Please do everything you  can to encourage others to be a part of that support. In that way, things can only get better!.Thank you!.                              2.A FEW SIMPLE RULES TO FOLLOW!.In order to create an atmosphere of trust and integrity, for those people and organizations that are providing the subject material, from which     these ADAM News Network disks are created, it is  by a few      individuals.In the past, except for a few financial subscriptions, the provision of   articles etc., to A.N.N., was considered sufficient contribution to the   organization, to assure that you, and/or your group would continue to     receive the regular monthly output from A.N.N.. In order for the service  to operate in that environment, it was economically essential that the    collection, selection, collation, reproduction  and distribution, of the  wealth of ADAM material available, be u      legitimate, non-profit, ADAM oriented organization, is not only           permitted, but encouraged.2. It is also essential that due credit be given to the author, the       originating organization, and the ADAM News Network, when reproducing any article or item from these disks. Such credits should, wherever possible, form part of a preamble immediately preceding the reproduced item, or as  a footnote to the item. A general credit, in the form of a notice         appearing elsewhere within the bodared among those who benefit most from the service, namely the ADAM world at   large. But, subscribing in monetary form  alone will not be sufficient to assure the continuance of the service. In order for that to be assured,   A.N.N. will continue to need your input, in the form of articles,         programs, comments, reviews and etc., so that these can be redistributed  to other interested groups and individual parties. As evidenced by the enthusiasm with which this ADAM News Network          initiative ADAM User's   Group, (SLAUG). Barry who is a practising attorney, was so enthusiastic   about the possibilities of this network, that he devoted a considerable   part of his personal time and financial resources to the concept. The result, as you can readily see if you have been exposed to the end    product, "ADAM news available on a grand scale", has been a complete      success. But this success has, of itself, created the present situation,  whereby the financial load has become too great to be borneessential that the       following simple rules be meticulously applied:1. Although the individual item or article published through the medium   of the A.N.N disks may not be copyrighted, THE ANN DISKS ARE!. They       cannot be copied or redistributed as an entity, except with the express   permission of the Editor, Barry Wilson. However, as is the purpose of the service, the print-reproduction of any or all of the uncopyrighted        articles contained in those disks, in any suitable form, by any     ndertaken by a few ADAM users.     Mostly at their own expense! This resulted in considerable out-of-pocket  expense for a few, and in particular the founder, Barry Wilson. And, in   addition to the self-evident monetary outlays, were the insidious costs   of wear and tear on disk drives etc.Such a situation cannot, in all conscience, be continued. It is time for  the ADAM world to rally round Barry Wilson's brain-child and make it a    permanent, viable entity in that world. Responsibility must now be shy of a publication, will not be         considered sufficient to satisfy these requirements.3. Except as specifically authorized by the network, any use of the       material contained on the A.N.N. disks, by groups or persons involved in  a commercial enterprise, is prohibited. NOTE. Copyrighted material should not be submitted for distribution by    the ADAM News Network, since the purpose of the organization, is simply   to redistribute articles for reproduction by individuals or groups, on a  non-pr 1990 issue of the MOAUG newsletter.

You will get infinitely more use from your YULE TOOLS   when you know how to manipulate all the design elements. To access this menu, simply press the MOVE/COPY key.  You will then be         presented with several options.  "COPY CELL" is used to place the entire       screen of the current cell in one or more different cells.  This is vell 1 to the right, and, after         returning to the Primary Menu and switching cells, use the same technique to   move the contents of the right cell to the left.  Your screen is now centered, and you can add any details you like.  The GARLAND: pictures were designed     this way.  If you press the left or right arrow key 15 times, you will move    your picture exactly half way across the screen.  You can use the same         technique to center vertically with the up and down keys. (To move half the    PE to return to the MOVE/COPY menu. Another useful option is MOVING WINDOW.  This helps you to see how the         contents of your workspace line up in relation to each other.  You can scroll  between cells, moving up, down, left, or right, depending on your current      cell.  Use the arrow keys to scroll, and the ESCAPE key when you are done.  No changes are possible from this function. PULL PICTURE allows you to move the entire screen in any direction, or to move just one 8-pixel row at a time.  You erased.  You are limited to 8-pixel increments.  Your frame can be square or oblong, but    can be no smaller than 8 pixels square and no larger than 64 pixels square. You are now presented with three options.  ERASE will eliminate the contents   of the frame:  all the foreground details will be gone, and the background     will be changed to default black.  (If you do not want black background, you   can change it later from any of three menus: GLOBAL COLOR, DRAW BACKGROUND, or even INSERT, using the spime, and the results do NOT appear on the screen instantly.  Holding the arrow key  down for too long can easily erase the entire picture.  If this happens, don't panic.  TO GET YOUR PICTURE BACK, PRESS THE <UNDO> KEY!!!!           PULL SCREEN also helps you to center graphics between cells. If you would like to place a picture in the middle of a letterhead, and then add details to      either side of the picture, you first copy the cell to the adjacent cell. Then use PULL SCREEN to pull the picture in Cery       useful for keeping interim versions of work in progress, for making            experimental changes, and for creating headers and footers. Select the number  of the cell you wish to copy to by pressing the corresponding number on the    keyboard (1 to 4, or 1 to 8, depending on the size of your memory expander.)   You can copy to as many cells as you like.  Each time, you will be shown the   contents of the new cell, and asked whether you really wish to replace it.     When you are done, press ESCAscreen VERTICALLY, press the key only ten times.) The other option in this menu is SET FRAME.  When you press this key, a small  shape appears which represents the location of the upper-left hand corner of   your frame.  You can move it across the screen with your arrow keys, and press <RETURN> to fix it in place.  Then another shape appears, representing the     lower right-hand corner.  Use the arrow keys and <RETURN> to finish your       frame.  Whatever is inside the frame can now be moved, copied, or probably will not use PULL BY ROW very    much, but it is handy for centering text.  PULL (entire) SCREEN is very        convenient for erasing large areas of graphics around any of the four edges of your screen.  For example, if you wish to eliminate the text on the bottom of  the CANDLES: picture, use the DOWN arrow key to pull the picture to the bottom of the screen until the text disappears.  Then use the UP arrow key to pull    the candles back in place.  MOVE SLOWLY.  The screen moves 8 pixels at a tace bar.)  Rather than ERASE, you can choose to MOVE or COPY the contents of the frame.   MOVE will put them in a different area, erasing them from the original         location.  COPY will leave the original graphics but place another copy of     them in a new location.  In either case, you choose the new location (in       8-pixel increments) with the arrow keys and fix in place with <RETURN>.   You  can MOVE or COPY to a different cell, too.  Hold down the Control key while    pressing either U or D (fthere is a way around it.   If you SAVE your picture as a SmartPAINT file, you can use a Public Domain     program by Digital Express called Simple PAINTER to replot the picture a few   pixels.  (There is also an updated version of this program released by The     SoftWORKS Factory.  Either version will do the trick.)  Though SimplePAINTER   is not as user-friendly as most DEI programs, it is free, and it works.  There are many reasons you might want to move portions of your screen to       another screen    Think of the contents of your frame as being Clip Art that you choose yourself from portions of your screen.  The difference is that the "clip" can be of     different sizes. (The minimum size is the same as a font letter, and the       maximum is as large as a regular clip.)  This flexibility means that you can   choose just a small portion of a clip and place it in various locations in     your workspace (in every cell, if you like.)  For example, you can set a frame around each individual ornament  so that you can place     part of it in one cell and part in another.  All those options are open to you from the MOVE/COPY menu.  Don't be afraid to experiment.  Have fun! e a few   pixels.  (There is also an updated version of this program released by The     SoftWORKS Factory.  Either version will do the trick.)  Though SimplePAINTER   is not as user-friendly as most DEI programs, it is free, and it works.  There are many reasons you might want to move portions of your screen to       another screenember that the correct keys for moving or copying the contents of a frame   to a different cell are Control plus U or D, NOT Control plus the arrow keys.  Do not be intimidated by all the references to "8 pixel increments". You do    not have to count pixels.  The frame will automatically count off the          increments.  Play with it and find out what you can and cannot do. If you ever become frustrated because something you've drawn does not fall     within the increments, you might want to know that or Up or Down.)  Control U will move to a             higher-numbered cell, and Control D will move to a lower-numbered cell.  When  your frame is in the correct cell, use the arrow keys to position it and       <RETURN> to fix it permanently.  You will be asked whether or not the results  are okay.  If you press Y, the change is permanent. Then you will return to    the original cell.  If you press N, you will return to the original cell, but  nothing will have happened.  You can start again if you like.   (besides the obvious reason that you might just WANT them       there.)  For example, you might want to change foreground or background colors on only one portion of your picture.  You might want to add texture or shading with Brushes.  You might want to REVERSE SCREEN to transform foreground into   background, and vice versa, without affecting any of the rest of the picture.  You might want to try any number of experimental changes before making them    permanent.  You might want to split a clip or spritein the "frame clips" on this volume (one at a  time) and move it to a new location. One word of caution: do NOT use the MOVE function unless you are moving to an  entirely new location.  If any portion of the new location overlaps any        portion of the old location, the contents of the frame will be ERASEd instead. When in doubt, use the COPY function.  Then you can follow up with ERASE if    you still need to get rid of anything.

They were SAVED in "high res" (or           SmartPaint) form in order to be accessible to those who do   not own PoweTHIS NOTE serves as "documentation" to explain the files on  this medium called EdZtop.HRP and EdZbot.HRP.  These are     graphics files.  They were SAVED in "high res" (or           SmartPaint) form in order to be accessible to those who do   not own P12 articles from the STARTER PAK II {Jerome's  Revenge}. So this month I'll pick up where I left    off last time with a short recap.As of this point you have ALL the files for UNZIP pulled out of the library    and onto a DDP. Now we are going to upset a lot of people, because as I said   I'm  going to treat the remainder ofthis set of articles as though you are     running STRICTLY from 2 DDP's. The reason for this is that most  ADAMITES have 2 DDP's and SP2 was arranged so as to fit onto a DDP in its etions I have  seen yet for PowerPAINT.  EVERYBODY should be able to find a way to use these files, customizing them to taste.To use in PowerPAINT, load EdZtop.HRP into Cell 1, and       EdZbot.HRP into Cell 3.  You can also use the COPY CELL      option to copy Cell 1 to Cells 2, 5, and 6; and Cell 3 to    Cells 4, 7, and 8.  That would give you 4 full labels per    PowerPAINT workspace.These files were first published in the October, 1990 issue  of the MOAUG newsletter; but they can now be considered  R23 a:*.* b:*.*     Your DDP's will spin and the screen will update to let you know that there is  actually work that is being done. As the  DDP's are slow (but dependable) this is a real good time to go bake a cake!When all is said and done you will be ablbe to DIR B: and should get a listing of all the files that WERE on drive A: except that now they are in a usable    form!!!As always DOC files can (and in this case should) be printed out to give you a more indepth explanation of what we are going The following article is part of a continuing series (BIOS CALL) by Jerome     Hess, MOAUG CP/M librarian.  It was first published in the Dec, 1990 MOAUG nl.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yo  ADAMITES!!!! Tis I Jerome of the Great  White  NORTH! Coming at you once again with BIOS CALL, the number one place for CP/M info!To explain my absence last month is a LOOOOONG story, but to shorten it the    movers trashed my harddrive so now I have to  REWRITE all owerPAINT; however, in practice, they are probably  really valuable only to PowerPAINT owners.   These files were given to me at ADAMCON 02 in Toronto by Ed  Zielinski, who drew them in PowerPAINT (using giant letters  from POWERTOOLS.)  Together, the two screens form an insert  that fits EXACTLY inside a standard cassette case.  That     means the insert could be used to make customized labels for digital datapacks, or even for musical tapes.  This is one   of the very nicest, and most practical, applicantirety.So boot CP/M and load the DDP with all of the De-lbr'd files into drive A :    and place another BLANK, CP/M FORMATTED  and sysgened DDP into drive B:.       Basically all you have to do is copy all the UNZIP files to a blank DDP. When  you have finished this copy procedure copy UNCR20.COM onto that DDP   as well.Now we all have 2 CP/M DDP's in ADAM.  In drive A: we have all the unzip files PLUS UNCR23.COM and on drive B: we have nothing!  From here it is a simple     matter to type:       UNC    Public Domain.  Copy and share at will.  If you wish to      express your appreciation (which is the best form of         encouragement!) contact Ed directly:Ed Zielinski539 Chicora RdButler, PA 16001OR... if you happen to print Ed's files... it would be a     really nice gesture on your part to send him a copy of the   reprint.  Ed is a rather isolated ADAMite who with the       proper incentive may produce more PD stuff in the future...  HINT, HINT.........PJ Herrington, MOAUGctical, applicato do here. But this article     will give you the short   course...Now on drive A: we have all of the files that were pulled out of the UNZIP.LBR and on drive B we have those SAME files, but in a more usable form! To save    time and DDP's we  are going to ERASE EVERYTHING on drive A:. Don't worry you  always have the ORIGINAL files in the UNZIP.LBR, so that if  anything goes     wrong you can go back and correct it later!!   So go to drive A: and type:         ERA *.*     Adam will check to make surte to me at my old P.O. Box # for the next few months. As soon as  I establish a new Box here it will  be forwarded. I can't give out my home address due to the unreliability of the residential deliveries here during the upcoming seasons..    But as always I   check into the Net once a week, just drop me a line........    Jerome Hess  MOAUGu have just told ADAM to do is to UNZIP ALL the files in MOAUG2 and     place them on drive B: That cake is probably   ready to be frosted and EATEN   now.....DP with MOAUG2.ZIP on it.Once you've got your DDP's straight go to drive B: and   COPY B:MOAUG2.ZIP A:Since MOAUG2.ZIP is a pretty long file it might be a good time to get up and   take the cake out of the oven so as to give it time to cool.....Now on drive A: we have all the UNZIP files, UNCR23.COM and MOAUG2.ZIP (and    it's getting just a TAD crowded too!).Now comes the fun part. Insert the BLANK, FORMATTED, SYSGENED DDP from the     previous paragraph into drive B: and   hit CTRL-C after everynta hat, along with another short spoof.  Editors may copy the original page or, if you do not have access to the MOAUG nl, you may request a copy of the page from editor Pat Herrington.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  SANTA CLAUS & BARRY WILSON:     SEPARATED AT BIRTH?                                   Santa Claus:                 Barry Wilson:                         =========================   =========================                          * DistriIf all goes well when you come back from dessert you should  have a B: drive   that is OVERFLOWING with files. Some bare files, some crunched files and quite a few libraries. You know that all is going well when ADAM has settled down    and you take a DIR of drive B: and at least ONE of the files is called         VDE263.LBR.  VDE263 is a complete full screen editor  and, if all goes well    will be the forthcoming subjects for the next few months....Ok. Aside from ADAM you will be able to continue to wrie that that's what you want to do, then it will     proceed with the erasure.Once that's complete you will want to take the (now) blank DDP out of drive A: and put the UNZIP DDP (from drive B:) into drive A: - Always remember that     when you change DDP's you'll want to finish the process with a CONTROL C so as to tell poor ADAM what you've done!Now in drive A: you have your working copy of UNZIP, into DRIVE B: you will    want to put your ORIGINAL (or backup copy) of the STARTER PAK II. This is the  D‚O     Santa Claus:                 Barry Wilson:                         =========================   =========================                          * Distributes giftThe following article is a tongue-in-cheek comparison of Barry Wilson to Santa Claus.

But then, Joe's wife  isn't complaining any more about those frequent trips to the track, either.This is an ingeniously simple program.  It prompts you for data available from the racing form and, using that data, evaluates each dog and gives it a        comparative score.  When you get to the track you simply put your money on the dogs your ADAM has rated highest.If you enjoy a sporting evening at the dog track, my recommendation is that    you send $14.95 ($16.95 DDP) to Joe and pick up this newxOoblem of blurry monitor display.

Then, next time someone asks, "What do you DO with your computer?", you can tell them about something more exciting than          SmartWRITER.ZORAN IIIby ADAMZAP SoftwarePicture this...You are a programmer working at the Pentagon where ADAM computers have become  the computer of choice, replacing IBM's (...it's a FANTASY, OK??).  The BOSS   calls you in to tell you that a mad genius programmer has infected Pentagon    Central, the government's BBS foong as it's simulation, couldn't it have been at least a 1200 baud modem?What is more important, though, is that this game is a highly creative         invention.  Start it up, but don't tell your friends it is simulation.  They   will think you've dialed onto a BBS.  If you are a regular BBS user, you will  be amused by the simulation.  If you don't even own a modem, this is a great   way to learn a little about how a BBS operates.  And have a little fun to      boot.  (Pun intended.)AdamZAP's programs, there  are so many suspects!OK - except for a nifty little plot twist, it sounds just like any other text  adventure game.  I realize that a certain segment of the population has the    same devotion to this type of entertainment that some people have to soap      operas, science fiction, or Harlequin Romances.  Personally, I find text       adventures tedious and boring.  They just don't hold my attention.  But WAIT!  ZORAN III is a text adventure with a difference!Besides a catchy plot, author Eric le any more?  Simply, because it is one of  the best games I have ever seen!This game is both mentally and physically challenging, requiring hairtrigger   reflexes, strong logic and excellent mental reflexes to work your way through  the maze.  The sound is clever, with an excellent approximation of crashing    boulders.  Screen movement is wild!  You must solve the screen in an allotted  time.  The character onscreen sprints through the maze of boulders, but if you pause with your joystick, even for a se the higher levels of your brain to outwit the enemy.  However, you soon learn that the responses to your input, though clever when   first viewed, are canned.  In other words, you get the same response in the    same place in the program each time.  It could make the game wear a bit thin   after awhile.  It would have been more interesting if there had been several   possible responses given in random order at key points in the game.The other problem is that you are working with a "300 baud modem."  As lr Pentagon employees that work from their      home, with a sinister virus that is slowly, methodically taking over the       system. Its name is ... ZORAN! Its goal is to gain control of the main defense computers and launch an attack on the whole world!  (I told you this dude was  bad!)  Your mission, as a top ADAM programmer, is to get into the BBS and find the killer virus, and stop it before it destroys the world.  The hard part is, if you are trying to track down an ADAM programmer who is a mad genius keep improving with each release.  Several more are planned over the next few months on an ambitious release schedule.  If they are as     imaginative as ZORAN III, we have a lot to look forward to!BOULDER DASH        by Quest SoftwareAt the ADAM Store, an event at ADAMCON 02, I bought a used copy of Boulder     Dash.  It is an arcade game, apparently written in CP/M, originally released   by Quest Software.  They also released Miner 49er.  So why am I writing about  an old game that isn't even availabDanz has added another unusual gimmick.     The entire program plays as though you were actually on a BBS!  You dial-in,   log-on, make menu selection, and go into various files just as you would on a  live BBS.  To the casual BBS user like myself, you might forget you are not    plugged into the phone line.

Searching for Zoran is challenging    and requires some use ofcond, he faces the player, folds his    arms, and taps his tennis-shoed foot impatiently.The basic premise is this: you have to collect the "diamonds" scattered about  the screen.  As you "dash" around, you cause "boulders" to fall around you.    Some boulders you have to intentionally cause to fall to allow you to get to   the diamonds.  Others will fall no matter how much you try to avoid them.      Make a wrong move and you will bring the boulders tumbling down onto you!The "screen" is actually four hering all your extra       hardware, excess software, your old Uncle Ernie's Toolkit (still a great       program!) and that cartridge game you haven't played in years.  Take it to     ADAMCON 03.  Somebody there will find treasure in your "trash".  And you are   going to find some treasures of your own.

Now, Rich Lefko reports in the MOAUG newsletter that Barry Wilson, (the same fellow who founded the ADAM News Network) plans a book to be titled "The ADAM Survival Guide." Lefko is soliciting contributions to his chapter, the Miscellaneous section; "which will include tips, tricks, hints, ADAM odditreturn' keys. Using a standard controller, you can make an overlay to slide into the side, just like some of the games. The speed comes from not having to  search for the proper key. After a while you get to know where the key is without looking." Dean Roades, 463 ADAM, Jan.'91.ÅWordstar, PC-File and others, allowing data to be freely interchanged." MOAUG, Jan.'91.  The program is $25 US.  PowerPAINT is one of the most popular graphics creation programs for the ADAM.  "As I was running through the funimmense amount of good in this world if you don't care who gets the credit." No, it wasn't George Bush either.   EDITOR'S NOTE: As far as I know, the ADAM Survival Guide is scheduled for release at ADAMCON 03 with a projected price of $20:00 per copy. The book is planned for reproduction in both Canada and the USA. Your Editor, as A.N.N User Group Coordinator will be preparing the chapter on User Groups.  SYDEX, P.O.Box 5700, Eugene, OR. 97405, USA, has added four new ADAM disk formats to its 22DISK proer versions and many believe that it is even better than version 3.0. One unfortunate thing about TDOS is that it is not 100% compatible with CP/M. It was meant to be, but time has proven that there are a fairly large number of CP/M programs that simply won't run under TDOS. These failures are inexplicable and follow no pattern. CP/M on the other hand, is outstandingly reliable."  Keene concludes that TDOS is like ZCPR, another CP/M replacement: "New? Yes!, Different? Yes!,  Better? Not hardly!."  As they ctions of PowerPAINT," Ancil commented, "It doesn't really work that fast". "I am certainly no expert with PowerPAINT, but I am familiar with the functions. The main reason I am able to move around quickly in PowerPAINT is the use of the [game] controller. Many people don't know that you can use it. The buttons 1 - 6 work the same was as the Smart Keys I -VI. The bottom 6 buttons are the same as the six function buttons in the upper right corner of the keyboard. The fire buttons double as the 'escape' and 'ies and such." Å¡27,108,69¡27,81,129¡27,97,3×57Send contributions to him at 20 Ashley Drive, Milford, NH, 03055, USA.   Book may run to 200 pages and will have chapters on all aspects of the ADAM,  Lefko says.

"22DISK converts CP/M files and programs to the DOS disk format and back into any of the other recognized CP/M disk formats, thereby allowing ADAM users to import programs written for other CP/M machines. Files can also be transferred between ADAM and DOS machines for use in Wordstar, PC-File and others, allowing data to be freely interchanged."

Do you suppose ADAM will still be alive and kicking when we celebrate New Years Day in that next palindromic year ?  I sure hope so!"  "It is a very rare occurence for the 110 year rule to yield to the 11 year rule. In fact, the period of 11 years, the Type and Number of EXTERNAL     FORMATS that can be tied into the DB and mainly, the SPEED of        operation on a given machine. \\\\Some programming languages are processed and read more rapidly than  others. The speed, the variety of ways the program can manipulate    information and the number of entry records it will take are         critical. In general, there isn't nearly the selection of database   programs available for the ADAM that there is for other applications such as word processing,ons, do   mailing labels and merge DB information into FORMATS (Forms, Form    Letters, Documents requiring inserts or simple REARRANGEMENT of the  DB fields) you create. In general, it has reasonable flexibility in  structuring the fields, will intake a fair number of records and has SOME flexibility in it's search and recovery skills. For the price,  it isn't bad but it has a real limitation if you are a serious       database user. It is limited to a maximum input of 24 characters and spaces in 32 fieldsåååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååå records but it's    very slow and the search time to get them out is long. But the main  limitation of SmartFILER is that it will only SEARCH up to four      fields. This means you could have 32 headings on each record but the program will only search four of them by title.\\\\I have to be honest and say that while I really liked several        features of SmartFILER, I also found problems. I liked it because it was quick, relatively easy to structure, easy to enter and feed and  gave fairly flexible ret to get the organized, hard copy file cards it will type. They found it was      quicker to use the cards than fire up the ADAM, load the program and recover info' from the computer. But, as a beginner tool to learn    the basics of database entry and operation, RECIPE FILER isn't       bad.\\\\SMARTFILER:\\\\This is a more sophisticated program and costs more. It has the      basics of a good but modest database, if only it were reliable. It   will display and print information in several field selecti games and graphics.\\\\ADAM DATABASE PROGRAMS.\\\\There are a few varieties of databases for the ADAM. I haven't tried them all. For example, I haven't tried MICROFILE, the database out   of the Strategic Software people on their integrated MicroWORKS      program. Some of the ADAM database programs I have tried are as      follows:\\\\RECIPE FILER.\\\\This was a Coleco program designed for quick and simple entry of     things like cooking recipes. Database programs, like RECIPE FILER,   are quite , of which 4 are searchable fields. Total input   is 255 characters per record. SmartFILER will only allow you         Character and Numerical files but not Logical. (True/False, Yes/No). It will allow you only one database per media (disc or tape). You    must use the separate program to prepare each storage medium and     then you must load the program each time you want to open up your    storage media. A disc will take only about 180 RECORDS of the 255    character size forms. A tape will take about 400ååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååååurns. I really liked the fact that the last  item on the entry template (form) was automatically a TEXT field.    This means that instead of being a limited Numerical or Character    entry, the last entry could be up to two pages of remarks or         unstructured commment TEXT. The upside of this is great. It's just   like having the ability of putting personal notes on the bottom or   back of a filing card. The first downside is the inability to search or cross-reference the comments. The second and biggeled directly to the second problem. I could not conveniently    make back-up storage media copies. The first warning was the fact    the instruction book index didn't even have the words "COPY" or      "BACKUP" in it. I tried to make backups using SmartFILER, then using Disk Manager, and finally a dedicated copy program. I tried going    from disc to disc, disc to tape and tape to tape. Nothing. Even when I used a program like COPY3 or PROCOPY, the backups created just     wouldn't work. In all fairness, I he last 80 records simply had no space for comments. The biggest rock I have to throw against SmartFILER, however, concerns   the problems of reliability and backup files. In a word, it AIN'T    and you CAN'T.\\\\27 VERSIONS:\\\\I have two different copies of SmartFILER. Both are store bought     Coleco originals. Both are discs and I have the guarantee cards on   them. (Not much good now!). On both copies, I have problems          re-entering databases after I have gone to the trouble of creating   theworks well, but it will just blink out. Regardless of the cause, I don't   trust SmartFILER any more so I kiss $80 down the drain.\\\\INDEX:\\\\Index by Strategic Software is a form of database that I do trust    and use a lot. This program is normally contained on a commercial    utility progran called TURBOLOAD. Cost is about $25 but you get      three distinct programs on one medium. You get Turboload, File       Organizer and Index, a\ very simple database program that \\\r~45,80\\\K\B\A\\\\\\good except that on, at least, six   occasions, I have been unable to get back into the database because  the program disc wants to re-initialize the storage database disc,   whether I want that or not. When it happens you can kiss your        database goodbye. You can prevent it initializing again and wiping   out your DB but then you still have the problem of getting into the  database. I couldn't get back in, so, thinking it was operator       failure. I had to wipe out the DB and start again.\\\\That r downside is   the space allowance given. While the program told me I had the       ability to store up to 2 pages of text on 180 records, it would run  out of text storage space, without warning, after about 100 records. \\\r~05,80\K\W\B\CMAR/APR '91.

That meant thave to say I talked to other      owners of SmartFILER and they don't seem to have complaints. I don't know whether that's because they haven't pushed SmartFILER as hard   as I have or if they have different versions. My versions are both   REVISION 27D, 8/16/84. You will find the Revision by holding down    the CONTROL key and R keys at the same time.) I get very suspicious  of anything that isn't right after 26 revisions. I'm fairly sure     that it's not operator error because when SmartFILER works, it m. One of the peculiarities of SmartFILER is that the program     must initialize any storage media. If there is anything else on the  medium, the initializing will clear it, database or not. In theory,  once initialized and with a new database in place, you should be     able to re-enter the storage database by simply running in the       program, bringing up the ENTRY screen and punching the proper        SmartKEYS to tell the storage that you want to view, or get a report or add more data. The theory is \\\\\\is worth every cent you paid for the  entire package. I only use     Index about once or twice a month and it's still worth it. All it    does is to produce a printed, alphabetic, listing of up to 1000      files contained on almost any number of tapes or discs. All you do   is run in the program, then start stuffing in your media, tape or    disc, into the computer while you hit one SmartKEY. \\\\As the directory of each tape or disc is flash read, the name of the media "volume" pops onto the scworks, as do Loran tapes. If you have a "jam", you     have to string fifty feet of tape to clear it. And it did jam. I     think the Memorex tapes do not have enough drag to allow for the     high speed reversing of the digital datadrive. The feed reel kept    spewing tape and created frequent jams. Between the incomplete       documentation, the small input capacity and the tape jams, this one  went into permanent storage. It just wasn't worth the aggravation.   Sorry guys, no gold medal for this one, evet        memory, but it does a great utility job. If you have a lot of tapes  and disc like I do, this is the best little database program ever    designed.\\\\EASYFILER:\\\\This was touted as being the Canadian equivalent of SmartFILER, only better. It was designed by a fellow in Toronto and sold through      CompuStores at about $30. It was supposed to do big databases,       giving a lot more records than SmartFILER. An advantage listed was   that you could use several tapes to store a large databasen  I'm at home. The faster I can define, locate and recover information or the more varieties of ways I can use the database with different  format letters or applications, the better off I am. If I can get an ADAM database that will be compatible with my office database or     will allow modem communications, that would really help me.\\\\dBASE II and CP/M:\\\\It's taken a long while to get and set up a database that meets my   requirements but the one that will do the job is dBase II on the     CP/M cine typewritten pages of documentation, contained in  a SmartWRITER DOC file on the tape. It looked good but after working with it, I found it had so many omissions I had to write to the      designer. He called me and proceeded to tell me about a lot of       "tricks" that didn't get put in the documentation. I never did get   it to work consistently.\\\\A more serious problem was the tape itself. The tape was a Memorex   audio cassette. They are heat-sealed and have no screws to permit    access to the reen. When you have finished entering all you media, (Very Quick), use print controls as normal. You will  get back an alphabetized INDEX list of all your directories, showing FILENAME, TYPE, LENGTH, and, best of all, which MEDIA IT IS          CONTAINED ON. Fantastic. Wonderful. No more looking through the      directories of 50 discs to find that one file. The downside is it    has no provision for putting the index on screen or into memory.     Print it or lose it. As a database, this one has a very shorn if it is a Canadian     product.\\~05,80Concluded on Page 31.\\ \r~05,80\K\W\B\CMAR/APR '91.

My   business is based on information and a lot of ideas come to me whe, or put   several databases on one tape. It would take 40 fields, input up to  30 characters on each and SEARCH all 40 fields. Sounds great until   you check and find that the maximum record was only 128 characters.  THAT'S SHORT!. It really means you could only do about 4 1/4 of the  30 character lines on a record. You might have 40 fields but you     coudn't even get 4 input characters in each field. By comparison,    SmartFILER takes 255 input characters plus the text at the bottom.\\\\EASYFILER had narrier. dBase II was designed by Ashton-Tate Inc., for the IBM environment, but some helpful programmer melded it to a CP/M system  and it will run on almost any kind of computer, including our        orphan, ADAM.

T-DOS can be installed for many hardware configurations and has many options   for you to choose from.  The installation example was set up for a TV type     monitor, but T-DOS is capable of driving an 80 column display as well.ed     T-DOS medium to Walters Software and they will make up a boot cartridge for    you from your medium.  Now you can boot T-DOS from the cartridge and save wear and tear on your drives.Built-in (Resident) Commands:The following commands are built into the T-DOS CCP and represent an           improvement over the original CP/M commands.  1. DIRECTORY (prints a sorted directory to the screen)  2. TYPE (prints an  ASCII file to the screen)  3. LIST (prints an ASCII file to the screen and printer)  UNAMBIGUOUS FILE NAME (UFN).The [/n] option lets you disable the paging.3. The LIST Command:LIST is similar to TYPE but it sends the selected file to the screen AND the   printer.  It adjusts its default page length to 58 lines and sends a FORM FEED to the printer at the end of every page.  It has the following syntax:          LIST [du:]UFN [/n]If you want to LIST a file that already has form feeds in it, use the '/n'     option to suppress the line count.Next month I will continue discussingeneral syntax is: DIR [du:][afn] ...where [du] is the optional drive/user designation and the    [afn] is Ambiguous File Name.  (I'll discuss file names later.)Acceptable command forms are as follows:                  DIR - Returns a sorted directory for all files on the                        default drive, same as DIR *.*            DIR *.COM - Returns directory information for all .COM files on                         the default drive          DIR READ.ME - Returns directory information for the f UNAMBIGUOUS FILE NAME (UFN).The [/n] option lets you disable the paging.3. The LIST Command:LIST is similar to TYPE but it sends the selected file to the screen AND the   printer.  It adjusts its default page length to 58 lines and sends a FORM FEED to the printer at the end of every page.  It has the following syntax:          LIST [du:]UFN [/n]If you want to LIST a file that already has form feeds in it, use the '/n'     option to suppress the line count.Next month I will continue discussing        TDOS.COM located in user area 3 of the default drive.         2.  The TYPE Command:The TYPE command will print a file to the screen 24 lines at a time, pausing   at each screen.  Simply press RETURN to carry on.  If you want to abort the    display, press RETURN twice in succession. Similar to the DIR command, TYPE can print a file from any drive/user area. It has the following syntax:          TYPE [du:]UFN [/n]Note that no wild cards are allowed in the file name as denoted by the         4. COPY (copies files between drives and user areas)  5. DELETE (erases files)  6. RENAME (renames files)  7. CLEAR SCREEN (clears the screen, like ^L in the EOS system)  8. SAVE (saves the contents of memory to disk or tape)  9. GO (restarts the program in memory)1.  The DIRECTORY command:The DIRECTORY command returns a sorted directory listing of the contents of    any specified drive and/or user area.  A sorted directory listing is one that  is sorted alphabeticallly by the program name.  The g the Resident Commands and perhaps we'll  get into the utility files that come with T-DOS.If you have any questions or need any help with T-DOS, you can contact me      (James Poulin) at the following phone numbers:Work: (407) 853-4775          Home: (407) 631-0958          FAX:(407) 730-3025imilar to the DIR command, TYPE can print a file from any drive/user area. It has the following syntax:          TYPE [du:]UFN [/n]Note that no wild cards are allowed in the file name as denoted by the        ile READ.ME on                        the default drive               DIR A: - Returns a directory of all the files on the "A" drive          DIR A:*.?O? - Returns a directory of all files on drive "A" that                        have an "O" in the center position of the extension              DIR B5: - Returns a directory listing of all files on drive "B"                        that are located in user area "5"       DIR 3:TDOS.COM - Returns a directory listing of the specified file                .      ABOUT ELLIAM ASSOCIATESThe following was provided by Elliam Associates.    Elliam   Associates is an advertiser in our upcoming Adam Survival    Guide.Please write them for their Adam/CPM catalog and also let    them know you appreciate their support of Adam, ANN ,        Adamcons & Adam Survival Guide..      ABOUT ELLIAM ASSOCIATESHere is my version of how things happen-ed and what we, Elliam Associates do. "Once upon a time" when CP/M and  micro-computers were getting started the Telearas also wrote ScreenChop for the ADAM.   The program split long lines  to eliminate sideways scrolling.  We sold a bushel of them.When  I got my IBM XT compatible  I  had Don Tarbell put it together for me.   It was  a  one of a kind.  It  had  Maynard disk  controller  that  allowed  me   to handle  an 8" disk.  By the time  I  was finished  it  had 2  regular  360K  disk drives,  an AT drive, a 96tpi drive,  8" and  3-1/2" and a hard drive.  Don  ins-talled  a  rotary switch so I  could  gohow 5-1/4"  disks  and disk  drives  came into  existence.   Of course  the fact that 5-1/4" drives  and disks  were cheaper than 8"  might  have had something to do with it.Since there was no imposing disk  format standard as with the 8 disks, each manu-facturer  worked with the NIH  (not  in-vented  here) principle and created  his own disk format.  Suddenly no one  could move  software  from  one  computer   to another  because the disk  formats  were all different.Needless  to say softwar sold a pot full of  these crazy Amstrad word  processors and  that the owners were just  starting to find out that they were really a good CP/M machine and wanted software.  After getting  a  3" drive I  had  Mike  Karas write  the software and we were  in  the Amstrad world. Since then I have gotten an Amstrad  (it is British and made in Asia) and added a 5-1/4" disk to it.  With software I  can read  and write many CP/M disks as  well as  the  standard 360K  DOS  disk.   The Amstrad  is  notnd send programs back and forth.By this time Elliam Associates had  come into existence and we were selling  CP/M software  and were faced with  disk  in-compatibility.  Our solution was to  get a  5-1/4"  disk controller and  plug  it into  our Tarbell CP/M 8"  machine.   We had  Mike Karas (who wrote the  original version  of  WASH)  write  some  special software  that let us format,  read  and and  write a number of the most  popular 5-1/4"  disk formats.  This  was  before Uniform. Mike K-type and paper tape was the input/output device.   Next came the J.C. Penny  tape recorder  then  somebody  added  a  disk drive for data storage.  At the time the only  thing available was the IBM  style 8"  drive  and everybody used  that  and also the IBM style disk format -  single sided,  single  density.   "And   behold everyone  could swap disks  because  the disk formats were the same."Someone  left  an 8" disk drive  and  8" disk  out in the sun too long  and  they shrank.   That is  from  one disk to another.  In  addition to Uniform I added MicroSolutions Match-point  and Matchmaker cards that let  me read and write Apple DOS and CP/M  disks as well as MAC disks with a MAC drive. We use UniDos also since it allows us to run CP/M programs on my DOS machine.   I have  not  found any CP/M  program  that will not run with Unidos.A  year  or so ago I had a call  from  a customer  who wanted me to  supply  CP/M software  on  3" disks not  3-1/2".   He explained that Sears hade  manufacturers and  sellers  were delighted  with  this turn  of events.  It meant that  instead of creating or stocking one version of a program  you  had  to  have  one  for  a Morrow, another for Kaypro, Televido and on  and  on - over  400  different  disk formats.One way to overcome this obstacle was to use  a modem and send programs and  data over  the phone lines from one  computer to  another.   You could plug  two  com-puters together with a null modem  cable (pins 2 and 3 crossed) a being  shipped  to  the United  States  any more  but  is  going great guns in Europe.  Software is still being written for the Amstrad.  We  just got a desktop publishing package,  while its  no Ventura Publisher it  stacks  up well  against  some of the  current  DOS packages  available  and  remember   its running in only 64K.A  couple of months ago my  floppy  disk controller  on the XT "went south" so  I now  have  a  386  using  a  CompatiCard floppy  disk controller with  all  those dri who will use it  and  a new  life  cycle  for  a  CP/M   machine starts. For information about our CP/M  software and Disk Copying Service send a SASE for a flyer, $1.00  for a catalog to  Elliam Associates,  P.O.
