Obviously, the more (3) you do,  the more people we can reach.           At this time I will assign these mailings, although you can make your  suggestions as to who you would like to remail to or who you think should be added onto the list. 3. IF you wourent newsletters.  Most of the newsletters do not have a large       overlap of coverage or subscribers and therefore no newsletter is really  hurt by the items appearing in several newsletters.Your suggestions are always welcome.  I encourage you all to support the  ADAM BBS NET pioneered by BJ, Larry Overman(So.Cal) and Bob Blair         A(AWAUG-Wash.DC) which is exchanging messages & information from the      various BBSs on a weekly basis.Best regards,Barry A.

WHILE it is felt that information included is correct and accurate, I  take no responsibility for its accuracy, correctness, content,            suggestions,etc. and you should use the same at your own risible and to hopefully be able to unite Adamites when there are        pressing problems and issues which lend themselves to united efforts      this monthly disk mailing service has been created.  Presently the following REQUIREMENTS are in effect for using & being a    part of this system:           l.

To helg its (intended)     distribution.    Each disk will be marked to indicate when the material can be used.       Usually it will be usable after the first day of the month shown on the   label.   Of course,material can be saved to fill in at future times when  you are short of items.             The initial distribution will be approximately the middle of the month    for material to be used starting the lst of the next month.I hope this will serve to encourage other Adamites to write for several   diffeld prefer to pay a cash fee rather than do a remailing,      contact me and we will see what we can work out.  However, this is NOT    meant to be a profit making venture (& has costs me considerable in disks & postage upto this point), so I would prefer you do remailings rather    than pay a cash fee at this time. But if the remailings are a problem,    contact me.4. BBS SYSOPS ARE ASKED TO UPLOAD TO THEIR AND OTHER ADAM BBSs ANY        INFORMATION WHICH APPEARS TO BE OF INTEREST OR IMPORTANCE.

All commands which should be typed in exactly as   you see them are in quotes. Directional movements are in     brackets.  E.g., "                       DEADLINE             Part One Here is the solution for solving Infocom's mystery game,     Deadline. All commands which should be typed in exactly as   you see them are in quotes. Directional movements are in     brackets.  E.g.ladder- and-balcony theory is looking good!      Let's see if we can prove the ladder was below the balcony.  This will have to wait a while, though, because it's getting late in the morning and we have to do some more checking in  the house before the reading of the will takes place.  And   besides that, we need to talk to Mr. McNabb and he doesn't   seem to be in the mood right now.  Go back to the house by heading [N,S,N] and head back        upstairs with [N,N,E,U,U].  Let's see what else we can find  to    the second level of the estate.  From there, go [W,W,W,W,N]  to the library where you will start the first of a series of Sherlock Holmes-type  activities.  In Deadline, you need to establish the motive and method for the murder beyond all reasonable doubt before you can arrest the guilty party.  If you don't have an air-tight case, the  jury will acquit the defendant.  It is here in the library   where we go about establishing the method by which poor Mr.  Robner was done in.  First off, type "Ene is very unpredictable when it comes to the various  characters moving around the scenario.  Once you spot        McNabb, go to him and say "HEY MCNABB" followed by "WHAT IS  WRONG."  He will tell you about some holes he found in his   garden so, naturally, you say "SHOW ME THE HOLES."  He will  take off and you "FOLLOW HIM." When he stops, type "EXAMINE  HOLES."  Eureka!  The ladder was here and the depth of the   holes proves somebody climbed it up to the balcony!  To make sure we cover every angle, tredence to the     theory that perhaps the murderer climbed up the balcony from the ground below where he (or she) got mud on his shoes.     Let's have a look below and check for some indication that   the murderer was indeed below the balcony.                           DEADLINE             Part Two To leave the balcony, go [S,S,E,E,E,E,D,D,W,S].  Type "OPEN  DOOR" and go [S] back to the front door.  Now go [E,E,SE] to the shed where you will see a ladder.  Type "EXAMINE         LADDER."  Hmmm!  This , "OPEN DOOR" and [N,N,E].  Robin Hood did an excellent job of explaining the solution,  but because of typos or perhaps because of different         versions of Deadline, it didn't work on my copy.  So, the    corrections are attributable to me, Tamerlane of the Ring.  From the front path of the Robner's estate, go [N] to the    front door of the house.  Type "OPEN DOOR" and go [N] into   the Robners' house.  From inside the door, go [N,E] and type "CLIMB STAIRS" twice (or you can just go [U,U]) to get upstairs. Go [S,S] into Dunbar's bathroom. Type "OPEN        CABINET" and "EXAMINE LOBLO."  Aha, again! Now we go back    downstairs and see if we can find Mr.  McNabb to see if he   knows anything about a ladder under the balcony.  Go         [N,N,D,D,W,S,S].  Let's take a break for a while. Type "WAIT UNTIL 11:30."  And now for Mr.  McNabb.  Let's try the garden path first    with [E,NE,E,W]. If McNabb is not around, just wait for a    while or snoop around the area and  he will soon show up.    DeadliXAMINE RUG" (or just "LOOK RUG").  You     will find some mud spots which is your first clue.  Now,     "GET THE CUP, PAD, CALENDAR AND PENCIL" and "RUB PENCIL ON   PAD" and then "TURN PAGE OF CALENDAR."  Aha! Perhaps a clue  as to the motive? Let's see if we can substantiate the       method a little more...that mud on the rug was very          interesting.  Type "OPEN BALCONY DOOR" and go [N] onto the   balcony.  Check out the railing by typing "EXAMINE RAILING"  and you will see some scratches, lending cype "EXAMINE GROUND" and "DIG AROUND HOLES." Hmmm...wonder what this could be about?  To find out, type "ANALYZE FRAGMENT FOR LOBLO." Oops, it's   later than we thought!  Back to the house for the reading of the will.  Go [N,SW,SE,E] to the house and [N,N,W] into the  living room. Now just "WAIT" for the will to be read.                          DEADLINE            Part Three After the will is read, you decide to see if you can roust   some of those present into giving you some clues as to the   guilty     ways to end up accusing Baxter and Dunbar of the murder.     There are also more puzzles to solve, but this is all that   is necessary to put together an air-tight case against them. If you have other methods of solving Deadline, let us know! B REPORT TO      DUNBAR" and "SHOW LAB REPORT TO BAXTER." Whip around and     "ACCUSE DUNBAR."  Hmmm...a tad nervous, isn't she? Perhaps   we should go off and wait to see what develops. Go [E] to    leave the room and "WAIT FOR DUNBAR."  Just as we suspected! Whthing.  Go [W,N,N] to the      balcony and type "WAIT 10 MINUTES."  Voila!  Here he comes!  Wait until he goes behind the bookshelf and then type "WAIT  4 MINUTES" to give him time to really get his hands into the cookie jar.  When your 4 minutes are up, go [S], "EXAMINE BOOKSHELF,"     "PRESS BUTTON," and go [E].  Ha! Caught him red-handed!!     Type "GET WILL," "LOOK SAFE," "GET PAPERS," and "READ        PAPERS." Things are beginning to look up! Let's see if we    can substantiate some of this stuff.  Gnd if you make a misstep somewhere, having a map will save you a lot of time and trouble. Second, you will    need to have food and water with you most of the time. Make  sure you eat and drink when the program warns you that you   are hungry and thirsty. Also, keep in mind that, if your     water supply runs out, you can always get more, but once the bread is gone, you won't be able to obtain more food. So,    don't go too far astray, or you might starve to death!       Finally, remember to save the game een she passes you, type "FOLLOW HER."  Once outside the    house, she will drop a ticket. Type "GET TICKET" and "READ   TICKET."  WOW!  This is getting good!  Type "SHOW TICKET TO  DUNBAR."  You know you've got her on the run now so head off to the shed to wait and see what develops.  Go [E,E,SE] and  "WAIT FOR BAXTER."  When they both show up, "SHOW TICKET TO  BAXTER" and "ARREST BAXTER AND DUNBAR." You didn't believe   them for a minute, did you?  Due to the dynamic nature of Deadline, there are several party and, perhaps, the  motive for the crime.  Let's start with George. Type "SHOW GEORGE THE CALENDAR."  He will get very nervous and start heading out of the room. Type     "FOLLOW HIM" until he finally goes to his room.  He will     keep telling you to leave him alone, but just keep following him until he enters his room.  At this point, you decide to  see if George knows more then he's telling. You aren't going to get anything from him here, so let's go to the balcony    and wait to see if he does anyx	Elost. If    the Adventurer picks up something you need, tell him to give it to you, and he will. In any case, you should drop the     dagger now because you don't need it                      THE ENCHANTER             Part One      Welcome to the wonderful world of Enchanter! Before we  start, a few words about the game: first, it helps to make a map as you go along. You will not be visiting all the        locations, ao back to the living  room with [W,S,E,E,E,E,D,D,W,W].  My, isn't this cozy!  Type "HEY BAXTER," "WHAT ABOUT FOCUS." You know he's lying so you "SHOW PAPERS TO BAXTER."  Ah, that's better! Now for some    clever psycho-detective work.  Type "SHOW LAB REPORT TO      DUNBAR" and "SHOW LAB REPORT TO BAXTER." Whip around and     "ACCUSE DUNBAR."  Hmmm...a tad nervous, isn't she? Perhaps   we should go off and wait to see what develops. Go [E] to    leave the room and "WAIT FOR DUNBAR."  Just as we suspected! Whvery once in awhile,     especially before doing anything dangerous!       Ok, the game begins with your being summoned by Belboz  to a council of the Circle of Enchanters. You are told that  you must put an end to Krill, a nasty and powerful Wizard,   after which, with your trusty spell book, you are sent into  the game proper, where you find yourself at a fork in the    road. From there, go NE, then North, and you will be in a    shack. Get the jug and the lantern, then open the oven door  and get the bms to the Tower, and then from    there due South until you come to the SouthWest Tower. Go    East to the South Hall, then South to dungeon. Open the cell door and enter the cell. Examine the walls. Aha! A loose     block! Move the block, and you will be able to move East     into a secret room. There is another spell scroll here, the  EXEX spell. Get the scroll and GNUSTO the spell. You will    also find a silver spoon here, but that item is just "window dressing"; it has no useful purpose in the game, yoook, then learn the       spell. Now, go NE NE, and you're back at the fork. From      there, head along East until you come to the outer gate of   Krill's castle. REZROV the gate, then continue East to the   inside gate.       Learn the FROTZ, NITFOL, and REZROV spells. FROTZ the   lantern, then go North twice to the tower, and then Up the   tower steps to the Jewel Room. There is an egg here, with    all manner of little switches and doodads on it. You could   actually open the egg by figuring out the phe     Tower, and Up the stairs. Well, look at that! A comfy        featherbed. Get into bed and drift off to sleep.                        THE ENCHANTER             Part Two  While you sleep, you have a dream. The dream is an           indication of the location of another scroll. When morning   comes, get up, then examine the bedpost. Aha! A hidden       switch! Press it, and a compartment will open up, revealing  the VAXUM spell. Get that scroll and GNUSTO the spell. It    will soon be time for you l. This is the KREBF spell,      which will repair the shredded scroll. You will only need    this spell once, so you don't really have to GNUSTO it. In   any case, cast the KREBF spell on the shredded scroll, which will be restored and usable. The spell on this scroll is     ZIFMIA. GNUSTO that one, then walk East to the Swamp. NITFOL the frogs, who will tell you how to get the CLEESH spell.    GNUSTO that one, too.       Now, return to the North Gate, and from there go back   West through the Mirror Rooread. You have food, now  you need some water.       Go South from the shack, then NE, SE, NE to the Shady   Brook. Here you fill your jug with water. Head SW SE to      another fork in the road, and from there SW SW to a deserted village. Well, almost deserted. There's one place that seems to be inhabited. You head South, and run into an old crone   who hands you a spell scroll, and pushes you back out the    door again. This scroll has the REZROV spell. Use the GNUSTO spell to write it into your spell bu should  leave it behind.  Now go back West, then South and Up to the South Hall again.       Drop everything you have, and go East into the Gallery. In the dark, you will see that one portrait is lit up. Move  that, and you will find a black candle and a black scroll.   The scroll holds the OZMOO spell. Get these items and return West. Pick up your supplies (you won't need the lantern if   you take the candle), then GNUSTO the OZMOO spell. About     now, you're probably feeling a bit tired. Go West to troper sequence,   but that isn't necessary. REZROV the egg, and it will open,  to reveal a shredded scroll. There is no way to avoid this,  even if you opened it by hand. Don't worry about that,       however. Just get the scroll, and drop the egg. Learn REZROV once more (very handy, that spell!), then go Down to the     Tower, and from there due East through the four Mirror Rooms to the North Gate. REZROV the gate.       Now move out North through the gate to the Woods. Here  you find another spell scrolto get yourself killed (among      other things), so learn the OZMOO, NITFOL, and EXEX spells.       Go down the stairs, the head East until you come to the South Gate. Go South from there to the meadow, then SE to    the Shore. Here you will see a giant turtle with a           rainbow-colored shell. Cast NITFOL on the turtle, then tell  him to follow you. Return to the South Gate and go East from there to the base of the SouthEast Tower. Go up the stairs,  and you will be in the Engine Room, which is ful. He    will also be looking at your inventory with covetous eyes.       As soon as he's been VAXUM'd, head directly East until  you come to the Guarded Room. Don't worry, your new friend   will follow you along. Once at the door (and you should      carefully read the description of it; it's really amusing),  tell the Adventurer to open it. He will do so, and the       illusions of monsters will disappear, revealing only a plain wooden door. Go North through the door into the Map Room.       Here is onreturn to the beach. The Kulcad spell is too powerful for    you to GNUSTO, so you'll have to just hold on to the scroll  until you need it. And now, it's time for you to die.       Go down the stairs, then West to the Hall and North to  the Closet. Pick up the Jeweled Box and continue North to    the Courtyard. Don't bother trying  REZROV on the Box; even  that spell isn't powerful enough to open it. Just go East to the front of the temple, drop everything you have, then go   East once more. You will be ymore. You also won't need the purple scroll with the FILFRE spell. Make sure you  have the map and the pencil, then go back to the North Gate, and from there South to the Library.       Examine the ashes on the floor, then the tracks in the  ashes. These  will lead you to a mousehole in the wall.      Reach inside, and you will find the scroll with the GONDAR   spell. GNUSTO that one. While you're poking about here, you  might hear gutteral voices coming towards you. Don't worry;  the MELBOR spell will k the MELBOR scroll.   Pick up the rest of your possesions, and GNUSTO the MELBOR   spell.       Now, learn MELBOR, VAXUM and ZIFMIA, then head West,    West to the Inside Gate, and from there to the Mirror Rooms. Here you must wait until you see the Adventurer on the other side of the mirror. At that point, ZIFMIA Adventurer, and he will appear before you, a little bit upset. Since you have a move to spare here, MELBOR yourself, then VAXUM the          Adventurer, who will now be very friendly towards youl of all     sorts of dangerous and incomprehensible machinery. Cast EXEX spell on the turtle, then tell him to go SE and get the      scroll.       The speed spell will make him fast enough to dodge      safely through that room into the Control Room, where the    Kulcad spell scroll is. On his way back, he'll set off a     trap, but his heavy shell will protect him. You couldn't     have managed it, because you have no protection from the     sharp spears. The turtle will give you the scroll, then      e of those variable things in the game. There are several objects in this room, two of which, the map and  the pencil, are crucial to your success. Sometimes, the      Adventurer will pick up one or both of these items. You must get them back from him before he leaves, or you may never    catch up to him again, in which case the game is lost. If    the Adventurer picks up something you need, tell him to give it to you, and he will. In any case, you should drop the     dagger now because you don't need it ancaptured and put in a cell to    await a sacrificial ceremony, at which you will be the guest of honor.       Now, OZMOO yourself, and Wait. The creatures will soon  come for you, and you will be offered up on an altar and a   knife plunged into your heart. Because of the OZMOO spell,   you won't really be dead. However, you now have the means of opening the Jeweled Box. Once you are on your feet again,    step down from the altar, amd go East back to the courtyard. Cut the rope, then open the box and geteep you protected from any of the     hairy creatures that might enter the room.                       THE ENCHANTER            Part Three There is also a dusty old book here that you might want to   read, as it will help you to understand what you're doing    next. From the Library, return to the South Hall, then go    down into the dungeon, and down once more to the first       Translucent Room. You will probably be tired now, so just go to sleep right where you are; nothing will hurt you. You     onvellum scroll           containing the IZYUK spell. IZYUK yoursel, and fly East into (ta-da!) The Warlock's Tower!       Here, at last, you come face-to-face with Krill         himself. However, before you can take care of him, you will  have to get rid of a couple of his friends. When the dragon  attacks, GONDAR the dragon, and when the being attacks,      CLEESH him. Now, you're ready for the main event. As Krill   begins his chant, GUNCHO him. He is banished forever from    this plane of existence, and e two rooms. However, you can only use the eraser  twice and the point twice before each becomes useless. Now   that you know what you have, let's put it to some good use.       You are standing at the moment at point B on the map.   From there, move South, East, NE, SE, and you will be at     point F. The point all by itself, P, is where the Unseen     Terror currently resides, and you are about to free it. Draw a line from P to F. You will see the opening appear in the   wall before your eyes, and then vellum scroll           containing the IZYUK spell. IZYUK yoursel, and fly East into (ta-da!) The Warlock's Tower!       Here, at last, you come face-to-face with Krill         himself. However, before you can take care of him, you will  have to get rid of a couple of his friends. When the dragon  attacks, GONDAR the dragon, and when the being attacks,      CLEESH him. Now, you're ready for the main event. As Krill   begins his chant, GUNCHO him. He is banished forever from    this plane of existence, and CHO spell is too strong to be      written in  your book, so you'll have to carry the scroll    with you.       Now, go Up twice to the South Hall. MELBOR yourself,    then go West to the South Gate, and from there due North to  the Junction. At that point, head East twice to the Winding  Stairs. This is another powerful illusion; no matter how     much you walk up or down, you will never get anywhere.       KULCAD the stairs, and they will disappear, leaving you over a Bottomless bannister turned into a ly had to sleep in the bed to have the dream to find the   VAXUM spell.       When you wake up, eat and drink if necessary, then drop your spell book and the jug. Look at the map, and you will   see some lettered points connected by lines. This is a magic map of the area where you are now. If  you connect two       adjacent points with the pencil, an opening will actually    appear between those two rooms. Likewise, if you erase a     line between two points, then you close off the opening      between thyou have become a member of the Circle Of Enchanters!!       Of course, this is just the beginning; there will be    other tasks awaiting you in the future...... ,    then go West to the South Gate, and from there due North to  the Junction. At that point, head East twice to the Winding  Stairs. This is another powerful illusion; no matter how     much you walk up or down, you will never get anywhere.       KULCAD the stairs, and they will disappear, leaving you over a Bottomless bannister turned into a a very scared Belboz will    appear briefly with a warning. Now, move SW twice (the first time you won't get anywhere) and you will be at point P,     where the GUNCHO spell is.       Now, erase the line from B to R, which will keep the    Terror from escaping. Also erase the line from M to V, which traps him in the rooms again. Pick up the GUNCHO scroll, and make your way to point J. Draw a line from J to B, then walk West to B and get your spell book.

At the bott math tables you press Smart Key I to   increase, Smart Key II to decrease, or Smart Key III to      accept current math table.  Next, you can choose your text   screen color by pressing the appropriate Smart Key.  The     drill screen is divided into four areas.  On the left are    happy and sad faces which react in response to the answers   you enter.  In the middle of the screen are the four math    signs.  The math table you chose to work with will be        displayed on the left side of the math sign (as it has something for    everyone.  Even I really enjoyed climbing the castle wall.

My preschooler and first grader have had a lot of    fun with the addition and have had some success with the     subtraction.MATH CLIMBER is the entertaining part of the program.  It    is by far the most popular around my house.  It is also      documented in the "Instruction" selection on the main menu.  The graphics are great.  The player must correctly answer    math prram.  You can     choose between MATH DRILLS and MATH CLIMBER.MATH DRILLS gives you the choice of practicing Addition,     Subtraction, Multiplication, or Division tables.  This drill is fully documented on disk and can be read on screen by     selecting "Instructions" on the main menu.  Smart keys are   used extensively in this program, making it very easy to     use.

It will be necessary to explain the younger children  how to skip division and fraction problems and how to type   the negative numbers sometimes needed in the subtraction     problems.These drills are attractive and very well done.

Watch out for an interesting use of magnets.  You can really talley up bonus points on this one.    10)CASTLE--This one has great graphics but is similar to EGYPT.  Doors can be deadly, if you're not careful.  But     there's plenty of treasure to be found if you try for the    towers.This is a great addition to the other pinball collections    available for the ADAM.  You have the choice of one or two   players.  Logic ome of the nicest graphics.  My  sons especially liked the plane that is doing the tail-dive.  There's alot of fast action, with double plungers and       double balls.  This one is a family favorite.     4)EGYPT--This was the hardest of the collection for me  to play.  The plunger seems to lack the power you find in    the other games.  Bonuses aren't hard to get, but watch out  for the .........MUMMY.     5)FAST FOOD--My sons really loved this one--just like a quick trip to McDonald's.

Watch out for the     arrow or you'll get the point....     8)BONES--This is another one of my personal favorites.  The action on this one reminds me of the action on the Rock  & Roll game of another collection.  Get the ball in the rib  cage area and you'll accumulate a lot of points--but danger  also lurks close by.  I especially liked the way the         flippers were incorporatger.  This program is a great way to    unwind.  This is a collection of ten pinball games, varying  in difficulty and graphics.For a brief preview of the ten games:     1)DEEPSPACE--You're flying in deep space with stars all around.  All you can see are the stars, a few space ships,   and what you fear might be a black hole.........WATCH OUT.     2)RED HOT--Everything is RED all over....don't get      zapped!  On this one, there are three plungers and lots of   flippers.     3)BARON--This one has sis stored on the disk so it is not necessary to boot the Pinball Construction disk in order to play the   games.  This disk will provide all you pinball wizards hours of enjoyment.     8)BONES--This is another one of my personal favorites.

This one also has two plungers and a   lot of action.     6)N AMERICA--This game honors two of the North American countries:  Canada and the United States.  The action is     slower on this one but you can really add up the bonuses.    This one is nicely decorated with the flags of both          countries.     7)CLOWN--My youngest son squealed with delight when he  tried this one.

It can be used equally     well by the children who can read and by interactionst and      hidden lakes to free the Great Apes from the hunters and     Beast Men who have imprisoned them.  Although there are      similarities between this game and games such as Pitfall or  Congo Bongo, there is no comparison in graphics or game      play.

They really were surprised at   the many different ways they could change the stories.       Although they like pirates and treasures as much as the next person, they really enjoyed the excitement of the Halloween  tale the best.Besides being used for pure entertainment, I feel this       program can be a great tool in teaching my sons to learn and improve their reading skills. by the children who can read and by interactionp/hints would be appreciated.

You have a choice between 1) Sunken Treasure and 2)          Halloween Party.In this story program there can be many possible endings     depending on the choices you make as you read the story.

Squish'em Sam's on his way to the top of a 48 story building to collect a suitcase of moneform of a poem and     gives clues on how to play the game.  The game consists      mainly of two different screens.  The first screen is an     angled maze that looks like the ramparts of a castle.  In    this screen you must merge all your Gleeb's into one in      order to pass through the mirror to the other screen.        Occasionally, you will need to avoid roaming lizards and     birds depending on the level you have selected to play.  If  you run into either the birds or lizards you will either     l vocabulary is not very big, but it is fun to hear him yell   "money, money, money" or "squish'em".After you squash a creature, head immediately for the next   floor.  The creature will turn white and when it's that      color you can no longer squish it.  Do not let any of the    creatures or falling objects touch you--they will knock you  back down the building and you will lose a man.  There are   eight falling objects ranging from hammers to kitchen sinks.  If you keep going upward in the same area verite well.  It is very important to learn when to press the fire button for merging or separating.     There are only certain points on the screen that this can be done.  Remember this--when you press the buttons, the action is "saved" until the point is reached.  Over zealous         pressing can cause delayed action with unpredictable         results, therefore try to identify the points as quickly as  possible.  This is an interesting game, but not one I feel   my family will enjoy until they are older.lx	EIn this one player game, you can start on any of the first   seven levels.

Sam must also watch out for     falling objects after he reaches the third level.  There are serveral ways to score points:  by climbing to the top of    the building, by squashing creatures and by jumping over     them.  The best feature of this game is--SAM TALKS!

You must now separate your  Gleeb into four individual Gleebs in order to pass through   the mirror back to the other side.The fire buttons control the merge and separation moves      (this is the hardest part to learn).  My younger sons and I  had a hard time trying to maneuver through this game, but my nine year old did quy long, one is bound to hit you.There is one prize per 48 floor building.  By touching the   prize, you will gain an extra man.  It is easy to            distinguish the prize from the creatures.  You can earn up   to 128 extra men, but only 10 will be displayed at a time.   This is a fun game that kids especially enjoy.

We    can write our own procedures, using the complex recursions to draw for us. This program will draw triangles inside of larger triangles        (nested so to speak). We can better visualize how this process works   if we first remove the recursive call.

However, with the recursive NTRI buried in the REPEAT command, we see  that it is called again (repeats 3 times) with new inputs, :SIZE/2,    before the turtle takes even one step fot is possible (and often          desirable) to draw smaller polygons inside of the larger ones. Nested  recursion makes this possible. The variable DEPTH controls the number  of levels of recursion that takes place. If the value of DEPTH is one  (1) the recursive process goes on indefinitely, with no drawings made. If the value of DEPTH is large, about 10, then only one polygon is     drawn.The procedures are as follows:TO NEST.POLY :SIZE :N :DEPTHIF :SIZE < 10 [PR [SIZE TOO SMALL !] STOP ]IF :N < 4 [60and watch what happens now to the single triangle.     Now, lets enter a program to draw other polygons.   Before we do, we   either have to save the above, by enteringSAVE "NEST.TRIor just erase the procedures, in which we would enterERALL RECYCLEIf you decide to first save it to disk, make sure to erase the         procedures after saving them. The next set of procedures will draw     squares, pentagons, hexagons, circles, etc. The number of sides to the polygon is given by the variable N.

The sneakers are ne ever seen because when not in use they are retracted as a turtle does its body  Go to the nearest computer dealer and buy 1200baud MODEM sneakers.  Since it s quite difficult to get into thctions load, keeping interest high.A couple of things could be done to improve this package.  Both sections allow the user to skip division problems with fractions, which is good, but those fractions can only be entered one way. ie; 6 / 9 = .666, not .667; 5 / 10 = .5, not .50.  The Climber section is a  little slow but still holds interest.  When using the Drills, the sequence is always 0 thru 12 factored against the number selected.  This results in the answer increasing by one also. (3+0=3, 3+1=4, 3+2=5ReviewSCHOOL DAZE by Wizard's Lair(C) 1989Wizard's Lair has come up with another fine educational program for our ADAM.

So we decided to proceed.  One of the things that Scott didn't like about the design  I had develop- ed was that it occupied the center expansion slot in the    Adam.  He had  a  parallel printer interface in that slot and didn't want to  give it up.    So I agreed to put a printer interface on the board so he        wouldn't have  to.  He was also not enthralled with the undeINFORMATION, BACKGROUND AND ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON THE MICRO INNOVATIONS   POWERMATE HARDWARE FOR ADAM.Downloaded from AWAUG BBS  (703-922-5497, 8 N l, 24 hrs.). Thank you for referring the questions that you've received  on the Micro Innovations Powermate products.  All interest is genuinely  appreciated.   However, before I get into detailed answers, please allow me give    you a little   background on the products.  I developed the hard disk interface in response to the     urging of my  teenaghackers were connecting both an RS-232 80 column terminal and an    external modem to the Adam.  Knowing of a dual UART chip, we decided that we      would further  expand the interface board to handle two RS-232 ports, a parallel      printer port,  and a hard disk interface.  About the same time, I discoverd a source of hard disk     controllers    that also had a floppy disk controller port on them.  It took a  while but I    finally got both the hard and floppy disk controller ports working. We cG several years ago  but didn't  join because he didn't drive and I wasn't crazy about       driving him.   Finally, after a significant amount of coercing from him, I agreed   to develop a   hard disk drive add-on product for the Adam.  I began designing  the hard disk  interface for him this last spring.  We didn't know about   any other hard disk  interfaces until just recently when we discovered that BJ   (Big John      Lingrel)  was developing one.  By that time, I had the wire wrap      version attorneys.I ask that you let me know if your GROUP will cooperate in this venture.    Basically this means an ordinary Adam owner NOT WELL KNOWN would write (at  my direction) to the suspected pirates, etc.You should report suspected pirates to me with as much detail as possible   on their activities.  THIS CAN ALSO INCLUDE DEALERS who may be suspected of piracy.  While most dealers are activily working for the good of Adam,      rumors of a few who buy one copy from the producer and that make many     rwhelming performance of   his internal   300 baud Adam modem and asked for an RS-232 port to control an       external       modem.  Okay, I  said, I'll see if I can fit a serial port on the interface  board also.    We had all of that up and running in wire-wrap form when we went   to the AWAUG   meeting that BJ attended.  Not knowing how BJ would respond to a    potential      competitor, we decided not to mention the product to him.  However, at that meeting we discovered that most of the    Adam e son.  He bought an Adam computer several years ago  when he        decided that he wasn't satisfied using our PC computer for his purposes  - it didn't    have enough games for him.  After using the Adam for a while, he concluded that the tape system wasn't fast enough for him and bought a floppy  disk.  It      didn't take him long after that to realize that there were faster  storage        peripherals available for other computers - so why not for the Adam?  He had been briefly involved with AWAUan now     attach IBM-style floppy disk drives (360K/720K) to the controller  as well as two hard disk drives.  So much for the history.  Now let me try to satisfactorily answer the questions you asked. 1.  Can memory expanders be used with the hard drive        interface,     since they also need to occupy expansion slot #2 to function?  I was not aware of the memory expander products when I     designed the Powermate products.  Obviously, if they need to occupy the  center         expansion slot rial ports, a parallel printer   port, and a    hard disk controller interface port.  An interface converter board (which I also designed) is    installed  inside the external disk chassis and allows the Adam board  to interface   with the disk controller board, also installed inside the external   chassis.  The  interface converter board provides two benefits - it allows me to use a 25 pin ribbon cable to connect the external chassis to the Adam,   and it allows  the  external chassis' power supply e possibility), but I would need some significant    amount of user feedback as to which slot is preferable.  This would also delay      delivery of    the product about two months. 2a.   Are we using a PC or PC-XT type of controller?  We are not using a PC-type controller.  I considered it    but did not  want to attempt to write drivers for one.  There was also   no good place  to mount it and I did not want to extend the bus by the several feet it would take  to  mount it in an external enclosure.of a mixture of new and used products while others are      entirely used. However, no matter what the status of the boards are, they all come  tested and     guaranteed to work.  I then add a new product warantee to the overall  Powermate      product such that the user need not worry about a malfunction in    the first 90   days.  I have tried to price the Powermate products as            aggressively   as I can  so that it is not outside the reach of the serious Adam     computer buff.

Are we using surplus boards or custom designed boards   to achieve the low price?  The Powermate design consists of three circuit boards.     The interface board that plugs into the Adam (in expansion slot #2) was   designed       completely by me and contains the 2 seat the same time the user wants to run the Powermate,  we have a      basic conflict - both can't occupy the same physical space                       simultaneously.  The  Powermate interface board can function in either the first  or the second  slot - all of the signals that it needs are available at either    connector.     However, since Scott did not want to give up his internal modem, we  decided on the  middle slot.  I could redesign the board for the first slot (and will      investi- gate thto send plus and minus 12    volts to the   interface board inside the Adam to run the serial ports.  The disk controller board is a commercially manufactured   product made by a large reputable hard disk controller manufacturer.  It has the        ability  to control 2 hard disk drives and 2 IBM-style floppy disk   drives. I buy  the  controller boards in quantity from a reputable perveyor of  new and used   computer parts.  Some batches are made up of entirely new boards.    Other batches  consist  2b.   Will the serial and parallel ports be compatible with existing Adam  add-on products such that Adam software designed for those         products will  be useable  with our board?  I assigned the Powermate ports so that they would not      interfere with any existing Adam products.  That way the Powermate could be    added to       whatever the owner had already.  I provided drivers in the Powermate     BIOS to handle communi- cations with all of the ports on the board.  I do plan,     however,dest profit on each sale and probably cannot go any     lower on price or I won't make anything at all.  The most important aspect of the product, I believe, is    that it is a complete turnkey system for about the same total price that you would pay  for the hard disk components.  It also does not require any     modifications  to the  Adam computer to install it.  Bundle that with all of its   functionality  (two  serial ports, a parallel printer port, and a hard disk) and expandability  (up to 2 hA-NET features by ALAN------------------------------------BBS HELP FILES:3So what's all this fuss about the new Text Editing and Display features?

I make  a mogram that offers this type of display (the ADAMLink software only has a 36-column display), the display put out by A-NET was not a very pretty sight (and     those with 80-column display, tended to get 'tunnel vision' from looking at only half of the screen being filled). The new features no longer make this a limitation. The A-NET system will    now allow its users to select any desired SCREEN WIDTH from 30 to 80 characters per line! Here are some typical Screen Width settings for some of the teleging of other boards messages so that they can be read as messages and not as an ASCII file.  We still intend to use the A-NET messages in the NET libraries, though we we will have to make them into files that can be typed.

If sm display. TEXT DISPLAY The new Text Display features are what actually put the Screen Width        feature to work. Their purpose is to conform all the text files displayed to the    Width selected by the user. There are two different modes that can be selected: NON-FORMATTED and FORMATTED. The NON-FORMATTED display is the fastest working of the two features. It displays the text a character at a time. When it reaches the end of a line (which is determined by the Screen Width selection), one of present word they are       typing at the time they come to the end of the screen, they can continue to type   the word and then press RETURN without having the word needlessly chopped in    half. The user can also backspace to the last of the previous word, press RETURN, and then can continue typing on the next line. If the user types 20         characters past their selected Screen Width, the Text Editor inserts a carriage return (chopping any present word being typed into two pieces). This feature at the end of a line, the entire word will be brought down to  the next line without chopping it. If the word in question contains the "-" character, it will be split at that character (provided the first half of   the word will fit on the first line). TEXT EDITING There are three new and unique features in A-NET's Text Editor. First, the user can now choose from two different modes for typing in text. They are: MANUAL Word Wrap and AUTO Word Wrap. Second, there is a simple feature that allows the. An example of where this feature is useful would be for ending a paragraph or for entering an address like this: ADAM-LINK of Utah 2337 South 600 East Salt Lake City, Utah 84106 Notice how the above three lines do not conform with the text above and     below them (it's because they had the space character added at the end of the     line before the carriage return was entered). SELECTING THE NEW FEATURES So... How does one go about selecting the new features? The answer is       SIMPLE! Wit what is going on, a warning bell is        sounded (provided the user's system has audio capabilities). This feature should    not be used in conjunction with a software program that has a built-in Auto     Word Wrap feature (such as the ADAMLink software) unless that feature has been otherwise disabled. The MANUAL Word Wrap feature is the alternative to the above feature. It allows the user to type 20 characters past their selected Screen Width. The idea here is that if they haven't completed the two things can happen: 1) if the current word being printed is not completely printed, it will be split with a "-" and the remainder of the word printed on the next line. 2) if the current word is completely printed the cursor will just     move to the next line. The FORMATTED display offers a very uniform and readable display of text. However, the sacrifice is that the display is somewhat slower. This feature reads in the text and compares it with the selected screen width. If a word will not fit is    also useful for uploading text to the Text Editor (uploading to A-NET's Text     Editor is 95% accurate at 300 BAUD). There is a special built-in text-editing feature that will cancel the conforming of any lines that the user desires. This way, when needed,       certain lines can be left in their original form when being displayed under the new Text Display features discussed at the first of this file. To use this feature, simply type in a blank space at the end of the line then press RETURN user to cancel the text conforming features now found in the     Text Display. The AUTO Word Wrap feature comes from an original idea that Peter Ames      shared with me (for which I would like to thank him very much). This feature aides the user in creating messages in the Text Editor. If the user comes to the  end of their selected screen width and the word they are typing has not been completed, the word will be removed from the present line and reprinted on  the next line.

There is a rumor that Commordore has come out    with  a  monitor  which  has  both  modes;   color  with  40tion.   Several programmers have recently written   on this subject and I want to say that I feel they are justified and I    support them strongly.          In the beginning there was NO copy protected programs with Adam but the   wide spread piracy in the Adam world soon changed this.You must keep in mind that with Adam there is a much smaller user base    than with many of the other computers.  Therefore piracy has a much       greater effect as this small potential market is made even smaller by     was        created  by  Orphanware  for  use  with a modem, but it can  be  used    with  a  printer  and  a  dumb  terminal.   For  $75  you  get  a    lot  of  possibilities.  The trick of using the port with a dumb terminal is         modifying the  pin  configuration  on the cable connector on  the  serial  port,  adjusting the port speed and terminal speed to the same     settings,  and  redirecting  the  console input and output  from  your Adam  keyboard and monitor to your terminal keyboar  and  use  the serial port with a modem or printer.       Monochrome dumb terminal      $450      RS232C serial port              75      ----------------------------------                total               $525  With  the  above setup you can have 80 columns  under       CP/M,  but  cannot  use the serial port with a modem at the same  time. The  advantage to having this setup is the ability to use the    terminal  and a modem without the Adam.  And if you already have a    terminal  you can ------------>   7             20      <----------------->   5,6,8  The  speed  at  which  the port  runs  is  controlled  by   system  software.   This means that there aren't any switches to    flip  on  the  hardware to change port speed.  ABP25.COM and  IMP.COM have  both  been  used  successfully to change the  port  speed.  It's  default  speed  is  1200bps, but it operates all the  way   up  to  19200bps.   When using ABP25.COM, Serial Port #1 is the     one  you  want to change from 1200bps          program  was  running.  odem or printer.       Monochrome dumb terminal      $450      RS232C serial port              75      ----------------------------------                total               $525  With  the  above setup you can have 80 columns  under       CP/M,  but  cannot  use the serial port with a modem at the same  time. The  advantage to having this setup is the ability to use the    terminal  and a modem without the Adam.  And if you already have a    terminal  you can input will then come from the  terminal     keyboard  and the output will come from the terminal monitor.  All of this  will happen thru the RS232C serial port.  Redirection can   also be  accomplished with ABP25.COM.       In conclusion:       80 column video unit          $225      Monochrome monitor             150      RS232C serial port              75      ----------------------------------                total               $450  With  the above setup you can have 80 columns under CP/M  d and monitor.  The  port connector pin configuration must be changed       because  it  was originally set up for operation with a modem, not a     terminal.   The correct pin configuration conversion for a terminal     follows:       Port Connector Pin          Terminal Connector Pin      ------------------          ----------------------              2      <----------------->   3              3      <----------------->   2              5,6,8  <----------------->  20              7      <-----subtract the price of one from the total.  This paper was written with the use of:  Apple  Macintosh  SE  using MacTerminal in  VT100  mode     for  the  terminal.

The port  and terminal speeds should be set prior to redirection.  The  console  device  is normally the  combination  of  the Adam  keyboard for input, and a monitor or television for video   output.   CON in the normal combination is set to CON:=CRT:  Redirection  is accomplished by using STAT.COM in this way: STAT  CON:=TTY:   The ееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееееее
