newsletter is great. It is not only wine that improvb^}es with age it is also their newsletter. Their disk is chock full of interesting material. All 4 issuesb_} are in our Library. From the SAGE SCROLL newsletter, July 1993 issue from Eire PA. On page 4 the caption reads "OLb`}' HACKERS". The librarian said that he will copy our newsletters and make them available to the SAGE members. ba}They will be made available not at the normal $3.00 price but at the service disk price of $1.25. He said that the OHbb}AUG disks have many great articles and programs on our newsletter. The librarian then goes on and describes our newslebc}tter on a full page. Thanks Mr. Librarian. From the BOSTON COMPUTER SOCIETY newsletter. They also compliment us onbd} our newsletter. They will have a complimentary copy at their meeting but it will not be on their BBS. From LOU be} TRAPANI the SYSOP of THE MACHINE BBS. "The OL' HACKERS has contributed more to the BBS than any other user group." He bf}said that he appreciated that. To BOB SCHOLAR, advertising manager of A.C. and 8-Bit librarian and V.P. of bg}the SAN LEANDRO COMPUTER CLUB and now a member of our club. ALEX mailed him another newsletter for one that got bh} destroyed in the mail. ALEX said we are glad that he joined our group. Our member S.J. MURRAY from (NOSAUG-Nbi}ORTH SCOTLAND ATARI USER GROUP), Scotland. He writes that he finished his exams. He is working on his FUTURA bj}DISKS. (They are absolutely GREAT! We have them in the library up to issue # 7). He writes that he has graduated fbk}rom college with HONORS. He said "WATCH OUT WORLD - ANOTHER POLITICIAN HAS GRADUATED!" He writes that he is going to sebl}t up a music studio this summer. He will continue with NOSAUG club and FUTURA DISKS. He also congratulated us on oubm}r newsletter and he said he was planning to write an article about us to encourage more European membership in our clubn}b. ALEX answered him and said he knows the feeling of relief when one finally graduates. "STUART, have a drinbo}k on the OL' HACKERS for your graduation". ALEX concluded by saying Yours OHAUGLY, (grin). DEMOS: ALEX showedbp} how to use the 1st XLEnt Word Processor. He showed how to use Windows 1 and 2, how to do a Global Search, how bq}to move a paragraph, how to delete and how to check the buffer. ALEX showed PRINTER.BAS. This program loadsbr} printer control codes into your printers. The next program was TINYLIST.BAS. This program is great for listing codbs}e, it saves you a lot of paper but you better have very good eyesight. We also saw GPRINT a great printing progrbt}am that lets you print in various print styles. It comes with docs on this disk. On this side we also havebu} BILBOARD.EPS, BILBOARD.GEM and BILBOARD.DOC. Next we saw GEMCODE5.BAS a program that loads printerbv} control codes and was written by ALEX PIGNATO years ago. This program gives you samples of the various font stbw}yles, and gives you the code for each on the same line. It also allows you to program your printer, before startbx}ing to print. Next we saw PRNTDIR.BAS by the late KRIS HOLTEGAARD of the OL' HACKERS. This program sorts the directorby}y and then prints it. It is great for disk envelopes also. Next we saw PRNTLABL.BAS This program will print bz}your address labels. Then we saw PRNTSTYL.BAS. This program loads printer control codes into your printer b{}and also lets you specify the number of characters per line. Side two of this disk has an AUTORUN.SYS program (ANIMATOb|}R) that lets you show and program your graphics and PRINT SHOP ICONS, as moving animated pictures. One of the bb}}est ones that we have here in the library. It also has SIDEPRNT, PRNTDOCS.BAS, PHOTOLAB.BAS (for 35mm slides).b~} With the animator you use the arrow keys.

DOOR PRIZES JOE LEBER RON FETZER STAN SCHENFELD AL ATKb}INS Mrs. Mary Gedalius came to the meeting with ELLEN, REBECCA and her son JOEL Gedalius. We had a demo by JAb}CK GEDALIUS' daughter ELLEN of the game PREPIE. PREPIE has good graphics, and 10 levels. The object is to geb}t golf balls across a hazardous street. JACK reached level 3. Most of us could not do better either. You haveb} to fight lawn mowers, tractors, alligators, logs, frogs, cars and boats. It is a fiendishly hard game to pb}lay. ELLEN completed level 9 but on level 10 she struck out. It was a great demonstration of skill b}and concentration and timing. We thank ELLEN GEDALIUS and JACK's family for coming to our meeting.
