EDITORIAL
EDITING OR CENSORING?
I've been asked to bite my literary tongue. I had intended to publish a rather
biting and pointed editorial aimed at editors of newsletter who "edit" or change
writers articles to suit their tastes or particularly to promote products they
sell. Remember, editors, your job is to correct raispelled words not put words
in other writers articles. If you rewrite a piece the way you want it, then it
is YOUR article not the original authors', so don't put his name to it because
that's not what he wrote.
BYE SMUG BYTES
Sorry to see that the newsletter of SMUG is going to cease publishing. The
Milwaukee group has put a lot of good stuff out over the years and Bill Heberlein
deserves a lot of credit for his efforts. Bill, if you still want a place to
print your views or info, Sine-Link will be happy to supply a platform for free.
YO! AMERICAN READERS
When you mail stuff to George, please, please fill in the customs declaration
listing your package as a gift and/or with "no commercial value". Otherwise
George must pay our GOODS & SERVICES TAX on whatever value you assign if he is
to retrieve it from customs. Recently he had to pay over $5.00 GST to get a box
of disks that had been mailed to him.
NESQLUG VISIT
Saturday, June 27th, turned out to be a perfect day for a barbegue as four
members of NESQLUG visited with TTSUC members at Hugh Howie's house in
Burlington. Joyce Blaho, Al Boehm, his wife Dorothy and their friend Gary all
made their way from the Boston area for an informative afternoon meal and bull
session. Particularly interesting was Al's CST Thor QL clone with its built-in
drives and memory and his graphic demonstration of a program called "Molecules"
not to mention a game or two of his own design.
Thanks to Hugh and his wife for the hospitality. See photos next page.
That's all for now. . .

An occasional series for the occasional programmer.
Copyright Q Alan Pywell 1991.
PART TWO.
In part one I covered the basics of writing a procedure and passing para-
meters to it. I will have a little more to say on the subject shortly but first
a few observations (or warnings - call them what you like)
From my experience of programs it seems it is all too easy to fall into the
trap of "over-procedurising". By this I mean writing a procedure for every
little bit of your program. This is worse than writing no procedures at all.
A couple of examples from a program in our library will illustrate my point.
DEFine PROCedure KEY:V$= I NKEY$(- 1 ):END DEFine
I fail to see what this achieves. The program still needs to check that a
valid key has been pressed, -erhaps there's a procedure to do this
I daren't look.
If you're going to write a procedure put something in it!. Another line
reads:-
DEFine PROCedure paused: FOR j=1 to 500: NEXT j: END DEFine
This really is ridiculous - what's wrong with PAUSE X? The author has re-
invented the wheel, a common failing. PAUSE is a good keyword, to be used
in the main body of the program - it is a waste of time and effort to write a
procedure to give a delay.
The program is so full of unnecessary one-line procedures that is had to be
compiled in order to run about as fast it would have done uncompiled if it
had been written properly in the first place. (I shall cover writing for speed
at a later date)
All I'm saying is "Think a little about what you're typing". You should of
course break up your program into the jobs it has to do and then write a
procedure to do them but this doesn't mean a procedure for every line.
It is wasting effort to write a procedure for a tiny job or a job that will
only be done once or twice. There are no hard-and-fast rules about this,
use your judgement. As a rough rule-of-thumb a procedure should do more
than one thing, like the procedure for getting user's input and checking it,
or save a lot of typing.
The other observation I want to make is that this series has had little
forward planning and is not meant to be a definitive guide to SuperBasic.
I am hoping for feedback from readers before I do any planning........
I wrote most of this whilst waiting for members to write expressing interest
after my recent letter in QUANTA. I am adding this paragraph after the
eagerly awaited response came flooding in from fellow-members. I have
replied to them both to say that I will not be writing any more

PASSING PARAMETERS (again)
Page 2
You may have noticed in the May issue that when I called the procedure
that the parameters sent to the proc (they were called min and max) were
not enclosed in brackets yet the recipient (the actual procedure) had
brackets around them:-
GETKEY 1,4 blah blah blah
DEFine PROCedure GETKEY (min, max)
I suggest you get some cardboard and write someone a stiff letter about
this.
It's not so bad really - you'll get used to it.
Here's a bit of a program for printing some text on the screen:-
PAPER 6: INK 0: AT 10,10:PRINT "This is a message"
PAPER 1: INK 6: AT 12,10:PRINT "So is this"
Every time you want the program to print something you have to type
something like the above. If you decide to alter one of them later you've
more typing.
It is more convenient to call a general-purpose proc and to give it the
information it needs (pass it some parameters)
1000 WRITE1, 6,7,10, "Have you seen my Batman outfit darling9"
1005 WRITE 2,0,8,4, "It's in the wash - wear your pajamas"
1010 some more prog as usual
and here is the procedure
10000 DEFine PROCedure WRITE (INK_COLOR, PAPER_COLOR, ROW_N UMBER,
COL UMN_N UMBER, MESSAGES)
20005 INK INK_COLOR: PAPER PAPERjCOLOR: AT ROW_N UMBER,
COL U M N_N UMBER: PRINT MESSAGES
2C0*0 END DEFine
As you can see the passed parameters tell the procedure the ink and paper
colors to use, where to print the message and the last but not least, what to
print. Any place in your program that you want to print something just use
a line: WRITE, followed by ink and paper colors, where at and your text.
It's easier to alter it later if you should wish to, say, change the ink color.
You could also pass a channel number and a FLASH number but I'm not
about to do everything for you!
I'm sorry but I can't put it off any longer. "I'm throwing some new words
at you and they're extremely erotic, sorry exotic.
GLOBAL LOCAL SCOPE
Normally you can alter the value of a variable anywhere in a program. Yes,
I know you know, give us a chance. Take the previously-used variables
min, max. Please take them, I'm fed up to the teeth with them.

They are not terribly sacrosanct in that it would not matter if a part of the
program that is not part of a procedure used them. They could be used in
any part of a program. You may want to pad out a string if it's length is
less than min, for instance, by adding spaces or whatever until its length
equalled max. Or a thousand and one uses. Whatever you do with min and
max, a call to GETKEY will set them to the desired values for that particular
call to the proc. Their SCOPE is said to be GLOBAL. Don't ask me why
"they" chose the word "global" which of course means "world-wide". Our
field of view is somewhat narrower - GLOBAL simply means "use it anywhere
in the prog.". "But that's obvious" you say. Watch it, clever-clogs, I'll be
asking questions later
I suppose you already know that the variables are stored in a special area
of RAM which someone, in their infinite wisdom, called the variable area.
(Area for the variables, get it? No?, well it's an area.. )
Suppose that, for your own foul purpose, you had the power to say "look
here, you, this variable is to be used only in procedure X." Have i got
news for you! You can. You simply tell QL that "this variable's SCOPE is
LOCAL to procedure X". Just another little rule - you must tell QL inside
the procedure, hardly worth mentioning, really.
DEFine PROCedure GETKEY (min, max)
LOCal min, max
REPEAT LOOP V$=INKEY$(-1) etc,etc
There's just one thing wrong with the above - it won't work! You cannot
declare as LOCAL parameters passed to the procedure. Think about it -
they're not really local are they? But you can use any other variables
inside a proc and ensure that they are confined to the proc.
The QL User Guide says "Defining variables to be LOCAL allows variable
names to be used within functions and procedures without corrupting
meaningful variables of the same name outside the function or procedure."
So now you know. Up comes a chorus of "Can you have two variables with
the same name then, and what's a function?"
First things first - yes you can, as long as one of them is LOCAL to a
function or procedure. The LOCAL one exists only within its procedure or
any procedure called by that procedure. It is lost when the procedure
ends.
A function is., you don't really want to know, do you? There's one on next
week at my local Town Hall. I'll have to leave the other kind for another
day.
You ./ill have noticed that sometimes I have omitted line numbers. If you
wrote a SuperBasic program with no line numbers you would almost have
written a program in Archive. SuperBasic is a good language but there are
many much better and they don't have line numbers at all. I'll have more to
say about Archive and the line numbers at a later date. In the meantime,
don't be frightened of Archive.

ZX81 RESOURCES - Moving RAMTOP
Rene Bruneau 21 June 1992
Noraally, to lower RAMTOP, you have to poke values into
addresses 15388 and 16389 then NEW the coaputer to change
RAMTOP. If you have loaded a prograa that required PAMTOP to
be lowered before starting, you end up reloading the prograi
because NEW also wipes the wenory clean. What is needed is a
prograi that dynamically shifts RAMTOP without affecting the
aeaory after a program is loaded. I located this routine in
an old issue of COMPUTE! and fiodified it to use the saie
intonation transfer that was presented in the last
newsletter. The aachine code is relocatable.
Enter Listing 1, RUN 100 to input the ic data in Listing 2.
On completion, enter S, and confira that the checksua is
3099. You say now delete line 100 to the prograa end. Save
the prograa several tines. On running, the prograa asks you
for the address where the code will be located. Entering a
nuaber will relocate the ac.
To love RAMTOP up or down froa the original setting key in
RAND (New RAMTOP), ENTER
PRINT=USR lac location), ENTER
To confirm that the routine works type the following line
PRINT PEEK 16388 + 256 X PEEK 16389
The nuaber printed should aatch the RAMTOP that you set with
RAND. If you wish to enter the routine in a second REM
stateaent after an existing REM then disregard lines 10 to
80, and renumber the rest so that you don't inadvertently
over-write existing basic lines. You will also have to
establish where the first byte of the routine will be
and revise line 100 to suit.

ZX-81 - SOUND ANALYSIS
This machine code program for the
ZX81 draws graphics illustrating
sound. Sound is fed in on the Ear
socket. To load the program, create a
REM line H5 characters long. Use any
Hex loader to enter the code. The
program is executed by RAND USR 16526.
If you want the computer to draw one
graphic and then return to Basic
type:
POKE 16551,192 (Enter)
POKE 16552,0 "
POKE 16553,0 "
Otherwise the computer will clear
the display and draw again. The
program returns to Basic when any key
is pressed. The sub-routine at H082h
( 1 651 U ) gives, in C register, the
frequency of the tone on the Ear
socket .

Dear George,
I have been involved in some very interesting things over
the last several months which might catch the eye of some of
your readers. Many of us in the Timex/S inclair world have had
to leave our beloved machines for, of all things IBM clones!! I
happen to be one of those who was pushed into this mode a few
years back. I now own a 386DX clone, with 70 meg hard drive,
SVGA monitor, HD 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 disk drives, 2400 baud
internal modem, and merit mouse. It's a pretty impressive
machine, especially since I put it together with several
scrapped PCB ' s . My cost for the system was very little.
You might ask, "What is he telling me this for?" Well,
enter a public domain program called JPP-B2! This a Spectrum
emulator written for anyone who has a 386 (or above) machine,
with a VGA monitor! The program was written by a gentleman
named Arnt Gulbrandsen in Norway. You should find a copy of the
program enclosed with this letter. Feel free to distribute it.
Basically the program causes the 386 to operate like a
Z80. Before you can fully utilize it, however, you must make a
copy of the Spectrum Rom, and get it over to the IBM. There are
several ways to do this. You could enter the Spectrum mode, and
write a simple BASIC program to copy (POKE) the rom code from 0
through 16384 into ram beginning at location 40000. A second
approach is to use an assembler and write a short machine code
routine, using the LDIR command, and copy it over. In fact,
some assemblers have the ability to copy code between locations
with simple resident commands, thus eliminating the necessity
for wr i t i ng any move routine.
My preference was to enter this direct command: SAVE
"SPECTR.C1" CODE 0,16384. This copies the rom to tape. (You
cannot use this method to copy the Timex rom, since the first
8K of rom is paged. You get 8K of EXROM followed by 8K of HOME
ROM). When the SAVE is complete, rewind the tape and enter this
command: LOAD " " CODE 40000,16384. This puts the copy of rom
into ram, beginning at 40000, extending through 56384.
The last step is to make a copy of rom to disk. Enter the
following Larken command: RANDOMIZE USER 100: SAVE "SPECTR.C1"
CODE 40000,16334. Now we can move full steam ahead. Next time
we will transfer the rom code from the Timex to the IBM. I'll
discuss this fully next article. Meantime, refer to NOV-DEC '91
and MAR-APR '92 issues of SINC LINK for a preview.

text87 plus4 version 2
bj Hugh H. Howie.
1 guess I was probably one of the first
to get plus4 which is the updated
version of text87, which is a vast
improvement on Quill.
Plus4 (version 1) as it originally arrived
crashed with great frequency especially
with the last line erased. There were
other problems also, but that was the
principal one. This caused me to lose a
lot of work which t had spent a lot of
time putting together. I was most
annoyed and got a letter off to Software
in short order with my complaints.
Now at this point I would like to make
something quite clear, when I review a
program or hardware, I will write of my
experiences, I will not hide or gloss over
any fault I find with the item under
review. I feel that if t find a fault I
should mention it, then others will know
what to expect should they purchase that
item. I will not at any time make glowing
comments just to please the purveyor or
producer of that item. Having made that
point, let's get on with the meat of
plus4.
After my letter to Software a reply was
not long in coming, with VERSION 2. This
is the version which should have been
sent out in the first instance. Not only
the crash problem was solved, but also a
lot of other little ones which made Ver 2
much slicker to work with. Some of the
menu commands had been altered
slightly, and also some additions had
been made for better control.
According to the short note which came
with version 2 the problem which caused
the crashing " also affected the
integrity of the text formatting data
stored in _T91 documents'* What this
means is that any documents produced
with version 1, are not able to be loaded
into version 2 other than as an ASCII
file; any documents so made lose all
layout setup etc as provided in the
original document.
Version 1 came with a good manual. It
states that the manual is "a learning aid
for the use of text 87 and is not
meant to be a specification for the use of
text87." Version 2, as I received it, did
not have an up-dated manual, just a one
page note that a few changes had been
made. I understand that Ver 2 as now
issued comes with the Ver 1 manual, plus
two extra pages. I have not seen the
extra pages as yet, but would like to.
One thing missing from the manual is an
Index, I made up my own index from
reading the manual and from the use of
all the menus in the program, so that I
can refer to this index and see where
what is going to lead me.
Another item missing from many manuals
are samples. Plus 4 has three, a "Sample
Mail_merge", "Sample Document", and a
"Sample Manual" All very useful and
informative.
Version 2 is touted as not requiring the
aid of a manual as there is plenty on-
screen help available, and that the menus
are sufficient. I find that the manual is
of inestimable value, even altho' it is for
version 1. There are many instances
where you must refer to the manual to
get any action; for example, try setting
the "layout" of a document with headers
and footers (now known as "text
Sections") without using the manual! It
is a complicated although very efficient
operation but the on-screen help is not
of much value in this particular instance.
OH! yes, the on-screen manual can be
printed out for better study, but it is
still not as complete as the original
version 1 manual. And the slip of paper
which comes with version 2 is not as
complete as it might be.
No doubt the later purchasers will be
given an up-dated manual. I intend
writing to see if one is available.
Selection of type and fount to use is
very much simplified. There are lots of
Founts supplied, and lots of Printer
Drivers to select from. There is no
reason you will not find a Driver and a
Fount to suit your taste.
When Loading a file, (and also when
saving a file) when you are asked for
the name of the file, by pressing one of
SINC-LINK
17
the Arrow keys, a display of the files on
the default data disk is displayed.
Selection from this list is by use of the
Arrrow keys, and then the file is loaded
automatically.
Many of us know the frustration of
having a stack of three or four disks
and only being able to save to #1 or #2.
Version 1 was one of those, but ver 2
will save to whatever you wish almost,
e.g. RAM8_. DEV, NET, WIN etc.
Speed of scrolling up or down is really
fast. It is possible to scroll one line at a
time, or by paragraph or by page.
Search or Search/Replace is equally fast
and efficient. Found before finger leaves
key.
There is an excellent Spelling Checker
available with two English dictionaries.
Also a French , a German
The ' Q t y p _d ic tio n ar y ' is easy to use, but
there is also a 'bigger'_dictionary which
should just about satisfy the needs of
the most fastidious and demanding
writer. Unfortunately this 'bigger' dict-
ionary takes up a horrendous amount of
memory, and is intended only for those
with the Gold Card or Mega ST's.
However, the regular dictionary is
adequate. Replacement or amendment of
any given word is at the users
discretion or automatically on demand.
Sorry, it will not correct typing errors
on its own! Should your document
contain words which are not in the
dictionary then it is a simple operation
to incorporate them in the regular
dictionary, or even to make up a
"specialised" dictionary of your own.
Any spelling checker is only good to a
degree. Should you use the word
"their" instead of "there", or "wine"
instead of "whine", or if you type i
instead of I, no spelling checker is going
to get you out of that one! Still, it can
assist in pointing to real bloopers. Yes,
it can be handy, but I still prefer to
rely on my own knowledge such as it is.
When you wish to Print the document,
you are given an option to preview it
just as it will go to the printer. This is
an excellent feature as you can see on
screen exactly how it will appear on
paper. One serious flaw I came across is
that I cannot find a way to print a
couple of lines, it has to be the complete
page. With the original text87 you could
print three or four lines if so desired.
It is possible to have more than one
document in memory at the same time,
and to switch from one to the other, and
also to have a portion of each document
on-screen at the same time. You can have
parts of three or four documents on
display! Alright it can be a bit messy on
occasion, but it is still very handy if
you wish to work one document and have
the other there for reference.
text87 in its original form took a lot of
work to learn how to make the most of
it. The transition to plus 4 is not too
hard to accomplish. I would imagine that
plus 4 is probably much easier to learn
from scratch than text 87.
The manual takes 56 pages to tell you
how to do what, so how am I supposed
to do the same thing in a couple pages?
There is only one way to evaluate this
program, and that is to try it for
yourself. I am sure you will not be dis-
appointed
Plus 4 is an excellent word processor
and I would not like to be without it.
This is what the serious writer requires.
I can ask for nothing more than what we
have here, sure I have a couple of beefs
about it, but those are not really serious
beefs, and with more acquaintance with
the program, those should be eliminated.
I am sure glad I spent the money getting
plus4, I have spent some time mentioning
version 1 and version 2, that is only to
show you that Ver 2 is all that it should
be. I would not be without plus 4. I am
not an expert on word processors, but
this sure hits the spot with me. I can
hardly ask for more. Plus 4 is first
class. The way we all like to go.
Expensive- Yes . Extensive- Undoubtedly .
If you like to write get plus 4.

Dale Fritz, SEATUG
Most of us know that, the 2068 has
a second independent screen (known as
Display File 2-see pg 248 of the 2068
User Manual), but methods to easily
use this screen are not widely known.
My interest was in after drawing some
elaborate Hilbert Curves on the main
screen, I wanted to print a Menu to
give choices of Copy or continue in
various modes. The Menu would destroy
the main screen and there wasn't much
room in Lines 22, 23 for a Menu. How
could I use the second screen for my
Menu and then go back to the first
screen with my picture intact?
The 2068 Technical Manual,
Appendix C, has 16 pages of machine
code concerning the second screen,
where one can Clear Screen, Set
Cursor, Print Character, Scroll, etc.
My needs were much more modest.
Stan Lemke, of Desktop Publishing
fame, published a small program,
"Blink", in SyncWare News which
considerably simplifies use of the
second screen. There are three
routines :
A. Read a modest amount of data
from a Data statement and initiate the
second screen.
B. Build a Menu (or whatever) on
the main screen and transfer it to
screen 2.
C. Bring screen 2 back to screen 1
for editing and improvement. Use
routine B to return the improved
version to screen 2.
As one could guess, there are
some limitations. LIST, PRINT, PLOT,
DRAW, etc. will not work in Display
File 2. Even more disconcerting, you
can't get any messages from the
computer when using the second screen.
All the messages are being printed on
the main screen and you aren't there.
The answer, say, in case of a Menu,
is to provide safeguards around an
adequate INPUT response and get back
to the main screen.
OUT 255,0 brings in the main screen.

Here is a short demo which plots a

the Menu, GOTO 500. If you BREAK
while the Menu is on the screen, enter

1000 SUPPLEMENT
One can save and immediately
print back screens with the 1000. It
involves saving the screen in a
string, then simply printing the
string to restore the screen.
Consider the main screen as AS and
the second screen as BS . Using the
following routines and PRINT AS, PRINT
B$ , a very' comparable demo to that
above could be made.
8990 REM . .SAVE MAIN SCREEN . .

Postscript: Alternately, there is a
2068 WINDOWS Demo in the SEATUG
Library, which could be studied and
used for a Menu instead of the second
screen. However, if I had remembered
that sooner, we would not have had
these neat screen subroutines.
ZX81 - SEARCH AND REPLACE
Searce and Replace will search
the screen for a character you
specify and replace it with any
other. Load this machine code
routine into a REM staement in the
first I ine of a program. The I ine
should be no shorter than 23 bytes
long. Search and Replace runs in a
16K ZX 81 only.

I did order and have received " text87plus4 that is
updated version of text 87. I must say that the result of
all the efforts of the producers as well as Hugh's
contribution to the project, have ended up with a worthwhile
WORD PROCESSOR . Much easier to use and with prompts
available, it is a dream to load and to start producing some
outputs. I have already used the " mail merge " option to
write 5 letters ( all the same excepts for the addressees "
with a minimum of bother.
I certainly can recommend the new version of
text87plus4.

QL - Ramblings
Over the years a steady contributor to our " SINCLINK " newsletter
and cur QL library has been Mr. Swenson. I believe he now resides in
California,, Well, Eome o-f his programs are quite successful, e.q.
LISTER, QLcrypt II etc. . He even dabbled in writing a new language for
the QL, " small C I am afraid that was too much for me. However he
also gave us " MAILLIST " which by itself works quite well , with the
exception that the " ZIP " and " STATE* " did not fit our requirements.
So I reworked the file with the end results that we can now use it far
our Canadian mail ling standards. I did not bother changing " STATE* "
for " PROVINCE* " but I did enlarge the display on the"" screenl "so
that the full name of the province will be shown =»nd printed and nnt-
just the first " TWO LETTERS '« as in the american system. Also our
postal code is a. combination of diqits and letters therefore I Added
" * " to the " ZIP " field.
T will be giving a copy of the revised program to HUGH HOWIE to
include with our library.

One of the "must have" utilities
that any self-respecting software
"hacker" needs in his/her arsenal of
tools is a DATA line maker. Although
there are several available , especially
for the Spectrum ROM, my favorite one
appeared in the May 1988 Newsletter of
the Capital Area Timex Sinclair Users
Group by H.E. Weppler. I have
simplified it and moved the CODE to a
safe area below BASIC.
This program performs the opposite
of POKing CODE into RAM addresses from
a DATA line. It will create a user
specified DATA line containing CODE
extracted from a user-specified range
of addresses. For example, if you have
some machine code, font code, or' an
ASCII text file located somewhere in
memory, and would like to extract the
code and place it into DATA statements
to use in another program, this simple
program can be MERGEd or LOADED to do
the job. Enter the following BASIC
program and be sure to RUN line 9950
to initialize the short machine code.
The program will then automatically
RUN. You will be prompted for a line
number to assign the DATA statement.
Any line number will do if it is less
than 9900. Next INPUT the starting
address of the CODE you wish to
extract. Lastly you will be prompted
for the end address of the range of
bytes you want to extract. I recommend
that you don't extract more than 150
bytes at any one time. If you do,
editing that DATA line will be
difficult. If your CODE is more than
150 bytes long then keep track of the
line numbers and address ranges and
RUN line 9900 until you have all your
CODE placed into BASIC lines. 'The
machine code used in this program is
completely relocatable. To quickly see
how this program works, try this:
RUN line 9900. At the prompt,
enter 10 (ENTER.) . That means we want
to make a DATA statement at line 10.
The next prompt asks you to enter the
starting address of the CODE. Let's
extract the CODE from this program
which begins at address 24311, so
input that number. Next, INPUT the end
address of the range of addresses we
are extracting, ie. 24352 (ENTER).
Now you're done. Compare your
result with line 9965. If your CODE
is lengthy, break it down into several
DATA statements by re-RUNning line
9900 several times.
Have fun I
Happy TIMEXing. . .

REDUCE NUMBER OF DISKS IN USE WITH TK2
b/ Hugh H.
Before I get started let me remind all you
'gurus' out there this is not for you, it is
for the fellow who has not explored TK2
'cause he was put off by tiny type and
Hi-Fi hype.
The first thing I wrote back in January
on TK2 was something that made me look
further into TK2, and the last issue,
(March 92) expanded on that. I have no
intention of getting in too deep, so don't
expect too much.
So often we find that things in a
magazine or newsletter are far and away
beyond what we the innocent little starter
can comprehend. We read of "jobs" and
things like that; as far as they are
concerned I tried to forget that as soon
as my kids were able to look after
themselves. Butt, to get back to basics,
most of us are only too happy if we can
use some simple little things to show
others how smart we are. And how good
the QL is.
Now smartness is not always how we
dress, it could be how we ADDRESS a
problem.
Take the number of disks we have which
only have one little teeny weeny itsy
bitsy program on them and which are not
often used, but we still keep them "just
in case". How do we address the problem
of too many disks doing too little.
Many disks contain programs of only two
or three parts and one is always a 'boot',
and we can have only one boot on a disk.
So if we wish to put a lot of those
programs on the one disk, we have to do
it one at a time, and make a different
name for the boot in each case, which can
take a long time. Or, we can use the
WCOPY command from TK2 and transfer
those programs to an omnibus disk and
give them all a different PREFIX at the
same time, almost ensuring immunity from
duplicates occurring. Still retaining the
integrity of the original title.
Say we have a program called 'CHUCKLES'
which has three parts to it, and it is the
ONLY program on that disk, we would
place the working disk in flpl__, and the
target disk, (the one we are going to
copy to) in flp2_ and type in:-
WCOPY FLP1_/FLP2_CH_ <ENTER>
This would copy ALL the files on flpl_ to
flp2_ and give them the prefix of CH_ so
CHUCKLES would become CH_CHUCKLES.
So a DIR on the target disk (flp2j would
look like:_
CH_CHUCKLES
CH_BOOT
CH_CHUCKLES_BIN etc.,
In the above command I did not give a
title 'from', and take special note that I
did include an _ after the prefix 'CH'
Next step is to place small SPACE or
separator under this program, and we do
this by - watch the quotes - typing :-
SAVE "FLP2_ "
Note one space after the £Lp2_. The next
time we do this would require two spaces
after the flp2_. Of course you do not
have to use the SPACE you could use the
or ... or === or whatever.
Next we could send over LAUGHTER with
LA_ and GRINS as GR_GRINS. Get the idea?
Now if you wanted to remove the prefix,
you could use RENAME, e.g.
RENAME FLP2_GR_GRINS,FLP2_GRINS
and GR_GRINS is now plain old GRINS
again.
If you wished to change the name on the
GRINS 'suite', you could use:-
WREN FLP2_GR_,FLP2_
You should use a DIR or WSTAT after each
operation to see what is happening.
There are many ways those two commands
can be used, try a few experiments on
your own. Just watch your commas and '_'
and quotes. All are VERY important.
If you want more of thus, or if I have
made an error, please write and tell me.

Q L I P S
I often think we should have more key-in
materia] in our Newsletter, but I do not
like to use programs which have very
long listings as we (I at least) sometimes
get tired when typing those long listings.
So if anyone has a little gem which could
be of interest, send it in. This way we
make the Newsletter more interesting for
all, and at the same time we can enlarge
our QL Library.
Come to think of it, some folks may like to
have long listings to type in, so if that is
the case, let us know and I will dig out
some long ones especially for you.
I must admit that shortly I will run short
of short listings to use, however here is a
shorty which is very colorful in color, but
still interesting in Monochrome. Try it in
both mode 4 and mode 8.
This will put on screen a host of elipses
in a host of different colors and a host of
different sizes. (I had onions for lunch
therefore I tend to repeat myself today)
Must be getting near to spring, my father
(93 last December) is starting to work in
the potting shed getting ready for when
the snow goes away, not that we have had
much this year. Yet. Here is something
to brighten your day.
This comes from DEM0_1 disc in the QL
Library.

Disk Copy Problem
Help Wanted .
(No - Not you Hama!)
One of my Disk setups is as follow s:-
5 1/4 80 track 1440 Sectors
3 !/2 80 track 1440 Sectors
5 1/4 40 track 720 sectors
I am using a TRUMP CARD and the little
plug -in card to give extra drives if
necessary, using the top port.
Problem:-
When I try to WCOPY from flpl_ to flp2_
the £Lp2_ invariably continues to run and
will not accept the copy. Sometimes it
even tells me "Bad or Changed Mediium"
When I WCOPY from £Lpl_ to Raml_, and
then from Raml_ to flp2_, The copy has
no problems.
WHY?

QL - IBM Compatibility CARD?
1991 - Miracle Systems produce the Gold
Card which gives the QL so much more
power and speed and versatility.
At the same time there are strong
rumours that Miracle are also working on
a Graphics Card.
1991 - Software announce PLUS4, that
wonderful Word Processor.
1992 - Latest whisper 1 hear is that
Miracle are also working on a card to
allow the QL to be compatible with IBM.
No details available at the moment.
Look Out little blue,
The QL is taking a Quantum Leap at you!
Long Live the QL
The QUEEN of all

Dear Out-Of-Town Members:
Well, what have we this month, I mentioned my eye operation in the
last letter, Everything is fine now,
I know what needs to be first in this letter, A reminder to members
living in the U,S, You must fill out and attach one of the green customs
forms when you send me material, or return club material, Jeff mentions it
in his newsletter briefly. Recently I have recieved a couple of packages,
and have had to pay GST (Goods & Services Tax, for the uninitiated!) on
their presumed value.
Two things: You should put a rather nominal value on the slip, I suggest
50 cents per tape/disk, AND you should tick off that it is a gift item.
One package was bulky and had 10 disks in it. There was no value
stated, so Customs valued it at $11, They then charged 80 cents GST and
added a $5 service charge. Another package had no indication it was a
gift, and no value stated. Customs assigned a value of $50 and billed me
$3.50 GST,
One of our club members, Ronald Cavin, has sent me a suite of disks
which essentially are designed to allow a Spectrum to be emulated on an
IBM! He has also written a series of articles for the newsletter, about
this. The first article is in this issue,
If anyone has a PC, and is interested in seeing these disks, drop me a
line. Come to think about it; I'll have to get someone else to make a
copy: I don't have a PC, I'll ask the first member who borrows them to
make up a back-up copy!! There are 3 disks, Ronald says you need a 386 or
better, to run this emulator.
You may notice that in the newsletter there is a 3-part listing of
newsletter contents. Sort of an index of contents, I've been asked how to
get copies of some of these articles, I had not thought about this before,
but I suppose we can supply members with photocopies of the pages these
articles appear on, for 5 cents a page, plus any postage if incurred in
mailing them, Be sure to mention article name, and what issue it is in.
Or you can order back issues of the whole newsletter if you want, for
the same 5 cents per page,
I had a letter from a non-member asking for some help with the Larken
Maxcom program. That's a BBS operating system for the 2068, There are two
versions, one for 300 baud operation and the other for 1200 baud. This
person sent me still another version which Larry K, had written, Designed
to work with two other programs called I0traj,B1 and 0trajs,B1, I have
done a bit of work on them, and have written back for more info, But have
any of you heard of IOtraj.BI & 0trajs,B1 programs? Or version of
Maxcom, B1 that starts at Line 8000, not Line 10? I'll write a
newsletter article about this matter, when it has been resolved,
Tim Swenson, who is a member of the Capitol Area Timex User Group and
who publishes a small journal/ news letter called "QL HACKER", has sent me
a copy of two recent issues of The Hacker, and also a QL disk that has
all nine issues of this journal on it. Anyone interested can either ask
me, or if you have QL you can drop a line to Hugh Howie.
I received a letter from a Don Lambert, Editor of ZXir Clive Alive and
a TTSUC member.
He writes, "I don't know if anyone will be driving or flying south from
the TTSUC to attend the Dayton ComputerFest the 29th and 30th of Aug, but
T/S will be there, Frank Davis and Paul Holmgren will have tables there,
Bob Swoger has gotten a table in my name for T/SNUG and CATUG. I hear tha^
Andy Hradesky or at least someone from Colorado will be there, Frank Davis
and I will have rooms at the RED ROOF Inn (North, I think it is) which is
nine miles from the Hara Arena where the Fest is held. That place is
big!"
Incidentally, it seems possible that two persons will be there from
TTSUC, That is to say, Jeff Taylor and Rene Bruneau are talking about it,
I have had two members send me games recently, In one case it was on
tapes, the other on disks. Needless to say, I am up to my eyeballs with
them, A couple of things about them, though, The disks had a menu program,
that I rather liked, I have been refining it considerably, and I shall
make an article for the newsletter giving the listing and describing the
features of it, Interested in games, anyone?
I have been further refining a program sent to me by member Joan Kealy ,
which contains a mass of information about Timex computers and the Timex
scene. The refinements make it suitable for the Larken system, and I shall
put it onto a disk in the Larken disk library. The programs are called
TIPSAM,B1 and TIPSNZ,B1,
Although the tape libraries have not grown, the Larken disk library is
up to disk #50, I'll try to get catalogue of the most recent 10 disks off
to known Larken owners, with this newsletter. Other members, ask if
interested ,
We have a new member who writes me that he is into the hobby of
rocketry, and uses the TS1000 and 2068 to assist in launchings, thrust
measurements, etc, He has offered to write articles on the topic, if we
were interested. I said we certianly were interested!!
I'm delighted to see that we have some ZX81 stuff for our ZX members,
Andre Baune has come up with another nice issue of ZX-91, which we have
included in our n/1, Thank you Andre, Andre is also a member of our club,
I am behind again in my communications with OOT's, But I shall try to
be up to date by the time you get this newsletter. If you are awaiting
something from me, drop a line.
I'll close this
Since re ly ,

off now,
