S1E8 VisiCalc

This episode features VisiCalc, originally released in 1980 by Personal Software and later in 1982 released by VisiCorp. It was written by Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston under Software Arts, Inc. This program for the Atari 8 bit line of computers was the first commercial spreadsheet for the Atari. There is a very interesting relationship with the company names, see the show links at the bottom for full details.

Review of 2014

2014 Annual Report prepared by WordPress. Special thanks to AtariAge, Antic, and Player/Missile!

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,100 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 18 trips to carry that many people.

S1E7 APX Weekly Planner

This episode features Weekly Planner, originally released in 1981 by APX. It was written by Ronald & Lynn Marcuse. This program for the Atari 8 bit line of computers was written in BASIC and released on cassette and diskette.

Podcast: Download

APX Weekly Planner

The cover of the manual:

Many Faces of APX

APX, Atari Program Exchange, was a software distribution model run by Atari between 1981 and 1984. It was similar to shareware in that it allowed users to write and sell software as commercial titles, but it allowed for a central point of sale and distribution. I like to think of it as a very early App store.

1981. Similar to the Atari Connection magazine logo:

1982. This one is my favorite.

1983. This is the one I remember the most:

APX Weekly Planner in Action

When the program loads you are presented with a menu of options. They are depicted in the screen shot below. Note the program displays the date and day name:

Selecting add event. After entering the date, it determines the day name as well. Note in the example below that HOLIDAY is entered for the TYPE field. None of the fields are limit restricted, however they are truncated to the internally defined size. As such, HOLIDAY becomes H:

When selecting INQUIRY menu item, first select the Date, Time, and Person which can all have a wildcard. Then select BROWSE or INQUIRY from the sub menu:

When selecting the INQUIRY sub menu, all matching records are displayed in full detail. Select CONTINUE to move to next matching record:

When select BROWSE from the INQUIRY sub menu, a list of matching records is presented in partial detail:

The APPOINTMENT LIST main menu option allows you to print a daily agenda on a full sheet of paper. It can be blank or populated with data matching filter criteria you specify similar to the INQUIRY function:

The CALENDAR main menu option allows you to print a full month calendar on a full sheet of paper. It can be blank or populated with data matching filter criteria you specify similar to the INQUIRY function:

Printed Output

Appointment List Output (in PDF form)

Calendar Output (in PDF form)

Weekly Planner Version Update:

As noted in the podcast I have updated the software to version 1.1. I am hosting it for now. Rename the file from .ZIP to .ATR. I can’t host files named as .ATR so it had to be renamed.

Download

Once booted to BASIC prompt, enter: RUN “D:CALY2K”

The changes I made to the day name determination routine are covered in depth on my blog Unfinished Bitness at http://unfinishedbitness.info/2014/12/10/basic-what-day-is-it/

Change Summary

The following changes were applied to the original 1.0 code to allow Weekly Planner to work with dates from 2000 to 2099. The 1.0 version would not work with dates beyond 1999.

Line 11: Added: REM UPDATED BY WADE RIPKOWSKI (2014)
Line 100: Changed version to 1.1, added (wr), spaced out word M E N U
Line 140: Set Instructions to lowercase (differentiate from Menu better), added one space before Press to properly center it
Line 420: Changed 19 to 20
Line 950: Changed 19 to 20
Lines 960,962,964: Removed
Line 966: Renumbered to 974
Lines 960,962,964,966,968,970,972: Added
Line 990: Changed to new month table values: 033614625035
Lines 991,992,994: Propercased Month and Day names

Changed Code

Since there is not an easy or practical way to print Inverse ATASCII characters on modern computers, captured printer output will have to do. Here is an image of the code changes:

S1E6 Synapse SynFile+

This episode features Synapse SynFile+, originally released in 1983. There was a second release in 1985 which provided compatability with the XL/XE computers. Synapse was thrown into financial crisis by Atari after Jack Tramiel took over and refused to pay for 40,000 software units that had been shipped. Broderbund software bought Synapse in 1984. As such the 1985 release is sometimes credited as being published by Broderbund/Synapse.

S1E5 APX Decision Maker

This episode features Decision Maker, originally released in 1981 by Color Computer Concepts through APX. It was written by James L Bruun. This program for the Atari 8 bit line of computers was written in BASIC and released on cassette and diskette. Absolute initial pricing was hard to discern as different sources listed different amounts at the time of release.
