Repair many of the broken         machines that you find. And then figure out why everyone is  missing. Let's get started.  Deck Nine - All you have to do is keep waiting until the     explosion - stay here - you'll be entertained (randomly) by  the Ambassador from Blow' K- bibben-Gordo. After the ship    explodes immediately go Port. Get in the  Webbing. Wait --   until the Pod lands and the Emergency Kit appears. Get out   of Webbing. Take kit. Open Door. Go up. Keep going up unhen go east till    you get to Booth 2. In Booth 2 drop the Laser and the        pliers. Then go west to the elevator lobby and push both     buttons. Then go west till you get to the Corridor Junction. (If you're hungry, open the kit and enjoy a treat of goo.)   From the Corridor Junction, go south then go east. Take the  box. Then go back to the Booth 2. Drop the box. Then go back to the Corridor Junction.  Now go north to the Administration Corridor, go north and    south between the South AdministratiYou might want to     save the goo in the kit for emergencies. Just go back to the kitchen and refill your canteen when you need to. But don't  forget to drop the kitchen card in the Mess Hall.  Go to the Upper Elevator. Slide the upper card through the   slot. Push the up button. Wait. When the elevator door opens go south then go northeast to the Comm Room. Pay attention   to the color of the flashing light. This will be the same    color koulant that you'll have to get in the Machine Room.   Go back to key. Drop the padlock and the key and open the door. Drop    everything except your uniform. Take the ladder and go back  to the Administration Corridor. Drop the ladder. Open the    ladder. Put ladder over the rift. Then go north over the     ladder. Then go west into the offices. Open the drawers in   the desks and take the kitchen card, the shuttle card, and   the upper elevator card. By this time you should be getting  tired. It's important that you find a place to sleep that is safe. Go back to the Do three lights in all). This will fix the Comm      Room. You can drop the flask since you won't be needing it   any more. Now go back downstairs to the elevator lobby.      Don't forget to drop the upper card in the upper elevator.   Eat if you have to, but try to only eat from the canteen. If the canteen needs to be filled, do it now.  Go to the lower elevator. Slide the lower card through the   slot. Then push the down button. Wait. Drop the lower card   and take the shuttle access card. When the elevatu'll be O.K. Go back inside the Mess Hall and drop the     Kitchen access card. Now go back to the Machine Room. From   the Machine Room, go east to the Robot Room.  Search the robot. Then turn it on. Go to the elevator lobby. Go south inside the lower elevator and drop the lower card   and the shuttle card. Then go to the upper elevator. By this time your valuable friend Floyd should be bugging you for    attention and loving. Eat when you are hungry...it's better  to eat from your canteen than the kit. on Corridor and the      Adminstration Corridor until you see the glint of light      (random). Then search the crevice in the Administration      Corridor South. Hold the bar near the key (it's a magnet)    and bingo...you got it. (If you don't get the key the game   can't even begin.) Now drop the bar once you have the key.   (If the bar comes in contact with any of the cards you'll    find that they get scrambled--something you will regret.)    Now go to the Mess Corridor. Unlock the padlock with the     the elevator, activate the elevator and go        downstairs to the Machine  Room. Fill the flask. Push the    same color button as the flashing light in the Comm Room,    then take the flask.  Go back to the Comm Room and empty the flask in the hole.    Pay attention to the new color light. Take the flask back    downstairs to the Machine Room and push the new colored      light koulant code. Take the filled flask back upstairs and  empty the flask in the hole again.

Go south into the Mess Hall. Take the canteen and  open it up. Slide the kitchen card  through the slot and go  south. Put the canteen under the spout and push the button.  Take the canteen. You've now found an unlimited source of    food. Just make sure that you keep your canteen filled and   yoor stops    get out by going north. Then go east. Go south and then go   east. Slide the shuttle card through the slot. Push the      lever up. Do it again. Wait until the display says 60. Then  push the lever down. Again. Wait until the shuttle slides    into the station.  Go west and drop the shuttle card. Go north, then go east.   Go east again. At the fork go southeast to the Project       Corridor West. Go east to the Project Corridor. Then go      south to the Projcon Office. Go east to the Computerit, open the door, close the door. Floyd will be out of commission. Take the    card and sing your song about the legend of Starcross. Go    back to Booth 3. By now it's late in the day and time for    rest. Once in  Booth 3, slide the teleportation card through the slot and push the beige button. If you still have time   before you rest, go ahead and fill your canteen in the       kitchen, then go to sleep in the dorm area.  By now you're starting to feel pretty sick. If you didn't    get a chance last nry Lobby. Play with the machine if you want. It's very good for clues about the whys of the     story, and a lot of fun to translate. But time is of the     essence. Go east to Booth 3. Slide the card through the slot and push the beige button.  Zap!!! You find yourself back in Booth 2. Take a look        around; everything you put inside the Booth is waiting for   you. Slide the card through the slot again and this time     push the tan button. Wheeeeee! Now you and your supplies are back in Booth 3. TakAt Station 384   go east to the Strip near the station. Then go north to the  Strip near the relay. Look inside the relay. Make sure that  your laser is set to 1. Fire the laser at the speck. Keep on doing that until the speck is no more. Once that's done,     turn the dial on the laser to 6. Now head back south. Oh no! A killer  microbe.  Fire the laser at the microbe. Keep firing until you find    yourself holding a HOT laser. Once the laser is HOT, throw   the laser over the side. The microbe will follgo     north. When he comes back, tell Floyd to take the Fromitz.   Go back to the Systems Corridor. Then go north to the        Planetary Defense. Open the panel. Take the second board.    Put the shiny Fromitz in the socket. Close panel. You have   now completed the middle portion of the game. Eat when you   have to. Now go to the Main Lab.  Open the Bio-Lock, go southeast then go east. Make sure that Floyd is with you. He'll volunteer for an important mission; let him. Open the door, close the door, wa Room.   Take the output and read the output. (By the way make sure   that Floyd joins you in the Computer Room.) With Floyd go    south. Then go north until the Project Corridor east. Then   go east to the Main Lab. From the Lab go south.  Search the lab uniform pocket and take the card and the      paper and the battery. The paper has the clue for opening up the combination lock in the Rec Corridor (a puzzle that      you'll never need). Go back to the Project Corridor East.    Then go north to the Libraight to fill your canteen, you'd better   do that now. Head down to the Booth 2. Do your teleportation routine. Drop the teleport card, and make certain that you   have the miniaturization card. Take the laser with the new   battery. Go to the miniaturization booth. Slide the card     through the slot then type 384 (that was the number from the computer output).  Please do a game save at this point because you won't be     able to waste any moves after this.  You have shrunk down to the size of a chip. e the pliers and the bedistor. Go west.  Then go  north. Then go north again to the Course Control.   Open the cube. Remove the fused bedistor with the pliers.    Drop the fused bedistor and the pliers. Take the good        bedistor and put it in the cube. Close the cube.                       PLANETFALL               PART THREE Go to Systems Corridor West. Go down into the Repair Room.   Make certain that Floyd is with you here. If he's not, just  wait and he'll turn up. When Floyd shows, tell him to ow the laser   and vanish to its death. Now head back to the Booth. From    the Auxiliary Booth go north to the Lab this point (this     will be your last chance to take a rest).  Search the desk, then take and wear the gas mask. Push the   red button. Open the door. Go west into the Bio Lab. Open    the lab door. Go west to the Biolock west. Open the Bio-lock and go west into the Main Lab. Run back to the Projcon       office. Go south into the Cryo-elevator. Push the Button.    Whewww!! Just wait a litt's    quarters. Listen to the bird as you lift the wall hanging,   revealing a key. Now examine the desk and open the drawer.   Inside are several items, but the only useful one is the     journal. Use the key to unlock the journal, then read it.    Make *careful* note of the day's code!!  Go East to the hall again, South once, and West into         Helistar's room. Here you will find a scroll of Gaspar. Take and Gnusto the scroll, then head back to the hall, and South to the Lobby. By this time, you've px	Ell, but you can't do much until Fweep wears off. So wait around until you're human again.  As soon as you pick up the scroll, the maze layout will change. Oops! Now wh                        Sorcerer              Part I Well, you took care of Krill and returned to the Guild Hall  in triumph, but things don't look good for you at the        moment. Not when you're standing there facing the slavering  jaws of a vicio    yourself in the Room of Living Death, which is MOST          unpleasant, and from which there is no escape.  So, now's the time to get a move on! Head down into the      Cellar, where the trunk is. There are five buttons on the    trunk, and each one is a different color. The sequence to    open the trunk is keyed to the code of the day in the        journal, and will change with each game. The code itself is  the colors of a monster from the Infotater. Whatever monster was noted in the journal, look ind. So unless you're told specifically to take an item,    you can safely ignore it.  Now, head along South down the hall until you reach the      Lobby. Go West into the Store Room, and pick up the Ochre    Vial and the matchbook. Open the vial and drink the potion,  which will prevent you from becoming hungry and thirsty.     Drop the now-empty vial. Read the matchbook if you like,     then return East and place the matchbook in the receptacle.  Moving North twice, and West once, brings you to Belbozle bit and now all will come clear. The game is over. You are a hero! And all is well in the     universe until your next adventure!  Please note that it is possible to finish the game in less   than 2-1/2 days. But why rush it!! more. Once that's done,     turn the dial on the laser to 6. Now head back south. Oh no! A killer  microbe.  Fire the laser at the microbe. Keep firing until you find    yourself holding a HOT laser. Once the laser is HOT, throw   the laser over the side. The microbe will follrobably heard the        doorbell chime, which means the mail's in. Open the          receptacle, and inside is an issue of Popular Enchanting and an Orange Vial. Get the vial, then go East into the Library.  There is a scroll of Meef here. Get and Gnusto that one.     Now, it's time to leave this place. If you've played the     game before, you know that if you try going out the main     entrance, you will be stopped. You may also know that if you DON'T get out, you will eventually fall asleep and find  us hellhound! Fortunately for you, this time, it's only a dream, so just wait, and you will wake up in     your room in the Guild Hall. Whew!  However, it's a bit dark in here, so Frotz your spellbook,   get up, and head West into the hallway. Read the note on     your door if you like, although it's not all that important. It just lets you know you are here alone. Now's a good a     time as any to tell you that not all the spells you know     will be useful in the game, nor all the potions you will     fit up on the Infotater, and   make note of its colors, and what order they are in. Save    the game (just in case, because if you make even one little  error, you will not be able to open the trunk!!), then press the buttons in the proper order as given in the Infotater.   If you've done it right, the trunk lid will spring open by   itself after you push the last button. If the trunk does not open, restore the game and try again.  Ok, so now you have the moldy scroll of Aimfiz, which is one of those complnusto it. Then get the bat guano, but      leave the vial; it has no use in the game. Now go down the   hole, and you will be at the Pit of Bones. If you go South,  you will find the Torture Chamber, which has another useless potion, so go Southwest into the Dungeon instead. From here, go up into the Ruins.  Learn Izyuk again, then go West across the drawbridge        (careful, don't fall  in!!), then West again to the Meadow,  where you now cast Izyuk on yourself. You have time to do    that and move bef: to the same forest you were dreaming of at the     start of the game. And there's the Hellhound, too! And this  time, it's no dream! You better not wait around this time,   so immediately head Northeast to the Forest Edge.  Here you will find a Snake Hole, as well as paths North and  East. The North path is mined with magical mines. This is a  red herring in the game, as there is no way to go safely     along the path. You can ignore it without fear of missing    something important. The Snake Hole is aEast into the Parade Ground.  There is a flag at the top of a tall flagpole; lower the     flag and search it. You will find an Aqua Vial. Take that,   it will come in handy later.  Now, go East again, and you will be at the cannon. If you    look inside, you will see what appears to be a pile of       scrolls. Actually, they are not scrolls at all, but a group  of Yipples, peacefully sleeping in the barrel. However,      there IS one real scroll in there, and you will need it      later. So, drop the bato the Chasm Edge, then Izyuk and fly  back across.  Now go back the way you came, all the way to the Forest      Edge. This time, go East to the Meadow (don't stop to admire scenery; those are MEAN locusts on the horizon!), then       Northeast to the Riverbank. Learn the Pulver spell, then     Pulver the river. It will dry up, and you can move East into the river, where you will see a small cave to the Northeast. Go there.  Inside, you will find several items. Get the scroll with the Fweep spell, and Gex ones that you can only use once. Actually,  you only need to use it once, so that's no problem. All you  have to do is figure out which person you want to exchange   places with. Since there aren't too many choices, it won't   take you long to discover it's none other than Belboz        himself. So, Aimfiz Belboz, and you're out of the Hall and   on your way to visiting Jeear!                           Sorcerer             Part II Ok, so now you're out of the Hall, but look where the spell  took youore the locusts arrive. Once you're flying, go Northeast to the Riverbank, and this time, Southeast to   the Fort Entrance. You need to use Izyuk because the river   bank has a distressing tendency to crumble after the first   visit.  Around about now, you're probably feeling sleepy. Don't      worry about it, just lie down and sack out for awhile. You   may or may not have a strange dream. Ignore any dreams, as   they are just "for show", and have no important clues to the game. When you waken again, go nother matter, so    climb down into it, and then down again to the Slimy Room,   and South from there into the Crater.  Go West to the Chasm's Edge. You can't jump across the       chasm, but flying over is no problem. Learn Izyuk twice,     cast it on yourself once. Now just go  West twice and you    will be on the other side. Go North, and you will be in a    room with what appears to be a tree of coins. However,       that's an illusion, and you will only be able to get one     coin. Take it, return t guano into the barrel, and the       Yipples will take off, leaving the real scroll, with the     Yonk spell for you to take.  You are now just about finished above ground. Return to the  entrance, learn Izyuk twice, and fly Northwest to the River  Bank, and SouthWest to the meadow. Here you should Izyuk     again (the drawbridge is like the river bank) and go East    twice to the Ruins.                          Sorcerer             Part III From the Ruins, go down into the Dungeon, down again to th the Arch again. Whew!!  Again, wait around till the spell wears off, then pick up    everything and go to the hut. In the fireplace, you will see the Swanzo scroll. Gnusto the spell, and then take a nap,    because by now you're tired again.  Awakening refreshed, leave the hut and head on back to the   Toll Gate. The Gnome is still here, and still asleep, so     now's your chance: search him, and you will find your        Zorkmid! All right! Now, keep going West until you come to   the Bend, where you it the first time is quite easy; getting out again is quite  another matter. There are two ways back, the long and hard way, or the quick and dirty way. If you want   to go the easy route, learn Gaspar once and Fweep once, then Gaspar yourself right now. If you want do to it the hard     way, learn Fweep three times.  Ok, drop everything here, go East into the Maze, and Fweep   yourself. Now fly along the following route: North, East,    South, South, West, Down, East, East, North, North, Up, Up,  South, u reach the end of the Midway, and then go      South into the Arcade.  Open the Aqua Vial, drink the potion, then drop the vial.    You are now dexterous enough to win a prize, so take the     ball and throw it at a bunny. POW! Direct hit! As the bunny  goes flying, the hawker will give you a glittering scroll of Malyon. You don't need to Gnusto this   one, as it will be used only once, and very soon.  Now leave the park, and once back in the tunnel, go south    and you will be in the Carving Room. On. However, the    Gaspar spell will activate, and your Guardian Angel will     restore you to life at the spot the spell was cast, which in this case was the Glass Arch.  However, if you want to do it the hard way, then here's how: Fweep  yourself, then fly the following route: West, West,   South, Down, Down, West, West, Up, Up, North, North, Down,   East. At about this point, the spell will wear off. Fweep    again, and continue: South, East, North, Down, West, South,  West, Up, West, and you're back ate  Highway, and then East to the Toll Gate and the sleeping     Gnome. Wake him up and give him your Zorkmid. He'll open the gate, then promptly fall asleep again. Go East through the   gate.  Ignore the store; that's another red herring in the game.    Continue East to the End of the Highway. There's a hut here, but we won't be looking in there just now. Instead, go North to the Entrance Hall, and then North again to the Glass      Arch. You are about to enter the infamous Glass Maze.  Getting through head Southwest to the Edge of the        Crater, then Down into the crater itself. From there, move   along South into the North/South tunnel, and the Southwest   to the Amusement Park Entrance.                           Sorcerer             Part IV Try to go West, and a Gnome will appear and demand a         Zorkmid. Give him your coin, and then proceed West into the  park. Of all the places here, only one is important: the     Arcade. Everything else is pretty much for show. So, keep on West until yoEast and you're now at the Hollow. Here you will find the Swanzp scroll, but you can't do much until Fweep wears   off. So wait around until you're human again.  As soon as you pick up the scroll, the maze layout will      change. Oops! Now what? Well, first, drop the scroll down    the hole (it's the chimney of the little hut). Now what you  do next depends on how you decided to get back out. If you   opted for quick and dirty, walk West, West, South, East, and you will fall through the Maze and splattere carving looks like  a dragon, and that's the one you want. First, Yonk Malyon.   Then, learn Malyon. Finally, Malyon Dragon. The souped-up    spell brings the Dragon to life! Good thing for you it's not permanent, or you might have been fried to a crisp! In any   case, there is now a passage South through the wall. Take    that into the Sooty Room.  Now you're about to enter the most bizarre part of the game. Open the  Orange Vial. Frotz yourself. Go East into the Coal Bin room. There will be a cave-in rn to shore.  Drop and open the crate. Inside, among other things, is a    can of grue repellant. Get that, and walk Northeast along    the Ocean Shore and North to the Mouth of the River. There   is a cave to the West, it's entrance covered by              nasty-looking vines. Meef the vines, and Vardik yourself.  Now, spray the repellant on yourself and enter the cave.     Wow! Grues are everwhere, and they don't fear the light!!    Fortunately though, the repellant still works. However, I    wouldn't    your Twin just gave you. This is also a variable number and  will change from game to game. Then open the door, and go    into the Shaft Bottom. Get the rope. Make sure that you have nothing with you now but that rope. If you have anything     else, drop it.  Climb up to the Shaft Top. Go Southwest into the mine. A     timber is here (doesn't that bring back fond memories of     Zork?). Tie the rope to the timber, then continue on         Northwest and West. You are now at the top of the Upper      Chu Hall. Here Belboz announces his            retirement, and names you as the new head of the Circle!     Congratulations, Sorcerer! g    the Ocean Shore and North to the Mouth of the River. There   is a cave to the West, it's entrance covered by              nasty-looking vines. Meef the vines, and Vardik yourself.  Now, spray the repellant on yourself and enter the cave.     Wow! Grues are everwhere, and they don't fear the light!!    Fortunately though, the repellant still works. However, I    wouldn'tion to the Dial Room door. Now    your Twin will give you the spell book, just as you did      earlier (really one of the neater parts of this game!). As   soon as you have the book, go down the Lower Chute to the    Lagoon.  Ah, air again! Take a deep breath, then sleep awhile,        because you're probbaly tired again. Now learn Meef twice,   Swanzo, once drop the spellbook, and go East into the        Lagoon. Dive down to the bottom, and Meef the Spenseweeds,   revealing a crate. Get the crate and retubehind you, so you can't   go back now. In addition, you're having some some trouble    breathing, so drink the orange potion and drop the vial.     Suddenly, your Older Self appears, sliding down from the     Upper Chute! Listen carefully, and your twin will tell you a number. Make careful note of it! Now, hand your spellbook to your Twin, who will take it and dive down the Lower Chute.  Go East to the Dial Room. There is a dial on the door, which can be set to any number from 0-873. Set it to the number advise staying around! So, move along West and you  will come to three doors. Two of them lead to VERY           unpleasant circumstances. You don't want those, so open the  white door.  Inside the room is Belboz, who is possessed by the demon     Jeear. Swanzo Belboz, and the demon will leave him, and      attempt to enter YOUR mind! But the Vardik spell will keep   him out, and, with no host available, he will vanish! Belboz will now regain his senses, and will magic the both of you   back to the Guildte. Put the beam across the chute, then drop the rope     down the chute. Finally, climb down the rope, and you will be in the  Slanted Room.  There is a scroll here, and also an opened lantern. Get the  scroll, and Golmac yourself back in time. Now open the       lantern, and get the Vardik spell. Time is running short, so go East down the chute into the Coal Bin room, where you     will see....your Younger Self!  Now, most important: you must do as your twin did before!

The expression is POKE location, number.FREQUENCY:  Is the Pitch of the note.  The pitch is          determined by how fast the speaker is vibrated.  If it       vibrates 440 times per second, it will produce a pitch       equivalent to middle A.           DURATION:  Means how long each notes is played.Here are the steps to follow:1.

Othertion begins in the left margin of the screen, directly after the lline numbers, or after a         carriage return.Your program is often written so that the statement          immediately preceding the file closing places the cursor     somewhere on the screen other than the left margin.  (A      NEXT, or a MON C,O,L will do this.)  As a result, a heart    followed by a "close...." statement appears on the screen,   followed by the END OF DATA error message.  This problem can be corrected by adding an H      Dragon's LairA Program to read the file.

The result was  either an END OF DATA ERROR, or garbage appearing in your    files.The problem is caused by a safety feature built into         SmartBasic.  As with AppleSoft, SmartBasic uses PRINT        CHR$(4) as a signal to ADAM to change the I/O message to the DData Drives.  But CHR$(4) also can be used to print a heart on the screen.  To help ADAM distinguish which signal is     being used, PRINT CHR$(4) is only interpreted as an I/O      signal when the instrucwise, the printer will print the messages that go out to the data      drive, and all of the question marks.The HTAB fix was contributed by Gary Cornell 20 FOR x = 1 TO 10  30 READ stuff$(x)  40 NEXT x 100 REM **** Write a File called Games 110 PRINT d$; "Open Games" 120 PRINT d$; "Write Games" 130 For x = 1 to 10 140 PRINt stuff$(x) 150 NEXT x 160 HTAB 1 : PRINT d$; "Close Games"1000 DATA Buck Rogers, Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, Tarzan,          Choplifter, Star Trek, AE, Congo Bongo, Telly Turtle,  TAB 1 to the     beginning of the Close File line.160 HTAB 1 : PRINT D$; "close myfile"The Question Marks:  When ADAM reads a data file, it prints  the question mark each time it looks for an Input, resulting in as many question marks as you have data items.  If you    find this aggravating, you can erase the question mark by    adding to the INPUT line:140 INPUT add$(x) : PRINT CHR$(8);This causes the cursor to backspace over the question mark   and rub it out each time it is printed.An examplex	Eto whom we give thanks for this      information.                                IF you get a chance CALL them (Herman Mason is the sysop)    and tell Herman I told you THE FOLLOWING WAS DOWNLOADED FROM THE TRADING POST           216-791-4022   24 hrs.  to whom we give thanks for this      information.                                IF you get a chance CALL them (Herman Mason is the sysop)    and tell Herman I told yor this product shou-- ld go around $399 for the 10 meg, $- 499 for the 20 meg, and $599 for 30 meg (that's right the HD mechanicsare included in these prices...) NEWS AREA Area##     Title                  Source------------------------------------1) FOR SALE or TRADE         HERMAN2) NATIONAL NET (ADAM BBSs)   AWAUG3) SOtakeANY sound (music, voice, whatever)and convert it into data that willallo- w the ADAM to reproduce the s-ounds (even without the digitizer i-nstall- ed)...

Some of the other nice  features of haveing an expander is that you can DL a large file from off the BBS say a "LBR" or a "ARC and if you aren`t lucky enough to have a disk drive to DELIB or DE-Library the LBR file then stand by for a long wait beside your Adam because Adam will DELIB a file at about 64 or 1gs into expansion slot #3 and along with the 256K expander comes (you buy seperately) a paralelle interface which as I`m told acts as a locator for the 256 it tells the 256K where to store in it`s memory all of the Data comming in. As I sit back and watch a file being DL`d into my RAM drive with out stopping it makes me wonder what I did before I got my expander, I guess that I did without, and let me tell you the down-loading time is a lot faster with a expander. For me a 256K is enought space to spower loss or a malfunction with your Adam then you guessed it brother every thing that you have DL`d is more that likely gone and you are going to have to begine again the transferr prosidures all over again so it behooves you as soon as you have finished DL`ng the file(s) then copy it from your RAM drive onto one of your blank tape so that you will not loose what ever it is you have in your RAM drive. Then if you`re working with say a LBR file then go ahead and DELIB it in your RAM drive as it is atic bag that protects the device while in transit you then place the expander into Slot #3 inside Adam and plug it into the existing slot and then the Paralell interface followes in slot #2 after that you`re all set with 256K`ó oæ memorù storagå area(assumeinç thaô yoõ havå purchased a 256K expander if you have gotten the smaller one (64K) this one is just as good as the bigger one but not so much room to store things in, then all that you have to do to call it up is type the line "M:" and wait for as the computer and it`s ROM is conserned and I guess that you`ve found out that a tape drive is very slow but did you know that at your finger tips is a drive that ió É woulä guesó abouô threå tï four times faster than your tape drive, what I`m speaking of is refered to as "M" drive or your RAM drive which brings me to the Expander. The expander can come in many sizes, from the basic 64K all the way up to and I believe includeing 1065K. At the present time I have a 256K expander in my adam it plu28 byte at a time so if you are working with a file that is say about 130K`s that`s I believe about a little over 1000 records, and converting or DELIB`n a file like that is going to take quite a long time especially if you have nothing but a DDP (tape) to work with.  I negelected to add that the RAM drive is a temporary area for all that you copy, so that every thing that you Do copy goes into the RAM drive and by now you have probably guess what I am getting at? You`re right if you should have a tore things that I copy off of a BBS you might want a bigger expander but it all depends on what you do with the space that you have on your RAM drive if you are the type that does a lot of file work and or programming then a 256K or I beleive the next size of expander from the 256K is a 512K and the next one up from that is the big one 1024.  To install a Expander is very simple, all that you have tï dï is¬ beinç verù care- full how you remove it from the plastic bag it is a special bag a Electrostmuch faster, if you have ever watch Adam DELIB a large file onto a tape, Adam will only so much and then will stop and transferr what it has loaded into your Buffer and then onto your tape at about 64k`s at a time. Well If I have Help you deside on weather to buy or not to buy an expander I`m glad if you do get an expander you`ll be better off in the end and your phone will more than likely be a little lower.

There were still two .com files left on the disk. I issued the command DEL *.COM -- and it did - It deleted all of the 57 .com files that were on the B2 section of the HD - a total of 704K. Was I sick?  I started looking for an unerase utility file. I could not find one on my HD so I signed on to the AWAUG BBS did a locate and found a UNERA16.LBR on the Board, downloaded, de-lbr it but no unera.com file in tTHE FOLLOWING FILE WAS DOWNLOADED FROM THE AWAUG BBS 703-922-5497 24 hrs.We appreciate their sharing this information with other adamites.  recover.art  Recovering Deleted Files  Wednesday night, I decided it was about time that I backed up the files on my hard disk as that 20 meg was being filled up pretty fast. In order to save space on the 720k disk I was backing up to, I felt that I should crunch the files first I had read on the BBS that a lzhufenc.com Utility would do the best job of cod issued the command: UNERA30 *.* for the B2 Disk drive. Lo and behold, all 57 next step was to backup all of the files on my HD.  I got the CRUNCH.COM file ,placed it on the B2 HD and crunched a couple of files using a wild card in place of the file name. I then decided to go all HOG and crunch all of the .com files with one command and also copy the files as they were crunched to the 720k dd for the backup copy at the same time -- all with one command: A0:>CRUNCH *.COM E0: and it would CRUNCHe had to be specific identified. Command is lzhufenc dir.com dir.czm also it could only be uncrunched using the file utility lzhudec.com file, uncrunch.com would not work on files compressed by this utility program.  As this was too slow, I decided to use the old standby crunch.com utility. I moved all of the .CZM files off of my backup disk to an empty area on the HD and deleted them from the 720k backup disk.  I located the crunch.com utility and copied it to the HD (B2: section) and before                  lfunction with your Adam then you guessed it brother every thing that you have DL`d is more that likely gone and you are going to have to begine again the transferr prosidures all over again so it behooves you as soon as you have finished DL`ng the file(s) then copy it from your RAM drive onto one of your blank tape so that you will not loose what ever it is you have in your RAM drive. Then if you`re working with say a LBR file then go ahead and DELIB it in your RAM drive as it is here. There was an .ASM file but I have never assembled a file so I could not use it. I decided to pull the big switch and hit the sack as it was now one oclock in the A.M.  The next morning, I brought all of my floppies and started listing directories. After a couple of hours, I finally found UNERA30.COM and tried it out - it worked? I restored two files that I thought were on the disk. By the way, did I mention that I did not know what files were on the disk? Well I decided to go for broke anmpressing so I thought I would give it a try. I found the .lbr file on our BBS so after download and de-librarying it, I started in to compress the .COM files on the Hard Disk and then copying them one by one to the 720k disk.  I had went through the As, Bs, and Cs.COM files on one of the HD file section when I figured that this might give me more storage space, but would take forever to compress. The LZHUFENC.COM will only allow one file at a time to be compressed and the infile and the outfil til all of the 720k DO was filled up and then ask for another 720k DD to continue.  Now I realize that none of you out there would make a dumb mistake like I did, but if you did, I'm sure you would always have a backup copy of your files but just in case there might come along another person that doesn't know enough to quit when he gets tired and sleepy, it might be nice to know that it is possible to recover those files that sometimes get deleted, erased¬ oò jusô dissapeaò foò nï reason atalic     Telenet rates.To keep our prices as low as possible, we have entered into  an agreement with AT&T to utilize their own RediAccess       Packet Switch Network service.

GERLACH The first four parts of Lerning With Logo has been dedicated to learning about the Turtles. But then, I remembered how I  wanted to print out my listings, and had to wait for my      AdamWriter printer to slowly print them out. A much faster   way is to use a printer patch, with Logo, to activate the    dnot. Your text is  configrured perfectly for tv  use with 1200.  You may even  have output for BOTH 80 and  regular text,if you happen to  have both terminals hooked  up.(I can't imagine a use for  this,but if you want it,it's  there!) The video output can  also be set for such things as  baud rate and port. The modem  may be set for baud rates up  to 2400. You may also set the  modem type of interface(serial  or parallel) and the type of  dialing.(tone or pulse) There  is also the ability tn on screen, but not printed out on the printer, no matter if you have a dot matrix or not.   We are presently working on a patch, and hopefully we will   be able to print out the graphics via SmartLOGO some time in the future. In the mean-time, PowerPAINT by DEI will print   them out, and later in the lessons we will go into that      area.The listing for a dot matrix printer patch is as follows.

RICKI GERLACH IS ALSO ONE OF THE           PRINCIPALS IN THE ADAM SOFTWARE SUPPORT CO.For earlier parts of thisprogram is called Adamlink3+  and it is amazing!(the "3+"  indicator is because 3 was  released with some minor bugs  which have been eliminated in  this version) For ease of use  and convinience,theres nothing  like it.   First it's the same Smartkey  driven menu you grew up with.  This was one of Colecos  smartest ideas and is still  effective today. The keys are  the same but their functions  are quite different. You may  set your terminal (or TV) so  that you use the 80 column  unit or ot matrix printer every time I used the Print command.First, lets learn the commands for printing. Unlike          SmartBASIC, we do not use PR#1 and PR#0 to toggle the        printer on and off. In Logo, we use two primitives to do     this. The key word to turn on the printer is very easy to    remember:   PRINTER  (Return)and the toggle to turn off the printer is likewise easy to   remember:   NOPRINTER (Return)A key point here, is that only TEXT will be sent to the      printer, graphics will remaio change  between the adam printer and a  parallel printer.   As you can see,the options  are many. And as I stated  above,the Smartkeys make it a  breeze to operate. And once  you have made your  selections,they can be stored  permenantly on the disk. All  in all,I would say this is a  most remarkable piece of  software. The author,Tom  Clary,deserves high marks for  this product. I'd recommend  this program to anyone who is  serious about  telecommunications!                        r e, but must be  used to properly patch our SmartLOGO. These primitives are   identified by a period (.) placed before the name. In the    patch we use .DEPOSIT, which is the same as POKE in          SmartBASIC. If you make a mistake, and place an incorrect    value into that location, you will have to reboot your LOGO, and try again. So be very careful.SmartLOGO DOT MATRIX PRINTER PATCHTO .INSTALL :BASEADR :BYTELISTIF EMPTYP :BYTELIST [STOP].DEPOSIT :BASEADR DEC FIRST :BYTELIST.INSTALL SUM :BASEADR 1 series contact either Pat          Herrington at MOAUG or Barry Wilson at A.N.N.                    LEARNING WITH LOGO                            PART 6                   BY: RICKI J.

We   will also discuss what they actually do in SmartLOGO, and    last, we will run a little program.The primitive [ .VERSION]By en time you want to, first load SmartLOGO,   then LOAD "PRDRIVER.

This DC voltage is then reduced to about 8-12volts by R1 then applied to the coil which causes the relaycontacts to close. This simulates a joystick trigger beingpushed. For convenience Radio Shack #'s are listed below:(The "=>" indicates modifications by ch.

You should see the meter going on and off. Ifnot check that D1 is correct! Then check for 8-12 voltsacross the relay coil going on and off.
