The Ugliest Sysop contest in particular increased usage. On the AWAUG BBS where the sysop actively campaigned to win the contest he  received approx. 210 votes in a month.  this meant that at least 7 callers  per day were calling to cast votes in this contest.  The AWAUG BBS usage    increased over 3 fold during the contest period.I unctions,  the A.N.N. position is  that these do NOT exist and are NOT going to be used.A.N.N. members have placed messages on fidonet indicating what Adam BBS     certain files are on and should be called to download these files. getting a free subscription to A.N.N. by calling their Adam BBS.  A.N.N. is happy to assist the Adam    BBSs in this manner.A.N.N. also offers the monthly disks in special formats which are easier    for the Adam BBSs to sue and post.  This was done just to make it easier     some will be BBS'ing.  As you can probably tell, starting up SFAUG is really  fun!!  But we can use from others: suggestions; drafting NL articles; meeting topics/events/handouts; software/hardware etc (Guy,    how much is File Manager for "newbie" clubs?).  We also need vendor  NL     ad's to help our new ADAM owners, so we're keeping them cheap $6.00 for a   full page with fractions  accordingly, $4.00 if they join the club, also it goes to ALL AWAUG folks for free).

A.N.N. is happy to assist the Adam    BBSs in this manner.A.N.N. also offers the monthly disks in special formats which are easier    for the Adam BBSs to use and post.

These items always indicate the Adam BBS    they came from and is partially for the actual content of the download but  also to let the Adam community know what excellent material can be found on the Adam BBSs.  This includes files, messages, questions & answewrs, BBS    bulletins, etc.  The name and phone # of the Adam BBS is given in           conjunction with the material downloaded.A.N.N. periodically runs and is p the A.N.N. position is  that these do NOT exist and are NOT going to be used.A.N.N. members have placed messages on fidonet indicating what Adam BBS     certain files are on and should be called to download these files.A.N.N. has given permission to the new AUG in Philadelphia which has an     ANET ADAM BBS, to give new members and new callers two free months of       A.N.N. disks, in an attempt to help them get their AUG and BBS going.A.N.N. has as its Telecommunications Editor and Co-ordinator Bartya disk I will shortly send to Dean Roades to put on the next available   A.N.N. disk.In the past A.N.N. has run other items from Steve Major on how to           efficently and quickly get on and off the ANET BBSs to keep calling costs   down, while getting the maximum benefits from the ANET BBSs.A.N.N. allows the Adam BBSs to post and make available each month to their  callers the COMPLETE monthly A.N.N. disks.

Here it is, in the original Wilsonian: "I had purchased a used amber monitor at 03 and as soon as I got home, I immediately hooked it up to see how it worked. This upset my wife who I hadn't seen for 4-5 days as she thought she rated ahead of an amber monitor. (Shows she ain't a computer person.)

It has the advantage of not requiring any cutting or fitting in the ADAM case--we wouldn't want to violate the warranty, would we--and it may be attractive for other reasons. "If your ADAM is like mine (on 24 hours a day) you may want to add a little project to it like I have that will keep your ADAM cool. In MY CPU, I have a MI HD [Micro Innovations Hard Drive] interface Walters, of HEXACE Software, continues to fine tune his recently released 'SmartWRITER HELPER'. This package loads its features into memory and then calls the word processor, just like an ordinary DMP [dot matrix printer] patch program. But once it's loaded, it allows the user to access its features WITHOUT leaving SmartWRITER. It allows you to switch back and forth between the ADAM printer and a dot matrix printer; to use a second disk drive; and to use your memory expander rather than one of your tape e sure it fits!!! Then cut out a hole in what will be the top piece where the cooling fan will fit (so the air can get thru) Drill your holes into this same end and spray paint it black. Next cut and fold the edges of the wire mesh to fit on top of the cooling fan (so the blades won't hit anything). Spray paint it black when done. Finally assemble the whole thing, mesh on top, and screw the fan to the sheet metal U you just made. Set it up so the fan is right on top of the 'back' cooling vents and plug yourters. Here's another; "Image Scanner and software, Clock calendar and date imprinter, EOS text and HGR screens for any program that are user adjustable and toggle, Address Book Filer phone book printing program in mailing label format with telephone number in two columns, front and back of paper with the 1 1/2 space bug fixed, and user adjustable within the the column, ADAM fonts in one place [underlined] GoDOS 2.0 and GoWriter, and Dr. Swift to keep programming for the ADAM computer." Joe Peppers, Ankeny, N.Y. (518) 298-4294 in the St. Louis ADAM Users Group, Oct. 91. [capitals, etc. in original].In an impressive reversal of form, the usually acid and cynical Barry Wilson writes quite affectingly of his experience at ADAMCon 03. Perhaps David Cobley and other ADAM newsletter editors will pick up his "Close Encounters of the 03rd Kind" as did Valorie Zimmerman of the Puget Sound ADAM Newsnet in Oct.,91.Now I understand...here's one of the better descriptions of a new program I've seen in a long time. "Bruce card, (two serials, one parallel) and a Megaram 768K of RAM, plus two data drives. The two expansion cards are probably the 'hottest' running items available, and it used to be my ADAM was almost TOO hot to touch! Go to a Radio Shack and get yourself a 3" cooling fan, a hardware store for a piece of sheet metal about 3" x 12" long, eight nice brass cabinet bolts (that fit into the cooling fan),and  some wire mesh. Using a vice, [sic] bend your sheet metal to fit like a U around the back of your ADAM, makdrives...all from within the word processor. There's more too...like the ability to REALLY delete files, and such. All of this for $10 (cost INCLUDES shipping.)" Pat Herrington, Metro Orlando ADAM User Group (MOAUG) in the Nov. '91 AUGER of the Emerald Coast ADAM Users Group (ECAUG).

Since then, the wish list has become a popular feature of ADAM newslet fan in. Voila! You've got a NICE cool air swirling thru' your memory console. Remember how I said my console was HOT to the touch? Not anymore, since I did this it's like touching ice. Just thought I'd give a little insight on how a few simple supplies can drastically improve the life of your ADAM. Total cost for me was only about 25 bux (mostly for the cooling fan). You could also get a much smaller cooling fan and install one right INSIDE your ADAM too!" Steve Major, sysop The Connection BBS, Champlain, N.Y., via Rich Lefko, in the MOAUG newsletter, via ANN, in the AUGER, Nov. '91. This also demonstrates how information is circulating in the ADAM world: ANN is becoming the CNN of the ADAM user.

It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but of course I expected that. (How's that for an oxymoron.) Neil Wick, MTAG Express, Sept/Oct. 91.Wick reports that Gary Bowser, inventor/producer of the ADAM Image Maker (AIM) graphics board, says " there is a new chip announced, compatible with the ADAM's Z80, but it runs much faster, 28 megahertz. [Bowser then proceeded to sketch a new ADAM motherboard on a McDonald's napkers and the special functions of your monitor, such as inverse video."

With his Epson printer, he chose to use bold, wide, tall, condensed, underline and italic printing features with VDE. The advantage of these built-in features is that they do not slow the printer down, like the various graphic printing programs. Printer codes can easily be entered as you write.

Then there was his commercial software, just amazing quality and quantity, and his superb newsletter, [Nibbles and Bits] an excellent publication which set the standard for many. But the man never refused to help an ADAMite that asked for help and many that did not.Of course there is the controversy, the disappearance, the rumorBEYOND SMARTWRITER.BY DAVID SANDS.Since 90% of all computers, including ADAMs, are used for word processing, it's not surprising that the biggest selling computer programs are for word processing.Our ADAM was shipped with its own word processor, the SmartWRITER we all know and love. This article will survey three replacements for the built-in; Strategic Software's MultiWRITE, MicroWORKS and NewsMAKER.These are not new programs, but they are still available and if you're growing impatient with SmartWm smaller. A monitor, rather than a TV, is a good idea with MultiWRITE, or use a resolution enhancer like those available from Radio Shack to get a sharper TV screen image.Like SmartWRITER, MultiWRITE operates in overtype mode, and like SW, it word-wraps, has a screen buffer if you type ahead of the cursor, and stores on data packs or discs. MultiWRITE must convert SmartWRITER files to its own format to edit them, and SW can't load or edit MW files.What you notice first about MultiWRITE is the small chaon which meant much faster operations in formatting and setting margins, faster and easier operation in Insert and Delete, it's formatting controls which allow justified columns, centered text, and line spacing in half-line increments, i.e. .5, l, l.5, etc.MultiWRITE uses most of the ADAM keyboard keys for their familiar jobs, and even found a job for the Wild Card key--it inserts spaces at the cursor position. MultiWRITE uses a single key and Return, for example, to Delete, and never asks you if you're snd some characters are strange--'s' and 'a' are especially awkward--and you will find printing slower as well. In fact, it's half the speed of SmartWRITER, because MW prints in only one direction. MultiWRITE must call up another program from its tape in order to print. And, you must then wait while it calls up the word processor program to get back to your file. Some features, like justified type, don't display on screen, so  you only see the result on printouts. If MultiWRITE has justified a line with too ADAM's display on the TV screen were well known; the 80-column board had been introduced and was very expensive, and any CP/M word processor, like WordStar, required constant cross-screen scrolling and was awkward to use.Unfortunately, MultiWRITE creates 64 column display and eyestrain at the same time. As I understand it, the ADAM's video chip creates each character from eight pixels on the screen; to get more characters, you must use fewer pixels, hence MultiWRITE's characters are simplified to make theRITER, worth consideration.The three programs are different in many ways, but share some similarities with each other. All are written in SmartBASIC, will work with the basic ADAM, and tend to be slow in use.The earliest replacement for SmartWRITER was MultiWRITE. This 1986 program from Strategic Software of Lindenhurst, New Jersey, got generous reviews for it's 64 character-wide screen display and relative speed compared to SmartWRITER.Early reviewers mentioned it's WORDSTAR-type control code operatiracter size (compared to SmartWRITER) necessary to get 64 letters and spaces on a screen where you're used to about 35, but the biggest benefit of MultiWRITE is its speed, again, compared to SmartWRITER. The cursor moves faster and the actions are quicker. Insert and Delete  especially are a joy to use compared to SmartWRITER's clunky multiple SmartKEY routines. Search is only down from the cursor, though, although the Home key gets you to the top of the file quickly.On the other hand, the type is small aure. It doesn't use the SmartKEYS and you work from it's screen menu to load files, edit files or print them. And you may miss the Return marker at the end of your paragraphs.But the thing that attracted the most attention was the 64-column screen. (The ADAM was made to display on TV screens, which have lower resolution than computer monitors. Some monitors can also only display up to 40 characters.) This will also continue to be MultiWRITE's big attraction.When this program appeared, the problems with few words, they can be stretched across the column.However, since SmartWRITER can't justify at all, MW is a good choice for any job where a regular, formal look is important. Many ADAM newsletters are now using two justified columns per page and look better for it. The other 'but' with MultiWRITE is it's loading time: you first load SmartBASIC V.1, then load MultiWRITE via a 'run' command, and wait for it to come up on the screen. Plan on about a 5-minute wait from a datapack. Strategic Software released  line. Somewhat similar to SmartWRITER in its Standard Mode, and to using a typewriter..Unlike MultiWRITE, MicroWRITE uses a command line menu system at the bottom of the screen, and uses some SnartKEYS. Alone among the three programs it offers a choice between typeover and insert modes. Another unique feature is it's form letter or merge documents feature. MicroWRITE will produce form letters using addresses stored in the MicroFILE database.The command line system is used to enter the text editor from que Apple II green screen job) and the cursor acts like it's on street drugs, Insert, Delete, Move and Copy are quick!. The Control codes require a simultaneous hit on both Control and the letter code keys. These are mnemonic, i.e. Control-u for underlining, so they are quick to learn, and the speed of use is noticeable.On the minus side, are loading time, printing time, strange changes in the screen format after inserts and deletes,and occasional problems with the cursor overshooting.I have dealt with and adds a few new ones of its own. NewsMAKER calls itself "The Complete and Fully Integrated Electronic Publishing System for the ADAM Family Computer." The reality is a little more modest. I have used NewsMAKER extensively, and since it shares its brothers' slow loading, SmartBASIC glitches and tape drive origin, I have spent a lot of time with it. NewsMAKER uses a 'command line' system of controls; two menu lines display one-word prompts--Edit, Contents, New, Output, etc. Selecting New in Edit mode lets rks and others share, beside the common suffix, the same idea; do everything in one program.MicroWORKS offers a text editor, spreadsheet, database, business graphics and picture editor. Unfortunately, it does this at the cost of requiring small file sizes.9.4 K maximum. MicroWRITE, which Strategic describes as a text editor, is the word processor part of the program. "Text editor" normally describes a simple word processor in which you work on a single line at a time, inserting a return at the end of eachits products only on datapack, but the programs are now available from some dealers on discs. MultiWRITE was around $36.95 (US) when new, but it's about $19.95 now.Knowing your way around SmartBASIC and a good supply of patience is also necessary. MultiWRITE seems prone to "I/O Error" and similar messages, or to freezing if you do something wrong. Sometimes it drops you back into SmartBASIC, sometimes you start again from zero.While I don't find the 64 column display too thrilling on my monitor (an antithe opening screen, then to select functions within the text editor module. As in MicroWRITE, there's a wait between functions, a wait to print, to return to the text editor, etc. In addition, MicroWRITE displays only 32 characters across the screen (like SmartWRITER).Unless you'd like the benefit of the other programs contained within MicroWORKS, it doesn't seem worthwhile to adopt MicroWRITE as your word processor.NewsMAKER shares some of the features and problems of the other two Strategic programs, MultiWRITE at length because it's the most likely to be considered as a SmartWRITER replacement of the three Strategic Software offerings. MicroWORKS and NewsMAKER are more specialized in their applications.MicroWORKS is an integrated system, and is, I believe, the only one available for the ADAM. An "integrated" application combines software like database, spreadsheet and wordprocessor and allows easy transfer between them, indeed, that's the rationale. Non-ADAM examples such as Apple Works, Microsoft Woyou create columns in an on-screen outline. Another prompt, Contents gets you into text creation. Why NewsMAKER doesn't use the quicker features of MultiWRITE, I don't know.NewsMAKER uses the standard ADAM 32 column display, and its necessary to switch between its typing and View modes to see how full your column or page is. You can do only a single page at a time. The word processor mode uses two SmartKEYS, and the command lines. Commands can be selected by the spacebar, or more quickly, by typing the fion; Strategic Software's programs have probably been overtaken by progress in the form of SpeedyWRITE, VDE266, and TDOS in its 40 column mode, which allows decent display of CP/M word processors. In addition, there have been recent concerns about Strategic's commitment to producing programs and supporting them.Disc drive users will find these programs faster than datapack owners, and every user will have to make allowances for their bugs and idiosyncracies. It's a shame that there haven't been newer versiKER. However, NewsMAKER can print justified columns, and has a picture editor, a selection of graphics, (flag, etc) and two sizes of headline type within the program. I have not had any success in using these, and in any case, the ADAM printer has serious limitations in printing out graphics. (I understand a dot matrix printer patch is available for NewsMAKER).

KEENE.(Here is chapter 13 of our continuing series on using CP/M on your ADAM, written by Tom Keene of IEAUG. Our thanks to Tom for making this erudite series available for our reproduction. BDC.)I have been discussing public domain words processors for the ADAM in CP/M and there has been a great deal of interest shown in these files. I have discussed the VDO25 program and I still feel that it is one of the easiest and most useful word processors aroundon; Strategic Software's programs have probably been overtaken by progress in the form of SpeedyWRITE, VDE266, and TDOS in its 40 column mode, which allows decent display of CP/M word processors. In addition, there have been recent concerns about Strategic's commitment to producing programs and supporting them.Disc drive users will find these programs faster than datapack owners, and every user will have to make allowances for their bugs and idiosyncracies. It's a shame that there haven't been newer versiackground about this program.There were early versions of VDE (namely VDE22.COM) that were in the FAMILY COMPUTING Data Library (DL-7) but unfortunately it was a badly botched ADAM configuration that just didn't work. The Eric Meyer original programs were never configured for the ADAM and required extensive modifications to configure it for the ADAM. But the features that were available in VDE were so attractive that it was worth the effort to make it ADAM compatible.As time passed Eric continued to upg successful printout. But, there are many ADAM users who have separate printers and these people might want to change number of characters per inch and other printer features.The option choices include such things as the creation of BACKUP files or not; the selection of the default INSERT on or off; the default setting of LEFT and RIGHT hand margins; selection of having a bell ring on error or not; page length option and a host of other user selected options.In previous versions these were next to imposORDSTAR, while not cheap was the only alternative, albeit not a very satisfactory alternative. Both were painfully slow, especially WORDSTAR. And WORDSTAR just wasn't configured as a screenplay word processor, which VDE22SPX and SCRIPTOR were.Within a few months, Eric Meyer came out with VDE23 and VDE231. Fred Haines quickly followed with his screen play adaptation of both of these. Early in this year, Eric Meyer published a major revision known as VDE24. And true to form, Haines followed with a screen pl with a screenplay version, BUT I HAVE.I have been working with several screen writers and by now I have a pretty good idea of what the industry standards and practices are. It is truly amazing how well the ADAM can perform these rather stringent tasks, and do it so easily.But most of you aren't going to be writing screen plays, so what about the straight word processor? How is it better than VDO25? For one thing, those of you who have been using VDO25 have probably encountered the shocking error messagCRO key (e.g. ESC-2) would perform a different set of operations. With ten MACROS, it was possible to make the word processor extremely versatile.VDE23 introduced a new concept in creating the MACRO configuration. This was the VINSTALL program which not only made the creation of your personal MACROS easy to do, it also provided a simplified means to select options and printer configurations to suit your own preferences. Of course, with the ADAM, there was no need to configure the program in order to get arade the program with significant improvements. Shortly after VDE22 appeared, there was a screen writers adaptation made of it by Fred Haines of the Littera magazine. This version was identified as VDE22SPX and won instant acclaim in the TV and Motion Picture industry. It was probably there that VDE found its greatest use. Until VDE22SPX came around, screen writers were confined to SCRIPTOR and WORDSTAR. SCRIPTOR was extremely expensive and only those gainfully employed as a screen writer could afford it. Wsible to change. The really great feature of the VINSTALL program was the TERMINAL configuration provision. It was this feature that made configuring VDE for the ADAM a much easier task. All of the unique requirements of VDE are made available to the user so that this great word processor can be configured to run on almost any computer including the ADAM.This guy, Eric Meyer, just won't quit. Early in March he brought out VDE25 (version 2.5) which is better than ever. As of now Fred Haines hasn't come outay adaptation called (what else?) VDE-24SP. This version had the sort of features that made the screen play version more useful than any of the previous versions.From the outset, Eric Meyer had created a MACRO function which enabled writers to assign certain writing tasks to the numeric keys when they were used in conjunction with the ESCAPE key. For instance, ESC-1 would be configured to changes margin settings and invoke the carriage return and type in comments (like "continued" or whatever). Another MAe when you hit the BACKSPACE key. In VDO25 you don't use the BACKSPACE key. But it is such an ingrained habit for SMARTWRITER users to hit that key. It's just second nature. I do it all the time, even though I know better. VDE25 uses the backspace key in a non-destructive way the same as the left arrow key.There are a couple of other ways that VDE25 performs like SMARTWRITER. One is that the characters on the screen are black on a light background. In VDO25 the characters are in inverted video. Another siance, one nuisance in VDO25 was the persistence of the SMARTKEY display. You must consciously remove them with the SHIFT UNDO key every time you used VDO25. And when you exited, you had to restore the SMARTKEY display as well as remove the inverse video and clear the screen. With VDE25 I have configured all of these things to be automatically done when you enter or leave VDE25.The new documentary that Eric Meyer has written is much better that any of his previous versions; it is quite lucid. All in all I  the last part of your text and scrolls up as you type. This is a very useful touch. Both VDE25 and VDO25 have block control commands which permit deleting entire blocks of text, or moving entire blocks of text, but the manipulation is easier in VDE25.There is one option which is selected by the user as the default INSERT option which I like a lot. The insert command (^V in both systems) can be set to default to the way you prefer. I have set mine so that as I type, the new text totally replaces the old. h the normal alphanumeric keys, but convert the upper right hand group, which are never used in CP/M anyway or almost any control key (such as ^K or ^L or any control key that is not used in VDE or VDO).This versatile library file is in the IEAUG public domain library under the name QK21.LBR.The documentary is very readable and easy to understand. With this program, many of the VDE or VDO commands can be configured to function by just pressing a single key. For example, to exit VDE25 and save the progralable when you set your permanent default options.Another very nice little feature (also optional) is the carriage return indicator. VDE25 will mark the use of a carriage return with a left arrow which shows up on the screen, but doesn't print when you print out the text. Now this is really nice.  With the VINSTALL program, making special adaptations to any given computer is not only possible but easy. Things that would be difficult to incorporate into VDO25, can readily be configured into VDE25. For instmilarity is the way that text scrolls up as you type at the bottom of the screen. You may put the cursor at the home (top left) position and then hit ^C (control C) which usually scrolls all of the text up, leaving you with a clean "slate" to continue writing. But if you don't, the text will scroll up a line at a time as you type, just as in SMARTWRITER.There is also a "window" command (^OW) which divides the screen into an upper and lower part. The lower half shows a fixed text while the upper half showsrecommend this word processor to anyone familiar with VDO25 and would like to progress to a user friendly upgrade.There is a program that has been around quite a while that is an excellent companion for both VDE25 and VDO25. It has appeared on various BBS and has been recently upgraded. I refer to the QUIKKEYS library file.With this program, you can create MACROS of considerable sophistication with almost any key on the ADAM keyboard, but not quite all of them. I recommend that you don't fool around witIf I backspace over an error and start typing again, the new text replaces whatever was there. In VDO25 if you back up and start typing, it inserts the new text by bumping the words to the right of the inserted text over to the right. It doesn't replace anything. It inserts it and makes room by bumping the old text to the right.You can do that in VDE25 by using the ^V (insert command). It seems to me that this is a more "natural" way to write. But if you want it to be like VDO25, you have that option avaim to disc, you use ESC-X.For my own use I have made the PRINT key be ESC-X. To exit VDE25 and abandon any changes you have made the command is ESC-Q (then wait a second for the question ABANDON changes Y/N) and then type Y to abandon the changes. I simply configured the shift PRINT key to do all of this.You can make any key be a series of words like the address block of a letter. There are almost limitless possibilities and the main problem is knowing just what you configured a given key to do. That is am like Backup, a File Manager or a block editor. The ADAM user who doesn't use any utility program is probably a rare bird now. Media Helper (V1.01) collects a few of the less common kinds in one spot, for use if, as and when required.However, the collection is a bit of a miscellany, and it's hard to tell exactly who could use it most often. There are two directory management programs: one to sort alphabetically, the other to print out a directory of all files on a disc/tape; a copy program; a search proThomas J. Keene.EDITOR'S NOTE:.Since this article was written, VDE has been upgraded to the latest and I believe the final version that will be available in CP/M, to version 2.66 known as VDE266. VINSTALL has also been upgraded to accommodate the later versions and both are available in the public domain, either in CP/M as Tom Keene uses them, or in TDOS. I have copies of all the related files and if anyone is interested I would be pleased to provide disc copies of whatever they need. My TDOS (40 column will sort your files from A to Z on up to three block directories. I found it fast and reliable.

It's a good way to discover everything that's on a disc/tape.Similarly, the 'overwrite' program will bury for good whatever was previously on the media, and it is useful to check a newly made or 'inited' datapack with this utility to make sure it will take a file when you want it to. But, 'overwrite' doesn't clean up the directory block. You still have to delete all the directory entries.The copy program is 'backup26+'; and it will copy tapes/discs in 26 Kilobyte chunks, witify and create directories for collections of cartridges on tapes.Most of the utilities allow you to print out on either the ADAM or a dot matrix printer.

Bruce Walters founded Hexace, after he and his twin brother James went their separate ways. Previously they had worked together as Walters' Software, which company name Jim still retains.Since their splitting up, Bruce has produced a number of useful and inexpensive prify and create directories for collections of cartridges on tapes.Most of the utilities allow you to print out on either the ADAM or a dot matrix printer. Many have 'are you sure" prompts and I found most will wait for a media to be inserted, if you've started without one in a drive.The disc/tape copy program will allow you to copy to any size disc.If you're a dedicated utility fan, or like programming or investigating your programs, Media Helper probably deserves a place in your disc file. You might wa you can print out and retain as a small book.In addition, he has produced disassemblers for the Z80 ADAM main microprocessor, and for the various 6801 sub microprocessors that support the Z80. And he can program disc drive EPROMS and 68701 chips that may be used to replace any of the 6801's in your ADAM, that go bad.All in all Bruce has been extremely active in his support of our ADAM. And at very competitive prices I might add. Each of his items is priced at $10:00 a copy, except for the System DocumedyWRITE II so that this problem would be eliminated. But I think the shoe should be on the other foot. I think he should modify the default date on SmartWRITER Helper which is, after all, much more recent, and likely less widely used as yet. It's simply a matter of editing bytes 74, 76 and 77 of Block 0 on the SmartWRITER Helper medium. Just as long as the replacement date doesn't end in an 03.In the meantime, you can overcome the problem much more simply by editing the dates on each file on any ANN discsadvent of SmartWRITER Helper, Barry obtained a copy and has been one of the programs biggest boosters.So, when Barry loads SmartWRITER Helper, he also presets the date of any files he "saves" to 2E/02/03.And therein lies the problem that Dean and I have, and likely many other confirmed users of SpeedyWRITE II, when trying to read recent ADAM News Network discs. Dean was probably the first one to notice that there was a problem, because he receives the assembled ANN discs, minus the READMETWO disc documedyWRITE II so that this problem would be eliminated. But I think the shoe should be on the other foot. I think he should modify the default date on SmartWRITER Helper which is, after all, much more recent, and likely less widely used as yet. It's simply a matter of editing bytes 74, 76 and 77 of Block 0 on the SmartWRITER Helper medium. Just as long as the replacement date doesn't end in an 03.In the meantime, you can overcome the problem much more simply by editing the dates on each file on any ANN discsSome time later I phoned Bruce Walters to talk to him about the situation. Bruce told me he had determined that SpeedyWRITE will not "display" the next file after a file ended in "03". Now, ADAM uses an "03" at the end of each filename to tell the operating system that it has read the entire filename. And once SpeedyWRITE sees a date ending in 03 it stops reading the next filename and displays nothing for that file.He suggested that we should approach a machine code knowledgeable programmer to modify Speentation and new 68701 chips which are $15:00 each.Bruce, when writing his new operating system, chose his own birthdate as the default "installed date" ADAM entered in a directory when saving a file. Bruce was born on February 3rd, 1946 which means that his birthdate is entered as 2E/02/03. 2E being the hexadecimal number for 46.Barry Wilson, Editor-In-Chief of the ADAM News Network, is a dyed-in-the-wool SmartWRITER user. He says he can't understand why anyone would want to use anything else. With the  that are giving you trouble. My problems started with the October discs and continue. To make matters simple, I used my favourite utility FILEMANAGER, chose 00/00/00 as my corrected date, and went through each file entry on each disc until I had corrected them. It works like a million dollars and it's not difficult, but it does take a little time. I'm hoping that Bruce will heed my advice to change the default date on future discs, and perhaps publish a "patch" for those already in the field. modify Speentation files, which Dean writes, and returns a copy of the completed disc to Barry to use as a Master. Both Dean and Barry handle distribution of the EOS ANN discs. I believe Bart Lynch handles the CP/M-TDOS versions.After I found I was having similar difficulties to those Dean had mentioned, I wrote to tell him that we shared a common problem. And what I had done to try to correct it. I copied this letter to Barry Wilson, who, in turn, forwarded a copy to Bruce Walters for his information and comment.EXPLORING SMARTBASIC: LOGICALS.BY GUY COUSINEAU(The following article is another in the series Exploring SmartBASIC, by Guy Cousineau, of AUFG, Ottawa, ON. and provided to us by Ron Mitchell, president of that august body. BDC.)Logicals are perhaps the most misunderstood portion of BASIC programming. Yet they can be one of the most powerful programming tools. Not only can logicals make programs shorter, they can make them run much faster.What is a logical? It is an instruction which uses the result the next. Therefore in the example above, a better way would be:    100 IF x<>2 then y=y-1:GOTO 120    110 y=y+1:z=z/2    120 more programWhen dealing with integer values, avoid the >= and <= logicals when possible. For example:    IF x<=5 GOTOtakes more time than IF x<6GOTOIf it is possible for x to have a value of 5.1 then the second equation will not have the desired effect. BUT    IF x<5.00001 will work, and faster.Now for something a bit more complicated. Let's say we have a menu selectio if either player has a score of 100, you would say:    100 IF p1=100 OR p2=100 GOTO 500To jump if player 1 has 100 AND the number of turns is 20, you would say:    100 IF p1=100 AND t=20 GOTO 500The NOT logical REVERSES the value of a variable. If it was non-zero it becomes zero; if it was zero it becomes 1.    100 x=100:PRINT x    110 x=NOT x:PRINT x    120 x=NOT x:PRINT xwould yield 100,0,1 respectively.How useful is this? Let's take a simple game example where the computer and player tak00,900It may look a bit messy at first, but it works much better and saves program lines. Firstly q will always equal at least 1 which will be compatible with ON GOTO. Secondly, only one of the values within parentheses will be true and q will be assigned values 2,3,4,5,6 depending on the value of q$. If an incorrect entry is made, q will be 1 and the ON GOTO will send it back to get another keypress. Note that neither of the 2 routines above handles uppercase characters. This could be done in either one  GOTO 110    105 y=y-1    106 GOTO 120    110 y=y+1    115 z=z/2    120 more program    100 IF x=2 then y=y+1:z=z/2:goto 120    110 y=y-1    120 more programBoth routines accomplish the same task but the second works much faster sine there is less jumping around.Remember that when a logical is false, the rest of the line is discarded, not just the rest of the statement.If you look for the condition which requires the least amount of calculations, it can be put on the first line and jump over of an operation to make a decision. One of the more common examples is conditional branching:    100 IF x>0 GOTO 500When the computer encounters the "x>0" it checks whether this is true or false.If it is true, a LOGICAL TRUE (1) is assigned, otherwise a 0 is assigned. If the result of the logical is true, the rest of the command line is executed.The AND logical will yield a TRUE result only if BOTH supplied equations are true.The OR logical will be true if either equation is true.Thus to make a jumpn of "Edit Sort File Print Quit" that we want to evaluate using the single keystrokes "esfpq":    100 GET q$    110 IF q$="e" GOTO 500    120 IF q$="s" GOTO 600    130 IF q$="f" GOTO 700    140 IF q$="p" GOTO 800    150 IF q$="q" GOTO 900    160 GOTO 100:REM try againThis can become quite tedious.Remember that logical TRUE is 1 and that FALSE is 0 and look at the following:    100 GET q$    120 q=1+(q$="e")+2*(q$="s")+3*(q$="f")+4*(q$="p")        +5*(q$="q")    130 ON q GOTO 100,500,600,700,8e turns playing first.    100 x=NOT x:IF x GOTO 500:REM make computer move first.Note also the use of "IF x" which reads "if x not equal to zero". Every second time this statement is executed, x will be non-zero and the jump will be made.Other logicals include= <>(not equal) >< >= => <= =<. Note that the last 2 pairs are equivalent and mean greater or equal and less than or equal. These logicals are often used in programs but they can usually be made more effective by careful planning:    100 IF x=2by using something like q$="e" OR q$="E".Remember the joystick routines we illustrated in an earlier article? It talked about reading the joystick for NSEW values:                NORTH                  1                  |   NORTH WEST - 9 | 3 - NORTH EAST                 \|/       WEST - 8<- 0 ->2 - EAST                 /|\  SOUTH WEST - 12 | 6 - SOUTH EAST                  |                  4                SOUTHFrom the diagram, you can see that NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST are assigned the valill let you make any decision or calculation.Effective use of logicals can reward you with program speed in a reduced size.There is not much to be done with the routines which evaluate logicals. For those who are curious, following are the execution addresses:     AND 5496  (1578)     OR  5513  (1589)     NOT 5705  (1649)     =   5617  (15F1)     <>  5587  (15D3)     >   5541  (15A5)     <   5527  (1597)     >=  5573  (15C5)     <=  5557  (15B5)         5939 (1733) gets an equation from the e improved by setting an upper and lower limit (game board border):    110 y=y+(p=4 or p=6 or p=12)*(y<10)    120 y=y-(p=1 or p=3 or p=9) *(y>1)    130 x=x+(p=2 or p=3 or p=6) *(x<10    140 x=x-(p>7)*(x>1)Thus y is only incremented if the y value was smaller than 10. If 10 or more, the second logical in line 110 is false and returns a 0 which multiplied by the preceding value will always be 0.Although SMARTBASIC's logicals set is not the most extensive (no ELSE WHILE WHEN, etc) the available ones w0.00!!

It is kind of expensive; it costs between $80 and $100.   But then again, it still might be cheaper than having color copies made. How much do you normally spend on Christmas cards anyway?

Putting to use   the new ADAM'S ToolKIT program I just finished, I loaded in  the first 32 blocks of PowerPaint. Using the search option I located the routine to initialize the ramdisk. In checking   out the routine I found out all that was needed was to blank out the EOS init routine. Nexd in 16 blocks.       Search for a (1, 0) and when a match is found, check for a   table. I located the table in block 6. The first section     loads blocks 1 - 16 starting at location 32768. This is the  first screen, the second screen is loaded at 9216 and the    third is loaded at 48384. To modify the game to work from a  160K disk we need to first add up all the blocks to see if   they will fit. I came up with 149 blocks counting block      zero. I thought I remembered Coleco advertizing this game as 25e       ramdisk. If you have any questions please feel free to       contact me at W.S.C.How to modify PowerPaint.1. Boot PowerPaint and copy the files you use the most to    the ramdisk.2. Using ADAM'S DESK TOP, SmartDSK Cartridge, AutoSave,  or  COPY from SmartDSK III, copy the PowerPaint ramdisk to a     fresh disk or data pack. 3. Modify PowerPaint with TOOLKIT from SmartDSK III or the  new ADAM'S ToolKIT from W.S.C. Load block 2 into the buffer  and display location (536).

By Jim Walters Part 2.Buck Rogers Planet Of Zoom Super Game Mod., originally done  in 1985 by Jim Walters.   The first and biggest problem is to find the file manager table. I used the TOOLKIT program from SmartDSK III. TOOLKIT has a search feature, that will search for, up to four bytes at a time. Start with block (0) and loat I booted PowerPaint to        initialize the ramdisk. I then saved the ramdisk to a fresh  disk using the ADAM'S DESK TOP cartridge save ramdisk        option. Using ADAM'S ToolKIT I replaced the call in          PowerPaint with zeros and copied the 32 blocks back to my    PowerPaint media with the Auto save feature of ADAM'S        ToolKIT. The next time I want to use PowerPaint I must copy  the disk that contains the PowerPaint files to the ramdisk.  Boot PowerPaint and the files can be accessed from th6K ? Now, we need to do a little changing, for it to fit   on the disk. Check the table below to see how I moved things to fit.
