Meeting notes for October 19, 1986 There was a problem with reserving the library room 50 the

meeting place was moved to Chuck R’s house. A flurry of telephone calls averted a total disaster, anda message left at the library provided directions for a few people to the temporary meeting place. Many apologies for the inconvenience!

Because of the heightened interest in the QL due to the new prices, Stoney M brought his QL for a demo. He ran an impressive graphic routine of random ellipses which looked good even on a color tv. The word processor feature was also shown. Since Stoney hasn’t used the data base or the spreadsheet programs too often, they weren't displayed. He also loaded a disassembler he had written in BASIC and began disassembling the QL’s ROM.

group,

A recent call to Doug Dewey revealed that he was

John P demonstrated two programs he had written which involved his other interest, astronomy. The first one requested the month and year of interest and then drew a calendar for that month showing the phase of the moon in the box for each day. The phases are correct for GMT but are accurate to within plus or minus one half a day for places in the USA. Perhaps this will appear in our next library tape offering.

The second program John demonstrated seemed to be valuable as a teaching tooi for consteliations and stars. Menus allowed specific stars or constellations to be requested and a map was drawn with important items labeled. Tabular information could also be requested which gave magnitude, distance, etc.

— مت سے س سسے مسا ام س سسے س مس مس — سے — — —

by Eric Yruegas

I recently had the opportunity to sample a new BBS program for the 2068, called the 5 Tinyboard, written by Randy and Lucy Gordon, of the TS Users from Cincinnati.

It is exactly what the name implies. It has а VERY small message base. 20 messages max., to be exact. But, each messages has a total of 1888 characters, or 25 lines of 49 column text.

TST allows the SysOp (System Operator) to have his own logon message. Upon logon, the caller is asked for his name, and that is it. TST has no provision for any logon password or user checking. Anyone who calls has full access to the system.

Upon enter his name, the caller is shown the MENU. These include, Read messages, Leave message, Chat mode, Time online, and Goodbye.

Read messages:

Here, the user is shown all the messages that are currently present on the BBS. There is no mention that a CTRL-C (CHR$ 3) will stop the scrolling of messages and return the user to the MENU. If the user does read all of the messages, he is returned to the MENU immediately.

Leave message:

This section of the BBS allows the caller to leave a message on the BBS for others to read. There is no provision to edit the message, and when the user sends a CTRL-C to save the file, he is promptly given the boot, or in other words, he is kicked out of the BBS! Not too friendly, if you ask me.

Chat mode:

This allows the user to "chat" online with the SysOp, if the SysOp is available. The users sees "Paging sysop", while at the SysÜp's computer, up to 128 blips are sounded to alert the SysOp. If a key is not pressed, the users is told that "The sysop is not available," and is returned to the MENU. If the SysOp does answer the computer's beckoning, a message is printed telling him who he is chatting with. Now both can chat

“till the cows come home, or until the SysOp presses "NOT" on his keyboard. This send the caller back to the MENU.

Time on:

Here, the BBS calls a routine to read the internal clock and print the elasped time the caller has been online. This is only

for the users information, as the BBS does not kick the user out after a number of minutes have passed, as with some other BBS's. Goodbye:

This will log the caller off of the BBS, and prepare to answer another call.

There is the user menu. If nobody is on the BBS, and the SysOp wants to do something, pressing "NOT" reveals a "SYSOP EDITOR"...

Here, the SysOp can Read messages, Delete messages, Leave messages, Save the message base, and Quit the editor. These are useful to the SysOp, as he can do most of the regular functions without having to logon as a user.

Write to me if you do not know of anyone who has it, as it is a public-domain program. Write to:

THE GAVILAN PRINTER INFORMATION Presented by NAP Here is the information for the all those of you who bought the little $20.00 gem. Note the vendor section (p.2) for a source

4 ы us г د ود‎ ۳ Жасы of supplies for this printer

PRINTER SPECIFICATION DESCRIPTION

The printer mechanism uses a thermal dot matrix replaceable print head, a heat transfer ribbon cartridge and friction feed roller. It is light weight, small in size and low in power consumption.

The unit, with the thermal ribbon cartridge installed, prints on standard single sheet 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper or 8 1/2 inch roll paper. Thermal paper may be used without the ribbon cartridge installed.

Standard character pitch is 10 characters per inch with a maximum of 80 characters per line. Seven languages and a set of block graphic characters are available.

The printer has a built-in software selectable bit image graphics mode. Dot resolution in the graphics mode is 1/144 inch vertical and 1/120 inch horizontal.

PRINTER FUNCTION CODES نت‎ ізі BS (08)H (08)D Back Space t |

BS is effective in incremental print mode only. Back spacing is carried out after the prior data character is printed. It is ignored if no prior print data is found.

1.2 HT (09)H (09)D Hcrizontal Tab

HT moves the head to the next horizontal tab set ‘position. It is ignored if there are no more horizontal tab set positions.

1.3 ҺЕ (0A)H (10)D Line Feed . .

LF advances paper one line space, normally 1/6 inch. LF causes the contents of the printer buffer to be printed before it is excuted.

1.4 VT (08)H (11)D Vertical Tab

VT advances the paper multiple line spaces (dependent on line feed pitch setting) to the next vertical tab set. If no tab set is found, it causes an advance to the next top-of-form. VT causes the contents of the printer buffer to be printed before it is excuted.

1.5 FF (0C)H (12)D Form Feed

FF advances the paper to the next top-of-form. It causes the contents of the printer buffer to be printed before it is executed. Top-of-form to the next top-of-form is defined as 11 inches independent of the line feed pitch setting.

1.6 CR (O02)H (12;D Carriage Return

CR moves the head to the margin in incremental or unidirectional mode. CR causes the contents of the printer buffer to be printed before it is excuted.

: ӘСІ (11)H (17)D Device Control 1 DCl places the printer in the SELECT state. The printer assumes DESELECT state at power on.

1.8 DC3 (|-3)H (19)D Device Control 3

DC3 places the printer in the DESELECT state after the contents of tne printer buffer are printed. Power may be turned OFF to the printer mechanism and its electronics after the SELECT signal from the printer electronics goes LOW. All characters sent while the printer is in the DESELECT state are acknowledged and ignored until a DCl is sent to the printer.

159 CAN (.8)h (24)D Cancel

CAN cancels the print data received prior to this code and within the same line as this code. This code is ignored in incremental mode. Any control code or print mode in effect prior to the CAN 26:31 5 valid.

2.0 SPECIAL FUNCTION CODES 2.1 Character Pitch

Character pitch is the number of characters per inch in a line of pr:zt. The printer has two basic pitches: Pica (10 CPI) and Eloncated Pica (5 CPI). Тһе printer assumes Pica pitch at power on.

ESC P [1B 50j]H [27 80]D lOCPI ESC E [lB 45]H [27 69]D 5CPI 2.2 Line Feed Pitch |

The number of lines printed per inch in the vertical direction can be set by Escape code sequences. The line feed amount can be set to 1/6 inch or n/144 inch (where n is a two digit number between 00 and 99 decimal). Line feed pitch remains effective unt:1 changed by another command. Тһе printer assumes a 1/6 inch lire feed at power on. 1۶ the Escape code sequence to set the line feed pitch occurs in the middle of a line, it will become effective at the next LF code received.

ESC 6 [1b 36]h [27 54]D 1/6" line feed

ESC T nlnO [1B 54 (nl) (n0O)]H n/144" line feed (27 84 nln0]D

23 Underline

An underline Scape code sequence causes subsequent characters to 5e underlined until a stop underline Escape code Sequence is received. All characters (including spaces) between the Start and stop codes will be continuously underlined. The printer assumes no underline state at power on.

ESC U [1B 55jH [27 85 Start underline ESC u [1B 75]H [27 117]D Stop underline For example the entry:

This is an ESC U example of underlining ESC u a sentence.

will print as: This is an example of underlining within а sentence.

2.4 Tab Set/Clear

As many as 8 horizontal and 8 vertical tabs may be set at ome time. The horizontal tab command, HT (09), causes the print head to move to the next horizontal tab set. The printer ignores a horizontal tab command if no tabs are set or if the head is beyond the last tab set. Tabs may be cleared selectively or entirely. No horizontal tabs are set when the printer is powered on.

The vertical tab command, VT (0B)H or (11)D, causes the paper to advance to the next vertical tab set. The paper advances to the next top-of-form if no vertical tabs are set or the paper has advanced beyond the last tab set. Vertical tabs may be cleared selectively or entirely. No vertical tabs are set when the printer is powered on.

ESC H a,b,c,...,n. [1B 48]H [27 72]D Horizontal tab set ESC h а,Ь,с,...,п. [1B 68]H [27 104]D Horizontal tab clear

ESC h c [1B 68 63]H [27 104 99]D Clear all hor. tabs

ESC V а,Б,с,...,п. [1B 56]H [27 86]D Vertical tab set ESC v a,b,c,...,n. [18 7618 [27 118]D Vertical tab clear

ESC v c [1B 76 63]H [27 118 99]D Clear all ver. tabs

а,Ь,с,...,п are all 2 digit decimal numbers expressed in ASCII.

The numbers must be separated by a comma and terminated with a period. For example, to set horizontal tabs in columns 8, 20 and 40, the command would be 'ESC H 08,20,40.' [1B 48 30 38 2C 32 30 2C 34 30 2E]H. The spaces shown in the above example are for appearance only and should not be sent to the printer.

2:5 Incremental/Buffer Mode

The printer prints each character as it is received in incremental mode. A carriage return causes the print head to move to the left margin. In buffer mode, characters are stored in a buffer until a print command (e.g., a carriage return) is received or an entire line is received without a print command. In buffer mode, the printer may print either uni- or bi- directional. Buffer mode is assumed at power cn.

ESC ۲ (1B 58]H [27 91]D Incremental mode ESC ] (1B SD]H [27 93]D Buffer mode 2.6 Uni-Bi-directional

The automatic selection of bi-directional printing when thermal paper with no ribbon is being used, may be overridden. This would normally be done in the graphics mode. Selecting bi- directional printing with the ribbon installed is ignored.

ESC د‎ [1B 3E]H [27 62]D Uni-directional ESC < [1B SD]H [27 93]D Bi-directional 2.7 Bit Image Graphics 7

The printer has a graphics capability which enables the user to specify which wires of the print head are to be fired in any dot position. Bit image graphics and character mode may not be mixed in the same line. Line feed pitch should be set to 16/144 inch for full page high resolution graphics.

ESC G n2nlnO [IB 47 (n2) (nl) (n0)]H (27 71 2

This is a five byte command which sets up the bit image graphics mode. The three bytes, n2nln0, are the ASCII representation of the number of dot positions (horizontally) to be printed, the command would be ESC G 200 )]18 47 32 30 30]H or (27 71 50 48 48]D). This five byte command would then be followed by 200 two byte sequences, with each sequence of two bytes controlling one dot position. The first byte in each Sequence controls the top eight wires cf the print head. Bitl of the first byte drives the top wire, bit 2 drives the second wire, etc. The second byte of each sequence controls the bottom eight wires. Bit 1 of the second byte drives the ninth wire, bit 2 drives the tenth wire, etc.

Horizontal resolution is 1/120 inch with a maximum of 960 dots per line. Vertical resolution is 1/144 inch.
