DESKTOP  PUBLISHim 


on  THE  ATARI   ST 


Now  thete's  a  real  alternative  BSOOO-based  desktop  publishing  system! 

Fleet  Street  Publisher  provides  all  the  features  you  would  expect  of  a  high-priced  system 
but  at  a  price  you  can  afford. 

The  program  runs  under  GEM,  so  it's  friendly  and  very  easy  to  use.  Working  on  a  what- 
you-see-is-what-you-get  principle,  designing  good  page  layouts  becomes  almost  intuitive, 
with  true-to-scale  fonts  and  images  displayed  on  the  screen.

Practical  Applications  Winners 


This  issue  features  the 
tour  winnei-s  of  An- 
tic's first  8-hit  Practi- 
cal Applica  tions  Con- 
test. We  received  close 
to  200  entries  during  the  six 
months  that  the  contest  was 
open.  And  at  least  half  of  the 
entries  arrived  during  the  final  two 
weeks  of  the  competition. 

It  was  extremely  heartening  to  see 
such  an  outpouring  of  programming 
talent  for  the  8-bit  Atari.  We  accepted 
over  30  of  the  program  entries  for 
publication,  most  of  them  from  that 
final  deadline  batch. 

Because  we  now  have  such  a  good 
backlog  of  8-bit  applications,  Antic 
will  begin  a  new  section  next  month 
— the  Featured  Practical  Program. 
Starting  in  December,  each  issue  will 
contain  at  least  one  type-in  practical 
application  for  the  8-bit — if  not  more. 

ABOUT  THE  WINNERS 

The  Grand  Prize  Winner  was  Criti- 
cal Path  Project  Manager  by  David 
Schwener,  which  uses  industry's  CPM 
and  Gantt  Chart  techniques  of  organ- 
izing workloads.  Aside  from  being 
very  useful  for  a  wide  range  of  per- 
sonal and  small-business  activities, 
this  software  is  written  in  an  impres- 
sively clean  and  well-organized  pro- 
gramming style. 

Schwener,  a  product  engineer  from 
Fayetteville,  North  Carolina,  is  mak- 
ing his  first  appearance  in  Antic.  His 
grand  prize  is  an  Atari  1040ST  com- 
puter (courtesy  of  MichTron  Software) 
and  $500  of  Batteries  Included  ST 
software  from  Electronic  Arts. 

The  runner-up  winners  have  all  had 
other  programs  previously  published 
here.  Their  prizes  are  one-year  disk 
subscriptions  to  Antic.  Each  of  these 
outstanding  runner-up  programs  does 
only  one  job.  But  that  job  is  handled 
very  effectively  and  is  useful  to  a  large 
number  of  people.  The  nmner-ups  are: 
•  WYSIWYG  Cassette  Jack- 
ets by  Chet  Walters.  Millions  of  music- 
lovers    make    personal    copies — or 


r 

.A.:.,     kl% 

compilations — of  their  favor- 
ite commercial  albums  and 
tapes.  Now  you  can  bring 
pleasing  order  to  the  chaos 
of  your  cassette  collection 
and  instantly  know  exactly 
what  music  you  have  placed 
on  each  cassette. 

•  Bibliography  Writer  by 
Alfred  Filskov.  All  students  in  high 
school  and  college  are  going  to  have 
to  turn  out  significant  amounts  of 
written  term  papers  during  their 
educational  careers.  Term  papers 
usually  require  bibliographies  of 
source  material.  But  now  your  Atiiri 
can  automate  the  maddeningly  pre- 
cise specialized  punctuation  your 
teachers  want  for  bibliographies. 

•  Your  Best  Route  by  Jeffrey 
Summers,  M.D.  Whether  you  are 
traveling  for  business  or  pleasure,  this 
software  effortlessly  figures  out  your 
least  expensive  route  between  multi- 
ple destinations. 

SORRY  FOR  THE  MIX-UP 

A  number  of  contestants  wrote  us  that 
they  were  disappointed  about  getting 
the  standard  Antic  rejection  letter  for 
their  entries,  without  any  specific 
written  mention  of  the  Practical  Ap- 
plications Contest.  But  we  actually 
did  more  for  entrants  this  time 
around.  In  previous  contests,  it  was 
specified  that  all  entries  became  the 
property  of  Antic  and  would  not  be 
returned  or  acknowledged. 

However,  we  certainly  apologize 
for  upsetting  anybody.  It  seems  that 
the  contest  rules  didn't  make  it  clear 
enough  that  because  all  entries  were 
being  considered  for  publication  in 
Antic — and  all  winners  would  get 
paid  our  regular  publication  rates 
along  with  their  prizes — we  were  pro- 
cessing the  contest  entries  ex;ictly  like 
reguhir  magazine  prc:)gram  submissions .

Super  Disk  Bonus 


Galleons: 

Arcade-quality  sea  battle 


This  month's  Super  Disk  Bonus, 
Galleotis,  is  ;i  flashy,  colorful  two- 
player  action  game  that  runs  on 
Atari  8-bit  computers  with  at  least 
32 K  memory  and  disk  drive.  You 
control  a  sailing  ship  with  your 
joystick  and  try  to  sink  the  enemy 
ship.  Meanwhile,  avoid  those 
razor-sharp  cofal  reefs — not  all 
visible — which  are  all  around  you. 
(ialleons  is  written  in  fast-moving 
assembly  language  using  the  OSS 
MAC/65  Macro  Assembler. 

SEA  OF  DOOM 

You  sailed  across  the  Atlantic 
Ocean,  through  weather  both 
good  and  bad.  The  journey  took 
months,  but  at  last  you  are  ap- 
proaching your  destination — the 
New  World.  On  board,  everyone 
is  relaxing,  when  suddenly  your 
lookout  shouts,  "Reef  ahead!"  In- 
stantly all  hands  assume  their 
posts,  and  within  seconds  your 
mighty  galleon  is  turned  away 
from  the  reef. 

Surveying  the  immediate  area, 
you  realize  you  have  now  entered 
the  coral  reefs  infesting  the  east- 
ern end  of  the  Caribbean  Sea.  But 
now  things  get  even  worse.  "Ship 
ahoy!"  the  lookout  cries.  Then 
you  see  the  dot  on  the  horizon. 
As  it  comes  closer,  a  chill  grips 
your  heart — it's  the  infamous  Red 
Scourge,  pirate  terror  of  the 
Caribbean. 

ABOUT  THE  PROGRAM 

Antic  editors  really  liked  this 
speedy,  professional-ciuality  game 
as  soon  as  we  first  saw  it.  Written 


entirely  in  MAC/65  assembly  lan- 
guage. Galleons  was  a  first  submis- 
sion to  the  magazine  from  Alan 
Capesius  of  Morton  Grove,  Il- 
linois. A  BASIC  loader  listing  of 
Galleons  would  be  necessary  to 
make  it  useable  for  the  majority 
of  our  readers,  but  this  would  have 
been  too  long  for  publication  as 
a  type-in. 

Instructions  for  Galleons  can  be 
accessed  from  the  Help  Menu  of 
this  month's  Antic  Disk.  Choose 
selection  5  on  the  Main  Menu.

I  see  that  the  August,  1987  issue  of 
Antic  had  a  letter  recommending  the  Ej)- 
son  FX-80  printer  driver  for  AtariWriter 
Plus  and  the  Star  NL-10.  I've  tried  Paper- 
Clip's  FX-80  with  my  NX-10,  and  it  works 
fairly  well  except  that  it  has  emphasized 
print  as  a  default.  Also,  the  PaperClip  sym- 
bol for  right-justification  of  a  line  makes 
the  printer  type  one  line  per  page.

Antic  has  had  reasonable  success  with 
the  Star  SG-10  driver  on  the  PaperClip 
disk,  hut  we  had  to  modify  the  file.  Here's

you've  chosen  not  to.  In  the  past,  I've

LIVES  FOR  HIS  XE 


Our  son,  Nichol:is,  age  9,  lives  for  his  Atiiri 
I30XE  and  has  been  programming  since 
he  was  four.  'When  he  was  in  kindergar- 
ten a  visiting  computer  teacher  said  Nick 
was  programming  at  a  sixth-grade  level, 
and  tests  he  took  at  Arizona  State  Univer- 
sity while  in  first  grade  placed  him  above 
the  99th  percentile  for  his  age.  Now  he 
creates  his  own  games  and  makes  great 
animations  and  graphics.  We're  very  proud 
of  what  he  can  do. 

We  probably  should  mention  that  Nick 
has  albinism  and  is  legally  blind.  Basically 
that  means  that  he's  light-sensitive  and 
needs  large  print  to  read  easily.  But  it's 
amazing  how  small  the  print  can  be  when 
it's  a  computer  program  that  he's  reading. 
I  know  he'd  be  happy  to  get  letters  from 
other  Atari  users.

TAPELESS  SPREADSHEETS 

If  you've  been  unable  to  get  usable  print- 
outs from  Tapek'ss  Spreadsheet  Printer 
(August,  1987),  it  may  be  that  your  dot- 
matrix  printer  cannot  download  special 
character  sets. 

Tapeless  works  by  downloading  a  spe- 
cial "sideways  "  character  set  into  your 
printer  If  you're  not  sure  whether  your 
printer  accepts  downloaded  characters, 
check  your  printer  manual  or  phone  the 


manufacturer. 

The  Tapeless  article  states  that  the  pro- 
gram supports  "four  major  printer 
families — Epson  FX-80,  Gemini  lOX,  Star 
SG-10  and  Okidata  92."  Printers  such  as 
these  have  their  own  RAM  for  holding  in- 
stalled or  downloaded  special  character 
sets  or  fonts.  After  installation,  the  printer 
will  use  this  special  character  set  as  long 
as  the  power  remains  on.  For  a  detailed 
explanation  of  this  process,  see  Font 
Maker  (Antic,  March  1985). 

If  your  printer  lets  you  use  download 
characters,  you  should  refer  to  your  printer 
manual  for  the  proper  loading  procedure. 
Next,  select  the  Tapeless  loading  driver 
(Listing  6,  7,  8  or  9)  which  most  closely 
matches  the  procedure  needed  for  your 
own  printer  and  make  the  necessary 
modifications.  Please  refer  to  the  Tapeless 
article  and  listings  for  additional  help.  If 
you're  unfamiliar  with  downloading 
characters  into  your  printer,  you  should 
also  read  the  Font  Maker  article  men- 
tioned above!

A  touch  ablet  emulates  the  precise 
finger  control  of  pen/pencil/brush 
drawing  much  more  accurately  than 
a  joystick  or  a  mouse.  And  it  keeps 
your  hand  in  a  more  comfortable  po- 
sition than  a  light  pen.  These  factors 
make  a  touch  tablet  the  best  tool  for 
drawing  computer  pictures. 

Unfortunately,  KoalaPads  for  Atari 
and  Atari's  own  touch  tablets  are  no 
longer  being  made.  For  about  two 
years,  anybody  wanting  to  find  a 
touch  tablet  for  an  8-bit  Atari  needed 
to  search  for  hard-to-find  remainder 
stockpiles. 

But  now  the  Animation  Station 
is  here  to  fill  this  graphics  gap.  Actu- 
ally' this  powerful,  versatile  touch  tab- 
let from  Suncom  has  been  available 
for  awhile,  but  the  company  never  got 
around  to  announcing  it  to  the  Atari

community. 

The  sturdy  Animation  Station  plugs 
into  joystick  port  1.  Its  work  surface 
is  about  the  same  size  as  the  one  on 
the  Atari  Touch  Tablet— about  50% 
larger  than  the  KoalaPad's.  And  it 
boasts  two  sets  of  DO  and  UNDO  but- 
tons, a  great  help  to  left-handed  ar- 
tists. The  stylus  stores  away  in  a  small 
hole  at  the  upper  right-hand  corner, 
but  it  falls  out  easily  and  is  not  at- 
tached to  the  tablet. 

A  vital  factor  in  the  usefulness  of 
any  touch  tablet  is  the  graphics  soft- 
ware that  comes  with  it — as  well  as 
the  other  software  it's  compatible 
with.  As  we  soon  discovered,  the  Ani- 
mation  Station's  DesignLab   paint 


program  is  actually  Blazing  Paddles 
which  earned  a  good  review  in  Antic, 
January  1987.  The  only  difference  we 
could  find  is  that  DesignLab  doesn't 
accept  input  from  a  joystick  or  light 
pen.  (However,  Antic's  copy  of  Blaz- 
ing Paddles  never  worked  with  a  light 
pen  either) 

Like  Blazing  Paddles,  DesignLab 
software  works  with  the  KoalaPad  but 
not  with  the  Atari  Touch  Tablet — up 
and  down  are  reversed.  However, 
KoalaPad's  Micro  Illustrator  software 
will  run  on  the  Animation  Station 
tablet. 

As  we  said  in  our  Blazing  Paddles 
review,  this  software  is  comparable  to

the  well-established  Micro  Illustrator. 
But  it  has  a  few  quirks,  which  may  or 
ma>'  not  be  important  to  you.  Blaz- 
ing Patldles/DesignLab  uses  only  one 
disk  drive,  you  must  go  to  a  separate 
screen  to  change  colors,  and  picture 
files  must  have  .PIC  extenders. 

DesignLab  loads  and  saves  pictures 
only  in  62-sector  Micro-Painter  for- 
mat. This  means  Micro  lUusti-itor  pic- 
tures must  be  converted  to  Micro- 
Painter  format  with  a  utility  such  as 
the  Rapid  Graphics  Converter 
(Antic,  November  1985).  Make  sure 
to  gi\'e  each  picture  file  that  .PIC  ex- 
tender. 

To  get  the  feel  of  the  program,  you 
might  want  to  "click"  on  SKETCH 
and  start  drawing  free-hand.  To 
change  your  four-color  palette,  click 
on  COLOR.  Select  hues  and  lu- 
minances for  your  background  and 
three  playfield  colors.  The  chosen 


colors,  combined  with  six  patterns, 
make  up  96  Mix  Patterns. 

Now  press  a  DO  button,  choose 
one  of  eight  brushes,  click  on 
SKETCH  and  draw  by  holding  down 
a  DO  button  while  moving  the  stylus 
on  the  tablet. 

Other  functions,  such  as  BOX, 
OVAL  and  LINB(S)  are  much  as  they'd 
be  in  other  drawing  programs.  The 
SPRAY  feature  operates  just  like 
SKETCH,  but  it  lets  you  "spray" 
several  pixels  of  color  onto  the  screen 
to  soften  the  hard  edges. 

DesignLab's  "shape  tables"  include 
buildings,  animals,  weapons  and  cars. 
These  can  be  flipped  or  rotated  and 
placed  in  your  picture.  The  three  de- 
fault text  sizes  are  normal  (like 
Graphics  0  uppercase),  double-width 
("Graphics  I,"  upper/lowercase)  and 
double-width,  double-height 

("Graphics  2").  \bu  can  also  add  italic. 


bold  or  script  character  sets.  But  the 
manual  doesn't  suggest  a  way  to  add 
custom  sets. 

The  ZOOM  function  is  easy  to  use 
and,  unlike  the  Magnify  function  in 
Micro  Illustrator,  you'll  know  exactly 
where  you  are  in  your  picture.  How- 
ever, ZOOM  only  lets  you  place  one 
pixel  at  a  time — you  can't  FILL, 
SPRAY  or  even  SKETCH. 

The  SCROLL  feature  lets  you  wrap 
the  screen  horizontally  or  vertically. 
In  other  words,  you  can  center  your 
picture,  then  save  it — and  it'll  be  cen- 
tered when  you  reload  it. 

You  can  print  your  pictures  on 
graphics-capable  Epson  printers,  as 
well  as  Star/Gemini,  Panasonic  and 
Okidata  Okimate  printers.  The  30- 
page  manual  has  plenty  of  illustra- 
tions but  skimps  on  some  details. 
However,  experimentation  should  tell 
you  all  you  need  to  know.

Overall,  the  Animation  Station 
graphics  tablet  with  DesignLab  soft- 
ware is  a  good  package  that  makes  a 
worthy  replacement  for  the  unavail- 
able KoalaPad  and  Atari  Touch  Tablet. 
If  you're  looking  for  a  touch  tablet, 
you  won't  be  disappointed  in  this  one.

Reviewed  by  Stephen  Roquemore 

Ordinarily,  I'm  no  big  fan  of  computer 
games.  But  this  inexpensive  little  gem 
from  White  Bag  Software  is  a  wel- 
come exception.  It's  challenging  and 


holds  my  interest. 

MoneySpin  is  based  on  the  popu- 
lar TV  game  "Wheel  of  Fortune,"  but 
it  uses  a  "one-armed  bandit"  as  its 
motif  instead  of  a  carnival  wheel.  Up 
to  four  can  play.  There  are  two  general 
categories  and  one  each  for  history 
and  sports,  as  well  as  a  "hard" 
category — which  is  hard. 

Each  category  has  four  subtopics: 
things,  phrases,  persons  or  titles.  Se- 
lect a  consonant.  If  you  guess  cor- 
rectly, the  letter  is  displayed  in  the  row 
of  boxes — just  like  "Wheel  of  For- 
tune," only  there's  no  Vanna  White. 

If  you  have  enough  money  to  buy 
vowels,  buy  F's  first — they're  the  most 
cominon.  The  dollar  amount  is 
selected  by  the  one-armed  bandit  in- 
stead of  a  wheel.  You  can  keep  buy- 
ing vowels  or  spin  again.  If  you  think 
you  know  the  answer,  you  can  guess. 
However,  you  should  go  for  as  many 


letters  as  possible  to  build  up  your 
winnings — but  it's  very  easy  to  blow 
it  all  on  a  bad  spin.  After  four  rounds 
are  over,  you  can  return  to  the  menu, 
spin  some  more  or  load  a  new  file  and 
start  again. 

You  can  create  your  own  data  files 
or  just  use  the  ones  provided.  I 
recommend  using  the  game  disk's 
data  files  for  a  while  before  building 
your  own. 

You  must  use  your  own  disks  for 
creating  data  files,  because  the  pro- 
gram only  looks  for  certiiin  filenames. 
If  you  put  your  new  files  on  the  game 
disk,  you'll  wipe  out  the  original  files. 
It's  basically  a  straightforward  proc- 
ess and  the  manual  tells  you  what  you 
need  to  know. 

If  you  are  looking  for  inexpensive, 
interesting  software  for  your  8-bit 
Atari,  1  highly  recommend  Money- 
Spin.  ■

Long  ago  a  salesman  said,  "No  Atari™  owner  wili  spend  more  ttian  30 
minutes  to  learn  a  computer  program. "  And  all  agreed.  And  so  it  was 

etched  in  stone . .  .  Ihats  why  you  have  4  dalabases  that  can't  do  the  job.  That's  wtiy 
you're  thinking  IBIVI.  That's  why  the  most  powerful  8-bit  computer  never  reached  the  potential 
every  Atari  owner  l<new  it  had . . .  UNTIL  NOW! 

Turbobase: 

It  gives  you  the  same  CREDIT  IBM  ™  and  Apple  ™  give  their  owners! 

And  the  polenlial  realized  is  lantaslic  indeed.  It  slays  the  16-bit  dragon!  Wtiat  PC  package  can  stand  direct 
comparison  with  Turbobase '"  in  all  the  specific  features  crucial  to  small  business; 

•  Capability  •  Complete  Documentation        ■  Speed  among  thousands  of  records 

•  Capacity  .  $20-550  Customizalions  .  Ease  of  learning  (per  feature) 

.  Remote  Terminals  •  One  package/all  modules  •  Numberof  English  error  messages 

.  Exhaustive  Support  •  All  Hardware  Upgrades  •  Adaptability  to  Existing  Application 

.  No  Disk  Switching  •  Brand  Name  Hardware  •  Hardware/DOS  easier  than  Clone/MS  DOS 

•  Tin/ Footprint  •  True  Integration  •  Faster  Back-up  to  inexpensive  floppy 

.  Not  Copy  Protected  •  Free  Application  Set-up  •  Complete  Invoice/Payments  Error  Checking 
Sure  it  takes  longer  than  30  minutes  to  learn . . .  like  driving  a  car  takes  longer  to  learn  than 
riding  a  bike.  So  what!!!  It's  easier  than  Dbase  '" ,  Rbase '"  .Lotus",  etc  J

tor  the  Atari  800,  800XL,  65XE,  130XE 

Designed  by  Jeff  Brenner,  columnist  for  Computer  Shopper 
magazine,  of  "Applying  Tfie  Atari"  fame,  and  auttior  of  book 
and  magazine  articles  in  COMPUTE!.  ANALOG  and  otfiers. 
LOOK  WHAT  YOU  CAN  DO  WITH  FORMS 
GENERATOR:  Purchase  merchandise  by  mail?  Next 
time,  send  a  customized  purchase  order  form!  Does 
your  home  or  business  ever  need  statements,  in- 
voices, proposals,  job  work  orders,  gift  certificates, 
etc.?  No  problem!  Use  FORMS  GENERATOR'S  scrolling  spreadsheet- 
style  screen  to  design  almost  any  form  to  suit  your  exact  needs.  What 
you  see  on-screen  is  Viihat  you  get  on  paper!  Use  the  text  mode  with  any 
80-column  printer,  or  the  high-res  graphics  mode  with  the  Epson, 
Gemini/Star,  Okidata,  Panasonic  or  Prowriter  for  remarkably  realistic 
forms.  BUT  THAT'S  JUST  THE  BEGINNING:  Once  you've  designed  a 
form,  you  can  program  FORMS  GENERA  TOR  to  make  all  calculations 
automatically!  Imagine:  after  you  enter  quantities,  descriptions  and 
prices,  FORMS  GENERATOR  moves  about  the  form  calculating  ex- 
tended prices,  subtotals,  and  even  the  sales  tax!  Like  magic!  (Sample

keeping,  since  you  can  save  filled  forms  to  disk!

HALF  THE 

FUN! 


The  other  half  is  surviving  the 
latest  Microcomputer  game  from 
The  Avalon  Hill  Game  Company. 
SPITFIRE  '40  is  a  flight  simu- 
lator with  a  purpose.  At  your 
control  is  the  Supermarine 
Spitfire  Mark  II,  the  plane  that 
fought  the  Battle  of  Britain.  The 
control  panel  is  reproduced  from 
the  real  McCoy,  right  down  to 
the  gas  gauge.  Even  better,  it  flies 
just  like  the  Spitfire. 

SPITFIRE  '40.  The  best  thing 
since  the  real  thing. 


Spitfire  40  for  your  Atari 

8-bit  and  ST  Computers.

Game  of  the  Month 


By  Heidi  Brumbaugh,  Antic  Junior  Editor 


Hot  and  Cold 


( ( 


'Master  Mind' '  challenge  in  8-bit  BASIC 

Hot  and  Cold  is  an  Atari  8-bit  variation  on  the  classic 
peg  game  recently  revived  as  Master  Mind.  This  com- 
pact BASIC  program  works  on  Atari  8-bit  computers  of 
any  memory  size,  with  disk  or  cassette. 

Just  about  everybody  has  played  Make  your  deduction  by  moving 

Master  Mind,  or  at  least  knows  the  joystick  to  highlight  a  symbol  and 
about  this  popular  pegboard  then  pressing  the  joystick  button  to 
gameof  logical  deduction.  The  select  it.  After  your  choice  is  dis- 
game's  concept  is  centuries  old.  played,  the  computer  asks  you  to  con- 
It  was  played  in  old  England  as  Cows 
and  Bulls  and  more  recently  as  Code- 
Breaker 

Antic  published  an  ST  version  of 
Master  Mind  as  Deduction  in  our  De- 
cember, 1986  issue.  The  October, 
1983  Antic  Game  of  the  Month  was 
Maxter  Mind,  which  was  written  in 
assembly  language.  However,  Hot  and 
Cold  is  the  first  8-bit  Atari  BASIC  ver- 
sion of  Master  Mind  ever  published  in 
Antic. 

GEHING  STARTED 

Type  in  Listing  1,  HOTCOLD.BAS, 
check  it  with  TYPO  II  and  SAVE  a 
copy  before  you  RUN  it. 

Hot  and  Cold  is  programmed  in 
Graphics  1,  a  five-color  mode.  That's 
not  really  enough  different  colors 
handle  the  complete  color-guessing 
puzzles  of  the  traditional  pegboard 
Master  Mind  game.  So  instead  of 
colors,  this  time  your  Atari  will  chal- 
lenge you  with  random  arragements 
of  symbols. 

Which  four  of  these  six  symbols — 
* ,  -!-,!,$,#  and  > — has  the  computer 
chosen?  And  in  what  order  are  these 
symbols  placed?  You  must  figure  out 
the  correct  pattern  of  symbols  in  10 
turns  or  less.  And  a  symbol  can  be 
used  more  than  once  in  each  pattern, 
which  makes  matters  even  more  dif- 
ficult.

firm  it,  which  gives  you  an  opportu- 
nity to  change  your  mind. 

After  you  select  YES  from  the  con- 
firm menu  at  the  right  side  of  the 
screen,  the  computer  will  tell  you 
how  many  symbols  are  "hot'^— the 
correct  symbol  in  the  correct  place — 
and  how  many  are  "warm'^— the  cor- 
rect symbol  in  the  wrong  place. 

This  information  appears  in  "W" 
and  "H"  columns  at  the  right  of  your 
selected  symbol  patterns.  Your  re- 
maining symbols  are  "cold'^— so  far 
off  that  they're  not  even  displayed  in 
a  column.  The  trick  is  that  the  com- 
puter won't  say  which  guesses  are  hot 
or  warm.  That's  the  part  you  must  fig- 
ure out  logically. 

For  example,  if  the  computer's  pat- 
tern is  +  *  !>  and  you  guess  +  +  *#, 
you'll  have  a  1  in  the  H  (hot)  column 
for  the  +  and  a  1  in  the  W  (warm) 
column  for  the  * .  Notice  that  the  cor-

rect  +  at  the  left  is  counted  only  in 
the  H  category  and  is  not  repeated 
under  W. 

Several  different  strategies  can  be 
used  to  win  Hot  and  Cold.  One  is  to 
eliminate  symbols  in  order  to  make 
the  clues  clearer  In  the  example 
above,  your  next  guess  might  be  ####. 
You  would  have  a  zero  in  both 
columns,  telling  you  there  are  no 
pound  signs  in  the  answer  Guessing 
+  +  +  +  would  tell  you  that  one  (and 
only  one)  of  the  plus  signs  in  your  first 
guess  was  correct — but  you  still 
couldn't  be  sure  whether  or  not  it  was 
in  the  right  place. 

Another  less  scientific  approach  is 
to  make  a  few  random  guesses  so  you 
will  have  lots  of  information  to  rely 
on.  Your  guesses  remain  on  the  screen 
throughout  the  game,  so  the  real  chal- 
lenge of  the  game  is  to  make  new 
selections  based  on  the  hints  given  in 
previous  turns. 


If  you  don't  guess  the  pattern  in  10 
turns,  the  computer  will  display  the 
correct  sequence  and  ask  if  you  want 
to  play  again. 

ABOUT  THE  PROGRAM 

The  code  for  Hot  and  Cold  is  short 
and  straightforward.  After  initializing 
the  program  variables,  the  computer 
randomly  selects  its  four  symbols.  It 
prints  the  game  board,  sets  up  the 
selection  menu  and  then  monitors  the 
joystick  to  get  the  four  symbols  that 
make  up  the  player's  guess.  If  the 
player  confimis  the  choices,  the  com- 
puter evaluates  the  sequence  by 
checking  each  symbol  in  the  correct 
sequence  against  each  symbol  in  the 
player's  guess. 

Play  continues  until  you  figure  out 
the  sequence,  or  until  all  10  turns  are 
used  up.  ■

Critical-Path 
Project  Manager 

Streamline  your  personal  projects  like  the  pros 

by  DAVID  SCHWENER 

Use  advanced  business  techniques  to  plan  any  of  your  own  personal 
projects  for  greatest  efficiency,  prioritizing  tasks  and  managing 
time  most  effectively.  Critical  Path  Project  Manager  uses  the  break- 
through concepts  developed  for  major  corporations.  And  it  displays 
or  prints  easy-to-understand  work  analysis  charts  that  w^ill  help 
keep  your  project  moving  towards  successful  completion.  This  ele- 
gantly written  BASIC  program  works  with  Atari  8-bit  computers 
with  at  least  48K  memory  and  a  disk  drive. 


As  far  as  I  know,  Critical  Path  Project 
Manager  is  the  first  professional  task- 
scheduling  program  for  Atari  com- 
puters. With  advanced  professional- 
level  evaluation  techniques  and  a 
graphic  display  of  project  informa- 
tion, Project  Planner  helps  manage 
even  the  most  complex  projects  effi- 
ciently. 


But  even  if  you  don't  need  Project 
Manager  to  help  you  run  your  own 
business  or  job,  this  software  can  be 
used  for  any  activity,  from  club  pic- 
nics to  weddings  to  your  next  pro- 
gramming effort. 

A  project  consists  of  several  tasks 
that  must  be  completed  to  meet  the

final  goal.  Each  task  has  its  own  name, 
length  and  relationship  to  the  other 
tasks.  The  core  of  the  Project  Manager 
program  is  the  Critical  Path  Method 
(CPM),  which  is  widely  used  by  large 
corporations  to  evaluate  task  relation- 
ships. Because  some  tasks  cannot  be- 
gin until  others  are  done,  a  path,  or 
series  of  related  tasks,  is  formed. 

The  critical  path  of  a  project  is  the 
longest  series  of  tasks  which  must  be 
done  on  time  to  finish  the  project  be- 
fore the  deadline.  Other  tasks  are  con- 
sidered non-critical,  since  their  stiirt 
and  finish  can  be  delayed  without  af- 
fecting the  final  date.  The  maximum 
delay  is  called  slack  time.  These  tasks 
are  then  displayed  on  a  "Gantt  Chart," 
which  shows  both  critical  and  non- 
critical  tasks. 

PLANNING  A  PROJEa 

1.  Define  the  objective  and  start 
date  of  the  project. 

2.  List  each  task  required  to  com- 
plete the  objective. 

3.  List  each  task's  duration.  Also, 
decide  if  it  must  wait  for  other  tasks 
to  finish  before  it  can  start.  A  task  that 
must  be  finished  before  another  task 
can  begin  is  called  a  predecessor. 

4.  Enter  the  data  according  to  the 
following  instructions,  and  view  the 
Gantt  chart.  Look  at  the  date  of  the 
final  task  to  see  when  the  project  will 
be  completed. 

USING  THE  PROGRAM 

Type  in  Listing  1,  PROJPLNR.BAS, 
check  it  with  TYPO  II  and  SAVE  a 
copy  before  you  RUN  it. 

When  you  type  a  number  or  letter 
for  menu  selections,  the  characters  do 
not  appear  onscreen  and  you  don't 
have  to  press  [RETURN].  However, 
when  you  type  information  for  the 
program,  these  characters  do  appear 
onscreen  and  you  must  press  [RE- 
TURN] to  signal  that  you're  done  with 
a  specific  entry. 

David  Schwener,  a  product  engineer 
from  Fayetteville,  North  Carolina, 
divides  his  computer  time  evenly  be- 
tween programming  and  business 
applications.  This  is  his  first  publi- 
cation in  Antic. 


Pressing  [ESCAPE]  lets  you  exit,  un- 
less there's  a  specific  menu  selection 
for  doing  so.  Also,  if  the  border  color 
is  no^  black,  or  if  there's  a  message  in- 
dicating calculations  in  progress,  user 
input  is  temporarily  blocked. 

MAIN  MENU  CHOICES 

LOAD/SAVE  A  PROJECT:  At  the 
prompts,  enter  the  drive  number,  then 
the  filename  with  no  extender.  The 
directory  only  shows  files  with  the 
.PRJ  extender. 

PROJECT  INFORMATION;  To  se- 
lect one  of  the  following  options, 
highlight  it  with  the  [LEFT  ARROW] 
and  [RIGHT  ARROW],  then  press 
[RETURN]. 

PNAME:  The  Project  Name  can  be 
25  characters  long  and  should  ade- 
quately describe  the  project  as  a 
whole. 

START:  The  start  date  (mm/dti/yy) 
of  the  first  task  of  the  project.  Warn- 
ing: the  program  will  not  check  for 
the  validity  of  a  date  (for  example, 
02/31/88),  so  be  accurate. 

SCALE:  This  refers  to  the  unit 
length  of  one  duration — hours,  days, 
weeks,  months,  etc.  Change  the  scale 
based  on  the  project  length. 

WDAYS:  Valid  only  in  the  Day 
scale.  Workdays  lets  you  exclude 
weekends   and   holidays. 

GANTT  CHART:  Selecting  this  op- 
tion without  first  loading  a  data  file 
or  entering  a  start  date  sends  you  to 
Project  Information,  where  you  must 
enter  a  start  date  before  continuing. 

ADD:  Enter  an  identification  (ID) 
number  and  press  [RETURN] .  IDs  are 
like  line  numbers  in  BASIC  programs: 
always  increment  them  in  steps  of  five 
or  10  to  allow  later  additions.  Enter- 
ing an  existing  ID  generates  an  error 
The  task  is  added  to  the  schedule 
based  on  the  ID.  If  you  use  an  ID 
higher  than  any  other  task,  the  new 
task  will  be  added  as  the  last  task  in 
the  schedule.  If  tasks  10  and  20  exist, 
adding  task  15  will  go  in  between 
them.  When  adding  a  task,  no 
predecessors  are  changed  automat- 
ically.

WYSIWYG  Cassette  Jackets 

Say  goodbye  to  cassette  chaos 

by  CHET  WALTERS 


If  you're  like  a  lot  of  other  folks  to- 
day, you  probably  make  back-up  cas- 
sette copies  of  your  LP  record  albums, 
CD  albums  or  commercial  tapes.  It's 
wonderfully  convenient  to  have  your 
favorite  music  on  cassettes  you  can 
use  in  the  car  or  with  a  portable  cas- 
sette player.  Not  to  mention  the  crea- 
tive satisfaction  of  being  your  own 
disk  jockey  and  making  up  original 
cassette  programs  that  present  the 
music  in  exactly  the  order  you  want. 
As  your  collection  of  cassettes 
grows,  sooner  or  later  you'll  find 
yourself  facing  the  familiar  problem 
of  trying  to  write  all  the  songs  and  art- 
ists on  those  cramped  cardboard  cas- 
sette jackets.  If  you're  like  me,  you 
smear  what  you  wrote  for  Side  A 
while  you're  struggling  to  pen  Side  B, 
or  you  discover  that  you  haven't  got 
enough  room  for  all  the  information 
you  want  to  include. 

WHIZZY-WIG 

WYSIWYG  (the  desktop  publishing 
acronym  for  "what  you  see  is  what 
you  get")  produces — in  any  typeface 
you  desire — great-looking  cassette 
jackets  that  you  cut  out  and  insert  into 
your  cassette  cases  instead  of  the  card- 
board jackets  that  come  with  blank 
tapes. 

The  program  utilizes  the  bit-map 
graphics  capabilities  of  Epson  or  C. 
Itoh  Prowriter  printers  and  their  com- 
patibles (Star,  Gemini,  Seikosha,  etc.).

them  in  a  disk  file  called  D:  LINES.  LST. 

To  merge  the  two  programs,  LOAD 
"D:WYSIWYG.BAS  "  then  ENTER 
"DiLINES.LST".  Just  remember  to 
SAVE  the  completed  program  before 
you  RUN  it.  You  can  then  DELETE 
Listing  2  and  LINES.  LST  from  your 
disk  to  give  you  more  room  for  font 
and  jacket  files. 

PRINTER  CHOICES 

When  you  RUN  the  program,  the  first 
thing  you're  prompted  to  do  is  choose 
a  printer.  Since  WYSIWYG 's  ultimate 
goal  is  a  nice  printout,  we  must  be 
sure  that  the  program  works  with 
your  own  printer.  If  you  have  an 
Epson-compatible  (Star,  Gemini,  Sei- 
kosha, etc.)  or  a  Prowriter-compatible, 
just  press  the  corresponding  number 
key. 

WYSIWYG  can  also  be  made  to 
work  with  almost  any  printer  that  has 
graphics  capability.  You  simply  add 
the  necessary  information  to  the 
printer  list  according  to  the  instruc- 
tions given  in  the  REM  statements  that 
appear  in  lines  2042-2046  of  Listing  1. 

Since  the  program  was  designed 
around  an  Epson  printer,  the  best  re- 
sults are  obtained  with  printers  capa- 
ble of  producing  bit-mapped  graphics 
at  120  DPI  (dots  per  inch)  horizon- 
tally and  72  DPI  vertically.  Since  ver- 
tical resolution  is  standard  on  most 
printers  (each  pin  is  1/72  inch  apart) 
just  enter  the  data  that  will  set  your 
printer  to  issue  eight-dot  line  feeds. 

(That's  1/9  of  an  inch.)

Print  neat,  readable  jacket 
directories  for  all  your  audio 
cassettes  in  any  typeface  you 
like.  WYSIWYG  Cassette 
Jackets  is  a  BASIC  program 
that  works  on  8-bit  Atari  com- 
puters with  at  least  32K  mem- 
ory and  a  disk  drive.  The  pro- 
gram should  work  with  most 
graphics-capable  dot  matrix 
printers. 


November  1987 


For  horizontal  resolution,  set  your 
printer  for  120  DPI  (or  96O  dots  per 
8-inch  line — sometimes  called  high- 
resolution  graphics)  and  tell  it  to  ex- 
pect 480  dots.  What  we're  after  is  a 
jacket  that  is  four  inches  wide  and  4 
1/8  inches  long  to  match  the  card- 
board jackets  of  standard  cassette 
cases.  If  your  printer  cannot  produce 
exactly  120  DPI,  set  it  to  print  at  the 
nearest  resolution  greater  than  120 
DPI  and  clip  your  jackets  a  little  wide 
so  that  they're  eight  inches  from  side 
to  side. 

Now  tell  'WYSIWYG  whether  the 
most  significant  bit  (MSB)  or  least  sig- 
nificant bit  (LSB)  will  "fire"  the  TOP- 
WIRE  of  your  printer  The  last  num- 
ber in  your  printer's  DATA  statement 
must  be  this  value — either  1  or  128 — 
and  it  must  appear  as  a  negative  num- 
ber to  signify  that  WYSIWYG  should 
stop  reading  DATA  and  move  on.  If 
your  printouts  have  the  text  upside 
down,  you've  entered  the  wrong 
value  here. 

MAIN  MENU 

From  the  main  menu  you  can  CRE- 
ATE a  new  jacket,  EDIT,  SAVE,  or 
PRINT  a  jacket  currently  in  memory. 
The  [E],  [S]  and  [P]  keys  won't  work 
unless  there  is  a  jacket  in  memory.  Y)u 
can  also  LOAD  a  jacket  previously 
saved;  or  load  a  custom  FONT  for 
printing  and  editing.  Since  this  is  your 
first  time  RUNning  the  program,  your 
only  options  are  CREATE  and  FONT. 

CUSTOM  FONTS 

Wlien  WYSIWYG  loads,  it  moves  the 
Atari  ROM  character  set  to  its  own 
RAM  area  to  use  for  display  and  print- 
ing. You  can  replace  this  RAM  font 
with  any  nine-sector  FONT  file 
created  with  a  font  editor  such  as  En- 
vision ($19.95,  The  Catalog,  AP0185). 
If  you  have  a  disk  full  of  these  fonts, 
you'll  likely  want  to  press  [F]  to  load 
a  font  right  now. 

At  the  filename  prompt  you  can  get 
a  disk  directory  by  pressing  a  drive 
number  and  [RETURN].  Go  to  the 
menu  simply  by  pressing  [RETURN] , 
or  enter  the  "Dw:filename.ext"  of 
your  font  file  and  press  [RETURN] . 
(The  n  is  necessary  only  if  you're  us- 
ing a  drive  other  than  Dl:.)  If  you 


choose  the  latter,  your  font  file  will 
load  and  be  shown. 

Caution:  you  must  load  a  legitimate 
font  file.  WYSIWYG  gets  its  person- 
ality by  using  the  character  set  in  its 
RAM  area  for  display  as  well  as  print- 
ing. If  you  inadvertantly  load  a  file 
that  turns  the  display  to  garbage,  press 
[CONTROL]  [.]  while  at  the  main 
menu  to  reinstall  the  Atari  ROM  set 
into  RAM.  Then  reload  the  correct 
font  file.  But  be  warned;  [CONTROL] 
[.]  will  wipe  any  custom  font  you've 
loaded,  so  don't  use  this  key 
wantonly. 

CREATE  AND  EDIT 

Since  you  have  no  jacket  file  as  yet, 
press  [C]  for  CREATE.  WYSIWYG  will 
wipe  the  jacket  form  clean  and  turn 
you  over  to  the  editor  What  you  see 
now  is  an  accurate  representation  of 
Side  A,  or  the  leftsidt  of  your  cassette 
jacket.  To  the  right  of  that  is  a  mini- 
menu  displaying  the  editing  features 
available  and  which  side  of  the  jacket 
you're  editing. 

Jacket  lines  1-20  represent  what 
will  show  through  the  clear  plastic  of 
the  cassette  case,  where  most  of  your 
songs  will  be  listed.  At  the  bottom,  be- 
tween two  heavy  lines,  is  the  title 
area,  which  you  see  at  the  narrow  end 
of  the  cassette  case  once  the  jacket  is 
clipped  and  folded.  Press  [CON- 
TROL] [E]  to  go  to  the  bottom  of  the 
form  and  you'll  see  jacket  lines  21-27, 
which  appear  on  the  back  of  the  cas- 
sette case. 

Side  A  now  has  a  form  27  lines  long 
by  25  characters  wide  to  hold  your 
song  list,  plus  two  lines  for  the  title. 
Press  [CONTROL]  [S]  to  see  a  match- 
ing form  for  Side  B,  which  goes  on 
the  right  side  of  your  jacket.  [CON- 
TROL] [S]  flips  between  the  two. 

Since  [CONTROL]  keys  are  re- 
served for  the  commands  illustrated 
at  the  right,  only  standard  ASCII 
characters  (numbers,  uppercase  or 
lowercase  letters  and  punctuation 
symbols)  can  be  used  as  text.  [CON- 
TROL] [C]  centei-s  the  text  on  the  line 
in  which  the  cursor  appears,  and  then 
it  moves  the  cursor  to  the  next  line. 
If  there  are  any  leading  spaces,  the  text 
will  not  center  properly.  However, 
text  can  be  blocked  right  by  "center- 


ing" it  repeatedly. 

[CONTROL]  [F]  switches  the  dis- 
play font  between  your  custom  font 
and  the  Atari  ROM  font,  but  will  harm 
neither  of  them.  If  you  haven't  loaded 
a  custom  font,  [CONTROL]  [F]  won't 
work.  [CONTROL]  [D]  toggles  your 
Dolby  noise  reduction  selection 
through  None,  B,  C  or  Hxp.  [CON- 
TROL] [B]  toggles  the  Bias— NOrmal, 
Cr02  or  MeTal.  These  can  be  set  in- 
dividually for  each  side  and  they  ap- 
pear nicely  formatted  at  the  top  of 
your  printed  jacket. 

All  of  the  normal  features  of  the 
Atari  screen  editor  are  supported  by 
the  WYSIWYG  editor,  except  that 
[SHIFT]  [CLEAR]  erases  only  one  line. 
To  clear  an  entire  side,  press  [CON- 
TROL] [T]  to  get  to  the  Top  Of  Form 
(TOE),  then  hold  down  [SHIFT]  whUe 
alternately  pressing  [CLEAR]  and  [RE- 
TURN] until  you're  satisfied. 

[CONTROL]  [INSERT]  and  [CON- 
TROL] [DELETE]  work  normally,  but 
only  on  the  line  in  which  the  cursor 
appears.  [SHIFT]  [lNSERT]ing  a  line 
scrolls  the  last  line  off  the  end  of  the 
form.  Any  text  pushed  off  of  the  form 
with  these  editing  keys  will  be  lost 
and  gone  forever  [SHIFT]  [INSERT] 
and  [SHIFT]  [DELETE]  will  not  work 
when  the  cursor  is  between  the  two 
title  lines. 

Type  your  song  titles  and  side  titles 
in  the  appropriate  places  on  each  side 
of  the  form,  and  then  press  [ESCAPE] 
to  exit  to  the  main  menu.  Once  there, 
pressing  [E]  returns  you  to  the  editor 
on  the  side  you  came  from. 

LOADING  AND  SAVING 
JACKETS 

When  loading  or  saving  a  jacket,  en- 
ter the  filename,  but  do  not  include 
an  extender  on  your  filename.  WYSI- 
WYG appends  .  JKT  to  SAVEd  file- 
names, thus  denoting  them  as  jacket 
files,  and  looks  for  this  extender  when 
loading  jackets.  Only .  JKT  files  can  be 
loaded,  and  if  you  try  to  load  a  file 
that  is  not  legitimate,  WYSIWYG 
returns  to  the  menu  while  retaining 
the  pristine  quality  of  the  current 
jacket  in  memory.  Jacket  files  are  21 
sectors  long,  so  you  can  fit  several  on 
a  disk.  The  program  can't  delete  jacket

Your  Best  Route 


Trip  planner  saves 

6j  JEFFREY  SUMMERS,  M.D. 


John  and  Mary  Smith  of  Honolulu  are 
planning  a  trip  to  the  mainland.  They 
want  to  see  the  Grand  Canyon,  Yel- 
lowstone National  Park,  the  Grand  Te- 
tons,  the  Air  Force  Academy,  San  Fran- 
cisco and  Disneyland.  Flights  could 
land  them  near  any  of  these  locations, 
and  then  they  will  rent  a  car  that 
charges  by  mileage.  Where  should 
they  land  and  what  route  should  they 
take  to  minimize  expenses? 

ABC  Delivery  Service  has  a  regular 
route  involving  10  stores  and  busi- 
nesses around  town.  There  is  a  morn- 
ing pickup,  then  the  parcels  are 
sorted,  and  an  afternoon  delivery  is 
planned  for  those  customers  that  have 
packages.  With  gasoline  prices  in- 
creasing again,  they  want  their  drivers 
to  use  the  shortest  possible  routes — 
which  may  change  daily  as  different 
businesses  receive  packages  from  the 
service. 

J.Q.  Publique,  with  his  Official  Air- 
line Guide  confidently  in  hand, 
figures  he  can  get  anywhere  in  the 
country  in  a  day,  but  he  has  trouble 
figuring  out  the  least  expensive  route 
when  he  has  to  go  to  five  different  cit- 
ies in  five  days,  the  order  of  which 
doesn't  matter 

Your  Best  Route  effortlessly  solves 
a  wide  range  of  route-planning  prob- 
lems. Type  in  Listing  1,  TRAVEL. BAS, 
check  it  with  TYPO  II  and  SAVE  a 
copy  before  you  RUN  it. 

When  you  first  RUN  the  program, 
use  option  [1]  to  create  a  new  table/ 
map.  In  the  following  example,  we'll 
make  up  a  small  table  using  only  four 
locations.  Up  to  20  locations  are  al- 
lowed. Antic  Disk  Owners  will  find

ies in  the  Western  U.S.,  WEST.MAP,  on 
this  month's  disk. 

MAKE  A  TABLE 

Each  location  name  can  have  only 
eight  characters,  so  type  Buffalo, 
Cleve,  Pitts  and  Columbus. 

Now  you'll  see  the  first  three 
columns  of  your  table.  The  cursor  is 
in  the  upper  right-hand  corner,  almost 
like  a  spreadsheet.  The  locations  ap- 
pear along  the  side  of  the  table  and 
across  the  top.  Move  around  the  grid 
with  the  [ARROW]  keys,  filling  in  dis- 
tances as  you  go.  Once  you  start  in  a 
direction,  you  can  either  press  [RE- 
TURN] to  continue  in  that  direction 
or  another  [ARROW]  key  to  change 
direction.  The  table  shows  three 
columns  at  a  time. 

Now  move  to  the  first  row 
(Buffalo),  second  column  (Cleveland) 
and  start  entering  distances  until  your 
table  looks  like  this: 

Buffalo  Cleve  Pitts  Columbus 
Buffalo  0      240    300        360 

Cleve  240  0    240        120 

Pius  300       240        0        150 

Columbus    360       120     150  0 

The  R  ON  in  inverse  video  at  the 
upper  right-hand  corner  of  the  screen 
means  that  the  "reciprocal"  function 
is  on.  Entries  for  distances  in  one 
direction  are  entered  automatically 
into  the  opposite  direction.  Naturally, 
the  distance  between  Buffalo  and 
Cleveland  is  the  same  as  the  distance 
between  Cleveland  and  Buffalo.  Press 
[R]  to  turn  off  the  reciprocal  fimction. 
You  can  toggle  this  as  much  as  you 
like  while  entering  or  editing  a  table. 

After  you're  satisfied  with  the  table, 
press  [E]  or  [ESCAPE]  to  go  back  to 
the  main  menu.  Now  save  the  table 
with  option  [2].  Use  the  format

Bibliography  Master 

Automate  your  term  papers 

by  ALFRED  FILSKOV  III 


Tliroughout  your  school  career,  you'U 
have  to  write  numerous  reports  and 
term  papers.  Virtually  all  of  these  es- 
says require  a  bibliography  that  lists 
your  sources  of  information.  Assem- 
bling a  bibliography  is  a  monotonous 
grind  at  best,  forcing  you  to  either 
memorize  or  continuously  look  up  a 
series  of  arbitrary  stylistic  rules.  But 
your  Atari  doesn't  get  bored  by  mo- 
notonous, rule-bound  work.  Just  give 
it  the  right  software  commands  and 
it'll  crunch  out  whatever  job  you  tell 
it  to  do. 

With  Bibliography  Writer,  now  you 
just  type  the  basic  information  for 
each  source  in  your  bibliography  and 
the  correct  formatting  is  all  done  au- 
tomatically. Source  categories  ac- 
cepted by  the  program  are  books,  en- 
cyclopedias, magazines,  newspapers 
and  interviews.  Additional  types  of 
sources  can  be  processed  with  the 
Compose  Your  Own  option.  After 
you  complete  your  bibliography  you 
can  alphabetize  it,  save  it,  print  out 
a  paper  copy,  or  even  store  it  as  an 
ASCII  disk  file  for  mei^ing  with  the 
word  processor  file  of  your  actual 
report. 

The  printing  routines  in  Bibliogra- 
phy Writer  are  designed  to  work  with 
Epson  printers  and  compatibles  such 
as  Star  and  Gemini.  But  if  you  don't 
own  an  Epson-compatible  printer, 
there  are  REM  statements  within  the 
program  that  you  should  be  able  to 
use  for  creating  any  printer  driver  you 
need. 

The  codes  to  start  and  cancel  un- 
derlining are  defined  in  line  90  as  [ES- 
CAPE] [1]  and  [ESCAPE]  [0].  If  the 
codes  for  your  printer  are  different,

GEHING  STARTED 

Beat  those  bibliography  blues!  Type 
in  Listing  1,  BIBWRITE.BAS,  check  it 
with  TYPO  II  and  SAVE  a  copy  before 
you  RUN  it. 

When  you  RUN  Bibliography 
Writer,  you'll  see  the  Main  Menu.  To 
enter  your  sources,  go  to  the  Entry 
Menu  by  pressing  [B].  Here  you'll 
choose  the  category  of  source  you 
want  to  enter — and  the  program  asks 
you  for  all  the  information  it  needs. 
When  you  are  through  entering  the 
information,  you  will  be  returned  to 
the  Entry  Menu.  If  you  need  to  enter 
a  source  that  is  not  on  the  Entry 
Menu,  you  can  choose  option  [6]  to 
compose  your  own  new  format. 

After  entering  all  your  sources,  you 
can  alphabetize  your  list  by  first  press- 
ing [C]  to  go  to  the  Edit  Menu  and 
then  selecting  option  [3].  To  print- 
preview  your  bibliography  onscreen, 
press  [A]  to  return  to  the  Main  Menu 
and  then  choose  option  [6].  If  you  see 
an  incorrect  source,  you'll  need  to 
remember  its  number  and  go  to  the 
Edit  Menu  by  pressing  [C].  Then, 
choose  [2]  to  delete  the  source  and 
type  the  number  of  the  incorrect 
source  followed  by  a  [RETURN].  You 
then  must  return  to  the  Entry  Menu 
and  re-enter  the  source. 

After  your  bibliography  is  correct, 
save  it  by  pressing  [2]  on  the  Main 
Menu.  Then  you  can  print  it  out  by 
choosing  option  [7].  Before  the  pro- 
gram prints  your  bibliography,  it  will 
ask  you  if  you  want  to  send  your 
printer  any  special  control  codes, 
such  as  instructions  to  use  the  near 
letter  quality  character  set.  If  you 
don't  wish  to  send  any  special  codes,

on  a  specific  date,  press  [S]  and  enter 
the  "time  line"  number  underneath 
the  corresponding  date.  The  time  line 
number  is  in  inverse  video  and  is 
merely  a  reference  number  for  that 
date. 

Press  [D]  to  enter  the  task's  dura- 
tion, which  should  relate  to  the  scale 
selected.  For  example,  if  using  the 
"week"  scale,  a  tiisk  that  takes  14  days 
should  be  entered  as  having  a  dura- 
tion of  2.  If  you  want  to  represent  an 
event  rather  than  a  task,  leave  the  du- 
ration at  0.  Tasks  with  no  duration  are 
called  "milestones"  and  are  shown  as 
asterisks  on  the  Gantt  chart. 

If  this  task  cannot  start  until  other 
tasks  are  complete,  press  [P]  for 
predecessors.  Up  to  five  predecessors 
(A-E)  can  be  entered.  To  enter  the  first, 
press  [A]  and  enter  the  ID  of  the 
preceding  task.  When  all  the  prede- 
cessors have  been  added,  press  [RE- 
TURN]. When  you're  done,  press  [F] 
for  finished. 

INS:  Insert  is  similar  to  Add,  except 
that  predecessors  are  shifted  auto- 
matically. For  example,  if  you  insert 
task  15  between  tasks  10  and  20,  the 
predecessors  for  15  will  become 
whatever  the  predecessors  for  20 
were.  Also,  task  15  is  added  as  a 
predecessor  of  task  20. 

CHG:  To  change  a  task,  you  must 
enter  an  existing  ID  or  else  you'll  get 
an  error  message.  The  CALC  option 
may  be  required  in  order  to  see  the 
change  reflected  on  the  Gantt  Chart. 

DEL;  Again,  an  existing  ID  must  be 
entered.  The  task  information  is  dis- 
played along  with  "Delete  this  task 
(Y/N)?".  Pressing  [Y]  deletes  the  tiisk. 
Pressing  anything  else  will  abort. 

SCR:  This  option  lets  you  view  var- 
ious parts  of  the  Gantt  Chart.  Press- 
ing [H]  displays  the  upper  left-hand 
corner  of  the  schedule,  beginning 
with  the  first  task  at  the  project  start 
date.  Pressing  [L]eft,  [Rjight,  [U]p  or 
[D]own  lets  you  enter  how  far  you 
want  to  move  in  that  direction.  The 


move  is  based  on  the  time  scale.  If  you 
press  [5]  and  the  scale  is  days,  you  will 
move  five  days  in  the  direction 
selected. 

CAL:  To  allow  faster  data  entry,  cal- 
culation of  the  critical  path  is  not  au- 
tomatic. If  on  the  last  line  of  the  dis- 
play the  word  CALC  appears,  the 
chart  might  not  be  pictorially  correct. 
To  view  the  correct  Gantt  Chart,  se- 
lect this  option  to  calculate  and  dis- 
play the  new  critical  path. 

REPORT  WRITING:  The  Gantt 
Chart  can  be  printed  either  in  normal 
or  condensed  print  (if  your  printer 
supports  it).  Place  your  printer's  con- 
trol codes  for  condensed  print  in  line 
4000. 

PROGRAM  TAKE-APART 

Lines  20-310  calculate  the  critical

Lines  4830-5260  contain  the  in- 
itialization routine  and  lines  5270- 
5290  display  errors. 

PROGRAMMING  NOTES 

Windows  are  achieved  through  the 
machine  language  routine  MOVE, 
which  moves  the  entire  Graphics  0 
screen  from  one  address  to  another. 
Wlien  a  window  is  needed,  the  screen 
is  fii-st  copied  to  another  location. 


Then  the  window  is  printed  to  the 
screen  using  standard  POSITION  and 
PRINT  statements,  replacing  the  text 
"underneath"  it.  When  the  window 
is  removed,  the  copied  screen  is 
moved  back  to  the  display  area  and 
the  text  is  restored  intact. 

Another  interesting  technique  oc- 
curs in  line  4520.  I  wanted  to  fill  a 
string  with  a  pattern  of  characters.  By 
slightly  modif)'ing  the  method  of  fill- 
ing a  string  with  a  single  character,  I 
was  able  to  fill  MASKS  with  a  pattern 
of  periods  and  spaces  in  a  single  line.H

files  though,  so  you  must  do  this 
through  DOS. 

Note:  If  you  have  a  jacket  in  mem- 
ory, even  if  it's  blank,  you  must  press 
[Y]  at  the  WIPE  CURRENT  FORM 
prompt  before  you  can  LOAD  or  CRE- 
ATE a  new  jacket. 

PRINTING  A  JACKET 

Ahh.  .  .  the  ultimate  purpose  of 
WYSIWYG.  Press  [P]  to  print,  and 
press  [N]  if  you  want  to  use  the  Atari 
ROM  set  instead  of  the  current  dis- 
played font.  (Pressing  [N]  won't  harm 
your  custom  set.)  Prepare  your  printer 
by  making  sure  it's  online  and  the  pa- 
per is  set  to  the  top  of  a  page.  If  you 
wish  to  stop  printing,  press  [ESCAPE] 
at  any  time.  Press  any  key  to  stiirt 
again. 

Your  jacket  is  printed  on  the  left 
side  of  the  page,  and  two  jackets  will 
fit  on  a  page.  The  printer  starts  print- 
ing exactly  where  your  paper  is  set, 
but  after  printing  a  jacket,  WYSIWYG 
issues  one  line  feed,  so  you  need  not 
adjust  your  printer  after  printing  only 
one.  After  the  second  jacket  on  a  page, 
however,  press  the  Form  Feed  button 
on  your  printer  to  move  the  paper  to 
the  top  of  the  next  page,  or  else  the 
next  jacket  will  print  across  the  per- 
foration. 

Once  you've  printed  your  jackets, 
cut  them  with  scissors,  a  paper  cut- 
ter or,  if  you're  like  me,  with  a  razor 
knife,  straight-edge  and  cork  board.

WYSIWYG 

continued  from  page  42 


Cut  your  jacket  on  the  heavy  black 
line  around  the  text,  trimming  about 
one  dot  from  the  outside  for  a  clean 
looking  edge.  Prowriter  users  should 
trim  about  1/8-inch  beyond  the  lines 
at  the  sides,  but  trim  as  above  on  top 
and  bottom.  Other  printer  users 
should  measure  with  a  ruler  for  ac- 
curate centering.  (Remember,  Cassette 
Jackets  are  four  inches  wide  and  4  1/8 
inches  long.) 

Once  cut,  the  jacket  folds  quite  eas- 
ily along  the  horizontal  lines  that  sur- 
round the  title,  subsequently  slipping 
into  a  cassette  case  very  neatly.  It 
might  be  a  good  idea  to  slip  that  card- 
board jacket  in  behind  the  WYSIWYG 
jacket  for  a  little  added  firmness. 

TECHNICAL  TRICKS 

WYSIWYG  tricks  the  ANTIC  chip 
into  thinking  that  E$  (for  EDITOR)  is 
the  screen  memory  area,  which 
works  well  unless  string  ES  happens 
to  cross  a  2K  memory  boundary. 

Adding  printers,  modifying  the  pro- 
gram's overall  length  (by  deleting 
REMs  or  adding  features),  or  using 
WYSIWYG  with  BASICs  other  than 
Atari  BASIC  (Turbo,  BASIC  XL  or  XE, 
etc.)  could  affect  the  display  of  the 
editor,  causing  garbage  to  appear  on 
the  screen. 

The  routine  beginning  at  line  9000 
takes  care  of  this  problem  very  neatly. 
If  E$  crosses  a  2K  boundary,  the  rou- 
tines in  lines  9004-9005  check  A$  and 
B$.  All  three  strings  are  DIMensioned 
to  1300  bytes  (see  line  2010).  SinceA$, 
B$  and  E$  are  DIMensioned  consecu- 
tively, they  will  be  placed  side-by-side 
in  memory.  For  example,  if  E$  begins 
at  memory  location  20000,  then  AS 
must  begin  1300  bytes  later  at  loca- 
tion 21300,  and  BS  at  location  22600. 

As  these  strings  occupy  nearly  4K 
of  memory,  there  will  always  be  a 
string  which  does  not  cross  a  2K 
boundary.  Once  we  find  it,  we  alter 
the  program's  variable  value  table  so 
that  the  string  is  re-assigned  to  E$. 


Atari  Community 
we're  all  in  it  together 


Using  the  above  example,  E$ 
crosses  a  2K  boundary  at  location 
20480,  so  we  must  use  another  string. 

A$,  beginning  at  location  21300, 
also  crosses  a  2K  boundary  at  loca- 
tion 22528,  so  we  continue  our 
search. 

BS,  beginning  at  location  22600, 
does  not  cross  a  2K  boundary.  This 
is  the  string  we  must  use. 

Your  BASIC  program  automatically 
builds  a  variable  value  table  to  help 
it  remember  which  string  variables  re- 
fer to  which  blocks  of  memory.  (The 
ADR  function  uses  this  table  to  find 
the  address  of  your  string). 

Knowing  this,  we  can  re-arrange 
the  table,  swapping  the  entries  for  E$ 
and  B$.  This  swap  occurs  in  lines 
9032-9034.  In  this  example: 

ADR(B$)  =  22600 
ADR(E$)=  20000 
before  the  swap 

ADR(B$)  =  20000 
ADR(E$)  =  22600 

after  the  swap  ■

YOUR  BEST  ROUTE 

continued  from  page  39 

"D:EXAMPLE.MAP".  If  you  need  a 
directory  for  drive  1  before  saving  the 
table,  press  [RETURN]  at  the  filename 
prompt.  If  there's  an  error,  the  screen 
turns  red.  The  same  procedure  is  used 
for  loading  a  table  with  option  [3]. 

ROUTE  CALC 

Now,  starting  in  Buffalo,  what's  the 
shortest  route  for  going  to  all  the  cit- 
ies and  returning  to  Buffalo?  Option 
[5]  plans  the  trip.  The  locations  are 
Listed  and  numbered.  If  the  starting  lo- 
cation could  be  any  of  the  locations, 
as  in  the  case  of  the  Hawaiian 
travellers,  press  [0]  at  the  prompt.  In 
our  example,  we  would  type  [1],  then 
[RETURN]. 

You  are  then  prompted  for  the  fi- 
nal location.  Again,  if  it  doesn't  mat- 
ter where  you  end  up,  enter  [0] ;  other- 
wise, enter  the  number  of  the  final 
location.  If  you  want  the  ending  lo- 
cation to  be  the  same  as  the  starting 


point,  type  [RETURN]  at  the  ending 
location  prompt. 

The  program  now  asks  for  the 
numbers  of  the  locations  you  want  to 
visit,  followed  by  [RETURN].  When 
you've  entered  all  locations,  press  [0], 
then  [RETURN],  to  tell  the  program 
you're  done.  The  screen  turns  yellow 
("I'm  thinking.  .  .")  and  the  starting 
location  is  displayed. 

The  time  needed  to  find  the  short- 
est path  depends  on  the  number  of 
locations  being  examined.  If  you  have 
six  locations  including  a  set  start  and 
finish,  you'll  see  results  fairly  quickly. 
If  you  choose  nine  locations,  go  for 
coffee. 

Built  into  the  program,  however,  is 
another  way  to  speed  things  up  by 
15%  to  30%.  Press  the  [SPACEBAR]. 
In  a  moment  the  screen  will  turn 
black  and  the  computer  can  devote 
more  power  to  running  the  program 
at  top  speed.  You  can  turn  the  screen 
back  on  by  repeating  the  process,  but 
it's  unnecessary.  The  program  turns 
the  screen  back  on  after  it  has  found 
the  shortest  path.  If  at  any  time  you 
find  an  error  in  your  table,  you  can 
edit  the  table  with  option  [4] ,  which 
puts  you  back  into  the  "spreadsheet" 
mode  used  to  enter  the  table. 

So  how  does  this  help  J.Q.  Pub- 
lique,  who  didn't  care  about  distances, 
only  about  the  fares  (which  seem  to 
have  little  relationship  to  distance 
these  days)?  If  you  guessed  that  the 
program  does  not  actually  have  to 
work  with  distances,  but  is  just  as 
good  with  dollar  amounts  (or  any 
other  numerical  units  you  need  to 
work  with),  give  yourself  a  gold  starH

Now,  they're  going  to  need 

even  stronger  superlatives 

to  describe  our  new  game  — 

GETTirSBURG: 

The  Turning  Point"!! 


After  the  long  months  of  hard  work 
it  took  to  create  Battle  ofAntietam, 
we  knew  we  had  a  very  special  winner 
on  our  hands.  We're  happy  to  see  that 
the  gaming  public  feels  the  same  way: 

"Battle  of  An tietam...  marks  a  long 
awaited  return  by  (SSI)  to  the  Civil 
War.  Let's  Just  say  it  was  worth  the 
wait.. .Inside  (the  package)  you'llfind 
...one  of  the  most  complete  manuals  to 
be  found  in  computer  gaming.  And  we 
do  mean  complete!... SSI  and  the 
authors  have  created  more  than  afirst 
rate  grand  tactical  simulation.. ..They 
have  captured  some  of  the  look  and 
feel'  of  Civil  War  combat,  and  it  shows." 
-  Computer  Gaming  World,  April  1986 

"Battle  of  Antietam  is  a  must  for  any- 
one with  even  a  mild  interest  in  the 
Civil  War.  The  simulation  is  easier  to 
understand  than  many  others  of  its 
kind.. .it's  more  than  Just  another 
game." 
-  COMPUTEl's  Gazette,  June  1986 


"Like  all  SSI  games,  Battle  of  Antietam 
has  been  meticulously  researched  and 
(s  a  tactical  game  on  a  grand  scale... 
SSI  has  produced  dozens  of  computer 
war  games,  gathering  praise  from 
many  sources.  Battle  ofAntietam,  how- 
ever, may  transcend  previous  efforts 
and  become  a  true  classic." 

-  COMPUTE!  June  1986 

"Battle  of  Antietam  is  highly  recom- 
mended..  .highly  absorbing  and  a 
superb  presentation  of  one  of  the  most 
historic  battles  of  the  Civil  War." 

-  Computing  Today!  May  1986 

Needless  to  say,  we're  pleased  by  this 
flood  of  compliments.  But  at  SSI,  we're 
our  own  harshest  critics,  which  is  one 
reason  SSI  continues  to  be  the  acknow- 
ledged leader  in  computer  wargaming. 
We  immediately  set  out  to  create  another 
Civil  War  game  that  further  raises  the 
standard  for  strategy  simulations. 
The  proud  result  is  GETTYSBURG: 
The  Turning  Point.

I  love  my  Atari  computers.  And  I  love  them  most  because 
they  have  changed  forever  the  way  I  write.  I  could  never  go 
back  to  banging  out  draft  after  draft  on  my  old  Smith-Corona. 
Last  year  I  formally  acknowledged  this  fact  when  I  gave  away 
the  typewriter  to  the  Salvation  Army. 

But  now  that  I  am  hooked  on  word  processing,  I  am  also 
hooked  to  the  computer  Gone  are  the  days  of  disappearing 
into  a  redwood  grove  to  finish  a  report  in  solitude.  No  longer 
the  romantic  fantasy  of  being  an  author  dressed  in  summer 
whites,  sitting  in  a  wicker  chair  on  the  lawn  with  a  small 
typewriter  on  my  knees. 

Then  I  began  to  think,  who  needs  a  small  typewriter  .  .? 
I  can  get  an  inexpensive  small  computer!  So  that's  what  I 
did.  I  found  a  first-generation  laptop  computer  being  closed 
out  for  less  than  $200.  It's  a  member  of  the  Radio  Shack 
Model  100/NEC  8201A  family. 

This  type  of  computer  is  not  very  powerful,  but  it  sup- 
ports a  delightfully  flexible  writing  enviroiTment.  It's  small 
enough  to  keep  in  the  car,  take  to  the  library,  or  curl  up  with 
in  an  overstuffed  chair.  You  can  even  bring  a  low-cost  laptop 
to  your  favorite  coffee  house  and  write  poetry  on  a  full-size 
keyboard  instead  of  paper  napkins  and  old  envelopes. 

So  my  writing  life  became  a  lot  sweeter — but  it  was  still 
not  perfect.  My  laptop's  text  editor  is  pretty  primitive.  It 
doesn't  even  have  search  and  replace.  And  there's  no  printer

support  at  all,  just  an  ASCII  file  dump.  So  if  this  laptop 
isn't  a  full-fledged  word  processing  computer,  what  is  it? 
Well,  to  me  it's  the  perfect  peripheral  for  any  Atu-i— a  port- 
able terminal  for  either  an  8-bit  or  an  ST.  {ANTIC  ON- 
LINE has  used  a  Radio  Shack  100  since  1985  to  transmit 
live  reports  from  computer  shows.— M<^\C  ED) 

My  laptop  is  a  very  convenient  tool  for  getting  my  first 
draft  into  digital  form— sort  of  a  memory  dump  for  the 
brain.  I  go  someplace  that  inspires  me  to  work  creatively 
and  write  a  rough  draft.  Then  I  zap  the  text  over  to  the 
Atari,  where  I  rewrite,  edit  and  generally  massage  it  into 
shape.  This  works  great  for  me,  because  rewriting  takes 
the  concentration  and  focus  that  my  office  can  provide. 

Zapping  the  text  file  to  your  Atari  is  easy.  Almost  all 
laptop  computers  have  some  kind  of  telecommunications 
capability  and  most  of  them  (even  the  lower-priced 
models)  have  a  built-in  modem.  This  provides  several  pos- 
sible ways  to  accomplish  the  file  transfer — depending  on 
which  Atari  computer  you  own. 

8-BIT  CONSIDERATIONS 

There  are  a  few  extra  factors  you  must  keep  in  mind  when 
uploading  laptop  files  to  an  Atari  8-bit  computer.  That's 
because  8-bits  don't  have  a  built-in  RS-232  port  like  the  STs. 

If  you  have  a  modem  that  plugs  directly  into  your  8- 
bit,  such  as  the  Atari  1030  or  XM301,  you  can  use  it  with 
your  laptop's  built-in  modem.  But  you'll  be  restricted  to 
the  speed  of  your  slowest  modem — probably  300  baud. 
Get  a  short  cable  with  a  modular  telephone  plug  at  each 
end.  Comiect  the  cable  to  your  modem  and  to  the  modem 
jack  on  the  laptop.  Now  you  can  follow  the  overall  direc- 
tions in  the  next  section. 

If  you  don't  own  a  modem  that  plugs  directly  into  your 
8-bit,  you'll  need  an  interface  module  with  an  RS-232 
adaptor,  such  as  ICD's  P:R:  Connection  or  the  Atari  850, 
before  you  can  proceed  to  the  instructions  below. 

There  is  one  more  adjustment  8-bit  owners  must  make. 
These  Ataris  use  a  non-standard  code  for  the  carriage  re- 
turn and  line  feed  (155  instead  of  13  and  10).  Your  soft- 
ware adjusts  to  this  with  a  parameter  called  Translation. 
Set  your  Translation  for  ASCII  (sometimes  called  Light 
Translation)  and  the  returns  will  be  fixed  automatically. 

NULL  MODEM 

To  transfer  files  between  a  laptop  computer  and  your  Atari, 
you  need  a  suitable  cable,  some  telecommunications  soft- 
ware and  either  a  modem  or  a  "null  modem." 

Null  modem  connectors  are  two-way  plugs  that  gener- 
ally cost  less  than  SlO.  These  devices  switch  the  wires  con- 
trolling data  flow,  which  makes  two  computers  think 
they're  talking  to  modems  instead  of  to  each  other  Several 
different  wiring  patterns  qualify  as  RS-232  null  modems. 
But  if  you  have  a  choice,  get  the  simplest  null  modem 
that'll  do  the  job  for  your  system.  You  can  also  get  cables 
wired  as  null  modems.  These  work  just  as  well,  but  you 
can't  also  use  them  with  real  modems.  {For  more  infor- 
mation about  null  modem  connectors,  see  ST  File  Trans- 
fers with  Kermit  Antic,  August  1985,  page  25. -ANTIC  ED) 


My  ST  and  my  laptop  both  have  standard  DB-25  sockets, 
so  I  can  use  a  null  modem  connector  with  a  normal 
modem  cable.  Other  laptops  might  need  custom  cables. 
Any  Atari  telecommunications  software  should  work. 
Most  laptops  already  have  adequate  file  transfer  programs 
built-in. 

LAPTOP  TO  ATARI 

Get  started  by  connecting  your  portable  to  your  Atari  via 
modem  cable  and  a  null  modem  (or  real  modem).  Turn 
on  the  telecommunications  software  of  both  computers. 
Now  you'll  need  to  set  the  software  for  both  machines 
to  the  following: 

8-bit  word  length 
1  stop  bit,  no  parity 
Half  duplex 
XON/XOFF  enabled 
Highest  baud  rate  for 
both  computers 

(The  highest  baud  rate  both  computers  can  handle  is 
generally  9600  or  19200  baud,  although  some  software 
may  be  limited  to  2400  or  even  300  baud.) 

If  one  computer  won't  accept  some  of  these  parameters, 
set  the  other  one  as  shown  above  and  pray  for  luck.  If 
you're  unlucky,  work  your  way  through  all  the  possibili- 
ties until  you  hit  on  one  that  succeeds.  You'll  know  you 
got  it  right  when  something  typed  on  either  keyboard 
shows  up  unscrambled  on  both  screens.  Make  sure  the 
carriage  returns  come  through  correctly  too. 

If  your  modem  software  supports  macros,  save  your 
successful  configuration  for  future  use.  Otherwise,  just 
write  it  down  and  keep  the  note  handy. 

Now  set  your  Atari  to  receive  a  simple  text  file.  Most 
programs  call  this  CAPTURE  or  RECEIVE  ASCII,  but  there 
are  other  variations.  You  do  not  want  XMODEM,  KER- 
MIT, or  any  of  the  other  protocols.  Give  your  Atari  a  file- 
name to  save  the  text.  Now  the  Atari  will  wait  to  receive 
the  datii. 

Tell  the  laptop  to  send  the  file.  The  computers  will  han- 
dle the  rest,  so  sit  back  and  watch  the  text  scroll  across 
the  Atari  screen.  When  the  file  transfer  is  complete,  be 
sure  to  save  the  file  to  disk  before  you  continue.. 

All  this  sounds  like  a  lot  of  work,  but  it's  really  easy 
and  takes  less  time  to  do  than  to  describe.  The  entire  proc- 
ess will  become  automatic  by  time  you  complete  your  sec- 
ond or  third  file. 

My  laptop  computer  is  the  best  purchase  I've  made  since 
I  got  my  original  8-bit  Atari.  It  has  made  the  hard  work 
of  writing  so  much  more  pleasant.  For  example,  ths  arti- 
cle was  written  on  a  sunny  Saturday  afternoon  while 
watching  the  radio-controlled  sailboats  glide  across 
Spreckels  Lake  in  San  Francisco's  Golden  Gate  Park.   ■

Alternate  Reality  is  liere  at  last 
for  the  ST!  Originally  previewed  in 
the  November,  1984  Antic,  this  is 
planned  to  be  a  seven-part  series  of 
interrelated  role-playing  fantasy  ad- 
venture games.  Each  adventure  will  be 
a  separate  scenario  with  its  own 
quests  and  puzzles  but  will  tie  into  the 
overall  plotline.  Sort  of  like  the  old 
Saturday  matinee  cliff-hangers,  isn't  it? 

The  City  is  the  first  installment  of 
the  series  and  must  be  completed  to 
go  on  to  the  succeeding  disks.  It  is  a 
training  ground  where  you  develop 
your  alter  ego  character's  personality, 
abilities,  and  equipment  as  well  as 
learning  basic  survival  skills. 

You  begin  the  game  by  creating 
your  player  character,  who  will  con- 
tinue throughout  the  series.  There  are 
six  character  traits  which  you  can 
pick:  stamina,  charm,  strength,  intel- 
ligence, wisdom,  and  skill.  Load  up 
on  strength  at  the  start,  since  your 
bare    hands    will    be    your    only 


weapons.  \bur  initial  finances  and  hit 
points  (measure  of  survivability)  are 
also  set  at  this  time.  As  your  charac- 
ter gains  experience,  these  trait  levels 
will  increase  and  allow  you  more 
playing  options  as  well  as  improve 
your    combat    skills. 

The  playing  area  is  modeled  after 
an  enclosed  city  with  over  4000  lo- 
cations. Hidden  behind  its  labyrin- 
thine walls  and  secret  passages  are 
shops,  inns,  taverns,  smithies,  and 
banks.  Here  you  can  purchase  equip- 
ment, get  a  job  or  invest  in  savings  ac- 
counts. Hidden  away  more  deeply  are 
the  various  guilds  where  you  can  in- 
crease your  character  trait  levels  and 
be  trained  in  the  arts  of  magic.  Map- 
ping the  city  is  vital  to  unravelling  its 
secrets  and  a  starting  map  guide  is  in- 
cluded in  the  game  documentation. 
Be  sure  to  purchase  a  compass  early 
on  in  the  game  or  you  will  quickly  be- 
come hopelessly  lost.  In  your  travels 
you  will  find  locations  that  you  can- 
not enter  without  a  future  scenario 
disk  (entrances  to  the  dungeon,  pal- 
ace, arena,  etc).  Mark  them  well  on 
your  map — they  will  be  important  as 
the  series  progresses! 

You  will  not  be  alone  in  your 
travels,  since  the  city  is  heavily  popu- 
lated with  both  honest  citizens  and 
those  who  prefer  to  prey  on  the  weak 
(e.g.  you).  Even  worse  are  the  non- 
human  horrors  who  stalk  the  streets 
after  dark,  so  beware  the  night  until 
you  gain  some  defenses!  Unless  you 


really  want  to  be  a  nasty  soul,  do  not 
pick  fights  with  commoners  or  mer- 
chants—the city  guards  will  take  an  un- 
favorable viewpoint  towards  your 
continued  existence! 

When  you  encounter  someone  (or 
something)  you  have  several  options 
including  attack,  retreat,  and  cast  a 
spell.  Effective  fighting  requires  dif- 
ferent tactics  for  different  foes.  Fight- 
ing occurs  in  real-time  so  keep  a  fin- 
ger near  the  pause  key  if  it  gets  too 
intense. 

Be  prepared  to  die  quickly  and  of- 
ten until  you  get  used  to  the  game. 
Stay  close  to  the  town  center  and  do 
not  go  out  at  night  until  you  get  a 
weapon  (a  dagger  is  good  to  start 
with).  After  you  gain  some  experience 
and  have  over  25  hit  points,  you  can 
try  some  exploring. 

Alternate  Reality's  point-of-view 
graphics  are  outstanding.  You  see 
your  surroundings  from  eye  level  in 
a  realistic,  detailed  3-D  perspective 
that  scrolls  very  smoothly  with  your 
movements.  The  realism  even  in- 
cludes sunrise,  sunset,  and  weather 
changes.  There  is  a  strong  time  depen- 
denc>'  to  the  game  and  many  play  op- 
tions can  only  occur  during  certain 
times.  Simple  movement  can  be  done 
by  mouse,  joystick,  and/or  keyboard 
controls.  However,  some  options  (e.g. 
leaving  a  store)  only  work  with  the 
joystick  or  keyboard. 

I  do  have  a  complaint:  the  game

save  is  the  worst  I've  ever  seen!  When 
you  save  the  game,  you  also  are 
thrown  out  of  the  program  and  left 
to  hang.  It  doesn't  even  return  to  the 
GEM  desktop.  Even  more  insidious, 
however,  a  given  game  save  can  be 
used  only  one  time  and  is  then  erased. 
This  lovely  effect  is  not  covered  in  the 
documentation  and  caused  me  to 
waste  the  benefits  of  several  hours  of 
game  play.  Adding  insult  to  injur)',  the 
game  save  file  apparently  cannot  be 
backed  up  by  normal  GEM  functions; 
however,  a  simple  sector  copier  will 
do  the  trick  nicely. 

Alternate  Reality:  The  City  is  poten- 
tially an  exciting  addition  to  the  ranks 
of  ST  gaming.  By  itself.  The  City  is 
not  so  much  a  game  as  a  placing  shell; 
there  is  no  purpose  besides  simply 
wandering  around,  killing  things, 
mapping,  and  building  up  your  char- 
acter in  preparation  for  quests  yet  to 
come.  The  success  of  the  series  re- 
mains with  the  disks  yet  to  come  (the 
next  one,  The  Dungeon,  is  not  slated 
for  release  until  the  end  of  1987).

LabelMaster  (LM)  is  a  combination 
address  book  database  and  label 
printer.  It  has  the  unique  feature  of 
printing  labels  with  graphic  pictures. 
It  comes  with  over  100  pictures,  has 
a  built-in  graphics  editor  for  making 
)'Our  own  pictures,  and  is  compatible 
with  PrintMaster  files,  meaning  that 
there  is  a  large  library  of  ready-made 
graphics  ready  for  use. 

The  first  portion  of  LM  is  the  data- 
base. Each  record  consists  of  fields  for 
First  Name,  Last  Name,  Address,  City, 


State  and  ZIP.There  is  no  phone  num- 
ber field.  You  fill  in  the  information 
by  typing  it  in  the  dialog  box  for  each 
record.  A  variety  of  buttons  also  ap- 
pear in  the  dialog  box.  You  may  print 
the  record,  delete  it,  move  to  another 
record,  move  to  the  first  or  last  rec- 
ord, find  the  next  occurrence  of  a 
specified  string,  or  choose  a  new 
graphic  design  for  the  file.  Two  other 
boxes  let  you  specif}'  how  many  of 
this  particular  label  will  be  printed, 
and  to  choose  the  personal  or  busi- 
ness format.  Personal  format  prints 
the  first  and  last  name  on  the  first  line 
of  the  label,  while  the  business  for- 
mat prints  the  first  name  on  the  first 
line  and  the  last  name  on  the  second 
line.  Thus,  you  can  put  the  person's 
whole  name  in  the  first  name  field, 
and  their  company  name  in  the  last 
name  field. 

LM  has  many  options  once  you 
have  designed  some  records.  You  may 
print  all  the  specified  records  as  busi- 
ness or  personal.  You  can  sort  the 
records  on  any  field.  You  can  also  cus- 
tomize the  text  of  a  special  label  to  be 
wide,  normal,  or  condensed  for  each 
line  individually.  You  cannot,  how- 
ever, print  out  already  defined  records 
using  this  special  definition,  but  must 
fill  in  the  information  on  the  screen 
— and  you  cannot  save  this  infor- 
mation. 

The  other  half  of  LM  is  the  graphics. 
Each  label  you  print  out  can  have  a 
graphic  icon,  or  small  picture,  printed 
on  the  left  side.  This  can  really  dress 
up  your  labels,  especially  when  you 
are  sending  out  Christmas  cards. 
When  you  print  out  a  whole  file  of 
labels  at  once,  they  will  all  have  the 
same  graphic  icon  printed  on  each 
one.  However,  when  you  print  out 


single  labels,  you  can  choose  which 
graphic  design  will  be  on  each  label. 
If  you  decide  to  load  a  design,  you 
will  be  presented  with  a  file  selector 
box  to  choose  the  name  of  the 
graphics  file  )'Ou  want  to  load.  Each 
graphics  file  contains  a  number  of 
icons.  After  you  have  loaded  the  file, 
a  page  of  titles  for  the  graphic  icons 
in  the  file  will  be  put  on  the  screen. 
You  ma)'  choose  one  of  the  titles  by 
clicking  on  it  or  mcne  to  the  next  page 
or  previous  page  of  titles.  Clicking  on 
a  title  will  load  it  and  it  will  then  be 
available  for  editing.  This  procedure 
is  also  how  you  load  a  design  when 
you  select  "change  design"  in  the 
database  portion  of  the  program.  The 
design  will  appear  magnified  on  the 
screen,  and  you  can  now  change  it. 
You  select  a  pen  color  (black,  white, 
or  checkerboard)  and  click  in  the 
squares  you  want  to  color.  You  can 
also  flip  the  design  either  horizontally 
or  vertically,  and  iiwert  it  (white  be- 
comes black,  black  becomes  white). 
You  can  move  the  design  one  line  in 
any  direction,  print  it,  erase  it,  and  ei- 
ther copy  or  move  a  user-defined 
block.  Further,  there  are  two  modes 
for  block  operations.  Replace  (covers 
what  was  there  before)  and  Transpar- 
ent (moves  or  copies  only  the  black 
dots  from  the  original  area  to  the  new 
area,  so  the  original  design  shows 
through).  You  may  also  draw  lines  of 
either  one-  or  three-pixel  width. 
When  you  are  done  with  your  design 
you  give  it  a  name  and  can  save  it  with 
the  file. 

LabelMaster  is  a  very  simple  pro- 
gram, but  it  does  what  it  is  supposed 
to  do  very  well.  The  graphics  editor 
could  benefit  from  a  few  more  tools 
(like  a  circle),  and  the  database  could 
use  a  phone  number  field,  so  that  you 
could  use  the  database  as  your  address 
book,  and  not  just  for  making  labels. 
But  all  in  all,  this  program  is  easy  to 
use  and  fulfills  a  function  I  have  yet 
to  see  anywhere  else.  If  you  enjoy 
making  creative  mailing  labels,  I 
recommend  this  program  to  you.   ■

TEST  DRIVE 

Experience  the  feel  of  driving  several  of 
the  world's  top  sports  cars,  from  a  Ferrari 
Testarosa  to  a  Lamborghini  Coiintiich  to 
a  Lotus  Esprit  Turbo.  Each  car's  accelera- 
tion, braking,  top  speed,  etc.,  is  true  to 
form.  Test  Drive  displays  the  interior  of 
the  car  and  the  road  from  the  viewpoint 
of  the  driver — once  inside,  you'll  see  an 
actual  rendition  of  the  dashboard  with  an 
inset  for  the  gearshift  knob. 

The  object  is  to  travel  over  different 
parts  of  the  highway  within  a  certain  time 
limit.  Periodically  you'll  check  in,  see  how 
you're  doing,  get  a  map  and  head  out 
again — if  you're  under  your  time  limit. 
Standing  in  your  way  will  be  slow  or  on- 
coming traffic,  falling  rocks — and  Smokey, 
of  course.  A  speeding  ticket  means  cur- 
tains, so  drive  carefully.

ANTIC,  The  Atari  Resource 


Tap  the  Power 

of  Your 
System  Clock 

Improve  your  timing  with  ST  BASIC 


A  few  weeks  ago  I  wrote  a  set  of 
benchmarks  to  test  a  variety  of  personal  computers,  including  the 
ATARI  ST.  The  benchmarks  (integer  math,  real  math,  logarithmic 
and  trigonometric  functions,  screen  output  speed  and  disk  I/O 
speed)  had  to  be  written  in  BASIC,  the  language  included  free  with 
every  PC  I  tested. 

As  I  was  writing  the  benchmarks,  the  time  came  when  I  had 
to  access  the  system  clock  from  BASIC,  and  on  my  own  ST,  I  found 
out  that  I  couldn't.  Well,  after  reading  everything  I  could  get  my 
hands  on  about  the  system  clock,  I  discovered  that,  although  there 
seem  to  be  two  clocks  running  in  the  ST  simultaneously,  there  is 
no  way  to  directly  access  either  one  of  them  from  ST  BASIC. 

Okay  then,  we'll  do  it  in  assembly  language.  This  is  the  basic  idea: 

•  write  an  assembly  language  routine  to  read  the  system  clock, 
decode  the  time,  and  store  it  in  memory 

•  assemble  the  routine 

•  write  a  BASIC  program,  incorporating  the  machine  language 
instructions  (assembler  output)  to  access  the  memory  locations 
containing  the  time,  read  the  time  and  display  it. 

And  that's  it.  Sounds  fairly  easy,  doesn't  it?  Well,  it's  not  quite 
that  easy,  and  here's  why.  GEMDOS  offers  two  function  calls  to 
access  the  clock:  $2C  (GET  TIME)  and  $2D  (SET  TIME).  The 
GET  TIME  call  requires  no  parameters,  and  returns  the  time  in 
the  low  word  of  the  68000's  data  register  DO.  continued  on  next  page 

By  STEPHEN  ORIOLD 


November  1987

Unfortunately,  it's  so  well-encoded  that  it'll  make  your 
life  miserable.  This  GEMDOS  clock  starts  running  immedi- 
ately at  start-up  (whether  you  set  it  first  or  not),  although 
it  might  not  have  the  right  time,  using  instead  the  time 
preset  by  ATARI.  The  GET  TIME  call  returns  the  hour  of 
the  day,  minutes  and  seconds.  GEMDOS  uses  different  calls 
(  $2A,  GET  DATE  and  $2B,  SET  DATE)  to  access  the 
system  date. 

There  are  other  ways  to  access  the  clock:  through 
IKBD  (intelligent  keyboard)  commands  $  IB  ( Set  clock) 
and  $1C  ( Read  clock),  or  XBIOS  calls  22  ( settime)  and 
23  ( gettime).  Both  the  IKBD  and  the  XBIOS  call  return 
both  the  date  and  the  tiine  of  day.  The  IKBD  call  returns 
this  information  in  packed  BCD,  in  six  bytes  and  a  time 
of  day  event  header  The  XBIOS  gettime  call  requires  no 
parameters  and  returns  the  date  and  time,  encoded,  in  a 
longword,  with  the  time  in  the  low  order  word. 

I  decided  to  use  the  GEMDOS  call  for  my  application. 
Let's  take  a  closer  look  at  this  GEMDOS  time.  The  GET 
TIME  call  returns  the  time  in  register  DO,  encoded  in  a 
special  pattern  of  individual  bits.  Take  a  look  at  Figure 
1  and  you'll  see  what  I  mean. 

The  number  of  seconds  is  stored  in  bits  0-4  (five  bits). 
Since  the  maximum  number  you  can  represent  in  five  bits 
is  31,  the  GEMDOS  clock  runs  in  two-second  increments. 
To  get  the  correct  number  of  seconds,  the  value  stored 
in  these  five  bits  has  to  be  multiplied  by  two. 

The  number  of  minutes  is  stored  in  bits  5-10  (six  bits), 
the  number  of  hours,  in  24-hour  format,  in  bits  11-15  (five 
bits).  In  the  above  example,  the  value  of  hours  is  17  (5 
pm),  the  value  of  minutes  is  32,  and  the  value  of  seconds 
is  8,  translating  to  16  seconds  (17:32:16). 

1  wrote  TIME.S,  the  assembly  language  source  file  in 
Listing  1,  to  read,  decode  and  store  the  GEMDOS  time. 
It  was  assembled  using  DRI'S  AS68,  on  an  upgraded  one- 
megabyte  520ST. 

Here  is  what  this  program  is  doing: 

Line  1— save  assembly  language  routine  address  in  Al. 

Line  2— push  GEMDOS  function  call  number  on  stack 

Line  3 — execute  function  call 

Line  4 — repair  stack 

Line  5 — move  time  bit  pattern  to  Dl 

Line  6 — keep  bits  representing  seconds,  set  everything 
else  to  zeroes 

Line  7 — multiply  number  of  seconds  by  2 

Line  8 — save  bit  pattern  representing  seconds  in  mem- 
ory, in  the  first  word  immediately  following  the  assem- 
bly language  routine 


Line  9^shift  bit  pattern  5  positions  to  the  right,  trun- 
cating bits  representing  seconds,  shift  zeroes  into  high- 
order  bits 

Line  10 — move  resulting  bit  pattern,  representing 
minutes  and  hours  into  the  second  word  in  memory,  fol- 
lowing the  assembly  language  routine 

Line  11 — keep  bits  representing  minutes,  set  everything 
else  to  zeroes 

Line  12 — shift  bit  pattern  6  positions  to  the  right,  trun- 
cating bits  representing  minutes,  shift  zeroes  into  high  or- 
der bits 

Line  13 — move  resulting  bit  pattern,  representing  now 
only  the  number  of  hours,  into  the  third  available  word 
in  memory. 

Line  14 — return  control  to  the  program  that  issued  the 
CALL. 

That  was  the  assembly  language  part.  Now  comes  the 
BASIC  program  in  Listing  2.  This  will  create  an  integer 
array,  consisting  of  the  opcodes  output  by  the  assembler, 
found  in  the  data  statements.  The  0th  element  of  the  array 
will  contain  the  address  of  the  machine  language  program, 
elements  21,22  and  23  the  seconds,  minutes  and  hours. 
The  program  will  read  the  address  in  element  0,  then 
CALL  the  machine  language  routine,  create  a  nice  string 
containing  the  time  data  and  output  it. 

If  you  intend  to  use  this  BASIC  program  as  a  subroutine 
in  your  own  programs,  move  line  1040  to  the  initializa- 
tion module  of  your  own  program,  delete  lines  1060-1080, 
1320-1330  and  all  the  REMarks,  especially  the  one  in  line 
1400. 

This  is  not  the  only,  probably  not  even  the  best  way 
to  access  the  system  clock  from  ST  BASIC.  But  it's  simple, 
short,  fast  enough  (for  ST  BASIC)  and  it  can  get  the  job 
done,  until  a  better  BASIC  comes  along. 

USING  GFA  BASIC 

Sometimes,  you  have  to  do  radically  different  things  to 
get  the  same  job  done  in  another  version  of  the  same  lan- 
guage. Take,  for  example,  GFA  BASIC.  Here,  no  machine 
language  help  is  needed.  GFA  gives  almost  full  access  to 
the  complete  power  of  your  Atari  ST. 

Examine  Listings.  This  is  the  same  program,  written 
in  GFA  BASIC,  but  also  show  how  to  set  the  time  and  date 
as  well  as  access  them.  Of  course,  getting  the  Time  and 
Date  from  GFA  is  as  easy  as  stating:  T$=TIMES,  or 
D$  =  DATES.  Actually  setting  the  time,  however,  is  a  bit 
more  involved.  Let's  investigate  how  this  is  done.

ANTIC,  The  Atari  Resource 


This  routine  first  allows  the  user  to  type  in  the  date  in 
the  typical  format  used  in  North  America,  MM/DDA'TYY. 
The  interesting  line  here  is: 

Let  Datem%  =(Year * 512)  +  (Month* 32)  +  (Day). 

After  we've  determined  we  have  the  proper  numbers  for 
the  year,  month  and  day  we  use  multiplication  to  "left- 
shift"  the  bit-patterns  for  the  date  numbers  into  their 
proper  positions,  and  then  add  them  together  into  a  sin- 
gle, four-byte  long  number,  suitable  for  passing  to  the 
proper  Genidos()  routine. 

Handle_d_key 

This  procedure  will  collect  keystrokes  into  the  format 
of  the  date  we  want. 
Get_the_time 

The  routine  operates  in  essentially  the  same  manner  as 
the  date  routine.  The  proper  digits  are  collected  into  a 
string,  which  is  then  taken  apart  to  aquire  the  proper  digits 
for  passing  to  the  Gemdos  routine  to  set  the  time. 

Finally,  when  the  Time  and  Date  have  been  grabbed  and 
set,  the  programs  returns  to  the  top,  where  a  small  Alert 
Box  is  built  up  out  of  the  current  TimeS  and  Date$ ,  and 
the  results  are  reported.  And  that's  all  there  is  to  it!  I  hope 
these  simple  BASIC  routines  can  help  you  read  your  ST's 
internal  clock,  and  that  I've  come  to  your  aid — in  time.

REVIEW 


MasterPlan 


A  scaled-down  version  of  VIP  GEM  with  a  whole  new  feel 


By  MATT  G.  LOVELESS 


I  tend  to  sort  spreadsheets  into  three  categories.  There  are 
the  clumsy  spreadsheets:  those  which  are  either  too  slow 
or  too  "vanilla"  to  bother  with  (I'd  much  rather  punch 
away  at  my  HP-41  calculator).  Then  there  are  the  power- 
user  spreadsheets:  those  which  sport  3000  functions,  a 
manual  the  size  of  a  calculus  textbook,  and  require  a  de- 
gree in  Lotus  to  balance  a  checkbook.  Finally,  there  are 
spreadsheets  like  MasterPlan:  those  which  offer  a 
delightful  blend  of  simplicity,  consistency  and  power. 

MasterPlan  is  a  scaled-down  version  of  Ditek  Inter- 
national's own  VIP  GEM  (reviewed  in  the  Fall  1987  issue 
of  START).  They  took  their  successful  Lotus  1-2-3  clone 
and  trimmed  off  the  fat.  They  removed  macros,  combined 
many  of  the  more  esoteric  functions  and  streamlined  the 
user-interface. 

On  the  surface,  MasterPlan  looks  a  great  deal  like  VIP 
GEM  (see  Figure  1).  The  screen  layout  is  virtually  identi- 
cal and  many  of  MasterPlan's  features  and  operations  will 
be  familiar  to  VIP  users.  However,  MasterPlan  doesn't  really 
feel  like  VIP  GEM,  and  this  is  an  improvement,  since  VIP 
GEM  tries  too  hard  to  maintain  much  of  the  Lotus  1-2-3 
structure  and  layout.  MasterPlan,  on  the  other  hand,  uses 
an  entirely  new  (simplified)  organization,  allowing  quick 
and  easy  access  to  the  most  frequently-used  commands. 
One  great  improvement  over  VIP  GEM:  MasterPlan  oper- 
ates almost  entirely  within  the  GEM  interface,  utilizing  dia- 
log and  file-selector  boxes — the  strange  absence  of  GEM 
features  in  some  of  VIP's  functions  was  one  of  my  biggest 
complaints  about  the  product. 

However,  the  underlying  guts  of  the  program  are  es- 
sentially VIP  GEM,  which  is  also  good.  MasterPlan  oper- 
ates with  a  powerful  and  accurate  math  package,  support- 
ing all  of  VIP's  functions  and  operators  (hence,  1-2-3 's 
also).  These  include  a  full  array  of  financial,  logical, 
trigonometric  and  statistical  functions  as  well  as  date  oper- 
ations and  lookup  tables.  As  an  added  bonus,  MasterPlan 
will  read  Lotus  and  VIP  .WKS  worksheet  files  (ignoring 
any  macros). 


Although  MasterPlan  is  no  speed  demon  when  it  comes 
to  scrolling,  moving  around  the  spreadsheet  is  nonethe- 
less quick  and  effortless  (with  either  the  keyboard  or 
mouse)  once  you  become  skilled  at  using  the  scroll  bars, 
tab  buttons  and  express  arrows.  Also,  you  need  do  very 
little  mode  switching  from  mouse  to  keyboard^you  can 
access  nearly  all  of  MasterPlan's  functionality  from  either 

Range  and  cell  specification  is  also  simple.  You  can  ei- 
ther select  a  range  with  the  mouse  or  the  keyboard  and 
have  it  entered  automatically  into  your  formulas,  or  you

can  merely  type  in  the  individual  cell  or  range  of  cells 
manually.  You  can  even  label  cell  ranges  and  refer  to  them 
by  name  whenever  you  want  to  use  them. 

Like  VIP  GEM,  you  access  MasterPlan's  command  struc- 
ture through  the  GEM  drop-down  menus.  If  you  make 
a  selection  that  brings  you  into  a  sub-menu,  the  current 
menu  bar  is  replaced  with  a  new  set  of  selections.  In  most 
cases,  this  is  a  straightforward  operation.  However,  since 
all  the  menus  look  familiar,  it's  easy  to  get  lost  down  one 
or  two  levels.  To  add  to  the  confusion,  the  menus  often 
change  to  reflect  the  widest  range  of  options — sometimes

removing  some  of  the  "roadsigns"  that  might  otherwise 
indicate  your  location.  However,  this  is  only  a  minor  com- 
plaint. After  a  day  or  two  of  use,  you  easily  adapt  to  it. 
You  can  also  branch  through  the  menus  with  the  key- 
board. This  is  good  for  quick  operations  when  you  don't 
want  to  reach  across  the  desk  for  the  mouse.  Unfor- 
tunately, one  of  the  few  bugs  I  found  in  the  program  in- 
advertently locks-out  certain  menu  selections. 

MasterPlan's  graphing  facility  is  virtually  identical  to  VIP 
gem's.  MasterPlan  supports  bar  charts,  line  graphs  and 
pie  graphs.  Graphing  data  can  be  as  simple  as  specifying 
a  range  and  requesting  a  chart  type.  The  chart  appears 
in  a  GEM  window  which  can  then  be  moved  around  the 
screen  and  can  be  left  open  while  you  operate  on  the 
spreadsheet  (see  Figure  1).  You  can  change  the  titles  on 
the  graph  and  graph  up  to  six  sets  of  data  simultaneously. 
MasterPlan  will  also  use  the  built-in  ST  screendump  facil- 
ity, or  else  save  the  graph  as  a  DEGAS  .PI2  or  .PI3  (medium- 
res  color  or  high-res  monochrome). 

MasterPlan's  manual  is  a  subset  of  the  VIP  GEM  man- 
ual. However,  it  has  gone  through  a  major  revision:  the 
large  but  terse  VIP  tome  has  been  scalpeled  down  (by 
nearly  100  pages)  to  a  friendly  and  easy-to-read  instruc- 
tion manual.  The  paragraphs  are  smaller,  the  sentences 
shorter,  the  construction  clearer.  Overall,  the  manual  is 
better  oi^anized  and  much  easier  to  read.  However,  it  still 
has  some  sore  spots.  At  times  the  manual  can  be  vague, 
using  weak  verbs  and  unidentified  pronouns,  and  the 
writers  have  a  nasty  habit  of  renaming  the  keys  on  the 
ST  keyboard — for  example,  the  [Insert]  key  is  called  the 
[end]  key  and  [Shift] [Undo]  becomes  [break].  Strange. 

MasterPlan  is  not  copy-protected  and  comes  on  a  single- 
sided  diskette.  The  disk  contains  the  MasterPlan  program 
and  a  UTIL  folder,  both  of  which  you  can  easily  trans- 
plant to  a  hard  disk.  It  will  run  in  both  color  and  mono- 
chrome, and  it  will  operate  with  512K  or  more  memory. 
The  manual  comes  laser-printed  and  spiral  bound  (it  lies 
flat!).  The  only  thing  missing  is  a  sampling  of  already 
created  spreadsheets. 

At  $129.95,  MasterPlan  may  be  a  bit  expensive,  but  there 
is  a  phrase  that  says,  "benefits  sell,  not  features."  This  prod- 
uct is  loaded  with  benefits.  Buy  it.  ■

TYPING  SPECIAL  ATARI  CHARACTERS 64 

HOW  TO  USE  TYPO  II 65 

DISK  SUBSCRIBERS:  Programs  for  8-bit  Atari  computers  can  be  used  immediately.  Just  follow  instructions  in  the  accompanying 
magazine  articles.  ST  Owners:  See  monthly  disk's  ST  Help  File  for  in.structions  on  how  to  transfer  programs  to  3-1/2  inch  disk. 

DOS  COMPATIBILITY:  All  8-bit  programs  published  by  Antic  are  tested  to  work  with  Atari  Disk  Operating  System  (DOS)  2. OS  and 
2.S—not  with  the  incompatible  DOS  3.0.  DOS  2. OS  is  available  on  each  Antic  Monthly  Disk.  Copy  the  DOS.SYS  and  DUP.SYS  files. 

No  part  of  this  pubhcation  may  be  reproduced,  stored  in  a  retrieval  system,  or  transmitted,  in  any  form  or  by  any  means,  electron- 
ic, mechanical,  photocopying,  recording  or  otherwise,  without  the  prior  written  permission  of  the  publisher.

TYPING  SPECIAL 
ATARI  CHARACTERS 

Antic  printed  program  listings  leave  a  small  space  between  each  Atari  Special  Character  for  easier  reading.  Im- 
mediately below  you  will  see  the  way  Antic  prints  all  the  standard  Atari  letters  and  numbers,  in  upper  and  lower 
case,  in  normal  and  inverse  video.

Whenever  the  CONTROL  key  (CTRL  on  the  400/800)  or  SHIFT  key  is  used,  hold  it  down  while  you  press  the 
next  key.  Whenever  the  ESC  key  is  pressed,  release  it  before  you  type  the  next  key. 

Turn  on  inverse  video  by  pressing  the  Reverse  Video  Mode  Key  1^9  .  Turn  it  off  by  pressing  it  a  second  time. 
(On  the  400/800,  use  the  Atari  Logo  Key^  instead.) 

Among  the  most  common  program  typing  mistakes  are  switching  certain  capital  letters  with  their  lower-case 
counterparts — you  need  to  look  especially  carefully  at  P,  X,  O  and  0  (zero). 

Some  of  Atari  Special  Characters  are  not  easy  to  tell  apart  from  standard  alpha-numeric  characters.  Usually  the 
Special  Characters  will  be  boxed.  Compare  the  two  sets  of  characters  below:

HOW  TO  USE  TYPO  II  (8-BIT) 


TYPO  II  automatically  proofreads  Antic's  type-in  BASIC  listings  for  8-bit  Atari  computers.  It  finds  the  exact  line 
where  you  made  a  program  typing  mistake. 

Type  in  TYPO  II  and  SAVE  a  copy  to  disk  or  cassette.  Now  type  GOTO  32000.  When  you  see  the  instruction  on 
the  screen,  type  in  a  single  program  line  without  the  two-letter  TYPO  II  code  at  the  left  of  the  line  number 
Press  the  [RETURN]  key. 

Your  line  will  reappear  at  the  bottom  of  the  screen  with  a  two-letter  TYPO  II  code  on  the  left.  If  this  code  is  not 
exactly  the  same  as  the  line  code  printed  in  the  magazine,  you  mistyped  something  in  that  line. 

To  call  back  any  line  previously  typed,  type  an  asterisk  [  *  ]  followed  (without  in-between  spaces)  by  the  line  number, 
then  press  [RETURN].  When  the  complete  line  appears  at  the  top  of  the  screen,  press  [RETURN]  again.  This  is  also 
the  way  you  use  TYPO  II  to  proofread  itself. 

To  LIST  your  program,  press  [BREAK]  and  type  LIST.  To  return  to  TYPO  II,  type  GOTO  32000. 

To  remove  TYPO  II  from  your  program,  type  LIST  "D:FILENAME",0,31999  [RETURN]  (Cassette  owners  LIST  "C:). 
Type  NEW,  then  ENTER  "D:FILENAME"[RETURN](Cassette— ENTER  "C:).  Your  program  is  now  in  memory  without 
TYPO  II  and  you  can  SAVE  or  LIST  it  to  disk  or  cassette.

XL  MEMORY  EATER 

Want  to  watch  your  Atari  800XL  eaf  memory? 
Type  in: 

10  IF  PEEK(53279)<>7  THEN  END 
20  SAVE  "DJUNK.BAS" 
30  SAVE  "S:" 
40  ?  :?  :?  FRE{0) 
50  RUN  "DJUNK.BAS" 

This  short  program  by  Antit  Technical  Editor 
Charles  Jackson  demonstrates  a  little-known  prob- 
lem thot  readers  regulariy  ask  us  about.  The  oper- 
ating system  (OS)  built  into  XL  computer  models 
odds  16  "garbage"  bytes  to  the  end  of  your  Atari 
BASIC  program  every  time  you  SAVE  it  to  disk  or 
cassette. 
Vifhen  you  RUN  this  program,  it  will  SAVE  itself 
to  disk  over  and  over  again.  Each  time  the  pro- 
gram SAVEs  itself,  it  displays  the  amount  of  avail- 
able memory  bytes.  Notice  that  this  value 
decreases  by  16  each  time  around. 

Line  30  lets  you  see  these  extra  bytes  for  yourself. 
The  SAVE  "S"  command  tells  your  Atari  to  SAVE  your 
program  fo  the  S:-Screen  device.  In  other  words,  the 
tokenized  version  of  your  program  is  displayed  onscreen 
each  time  it  is  SAVEd.  You  can  actually  watch  it  grow 
and  grow.  Hold  down  any  console  key  to  stop  the 
program. 

This  program  will  eventually  fill  your  disk  (and  prob- 
ably crash  it,  too).  So  you  should  RUN  it  on  a  "scratch" 
disk  that  doesn't  contain  other  material  you  might  wont 
to  keep. 

If  you're  editing  a  standard  BASIC  program  on  on 
Atari  XL,  remember  that  16  "gari}age"  bytes  will  be 
added  to  your  program  each  time  you  SAVE  it.  But  for- 
tunately, you  con  remove  these  bytes  from  your  pro- 
gram in  four  steps! 
Here's  the  cure: 

1.  LIST  your  program  to  disk. 

2.  Type  NEV/. 

3.  ENTER  your  program  back  into  the  computer. 

4.  SAVE  it  bock  to  disk.  The  "goriiage" 
bytes  have  been  removed.

DOS  CHECKUP 

William  Ho  of  Calgary,  Alberta,  Canada 
sent  us  this  simple  routine  that  lets  you 
check  which  version  of  Atari  DOS  is 
active: 

10  IF  PEEK(1995)=170  THEN  ?"DOS  2.0s" 
20  IF  PEEK(1995)=100  THEN  ?"DOS  2.5" 
30  IF  PEEK(1995)=29  THEN  ?"DOS  3.0" 

And  to  check  which  version  of  Atari 
BASIC  you  have,  type: 
PRINT  PEEK(43234)

ANOTHER  XL  RAMDISK 

Here 's  bow  to  create  a  101 -sector  RAMdisk  while 
working  in  BASIC  on  your  800XL.  This  tip  has 
appeared  in  several  users  group  newsletters,  in- 
cluding the  April,  1987  the  Northwest  Phoenix  (Ar- 
izona) Atari  Connection's  Between  Bytes. 

ms  method  is  different  from  the  January,  1987 
RAMdisk  Tich  Tip  which  is  written  to  your  DOS 
2.5  disk  as  an  AUTORUN. SYS  file.  The  following 
steps  for  this  101-sector  RAMdisk  must  be  repeated 
whenever  you  want  to  use  it: 

1.  Boot  your  800XL  ivith  a  DOS  2.5  disk 

containing  RAMDISK.COM. 

2.  Type  POKE  1802,PEEK(1802)+128 
and  press  [RETURN]. 

3.  Type  DOS  and  press  [RETURN]. . 

4.  Press  [L]  and  [RETURN].  Ijpe 

RAMD1SK.COM  and  press  [RETURN]. 

5.  Press  the  folloiving:  [1]  [RETURN]  [8] 

[RETURN]  [y]  [RETURN]. 

6.  Press  the  following:  [H]  [RETURN]  [8] 

[RETURN]  [Y]  [RETURN]. 

7.  Press  [D]  and  [RETURN].  Type  D8: 
DOS  SYS  and  presss    [RETURN]    [Y] 

[RETURN]. 

8  Press  [B]  and  [RETURN]. 

9  Type  POKE  5439,56  and  press  [RETURN]. 
10.  Type  DOS  and  press  [RETURN]. 

You  should  now  see  the  DOS  menu  almost  in- 
stantly. You  can  store  anything  on  drive  8  if  (A.) 
it  fits  and  (B.)you  copy  it  to  a  regular  disk  before 
turning  your  comptder  off 

From  the  DOS  menu,  if  you  press  [N]  and  [RE- 
TURN], MEM.SAV  will  be  created  on  drive  8.

Now  you're  really  in  trouble  said  the  Evil  Wizard, 
"I'm  turning  you  into  a  ball  and  sending  you  into 
mansion  with  over  250  rooms!! 

If  that  sounds 
easy  I'm  telling 
you  it's  not. 
Your  ball  has  got 
a  slow  leak  and 
you'll  need  to 
jump  on  a  pump 
to  pump  yourself 
up,  but  the 
pumps  are  hid- 
den in  only  a 
few  rooms.  Also 
don't  pump  yourself  up  to  much  or  you'll  explode. 

In  the  rooms  you'll  have  to  pick  up  objects  tha^ 
have  been  left  behind,  such  as  crosses,  tins  of  beans,' 
a  Buddha,  and  a  dragon  statue.  At  the  end  of  the 
maze  is  a  spell  book  that  will  turn  you  back  into  a 
human  again.  "Sounds  easy"  you  say  to  the  wizard, 
as  he  laughs  and  says,  "there  is  much  more  in  store 
for  you!"
