Resulting upload/download time is longer    than it needs to be. CLONE.COM and IMAGE.COM provide you with a link between EOS and   CP/M that allows you to transfer programs between one operating    system and the other.  This means that you can take your           favourite EOS files, programs or data, and convert them to CP/M    IMAGE files which can be stored on a CP/M formatted disk.  From    there, like any other file under CP/M (or TDOS) compression        techniques can be used to shorten the Any       combination would do as long as it is possible to designate one    drive as an EOS drive.   4) Make sure that the programs CLONE.COM and IMAGE.COM have been  copied to the media being used as the CP/M or TDOS drive.  Let us  assume that a 256K memory expander is being used for this purpose  and has been designated as drive D:.  A disk drive is serving as   the EOS drive and is logged as drive A: 5) Log onto drive D:  and type the following command line: IMAGE A:44 D:LOGO.IMG 66 What you'rele.  They are        intended to work in opposite directions.  IMAGE.COM takes a file   on an EOS disk (either an A file or an H file) and converts it to  a CP/M (or TDOS) .IMG file.  CLONE.COM takes a file stored as a    CP/M .IMG file and writes it to an EOS formatted disk.  There is   also the facility to begin the transfer in either direction from   a specific start track on the source media. Consider an example.  An errant hacker wants to ply his dark      artistry on the LOGO interpreter and prefersve it back onto an EOS disk.  Using the same drive      setup, he would proceed as follows: 1) Insert the target media prepared in step 2 above. 2) Log into drive D:  and type CLONE D:LOGO.IMG A:  066 Where D:  is the source drive, A:  is the target drive and 066    is the track number on the target at which to begin copying the    file.   3) Wait for CLONE.COM to inform you that the operation has been   successful. The revised LOGO disk should boot with whatever changes were      made. This i44 blocks long.   The procedure would be as follows: 1) Using FileManager, make a copy of the LOGO media. 2) Format a new EOS disk and initialize it with a 1K directory.   Using FileManager, copy the first two blocks of the LOGO disk      onto the freshly formatted 'target' disk.  We 'll call this the    target. 3) The remaining steps would require two disk drives, or a tape   drive and a disk drive, or two tape drives, or a disk drive and a  memory expander, or a tape drive and a memory expander.  file by a considerable       portion of its length. You can use the CP/M environment to prepare a program in Z80      assembler thereby allowing yourself access to the many helpfull    utilities available under CP/M.  When you're ready you can then    used CLONE.COM to transport your code onto an EOS formatted media  where it can be made to perform as a piece of self-booting         software. It should be noted that while CLONE.COM and IMAGE.COM are often   described together, they are not interchangeab telling IMAGE to do is copy 44 tracks (blocks) from   drive A:  commencing at track (block) 66 into a file called        LOGO.IMG which is to be written on drive D: 6) Wait for IMAGE to tell you that the operation has been         successfully completed. Now take a directory of the memory expander and note that there   is a file there called LOGO.IMG.  This is the LOGO interpreter     living on the CP/M side of the house.   Our hacker makes his changes to the file LOGO.IMG and is now      ready to mo to bring the code up  with SPZ.COM on an 80 column screen which he is operating under    TDOS.  LOGO of course is a piece of EOS software.  But with  IMAGE.COM our hacker can move LOGO from one side of the house to  the other.  He's not going to actually run it there, but he's      going to examine the code for reasons of his own.  He's already    had a look at his LOGO directory with FileManager and has          discovered that there is a file called LOG O starting at block 66  of his LOGO disk.  It's s an example of the process conducted in both directions,   from EOS to CP/M and then back to EOS again.  If you were          preparing files for transmission to a remote computer via modem    you would of course need only IMAGE.COM.  CLONE.COM would be       required at the other end.  The .IMG file on drive D:  in the      foregoing example, that is LOGO.IMG, could be compressed using     CRUNCH.COM or your favourite archiving utility.  There is a        significant reduction in the amount of time requir what you want to store; then when it finds a spot on tape or  disk, it reads what is in your RAM, and transfers it to the tape  or      disk. What you have on screen, or in your whole workspace, is stored  in RAM, at the same time that you type it on screen.  ADAM  transfers  it to the tape or disk when you tell him to STORE it. Although you can Write-Protect disks, there is no way to do this   with a datapak (tape cassette).  Therefore, you have to be more     careful with a tape.  Of course, as you kialized target with nothing on it that you care about  particularly. This caution also applies to hard disks where CLONE.COM, if not   instructed otherwise, will over write block 0 thinking that it     has all that space and subsequent blocks to itself.  You will      then be unable to boot the hard disk in either CP/M or EOS.  Be    careful!  And as always, make sure that you have proper backup     copies of all your material before you begin this process. **********************************************irectory; and the file data remains.  Re-formatting will wipe everything out, and leave a blank directory.   This is simple with a disk; but, unless you have a Tape  Formatter, you cannot reformat a tape (datapak).  If you have a copy-program, however, you can copy a "blank" formatted tape to     the tape you wish to "clear", and it will give you a "blank"        formatted tape, again. This is one reason that a disk drive is much better to work with   than a data drive (tape drive).  A disk drive is a l‚Dےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے ---DATA STORAGE------------------------------------ When your Data Drive (or disk) is spinning, it is searching for    an empty spot to store the information you have on the screen. Your left line marker goes up and down, and scans and measures    ed to transmit   such a file. There is one important warning that should be added at this       point with respect to the use of CLONE.COM.  If the user does not  specify an 'optional' start track on the command line, CLONE.COM   will assume that the file is to be copied starting at track 0.     If the target disk or media is one that contains other software    or files, that data will be overwritten, including track 0.        Prior to invoking CLONE.COM, make sure that you're using a         freshly initnow, once you turn ADAM    OFF (or pull RESET), everything in RAM is gone.  So you have to     save anything that you may want later.  Although it is time         consuming to remove stored information on a filled-up tape; you     can easily re-format a disk, and "empty" it, to use it over.   From time to time, you have the need to bring up items you still  want,  and store them to another tape or disk.  Then you can wipe  off the tape or disk and use it over.  Remember, "initializing"  only wipes out the d************** €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ot faster,  and disks cost a lot less than datapaks (tape casssettes). -----NJD--------------------------------- file) and converts it to  a CP/M (or TDOS) .IMG file.

First of all it won't be possible to   add this font to the inventory; it can only replace one of the     existing fonts.  That is because of the way the control program,   FONTNAMES.MTX is set up.  This program is dedicated to one sector  of a file and this sector can accommodate only eight fonts.  This  could be changed but that would involve a change in the            PRINTMASTER program itself.  When you are presented with the  font options when running PRINTMASTER,  to bring the code up  with SPZ.COM on an 80 column screen which he is operating under    TDOS.  LOGO of course is a piece of EOS software.  But with  IMAGE.COM our hacker can move LOGO from one side of the house to  the other.  He's not going to actually run it there, but he's      going to examine the code for reasons of his own.  He's already    had a look at his LOGO directory with FileManager and has          discovered that there is a file called LOG O starting at block 66  of his LOGO disk.  It's hey are   uniquely spaced with nulls in the FONTNAMES.MTX file itself.

It isn't nearly as attractive as any   of the regular fonts, but there may be an occasion where it might  be useful.

Next, we rename EDITOR.FNT to DEVILLE.FNT thusly:A>REN DEVILLE.FNT=EDITOR.FNT <CR> What this has done is to preserve the actual font construction    of the Editor font only under the name of DeVille.  The file       FNTNAMES.MTX still carries the same list of fonts and the name     Editor will not be seen.  But if you select DeVille you  will be   getting the Editor foill shed light on the    first method of altering the file FONTNAMES.MTX so that the        Editor font may be used.  Using any disassembler (and for this I   prefer DU-V87), change any font name in that first sector to       "Editor" but be sure that you provide the nulls to finish  out the line. For example, let's substitute Editor for DeVille.  The Line       number 00 will then look like this:00 45646974 6F720000 00000000 00000000 *Editor..........*Note in particular that nulls are used to fill an************** €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€quite straight forward, there is the second procedure I         mentioned above.  This is much easier and just as effective.  You  don't need a disassembler and it is simplicity itself. What you do in the second procedure is just rename the fonts      themselves.  For example, if we plan to substitute the Editor      font for the DeVille font, first we rename the DeVille font to     some fictitious name.  Using the rename feature of CP/M (or TDOS)  do this:A>REN NEW.FNT = DEVILLE.FNT <CR>This saves th1A 1A1A1A1A 1A1A1A1A 1A1A1A1A *................* 70       1A1A1A1A 1A1A1A1A 1A1A1A1A 1A1A1A1A *................* The first sector contains the only useful directory of font       names.  It might appear that the only thing required to add the    extra font "Editor", would be to add it to the second sector, or   to put in in ahead of the No Font entry.  I've tried that and it   doesn't work.  PRINTMASTER will still only display the  first      eight font options. However, this information printed above wnt instead.  It might seem a little  screwy,  but it works and it is tres simple to make the change.Thomas J.

I'm not going into how this program become ADAM PD  so I suggest you reae is one disadvantage when using GrabFont.  That is your       working within this 8x8 pixel block and it's very hard on the       eyes.  With FontPower you have this big 8x8 grid to work with. My overall impression of "GrabFont" is that when making 8x16       vertical or horizontal fonts the advantages outweigh the            disadvantages. Jerry Vrancks NOTE:  Pat's article and GrabFont was on the Oct.  93 ANN disk. 't  see any  advantages over FontPower so I just set it up and forgot  about it. I've been playing around with trying to make a double decker       cursive type font using FontPower.  One of the big problems in      making a double high font with FontPower is that you can only see   the upper or lower case at any given time.  This makes it very      difficult to visualize what the entire font will look like. A month or so ago I had some time to work on my cursive font.      Instead of booting up FontPowll!  -Editor  ---------------------------------The 1/10/94 U.S.NEWS Editorial by Editor-In-Chief Mortimer B.

I could now draw my fonts within these  blocks, therefore keeping them in the Move/Copy frame.  I then  moved the   upper half of my fonts into the upper case and the lower part into the lower case with no problem. What I like most about GrabFont is that I can print out my fonts   before I save them as a font set.  If I want to make a change  here or there it's much easier to do so before it's saved as a  font.    You can't do this with FontPower. Therd Pat's article.  My purpose here is to  relate    some of my experiences with "GrabFont" compared to "FontPower". After reading Pat's article on GrabFont I was anxiously awaiting   it's release.  I got my first copy from Dean at the 463 meeting.    Dean also gave a short demo on how it worked.  To be quite frank  I couldn't see any advantages over FontPower.  The next day I  booted up GrabFont and spent a hour or so playing around with it.   I had  a greater understanding of the program but still couldn‚Cےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے --AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!-----------------------------------I thought the following dozen exerpts were humorous and might be   interesting (now that 1993 is behind us); even though they have    NO bearing on the ADAM.  A little humor is good for aer I decided to give GrabFont  another look see.  One of the big problems I had with GrabFfont  was        keeping my would be fonts within the 8x8 pixel Move/Copy  frame.    What I did this time was to load "Template", (this is a  10K        PowerPaint pix on the GrabFont disk).  After I loaded the  template I made some changes to it. First I erased everything below the all important line that is     explained in the GrabFont doc's.  I painted the background gray.    I then made 8x8 and 8x16 pixel blocksLEY, house speaker, on the difficulties of getting Congress  to face up to the budget deficit:  "It is the nature of Congress   to think and talk wisely, and to act foolishly." ---------------------ROSS PEROT on Congress:  "Going to Congress doesn't make you a     statesman any more than going to a garage makes you a car." ---------------------RALPH NADER on term limits:  Congressmen are living proof that     practice doesn't make perfect." ---------------------HEALTH INSURANCE SPOKESMEN on the Clinto t:VTAB 1630 INPUT " Who is this wish for?

There is a card game, which plays either Blackjack or  Poker.  There is a nice dice game which I have seen before,        though not on a computer.  Eve was going on.     (Why I kept getting negative scores, for example.) I found a couple of interesting things right away.  Line 105      sets the maximum number of mines to 20.  Yet I have seen up to 25  and my wife claims to have seen more.  I have not found the        reason for this.  Yet. Line 140 contains an elegant randomizer.  The program PEEKs       address 64885 looking for a keypress.  It loops back upon itself   until a key is pressed, incrementing a counter until this          happens.  This hat we can all copy it    to our October disk. Meanwhile, MINEFIELD.  I found the game fascinating.  It is       worth noting that I am an Expert-rated chess player.  My idea of   a good game is one that can be "solved," preferably after some     work.  (ADAMBOMB is my favorite game for the ADAM.) I usually      disdain random games.  This one, however, has just enough          thinking required to keep me interested.  It is also just enough   randomness to drive me absolutely crazy. I decided I had to  P.L.O.:  "If Moses had been a        committee, the Israelites would still be in Egypt." ---------------------GEORGE BUSH on the gulf war:  "The Middle East is a region where   oil is thicker than blood." ---------------------JOHN MC LAUGHLIN, TV talk-show host, on the return of the          Republicans:  "Every dogma has its day." ---------------------ELIZABETH TAYLOR on marriage:  "Bigamy is having one husband too   many.

It is            interesting. When I lost, I changed to a new disk and SAVEd the program.  Not  BSAVE, notice, just SAVE.  I turned on the printer and LISTed a    copy of the program.  Then I loaded SpeedyWrite II again and       loaded the program. Armed with a copy of the program and the fantastic SEARCH         facilities of SpeedyWrite II, I was able to trace the variables    through the program.  That way I could tell whatn better is a version of solitaire   which I have not seen before, an interesting version which you     can actually win most of the time!  Finally, the most interesting  game of the group:  MINEFIELD. It is worth noting that this was apparently supposed to be a      self-booting disk.  There is a HELLO file which runs a very nice   DIRECTORY program.  Unfortunately, one of the sub-programs is      missing so the disk won't self-boot.  I hope Guy will provide the  missing program on a future ANN disk so tgives a very satisfactory random number which is    used to control the placement of the mines.  I have seen Guy       write about this method before, but I do not believe I have seen   it in use. Line 270 is used to "draw" letters on the HGR2 screen.  More      about this in the next article. Line 325 contains a routine used to find an empty square on       which to start.  It finds a square without a mine.  There may be   a mine in one of the adjoining squares.  I believe the game would  be better if 463-1.  Add it to a copy of your MINEFIELD    program and it will print out the shape table used by MINEFIELD.   The game will no longer run, so don't add it to the original. Another thing I wanted to do was experiment with changing the     game to allow me to choose a screen rather than have one randomly  generated.  The random screen if far too "luck" dependent.  We     chess players prefer logic, you know.  (sniff) The code to set a screen is in file MF463-2.  It is not           compatible with MF46ons.  I think this is a remarkable achievement by Guy    Cousineau.

One of the        things I wanted to do was examine the shape table and the          procedure for writing text to an HGR2 screen.  The code needed to  do that is in file MFthe start square had no mines anywhere adjacent.  It  would still not always be solvable by pure logic, but it would be  more often.  The necessary code to check for this is available in  line 620.  When I demonstrated this program at the 463-ADAM        meeting Dean Roades said that would make the game too easy.  I     don't want it easy.  I just want it fair, by which I mean I want   it to be solvable by logic rather than luck. The entire program is only three pages and half of one of those   is directi3-1.  Add this to another copy of your         MINEFIELD program.  Change the DATA statements to change the       positions of the mines. It is possible to merge programs directly in BASIC, but for my    purposes I wanted a copy of MINEFIELD anyway.  Here is one way to  merge the programs: 1) Load BASIC 2) BRUN MINEFIELD 3) Use CNTL-C to escape from the program 4) Use TEXT command to exit the HGR2 screen 5) On a new disk, SAVE MINEFIELD  Note:  NOT BSAVE 6) Exit from BASIC 7) Using a word processoy spaces left     after the name of the font.

It starts on a square without   a mine.  I believe it should start on a square without a number.   MF463-3 is code to effect this change.  This changes existing      lines of code in thehe 12 x 12 board.       Then you add one for each mine.  There should be a maximum of 20,  but sometimes there are more.  I have not yet spotted where that   number is changed.  From this you subtract the square of the       number of mines left unfound.  This is a substantial penalty.      You further subtract one point for each board square left          undetermined.  Finally, you subtract tp which is incremented each  time you move so don't be wandering all over the board.  Once I    understood the scor‚Fےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے        SPEEDING UP PRINTMASTER    Previous articles in the IEAUG newsletter were based on operating from disc drives. It was possible to greatly enhancethe ease of use when the programs were consolidated onto a 3+ inch    drive. Thus all PRINTMASTEdisc.    Even so, the Printmaster program still behaved as though we were  using a two-disc system because it would often request that we insert the other disc. Fortunately, all we had to do at thatprompt was to hit the carriage return. But always we were operating   from the A:Drive, even when we were "inserting the other disc".    This was a stroke of blind luck for most of us, because the set   up we were using (insofar as drives was concerned) was the same as it was when we first started using the needed Printmaster files from a disc to the RAM drive and start operating. It is nice to be able to have all of the files   on one drive, and many of us have been doing that for some time with  a 3+ inch drive. The problem arises with the SET.UP pro- gram that    Printmaster uses. To explain this, let's go back a bit.    Do you recall the first time you set up Printmaster for your      particular ADAM? One of the first things you had to do was to select  a printer. Unison World made a provision for changi choice, Printmaster stored that choice in it's memory and never asked you again. That's just fine, it you keep the same set up from then    on. But what happens when the operating drive is to be the RAM drive  instead of the A:Drive?    When I first wanted to do that, I immediately ran up against a    brick wall. In CP/M my RAM drive was the M:Drive. But that prompt     above doesn't provide the M:Drive as an option. It only goes from A   through H!    That ended that great idea. If I was going to oper discs in and out of the drive. At  best, that was often confusing and at worst, it didn't work at all.   It really paid one to arrange the files on these various discs for    the greatest convenience. Not only was the Kaypro version a two-disc  setup, the Kaypro used a double sided disc whereas mostADAMs were single sided. This was tantamount to a four disc system!   However, most of us managed to get by somehow. It was a blessed       relief when was were able to put Printmaster on a 3+ in single sided  R programs resided on just one disc. It     would be great if the files could be placed in theRAM drive and operated from there. Of course, the RAM drive would     require at least 512k of memory.    The greatest advantage in operating from the RAM Drive is the     increase in speed. For those who have managed to operate their        PRINTMASTERH from the RAM drive, this increase in speed is  nothing   short of magic!    However, it is not always a simple straight-forward operation to  dump all of the 4 disc system on the 5, inch      drives.    When one uses Printmaster for the first time, there are several   setup procedures one had to get out of the way. These were one-time   operations. Once it was set up, one was never asked to repeat that    setup. You may recall, that immediately after you initiated Print-    master with this command:A>PM  <CR>    You were presented with this prompt:Which drive is your data drive? (A-H)    You only saw this prompt one time. After you had made your       ng the printer     selection because they realized that many people would be changing    their printers from time to time. However, they didn'tcount on people changing their computers while still using the same   old Printmaster programs. In fact, the ADAM users had to make some    very drastic adaptations to Printmaster just to get it to work on the ADAM. Most of us have been using the Kaypro two-disc version which we set up for the ADAM. Before the advent of the 3+ inchdrive, we had to constantly switchate out of the  M:drive, I would still need to have all of my Printmaster data files  on the A:Drive. So what advantage was there if I had to con- stantly  plow back through a disc drive to find the various fonts, graphics    and borders? NONE! It wasn't until TDOS came along where the RAM      drive could be designated the E:Drive or, with some advanced          planning, it could be the A:Drive. In either case, these choices were within the options given by Printmaster (A through H).    This opening of  Tony Morehen had this  in     mind when he incorporated this option in TDOS. But what if the        option of making the RAM drive before or after the other drives  had  not been available under TDOS? Without a lot of understanding  about  Printmaster, there is nothing that one could do.    Remember that we originally installed Printmaster with the        A:drive designated to be the data drive; once we had made that        choice, we were stuck with it. Not very considerate of Unison World   but that's ts needed files on the RAM drive because   the RAM drive was designated the E:Drive. This remained a hopeless    situation for me until Gord Cook pointed out that I could designate   the RAM drive as the A:Drive. That was a solution, sortof!    Yes, I could create a 3+ inch disc with the TDOS system, but this dedicated Printmaster disc had to be initialized under TDOS so that   my RAM drive came BEFORE my other drives. Now this wasnecessary in order for the RAM drive to be designated the A:Drive.    Butelection is "SET.UP". The information is stored there is a manner    not readily apparent to the user. But with a disassembler, such as    DU-V87 or JKL Utilities you will be able to see how the system is     presently configured, and to change the settings with ease.    Here is a typical disassembly of a SET.UP file that I use a great deal:00 00000000 04000000 00004C51 31353030 *..........LQ1500* 10 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *................*20 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *.........s still the A:Drive as it has been from the first    time I used my Printmaster. If I wanted to use the RAM drive, I       needed to create a dedicated disc for just that use. This disc must   designate the RAM drive as the A:Drive. All that remained to be done  was to copy all of the Printmaster files to the RAM Drive (A:Drive).    As it turned out, this worked pretty well. This was due to  the   felicitous coincidence that the  RAM drive under TDOS could  be       designated as the A:Drive. I doubt thatthe RAM drive was not available to me under CP/M. I used Printmaster for several years before I ever tried TDOS. As it  turned out, my first use of TDOS still didn't function from the RAM   drive. It just stalled out! In retrospect, it is easy to understand   why that was.    When I had first installed Printmaster, I had opted for the       A:Drive as my data drive. But when I first set up my RAM drive under  TDOS the RAM drive turned out to be the E:Drive. Thus Printmaster was never able to find any of ithe way it was, and is. About the only option open to us   is to haul out our unconfigured, pristine original Printmaster and    install it all over again from scratch. That might not be so bad, if  we consider the results to be worth it. There are a great many        situations where the data drive needs to be changed. If we could just reset Printmaster without having to go to all that trouble we would   have a more versatile program.    The file that contains the printer selection and the data drive   s if I did that, I could no longer use this disc in the usual way,  DDDDthat is, I couldn't operate Printmaster from this disc, because   this disc designates the RAM drive as the A:Drive, whereas all of my  Printmaster files would now be on the disc which is designated the B:Drive.    Oh, I could still keep the original disc where the disc was the   A:Drive and I could run Printmaster as I have been doing for years.   It didn't matter if I was using TDOS or CP/M, because in both cases   the data drive wa.......* 30 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 * ...............*40 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *................* 50 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *................*60 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *................* 70 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *................*    Notice that the value of byte 04 is (coincidentally) 04. Also     note that the value of byte 06 is 00. These two bytes are  important  in identifying the data drive. Also note that the printer selection is intmaster to an unused configuration. Then   when we run Printmaster, we will get the prompt to select the data    drive.    Under CP/M we have a rigid set of drive arrangements. If we cold  boot from Drive # 1, that will be the A:Drive and Drive # 2 will be   the B:Drive. Our RAM drive will always be the M:Drive. On the other   hand, if we cold boot from Drive # 2, then it will bethe A:Drive. The default drive is always the A:Drive. It may be that  both drives are 160K drives or both could be 720K drive4    back to 00. Now that we know that this particular SET.UP has been     initialized, what drive has been selected? We can find that in byte   06. In the example above, that value is 00. This is the value for the A:Drive. If it had been initialized for the B:Drive, that value would be 01. 02 means the C:Drive; 03 means the D:Drive; 04 means the       E:Drive and so on. When the SET.UP file has not been initialized, the value of byte 06 is 00.    If we were using TDOS where the RAM drive had been initialthe B:Drive and the RAM drive is the        E:Drive. We could then operate a disc that has all of the Print-      master files from the A:Drive (Drive # 1) with great success.    As you know, Printmaster comes in a few varieties itself. There   is the old regular Printmaster and there is Printmaster Plus and      these don't always function the same. Many people have found that     Printmaster Plus is preferred because it can be initialized to use    the arrow keys to move the cursor. Older versions use Cdata drive had been selected and byte 06   would be 00. If we now copied this Printmaster disc to the RAM drive  we would find that it couldn't function, because Printmaster would be looking for the data in the A:Drive instead of the E:Drive where the  data actually resided.    It is completely feasible to use this arrangement if we use       DU-V87 to change the SET.UP file on the E:Drive. DU-V87 functions     perfectly on the RAM drive. If we change bytes 04 and 06 to 00, we    will, in effect, reset Prfiled here and in this case it is the EPSON      LQ1500. If it is desired to make a different printer selection,  it   could be done here, but fortunately Unison World makes that  change   easy in the first prompt following the data drive selection.    The byte in position 04 above indicates that a selection has been made for the data drive. If this was an uninstalled SET.UP file, that value in byte 04 would be 00.  And if we wish to resetthe SET.UP file, all we have to do is to change that value from 0s. We may have a hybrid arrangement where one drive is 720K and the other 160K. The  720K drive could be either Drive # 1 or Drive # 2. ButTDOS can be initialized so that Drive # 1 is the A: drive or the      B:Drive or the C:Drive. The RAM Drive might be the A:Drive or the     D:Drive or the E: Drive depending upon how we configured the system.  This versatility can lead to devastating results in Printmaster!    For example, we could cold boot the system such that Drive # 1 is the A:Drive, Drive # 2 is ized as the data drive, the SET.UP file might show that the data drive is 04. This would be the case when the TDOS system is configured for two     disc drives and two data drives and the RAM drive comes AFTER the     other drives thus designating the RAM drive as E:Drive.    If we had been using a TDOS system that was configured for the    RAM drive to be the E:Drive and we had been using this disc to run    Printmaster from the A:Drive, the SET.UP file would have stored 04 in byte 04, indicating that a ontrol-L,      Control-H, Control-J and Control-K to perform these functions. But    some people have found Printmaster Plus to fail to use the Fonts. I   have configured the original Printmaster to use the arrow keys  and I have no problems with fonts. Sort of the best of both versions of Printmaster. That was under CP/M. But then I  encountered very strange behavior when I used TDOS with this system.   The specially configured version I made worked perfectly under     CP/M. If I cold booted my system  the entire Printmaster set of files to the RAM drive.    Under TDOS, I sometimes do this with the built in COPY pro- gram. But at other times I have used PIP (or PPIP) to copy the files to the RAM drive. Occasionally the COPY program will copy a fileerratically. This happens most often to one of the SDR files, such as SLIB.SDR or ULIB.SDR. Since the SDR files are text files, it is easy  to check them out by simply typing them to the screen. If they are    corrupted, it will be readily seen.    But worse Printmaster as I normally do. When I get the prompt to select the     data drive, I naturally select "B" because that is where the data     files are now located.    Printmaster now runs OK except that the arrow keys that I had     formerly used to move the cursor no longer function. I can move the   cursor with the old Control-L, K, J and H keys but the arrow keys are dead. Bear in mind that the Printmaster disc is the very same one     that I used before under CP/M and TDOS where the default drive was t is merely an     inconvenience but I would like to know why this happens. And I would  be curious if others have encountered this problem. As I noted, I     have an idea that my particular RAM drive is the culprit. But I am    not ruling out TDOS as somehow being to blame.    I still consider Printmaster to be one of ADAM's outstanding      programs and it is much better when operated from the RAM drive.Thomas J. KeeneIEAUG to run Printmaster from the RAM  drive, you must be sure to configure your TDOS system so that the RAM drive is the A:Drive or you use DU-V87 to reset your SET.UP file so   that your RAM Drive is the data drive (A-H).   I have personally encountered a couple of other problems when I    used the Printmaster program from the RAM drive. Others may not run   into this problem I am about to describe. I still tend to think that  the 1 Meg RAM drive I use is to blame. This remains to be ver- ified. I first copywith TDOS which treated Drive #1 as  the A:drive and Drive # 2 and the B:drive (and the RAM drive was the  E:Drive, although I wasn't using the RAM drive at this time),         Printmaster operated exactly as it had under CP/M. But if I cold      booted the TDOS system with a disc which initialized the RAM drive as the A:Drive and Drive # 1 as the B:Drive and Drive # 2 as the C:Drive I encountered a problem. I put that very same disc withPrintmaster files into Drive # 1 (now the B:Drive) and invoked        that this, even though I get a good copy, I have found  that with repeated use of the SDR file while running Print- master,   the file became corrupted all on its own. This is a very common       occurrence. Often this corruption is immediately obvious because the  screen directory of the graphics will be seen to be amess. This is more of an aggravation than a serious flaw. When I      encounter this, I just recopy the SDR file to the RAM drive and       proceed. It takes but a few seconds to recopy, so i   the A:Drive. The Printmaster files are the very same ones, but they   function unpredictably when a different TDOS system is used. I have   no idea why this might be. I surely would not have expected this to   occur. But then I have frequently found TDOS to appear to be erratic. I will admit that if it weren't for TDOS I would never be able to run Printmaster from the RAM drive. And take it from me,Printmaster is 4super fast5 when operated from the RAM drive. But     always bear in mind that if you plan‚Cےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے -THE PRESIDENT SAYS- You are the proud owner of an ADAM computer.  You frequently use  it as a word processor to write letters, make notes, etc.  Once    in a while you even stick one of your game cartridges into the     game slot and play for a whildisc.    Even so, the Printmaster program still behaved as though we were  using a two-disc system because it would often request that we insert the other disc. Fortunately, all we had to do at thatprompt was to hit the carriage return. But always we were operating   from the A:Drive, even when we were "inserting the other disc".    This was a stroke of blind luck for most of us, because the set   up we were using (insofar as drives was concerned) was the same as it was when we first started using the an do just about anything  you can think of.  We can even send you a disk or tape copy of     that lost SMARTBASIC program. I have spent many hours upgrading programs that were already in   the PD Library when I took it over.  I have found many additional  programs that I have since added to the library.  There are        games, graphics, data bases, finance programs, utilities, and so   much more to help you do whatever needs done. Learning the basics of using computers is so much easier when     you hinting LOGO        screens:CG CLEARGRAPHICS leaving text untouchedCT CLEARTEXT leaving graphics untouchedCS CLEARSCREEN of both text and graphics PRINTER Turns printer onNOPRINTER Turns printer offSAVE "filename Saves the workspace (not the graphics) to a file    SAVEPICT "filename Saves the graphics (not the text) to a file.

Not only was the Kaypro version a two-disc  setup, the Kaypro used a double sided disc whereas mostADAMs were single sided. This was tantamount to a four disc system!   However, most of us managed to get by somehow. It was a blessed       relief when was were able to put Printmaster on a 3+ in single sided  e.  It's relaxing, but you don't  do  it very often since you have grown tired of the few cartridges     you own.  And, you've lost the SMARTBASIC program you used to      have stored on tape somewhere. If this is all that you do with your ADAM, you are not using the  computer anywhere near its capacity.  ADAM can do so much more     for you, if you let it.  Our Public Domain Library is a terrific   source of inexpensive programs for your ADAM.

I'm going to get it into print so I'll know where   to find it when I want it again. Some useful commands for those interested in prave a library of PD programs to help you along the way.       What makes them even more of a bargain is their price.  Get out    your Library listing and take a look.  Pick out something you      would like to learn, and send for it. If you have kept track of your newsletters, you know that every   month we have a review on Page 2 of one of the volumes of          programs in our library.  On Page 2, we also report all the        recent additions to that library.

The turtle is not saved, buts its "footprint"   is now part of the saved picture.  Note that a turtle cannot       STAMP unless it has its PENDOWN, abbreviated PD. Try these procedures:TO SHOWSHAPESCS TELL ALL HTTELL 1 ST PURT 90 BK 100MAKE "N 0SHOWONERT 90 FD 50ENDTO SHOWONEMAKE "N :N + 1SETSHAPE :NFD 20 PD STAMP PUIF :N < 10 [SHOWONE] choice, Printmaster stored that choice in it's memory and never asked you again. That's just fine, it you keep the same set up from then    on. But what happens when the operating drive is to be the RAM drive  instead of the A:Drive?    When I first wanted to do that, I immediately ran up against a    brick wall. In CP/M my RAM drive was the M:Drive. But that prompt     above doesn't provide the M:Drive as an option. It only goes from A   through H!    That ended that great idea. If I was going to operrint Out ProcedureS.  Turn the printer off with NOPRINTER. You can save the procedures to tape or disk using the SAVE        command, which requires a name preceded by a quotation mark.       Graphics are neither printed nor saved. To save the graphics use the command SAVEPICT.  Clear the text    first:  CT SAVEPICT "filename.  I am indebted to Frances for the   advice about using CT on the same line as the SAVEPICT command.    The text is cleared.  Then the screen is saved.  Finally, the      command i when you pull the reset switch or in CP/M when you  hit     Control-P (^P).  Sometimes, after a while, it may straighten  up.   The problem is almost invariably in the microswitch that the        printhead activates when it reaches the leftmost end of its         travel.  This encounter opens the microswitch which is normally  in the closed position. As a rule, microswitches are a high reliability component, but     they can malfunction; a lot depends upon the manufacturer.          Trademarked switches  of finding the    details. If you have no idea what you are looking for I would suggest      starting with the Table of Contents rather than the Index.

You might use such a procedure   to produce a chart showing all the turtle shapes. The shapes below the line of shapes is the turtle.  Type HT and   only this one disappears.  Type ST and it is back. You can print the procedures by turning on the printer (using     the command PRINTER) and printing out SHOWSHAPES and SHOWONE.      One way to do this is by using the command POPS, which stands for  P‚Dےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے TECHNOTE 29 ADAM PRINTER MALFUNCTION Have you ever had this problem? When you first turn on your  ADAM, the printer head moves to the left, the daisy wheel spins  and      spins and spins and spins and nothing happens.  The same  thing     happenss printed on the already-saved screen. You can print this picture file using PowerPAINT.  The 11th       shape, remember, is the turtle and will not be there. Jerry also asked me how to change the drive.  LOGO uses the       command SETDEVICE which must be followed by a number from 0 to 5   where 0 and 1 are the tapes and 4 and 5 are the disks.  I suppose  the engineers had their reasons. All of this IS in the LOGO book.  It is a lovely book, but you    have to know most of the answer to have any hopeare usually good for millions of operations.   However, the switch Coleco used in this function is a nondescript   component. Replacing this switch will correct this malfunction in almost      every case.  It is easy to remove and no disassembly of the         printer is necessary to get at it.  Some soldering is involved,     but any twelve-year-old would have no trouble with this.PROCEDURE: First turn off the power to the printer.  To be completely safe,   you may remove the ADAM from the A.C.  powe      that the contact lever is pointing to the front of the printer      (away from the platen).  If you had noticed the switch position  as you removed it (which I advised) you will encounter no problem  at  all.  It is a trifle awkward getting the screws in, but you  should have no real problem. I have fixed several printers that had become slow to start, and   this simple procedure has effected a 100% cure.Thomas J.  KeeneIEAUGe microswitch you just removed is rated at 3 amps at 125 volts   A.C.  Your replacement switch should resemble the original switch   as closely as possible.  Most complete electronic supply houses     will be able to match your switch physically.  I strongly           recommend that you replace it with a 5 amp switch.  There is        virtually no difference in price.  The hole positions are pretty    much universally standardized, but it is a good idea to bring  your old switch with you when you buy the nees subdivision.    Coming from the North, take I-75 south to exit 35, continue West on   Jacaranda Blvd to it's end and turn left on Route 776.

An almost exact replacement is the SONY part number 1-      516-309-00.  It runs about $3.00 and is of outstanding quality. Next solder the two wires to the COMMON and NC positions on the    switch.  Then replace the switch in the printer.  Just be surer source altogether.     With a small Phillips head screwdriver, loosen the two screws       holding the microswitch.  Use care not to drop the screws into  the printer.  NOTE THE POSITION OF THE SWITCH.  Lift it out so  that    you may remove the switch.  You may desolder the two wires  but     there is plenty of wire, so I recommend clipping the wires up       close to the switch with a small pair of wire cutters (dikes).      Next, remove about 1/8 inch of insulation from the end of the two   wires. Th‚Lےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے              The SOUTHWEST FLORIDA ADAM USERS GROUP                            WILL MEET ON:  MONDAY, March 21, 1994 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the Blair's house  Directions:   The Blair's house is located just north of Englewood in   Englewood Islw one.

But the pendulum is now swinging the other way,     and we are losing more members than we are gaining in new          members.
