WHATS NEW IN BOOKS?
Lately I have been getting copies of new
book releases from the RESTON Publishing
Company in Reston Virginia* It seems the
folks at Reston have been releasing many new
and very informative books for Atari users*
Here is a spotlight on what is new in the way
of Atari related books«
A r) VElSCTtJRES TaTI XH
THE AXjAuRI
By J ack Hardy
Reston Publishing^ $14f95
This book will show you how to become the
ultimate Dungeon Master by creating your own
adventures on your Atari« Part 1 provides a
brief explanation of the basic steps involved
in creating computer adventures, followed by
six actual adventures you can study t inputt
and play*
Included are three interactive adventures
(part 2) and three graphic adventures (part 3}#
one in each of the Atari PILOT, Microsoft
BASIC, and Atari BASIC languages* (For the
sake of brevity, a rudimentary knowledge of
computer languages is assumed)*
Finally* part 4 offers instructions and
programs to guide you in creating your own
computer adventure* Appendices include
complete program listings for the six games
presented in the book, plus additional
information which will help you get the most
out of your Atari computer and enhance your
adventure^-tnaking skills*

ACTIVITIES FOR THE
AT ART
By Nancy Mayer
Reston Publishing^ $12*95
Turn the Atari computer into a toy store!
Rainy Day Activities for the Atari contains
programs for 50 games of music# art> letters
and numbers for kids 3 to 9*
Program listings are short so parents or
older children can quickly enter them on the
terminal* No programming experience is
necessary — just the ability to read!
Several games require only the ability to
hold and move a joystick* Others require a
little more coordination or some knowledge of
letters or numbers* For a few games^ the child
needs the ability to read or the help of an
adult*
All games can be played with one or two
players, and the level of difficulty can be
adjusted to each child's ability*

DESIOlStS FROM TTOXJR.
lMIlStI3 —
with A±^ir± Gir^jp hiicrs
By Tom Rowley
Reston Publishing
" Whether we are aware of it or not^ we are
all artists and have accumulated a store of
unique experiences and perceptions ready to
be translated into creative expressions***"
Tom Rowley has found the key to release
those creative urges* Designs From Your Mind
will help you to unlock the secrets of Atari
graphics in a painless, informative way* The
book is divided into two parts* Part one
introduces shapes, colors, and screen design*
It does not require extensive computer
background* Part two deals with advanced
graphics techniques*
In addition to a fine tutorial approach, the
book offers many useful appendices, charts,
tables, and program routines* If you are
serious about learning and getting the most
out of Atari graphics, this is the book for you!

FROMT COVER
This months front cover was created using
HUMPTY DUMP, a screen dump program by
Kid's Stuff Software*
By Mike Lechkun
Th# MfMiter Ctmsumer Electronics Sliow (or CES
as it has come to be known as) was held this
past January 7th thru 10th* Las Vegas*
Nevada was itm host as it has been in the past
12 or so years* And also the South Nevada
Atari Computer Club have been hosts to
members of MACE when we have been out
there* Special thanks go out to Rick Rowland
and Steve Philipott of SNACC for an enjoyable
tifne in the dty of gambling* Their hospitality
is appreciated and most welcomed!
This was truly the year of the telephone at
CES* How's that for an understatement!
Actually there were phones of every kindi
shape* size* color* race* creed and ethnic
origin imaginable* Who says AT&T is the only
one to benefit from divestiture?
Also on display was the newest in sattelite
technology* stereo and video, sound and
sights* robots and most everything electronic*
It seems most everyone had something new to
show* except* * »
Fir-st: trhe GOOD news
Well* ATARI did show up« Their user-group
support people didn't show because of
budgetary problems* That made it real hard to
get any straight answers* Or any ansi^ers a^t
all* The emphasis was on "cut the baloney and
sell the computers*" And that they did* Sort
oft
ISEow the B jAlO news
There will be no 1400XL computer* Atari has
instituted a new policy promising not to show
anything unless it is ready to be shipped to
the consumers* I suppose there is optimism in
that there will be no more lifting of hopes
only to have them dashed^ At any rate* the
1400XL was not shown* Also not shown was
the CP/M adaptor or the expansion box*
Whether those n^l 11 see the light of your
neighborhood computer store or not remains to
be seen* At least with an ATARI logo on the
box*
Nothing new in the way of hardware was
shown* but a few re-introductions were made*
The Atari Light Pen has resurfaced* as well as
the Atari Graphics (Touch) Tablet* The latter
has an uncanny resemblance to the Koala Pad*
The same company that helped Koala develop
the software for it also aided Atari in theirs*
Another re-introduction was the Atari 1450XL
computer* But this one's real iffy* There
were two working prototypes on display* That
means they made one more since the last CES*
A staggering production rate to say the least!
No one would say when or if ttie 1450XL would
be produced* but my quasi-reliable source
says we'll see the 1450XL about mid year 1984*
The future of Atari as a company is a real
mixed bag* North American Phillips will NOT
buy Atari from their parent company* (the
blunder-* er* wonderful) WARNER
COMMUNICATIONS* INC* Nolan Bushnell will
NOT buy Atari backr Even Rupert Murdoch
doesn't want to be bothered by them (or so
I've heard)* That dispells those rumors* In an
address to a group of interested investors*
James Morgan* Atari's chairman and C*E*0*
spoke of the company's future* In a way* he
established mim priorities for the company*
Atari will be profitable in 1984* Maybe not
first quarter* maybe not second quarter* But
when the diapered babe of '85 appears* from
his pen will flow black ink* Mr* Morgan also
granted an interview which will be printed in
the March '84 ANTIC magazine that stated the
following: "ATARI IS IN THE COMPUTER
BUSINESS TO STAY*" However, the priorities
of the company* in this reporters eyes seem to
be the following* #1 answer to the
stockholders* and #2 deal with the computer
owners* Quoting Morgan* "we're poised to be
a reliable creator and manufacturer of
products the consumer wants*" Or in other
words* products with mass appeal will get the
nod* CP/M Boxes* 256K* and other curiosities
like that will sit on the R&D department's
shelf for quite a while* Afterall* "it's
absolutely nonproductive to sell something
just because you can make it* as opposed to
selling something because someone wants it*"
Well* one more comment to beat this topic to
death* Atari seeks to find a product as
innovative as the VCS was when it was new
and expensive* Thus the reason for the
absence of AtariTel*
Drifting away from commentary and into the
factsf Ataril^ sdencs #xp«riin«nt Mts miU
come out in '84 along with some new software*
Synapse and Atari will introduce their new
SynApps applications package starting in
February and going on into '84# Synapse also
introduced Slamball (another video pinball
gwmif Rainbow Walker and Encountert three
new games and announced that Dimention X
will finally be available for the Atari* I was
impressed by Electronic Arts new Music
Construction Kit* It will be out "in two
weeks*" Sega announced release of another
Star Trek game "The Search for Spock"* to be
released in June with the movie of the same
name*
A newly formed company called DATABAR
Corporation has produced a bar code reader
input device for the ATARI* Their new devioi
called "Oscar" will read lines of UPC type bar
code and input though the normal cassette
system commands (CJLOADf RVN"CO* They
promise oodles of software to boot (sic)* They
will produce Oscar's for other computers after
the Atari version is on the market*
Media news* Pdlaroidf MMiciii^# F4iiif §m4 TDK
all introduced new tape and disk media for the
home computer user* For you
telecommunicatorSf TG Products introduced
their TCM-300 & ICI 1200 Intellegent
Communication Interface (modem)# designed to
compete with the folks over at Hayes in both
design and price*
Some c:ort<€J.Ljsi.ons
Ail in all> despite what you have read above»
it was a pretty tame show this year* S#ffit
shaking-out^ some re-evaluations* and some
changes wiU take place during the year* Many
more niHi# products will be unveiled at the
Chicago show this summer* And the MACE
JOURNAL will be there to bring you the
latest when it happens!
January, 1984* The New Year* The Year of
Orwell* I think that if I hear that one more
time, I'm gonna puke! But seriously, there is
a lot to think about for the coming year*
Where ATARI stands for the coming year*
Where MACE stands* as well* We tend to put
on a good front up there at the monthly
meeting, but behind the scenes, this ship is
sinking fast* It's the same people who always
volunteer to help out* Not that I'm knocking
that, but we'd sure like to see some new faces
and names in addition to "the regulars*" Tired
of seeing my name on the by-line nf this lor
any) column? Contribute to the JOURNAL! It
won't take much to push me off this page«
Review a gaitie nr a book* There are no style
requirements* Tell in your own words,
however long (or short!) it takes* But come
forward f folksf This is your user-group mwi
your Journal as well* It's as good as you
make iti and I know it can be excellent*
I'll close with a look back from wence we
came* And I promise this is the last
1 983- Year— in-Review you'll have to endure
from anyone again! My thanks to EPYX
software for this review*

QJ What Special Interest Groups (SIG) are
active?
■ »
jAut For infprination on the following groups
call? Assembler SIG-Todd Meitzner (313)
542-1752J Education SIG-Mark Davids (313)
774-9709; Telecommunications SIG-Robin
Ward (313) 525-7360J Forth SIG-Tom
Chrapkiewicz (313) 772-8291 ♦ CNOTEJ Any
other SIG chairpersons should contact Tom
Sturza (313) 477-2345 to be included in future
SIG lists.]
at People that buy tape cassette programs
through MACE, and then purchase a disk unit,
should be given credit when purchasing the
same programs on diskntte*
A ♦ It's true many cassette owners go on to
buy disk unitSf However^MAGE does not have
the resources to handle a trade-in system*
Also# checking each cassette to be sure it is in
proper working order would b# impossible to
do at the meetings* MACE unclassified ads
are available to those members who wish to
sell their no longer needed items«
JE^jrgm Mitchell Rohde
Q J Make instructions for each cassette/disk*
At MACE officers do not have the time
available to accomplish what you ask* This is
a continuing request from our members*
Perhaps you anfl/or other MACE members
would be willing to form a SIG to accomplish
this task* If you are interested, leave your
name and phone number in the MACE
Suggestion Box*
at Proofread tlie newsletter* Typos are
running rampant!
At There have been many problems in
getting the newsletter put together because
of changing editors* Your suggestion has been
passed along to the new editor*
From B* Mavnard
at You should show the next month's agenda
in the MACE magazine and/or on the wall at
meetings* Review the agenda at the start of
each meeting^ with the approx* starting time
of each item* Start on time*
At As you may have noticed at the last
meeting, that night's agenda was posted by
the side entrance of the pavillion* The
proposed agenda for the last few months was
printed in the MACE Journal* At least a week
before meetings, the agenda is listed on local
BBS's and some local area newspapers* I will
continue this policy as long as the proposed
agenda is available to me in time for printing*
As stated before^ the tables open at 7*00 and
the meeting begins at 7*30*
From Harold McCullouqh
Q* I am interested in basic for beginners*
At Starting with this month's meeting^
MACE will try to include the topic of Basic for
Beginners in the meeting agenda* Many of our
advertisers offer various Basic classes (for a
fee) which may offer the information you
desire* As of this writing the following
stores offer Atari classes* Basic Bits 'n'
Bytes; The Computer Cellar} Micro Chip}
Micro Station} and Rite Way Enterprises*
Q ♦ Why not pay the officers?
At Good question* Many people do not
realize how much work is involved in some of
the offices* Perhaps if officers were paid for
their jobst more pTCple would be interested in
helping MACE* What do you think?
From Ruth Gorishek
at How about a software swap night? Have
people bring in things they no longer want*
At Sounds like an interesting idea* This
would have to be done in such a way as to not
interfere with the meeting* Also, it MUST be
for original purchased merchandise, NOT
copies* MACE does not condone pirating of
any kind* If interested in organizing such a
swap* please leave your name and phone
number in the MACE Suggestion Box*
at 1 think that you should hold meetings
more often*
-Al J I'm glad you enjoy the meetings so much
you want more» Howevert the time and money
involved prohibits more than one a month*
Perhaps joining a SIG will help*
From Brian Kohn
GS* In addition to Pepsin why not buy Towne
Club to give marm variety at less cost?
At To keep things simple and less confusingt
we limit the sales to Pepsi (Mtuch we buy at a
discount) and coffee* Too many choices
sometimes create waste at the evenings end*
From Marda Slater
QS The new membership cards are very nicet
but could zipcodes be included on them for
ease with the newsletters?
A 5 We'll pass this suggestion on when the
next batch of cards is printed* Until thept
maybe MACE members can put their zipcode on
their own cards#
From J oe Member
€d* Get away from tiMr otieap stuff and have
some REAL give-a-ways like cars# computers*
400's are only $35*
A. 5 As a non-profit organization we rely on
our advertisers to donate door prizes for the
May» Sept*» and Dee* meetings* If the budget
ever shows a great surplus well consider this
idea*
cojyciisic^
ATTFtACTTOlStS
FEBRUARY 21st:

THIS TIME, WE'RE GONNA
DO IT RIGHT!
By Craig Chamberlain
ANNOUNCING^*
A POKEY PLAYER SEMINAR
TUESDAY, JANUARY 3 1ST
SOUTHFIELD PARKS AND REC
7:00 pm OPEN
7J30 PRESENTATION BEGINS
Last Fall I held a seminar just for Pokey
Player, the music playing program available in
the M«A*C*E* library* Unfortunately,
attendance was poor and my presentation was
not as smooth as it could have been* Learning
from past mistakes, I'm going to try again, but
this time I'm going to do it right* If you have
tried to use Pokey Player but have had
trouble, here is what we have for you*
FASTER LOADING PLAYER WITH FOUR
COLUMN TITLES
EDITOR WITH MEASURE SEARCHING
MUSIC COMPILER WRITTEN IN MACHINE
CODE - IT'S FAST!
PAGES AND PAGES OF DOCUMENTATION
- BETTER THAN SOFTSIDE!
The Final Version disk will be available at
the seminar as a M*A*C*E* library proprietary
disk* Pokey Player is now also available on
CASSETTE! (Cassette users, please bring a 60
minute tape to the seminar)*
So, if you would like to learn how to use the
Pokey Player music system, mark your
calendar for exactly two weeks after the
January M*A*C*E* meeting* (Presentation
starts promptly at 7**30, will be finished by
10*00 pm* Tape recorders welcome*)
DO YOU HAVE FAST FINGERS?
Just imagine - you are sitting in front of
your ATARI, you pop in the ATARI BASIC
cartridge and turn the computer on, it makes
the usual weird sounds, and it says "READY"*
But then it says "OR NOT, HERE I COME!",
which produces a BASIC error* It follows this
with more commands to BASIC which are
immediately executed* It even starts messing
around with your cassette or disk drive,
LOADing and RUNning files* And all the
while, every time you see each character
mysteriously appear on the screen, you hear
the associated keyboard click* It's as if a
ghost was pounding away at your keyboard*
Has it finally happened? Has your
computer gone absolutely mad? The day you
always feared, when your computer would take
over and replace YOU, has it arrived? No*
Relax* You're just the innocent victim of the
ultimate autoboot program, called FAST
FINGERS*
You may already have a program that
makes BASIC automatically do a RUN"D:MENU
or similar command at boot time* FAST
FINGERS does this also, but with the
following advantages*
* NOT CONFINED TO BASIC - EVEN WORKS
IN MEMO PAD MODE!
* WORKS FOR CASSETTE OR DISK
* CAN BE USED WITH 850 AUTOBOOT FILE
* SEVERAL COMMANDS CAN BE EXECUTED
* YOU CAN SEE THE COMMANDS AS THEY
ARE TYPED
* YOU CAN EVEN HEAR THE KEYS TYPING
FAST FINGERS will be published soon in
Antic Magazine, but you can get it now in the
M*A*C*E* library*
FAST IrlMOERS
by Craig Chamberlain
A clever new idea in autobooting programs for
both disk and cassette* Turning on your
computer was never so much fun!

THE COMPUTER
PLATO'S CORNER
I have to believe that January will bring a
number of new faces to the MACE meeting*
Christmas seems to be the time when more
computers are purchased than at any other
time of the year^ so maybe this would be a
good time to re-introduce ourselves and talk a
little bit about some of our goals*
Plato's Corner is dedicated to the
investigation of computer applications in
education* The intended spectrum will
hopefully include personal development
programs^ music, computer languages,
computer art, science, speech synthesis, and
learning aids for the children* The basic
premise for all of our discussions is that the
original justification for buying our computers
was for a learning experience for both our
children and ourselves*
The deluge of media hype recently seems to be
geared at giving parents a guilt-trip if they
somehow don't include their children in the
computer revolution* If you look closely
however the computer revolution bears more
of a resemblance to an impromptu fire-drill*
Computer manufacturers seem to be running
around aimlessly in an uncoordinated attempt
to capture their share of the market* The
previously uninvolved parents, intimidated
and unable to cope will the idea of having
their children destined to become computer
mental-midgets, rush to the stores to
purchase a ****yes, home computer* The parents
can now rest at last, reassured that their
children's futures are somewhat secure*
The imagined scenario of computer utopia can
prove to be quite elusive without proper
preparation* Hopefully this column with a
considerable amount of help and participation
from the membership will provide guidelines
for the successful utilization of our computers*
One of the more practical aspects of this
column should be the on-going review of
current educational software* This month I
have two reviews to share with you* The first
is a program entitled TYPE ATTACK by Sirius .
Software*
In order to successfully utilize many of the
features of a computer it is helpful to become
to a certain degree adept at typing* A good
analogy might be typing skills are to computer
literacy as writing is to conventional literacy*
The more proficient a person becomes at the
former the easier the entire process becomes*
There are at present a number of typing tutor
and typing aid programs available for the
computer user* Type Attack is a typing
practice program in the form of an arcade
game* The scenario is as follows* your planet
is being invaded by the dreaded alphabet
creatures and the only effective defense is
the speedy retaliation of your missile powered
keyboard* The alphabet creatures descend in
space invader fashion and your keyboard input
sends out the deadly missiles to destroy the
corresponding creatures*
What is attractive about the program, other
than being lots of fun, is that the user
controls the speed of the attackers, and is
able to select from one of 40 pre-programmed
lessons or up to 60 lessons created by the
user*
After the character attack is successfully
repelled a new wave of words and phrases fly
horizontally across the screen* Again the user
must turn back the waves of aliens by typing
in the appropriate counter-attack*
The screen provides information as to number
of mistakes (energy usage) and the number of
words per minute being typed* The most adept
users may even record their scores in the Hall
of Fame*
It should be understood that Type Attack is
not a typing tutor* The documentation does
include however the basics of finger
positioning and which lessons emphasize the
letters you may need practice at*
The graphics and associated sound are very
well done and provide the user with a lively
typing practice session* The advantages of
such a program should be obvious* Increased
familiarity with the keyboard will certainly be
an asset to any computer user young or old*
Our second program is one called 3 R MATH
HOME SYSTEM by Dan Rohr and available
through the Atari Program Exchange*
3 R Math offers drills on 101 user selected
skill levels of addition* subtraction*
multiplication* and division* The structure of
the quiz is also con tolled in terms of time and
number of problems*
The student proceeds through a series of
problems in the chosen skill level all the while
being monitored by the computer as to
response time* correctness and total duration
of time spent* After a student has finished
their series of problems the computer will
print a summary on the screen indicating the
percentage of correct and incorrect answers*
number of problems completed* and an overall
score that may be used as a comparative
measure for future sessions*
If a printer is attached to the system an even
more detailed report can be provided* Each
problem is printed out in the order given to
the student with it corresponding correct
answer* Below each problem is the response
time in seconds for that problem and an
indication if the problem was answered
correctly on the first* second* or third
attempt* Response times are also given if the
second or third attempts were necessary*
Percentages of correct and incorrect answers
are given along with code used to generate the
quiz and ten additional problems are printed
out at the bottom of the screen for follow-up
practice* Entire printed work sheets and
answer sheets can be generated should you
prefer a printed format*
This is an extensive and well written program
that provides lively and competitive drills for
students and supplies an impressive amount of
feedback on the students responses and
progress*
For this month's homework assignment I must
ask for volunteers* More and more educational
software is finding it's way into the market*
and no one has any complaints about that*
There is a need though for reviews of this
software so users may make intelligent
decisions as which programs fit their specific
needs* The format of the reviews can be
entirely your own* Please if you presently own
or are considering buying software that fits
into the categories that we like to discuss
here in Plato's Corner send us a review* Your
input could prove to be invaluable to the 1500
other MACE members considering software
purchases*
I've included a few suggestions below that
would be welcome reviews*
Atari LOGO* Atari Inc*(A monthly column on
LOGO would be super*)
Disney Educational Series* Atari Inc*
M*E*C*C* Educational Program Series* M*E*C*C*
Music Construction Set* Electronic Arts Inc*
Koala Pad and associated software*
Hayden Learning games* Hayden Software
Spinnaker Educational Programs* Spinnaker*
Dorsett Educational Series* Dorsett
Educational Systems
Report on education information and resources
available through The Source and Compu-Serve*
To share your knowledge and experience with
others is a noble gesture* Remember MACE
will only be as successful as our members'
participation*
As always I look forward to hearing from you*

By John Yates
Age 14
Hi I am John Yates* When I heard there was
going to be a column for kids I thought I would
like to write something for it* I wasn't sure I
could do this, but it seems that I have* I
didn't know what to write about, but I decided
to write about M*A*C*E*and how it helped me* I
have been a MACE member for about six
months*
I joined because my dad wanted me to, and I
thought "boring!!!*" My family had gotten an
Atari 800 and recorder for Christmas and no
one knew how to use it well* Our first tapes
were Caverns of Mars,Preppy,etc etc*
In the begining all I was interested in were
these games* Then I found out I could do
things that my older brothers, sisters and
parents couldn't do* I started writing my own
programs like for/next loops* It got to be
even fun doing graphics and animation* Now I
am helping my mom and dad with financial
wizard* The thing I want next is a modem* I
think this would open up all kinds of new and
interesting things both educational and fun*
Maybe next time in "Kids Corner" someone
would like to tell us about their experiences
with the modem* Then perhaps my parents will
buy me one*THANK YOU
