EDITOR'S OUTPUT
Looks like a good issue.
Ten pages this time around, full of the right stuff. I’ve
been fooling arcund with a sodem and berainal program.
Finally figured cut how to download and save information te
disk. Tf still
amazes me that something so easy can seam so
difficult when one is just beginning. the Visicalc and APY
articles are the offspring of information downloaded from 4
special Atari BBS. I’m planning to get ayself hooked up to
CompuServe as soon as possible. If any readers have had
bad/good experiences with this service, please write to ae
about it.
I’ve developed a new column this issue:
you feel about rumors? TID-BITS will feat
pragnastications concerning Atari and the
of what you'll read there has a fairly su
ruth, although some “tlashes" may just b
. Personaliy, I like rumors. Just as !

]
ige for me
gon in the club’s Libr
ary.
As I announced at the last club meeting, the club’s BBS
is up and running-well that’s not exactly right. I have
found that the BES doesn’t like anvone accessing the disk
directories. Hooetully, with a little helo, I will have
this oroblem fixed by cur next general meting if not
before. If you want to find out if the BBS is working
before then, call the BBS number after 9:00 p.m. If you get
the normal information massa e, the | BBS is not worki ing vat
for I went to bed early and forgot to turn it Sale At any
rate, bear with me, and I°1] get it saeyiing soon as |
can. In the mean time | have been collecting learns from
CompuServe and the other BES*s around the country, so when
i do get the BBS back on-line, there will be qui te a few
new programs (1 hope),
For those af you that are in the market for a 850
interface, I have some good news and some bad news. ee
the bad news there is a three month waiting list ¢
theses, due in cart to ATARI’s aove te the Ukraine, “NON the
good news: if you buy either the ATR “€000 or MICRD-MAIN
FRANE vou don’t nead the interface plus you will be able to
run CP/M (0h Joy}. If you want to find out mere about these
units, talk te Nestor Sanchez (273-3005) about the ATR
8000, and our present Prez about the MICRO- MAIN FRAME.
For those of you interested in joining CompuServe, thay
just started a thirty-five dollar yearly member ship "fee, in

Happy May Atari fans!

bought out Video 2000 and has a few Atari hardware and
software items. Computer Contol Central in Pacific Beach
is selling boxes of Elephant disks for $18.99. Online
Computing in La Mesa is closing out the Atari line and may
have some items left at discounted prices. Dimensicnal
Software has been advertising a sale on recreational Atari
software and may still have a sale when this reaches you.
Toys-R-Us is now selling the Atari 400 with a rebate that
nets the unit an amazing $78.89, Our local newspapers
(Union & Tribune) have a classified section listing for
computers which has very up to date information on who is
having sales: I’ve found some excellent bargains this way.
If you want to know what’s happening and where, the
newspaper is still the best way to find out,
As a quide to this month’s reprint of the updated
discount list; neither SDACE or ayself endorses any store -
listed. We give you this information so you can hopefully
have a wider choice of places to shop and can find the best
deal for you. Many of the department stores have sales
with very low prices, but none of these I’ve been to have
intormed sales people, Smaller stores generally have more
information and competitive prices. Stores which give
special discounts to you as a member are shown “W/CARD" in
the list. {! have tried to designate what kind of
merchandise 15 carried in each store in the "HARD-SOFT"
coluan. If you know of any stores or qood deals I’ve
aissed, please let se know at the meeting. Till then,
enjoy soring and good computing.

AtariWriter (Rev. 7}
A Software Review by Don Perkins
After using Letter Pertect tor a year and a hal#, you
don’t realize what a ees it was to use AtariWriter.
Instead of an article- styl e review, I will give you my
likes and dislikes in a list format.

BOOK REVIEW
Mapping the Atari
by lan Chadwick |
Introduction by Bill Wilkinson
Publisher: COMPUTE! Books
Price: $14.95
I’m a glutton for Atari books. | buy a lot of them—heck,
| buy them all—in a seemingly unending search for that
magnificent tome which can explain it all to me. Out there
somewhere, | am convinced, are the magical words that
will dance my fingers across the keyboard and stand my
computer on its ear. I’ve sliced the pages from Byte
magazine; I’ve pretended to read the Operating System
listing; I’ve been fooled time and again by maledictive
typos, misanthropic publishers and silken tongued
miscreants. But | remain true to my quest, and at times |
get close.
One of the things I would really like to glue my eyeballs
to is a good cross-referenced index to the specific features
of Atari computers. Also, the perfect companion piece
would be a compilation of detailed explanations for every
memory location giving its OS mnemonic, its primary
functions, possible applications and, again, cross-
referencing to other related memory locations.
Last month’s release from COMPUTE! Books written by
lan Chadwick and called Mapping the Atari comes quite
close to the above-mentioned ideal. Over 200 pages are
efficiently organized within a spiral binding which allows
it to lie flat and stay flat. (All the Atari books from
COMPUTE! come bound that way, much to their credit;
wouldn't it be nice if all computer books would just
behave?) Inside there are two different indexes included.
The first lists the OS mnemonic labels alphabetically—a
time saver when trying to figure out all those nifty
program listings in various magazines, etc. The other
index is arranged according to subject; and—get this—
it’s a full eight double-columned pages of extensive cross-
referencing. Most of your college text books aren’t nearly
that thorough.
The actual descriptions themselves are definitive. Many
are one or two fact filled pages long; and they don’t stop
there—many contain bibliographical references to
several other books and past magazine articles which one
can peruse to any depth desired. By themselves most
descriptions are quite understandable and so thorough
that there remains little need to search these other
resources. Sometimes for the tougher concepts a short
BASIC program is used to illustrate an important feature
where an immediate hands-on tutorial can allow you to
own that idea once and for all. There are also internal
references to other memory locations when they are
related, and you are encouraged to read _ those
descriptions as well. Thumbing from location to location
moves rapidly since the top of each leaf boldly displays the
memory addresses for that page. Further down the sheet
-each location description is prefaced with its address
expressed in in both decimal and hex notation and
followed by its OS mnemonic label.
The introduction by Bill Wilkinson of Optimized
System Software, creators of both Atari 8K BASIC and
BASIC A-plus, gives an entertaining and enlightening
glimpse into the way to PEEK and POKE in seven different
programming languages: BASIC, BASIC A-plus, Forth, C,
Pascal, PILOT and Assembler/Machine language.
Wilkinson concludes, “I expect to use this book often.”
Well, in the month I’ve had it | have already used this
book often. | expect that | will continue to save a great
deal of time doing so, thanks to its well planned format
and execution. However, I’m not sure if an absolute
beginner could get as much out of this book right away; it
just doesn’t quite get down on its knees to explain things.
In fact, one of the few typos in the book was in the
beginners’ introductory notes which tried to give a
cursory explanation of hexadecimal numbers. It equated
255 (decimal) to $F (hex) which, of course, we all
recognize as an error; but just pity the poor neophyte
who tries to make sense out of that.
On the other hand, assuming your skills have
developed to just beyond the beginning level, then |
unequivocally recommend this book. | hate to say
goodbye to old friends, but Educational Software’s Master
Memory Map, with its frustrating typographical errors,
and Atari’s own cryptic Technical Users Notes might well
become seldom used superfluous curiosities on my
bookshelf.
