The monthly meeting was held at the home of Harvey Rait in Valley Stream. Correspondence received was read and acknowledged.

A vote was passed to buy Pets Fisher’s excellent munications Handbook, for out meetings and for our library.

Martin Helfegott reported on the Ες

several of Telecom- resale at standing

show he attended last month at the Javitt's Center in WNYC. He also advised us that Read Adm. Ret. Grace

Hopper will lecture on Oct. 9 at Hofstra Univ., [ος For anyone interested in the history of computers and developments, she is without a doubt the expert on the subjects, and is an extremely interesting and entertaining spokeswoman.

Stoney McMurray gave a talk on QL

SuperBAsIC functions that reduce confusing loops and GOTOs. DEFine PROCedure was shown to be an invaluable tool in programming. Kudos to Stoney for a well presented subject.

Two new members attended and ve welcome them into our fold. Most members in attendance purchased the new LIST tape #8 which is now available. For those of you who

cannot attend meetings the tape is available by mail. Send $3.00 to Harvey Rait, 5 Feri Lane, Valley Stream, NY 11581 and he will mail it to you. Program contributions are always appreciated in order to start the next tape.

Dur editor, Joe Newman of Sales, will attempt to discount price on

Editor's Editorial

Silly typefonts, lateness, free ads- are these problems for our newsletter? I will admit that lateness is what can ruin a newsletter or other periodical.

When people pay for a magazine, they expect to receive it each month, or they cancel their subscriptions. I know the first two issues of LISTing which I have edited have come out late. I also intend to do something about it...get the newsletter out on time. Of course you must realize that I cannot guarantee that the newsletter will always arrive at your house on the same date. As the previous newsletter producers know, making the newsletter is not as easy as one may at first think. Face it- if this was an easy job with no demands on the editors time for other work, LIST would have πο trouble finding and retaining an editor!

monthly

this is

Now for silly typefonts-

explained below in the letters section. In brief- I had to use the typefonts in the last issue due to a now solved problem with my Quill Columnizer. No more unreadable 'silly' typefonts!

And finally- the ‘free ads’. Some of

you may have noticed that fellow LIST member John Pazmino had a two page listing of used products for sale in the last issue. When I agreed to print this listing, I didn't even think of it as being a 'free two page ad'. John is not a TS dealer- he is 8 fellow user and supporter of> TS equipment. He presented a list of fine PREVIOUSLY OWNED TS products which he was selling off cheap. These are all one up items which John bought for himself in the past. After seeing the items tand prices} John was offering I felt I would be doing fellow LIST members a great service tc

print John's list. I personally know for fact that some of you got great deals on some items...should I have NOT printed the list? If not, yo

either would not have the items ΟἹ would have paid more. So these 'free' ads have actually made YOU money! Anc as editor of LISTing I am willing tc print any product offers LISTinc members wish to have printed. This is a service to YOU. .please take advantage of it! Instead of lettin that old Memotech collect spider':

Page 1 Ἢ

2995, SELL IT through LISlIing to someone who can use it!

And finally- the Variety Sales ads. These are my ads. in case you don’t know, I run Variety Sales. My motto is 'I support what I sell'. I think I am justified in putting an ad for

myself in LISTing after putting in the time and energy to put together this newlsetter and keep it coming. And if you have been reading the Newsnotes, you will see I do not bias against other dealers- if they wish to say something in LISTing, I'11 print it. Quantum Computing is in the same state

LETTERS Dear Editor:

i just received the August '57 issue oí out Newsletter. Page 2 (Newsletter Notes? has a few remarks by you on J4Jonn F.'s icis that Pazmino? I think I recognize his distinctive style!) Cyes- ed.1 article on BASICODE. Some oí your remarks require corrections.

Finally Joe, I think that you are doing a fine job as our new editor and hope that you will be able to continue even after the summer months!

But I have one gripe and it is a serious one! Could you possibly stop using those silly typefonts, used in page 2 thru 4 of the August issue??? I find them very difficult to read.

Respectfully, Cedric R. Bastiaans

*Cedric:

Thank you for the nice comments about my editing job! And last thing first, I'm not using those 'silly' typefonts anymore! I had a problem with my Guill Columnizer last issue, and that is why I has to resort to that other typestyle. I understand that it was hard to read. AS the person who types in all this stuff, by the time it was

set up in the silly font I knew what everything said, so it wasn’t hard for

ne to read! I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Now, as for my ‘notions’. The information about BAS ICODE was

provided to me by John P. The notions were his, not mine. I should have put

quotes around his comments! Thanks for the corrections. As for our CAmericans’ ) problems with foreign

Not wanting to sound down on Cedric, I thankful that he took the time to explain the above procedures. I asked for comments, and' I got them. Remember, if you Rave any kinds of suggestions or comments, send them in! 1 do care. And if I don't, 11:1 usually explain why! Thanks again Cedric, especially for the program which is elsewhere in this issue. It Came Just in time. I do appreciate the ready... YEs T does Save Me Much tT Me and trouble.

Q LINE Review Frogram: G LINE

Manufacturer: Meta Media Productions Frogram Author: Harvey Taylor

Cost: $19.95 + $2.00 shipping Address: 726 West 17th, Vancouver, B.C., CANADA, ος 1T3

For some time I have looked for a good terminal program for the QL that included XMODEM. I have tried one other program that had XMODEM but with unfavorable results. @ LINE is not only GOOD and well though-out, but it actually workst!

The features are:

Menu or quick-key access to commands ΧΗΠΠΕΗ or ASCII twith XON/XOFF) file transfers ΄ Built in within comm Alterable SER device on-the-fly Text in buffer is MARKable for selective uses Configurable Modem commands Auto-dial and re-dial through modem commands 9 20 user-configurable MACRO commands 40 phone number storage Multitaskable NO COPY PROTECTION

EDITOR accessible from

major drawback of the QL is I shudder whenever I look at the schematic of that section! The task is handled by two LSI chips already burdened with other functions. The recieve part of the serial section is handled by an 8749 uC, which also handled the keyboard scanning. In fact, there,is only ONE RECEIVE FORT! This port is shared via multiplexing the handshaking signals

The one its serial ports.

for the two ports. This has really Caused pregrammers grief trying to writs a good telecomm program....

Harvey Taylor’s solution...

Q LINK is an excellent solution to the GL's telecomm dilemma. Using the MODAFTER PLUS at 300 baud worked well, as expected. The MODAPTER PLUS at 1200, however, was a flop! I then wired up a cable, as described by Harvey in his very good manual, and 1200 baud then worked. I used this cable for the remainder of my observations in this review.

BACKED UP THE my signons, BES commands for my

Following the manual I COFY, and then added numbers, and modem

Hayes compatable ADC modem, to the copy of @ LINE. I dialed up a local EBS (MicroLink? at 1200 baud, and performed my 'normal' activites

without loss of characters or garbage. So far, so good. Command access in this program is GREAT! While learning to ‘get around’ you can use the quick—

key method that exists for most commands (i.e. <CNTRL> + <SHFT> + <15> sends a file via XMODEM) . Both

methods co-exist so you can still use MENUS in little used aread that you might forget a month from now.

XMODEM

Since this is the part of the program I'm most interested in, I spent a lot

of time with it. While in the local BBS I downloaded a small file via XMODEM at 1200 baud. It worked beautifully! Next, I warmed up my trusty CFM+ based machine and hooked up the QL directly. On the CPM+t machine I use IMP CImproved Modem

of the latest I did zZA4AOO,

Program), which is one public domain XMODEM programs. a series of xfers at 300, 1200,

and 9600 baud via XMODEM AND ASCII xfer. The results surprised me! ASCII xfers worked in both directions

at all speeds with only an occasional dropping of characters at 3600.

Adding a small time delay after LF on the host (CPM machine?) cleared that up! XMODEM xfers worked in both

Fage 4

directions and at all speeds except It sure is nice «fering a file via XMODEM at z400! The only problem I did notice vas if the GQL’s serial buffer overflows you'll get incomplete messages from the host. This was mentioned in the manual and the only way out is... RESET.

EDITOR

The built-in editor is used to manipulate the text buffer in the program. Although it doesn't have ALL the features, it does the needed job.

The only thing that confused me at first was the MARE function. The manual just stated what it did, but now how to use it. To use, simply position the cursor ta the start of the block to be marked and execute

ΞΟΝΤΗΙ Σ «55 Cor go through the menus}, then position the curser to the end of the block to be marked and execute ZCNTRL» <E> Cor go through the menus). Now you can use any block oriented command such as PRINT or DELETE to manipulate the marked block. It would be nice to see a visual change in the MARKed block, such as a change in the text color, so that I can easily SEE the block that is marked, HARVEY?? Frinting the buffer is straight- forward although your printer must be set up to execute a CR when it receives a LF.

The manual is complete and well written and although the finish is not high quality, the PROGRAM IS! I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about telecomm or inter-computer «fers. It is worth twice the $19.95 that is charged (Harvey, you didn't read that!). —Tim Stoddard

QL HINT- using QUILL

When using the QL Word Processor C"QUILL”), use the IBM print protocal if your printer supports it, instead of the Epson protocal. This allows a more extensive set of printer commands

to be implemented in @uill’s substitweah

table, Which ; limits you to 10 substitutions Cone of which is taken by the uf) n {pound

Fage

sterling symbol? which is not standardized in ASCII).

If anybody knows the hack for enlarging Guill’s substitue table, I’d be grateful for the information.

I altered the BASIC configuration program CINSTALL_BAS), to allow the substitute table to filled for more than 10 characters, and Quill accepted

the results, but ignored these characters after the tenth. -Stoney McMurray

OLIGER DISE SYSTEM REVIEW Froduct: JLO Disk Interface (2068) Price: $129.95 assembled and tested with cable, $160.25 as kit with all parts, cable. Manufacturer: The John Oliger Co. Address: 11601 Whidbey Drive, Cumberland, IN A6229.

I recently purchased the Oliger disk system for my TS 2065 and I love it. Although it is a little expensive, it is well worth the money. It works with a wide variety of disk drives (IBM FC compatible), is easy to use, and is very fast. Single or double

sided drives with between 190 and 250 tracks Cusually 40 or 80), and a head step rate of ΕΠΙ Cusually), 12ms, zOms, or 30 ms may be used. I

personally use a Tandon 5Ο track, quad density double sided drive with no

problems.

Accessing the disk is simple. LOAD /"name" will load from disk as LOAD “name” will load from cassette. The / is used for most disk commands. Filing types are also used like

cassette (CODE, SCREENS, DATA, LINE). Ex: SAVE /"name" SCREENS. In addition to these types, there are also two more- VAL and ABS. VAL is used to save/ load variables wi thout the program, i.e.- SAVE /"name" VAL. ABS is used to save/load the entire memory of the computer Cabout 45K) so you can

save those many part commercial programs in one shot. You can also VERIFY files or CATalogue a disk, but

there is no MERGE.

The Dliger system has many features.

If you try to save a program with the Same name as a program that is already on the disk, you'll hear a warning beep and see a warning message. At this time, you have 5 seconds to abort (BREAK) or the previous program will be overwritten. To change the name of a file use RESTORE /"oldname"type TO "newname". There is also a way to copy a program from disk to disk or to copy the entire disk. For this feature use MOVE /"name"type TO drive #. To do this, however, you must have 2 disk drives.

The NMI save button also has many functions. You can use it to save an entire program to disk at the touch of a button, or to SAVE a screen to disk, to dump a screen to the selected Printer, to pause a program, or to

break out of a program that you can’t normally get out of. This button is very useful for transferring

commercial programs to disk.

As far as speed, the Oliger system is very fast. A short program loads in less than a second, anda very long program loads in about 4 seconds. Saving takes one or two seconds longer, Formatting, however, may take a while. It takes about 1 minute and 40 seconds to format my high capacity drive (800K). Of course, drives with less capacity will be quicker.

The Oliger ROM has a printer driver built into it which supports the Oliger and Aerco printer interfaces. LFRINT, LLIZST, and COPY are supported as well as a high resolution copy for the Gorilla Banana, Gemini, and Olivetti.

All-in-all, the Oliger system is excellent and worth looking into if you are considering using disk drives. The one thing that really bothers me is the fact that there {5 no ERASE command, although there are ways to get around this for the most part.

NO MORE T.0.P.5

The Timex Of Portugal Systems (TOPS: newsletter is no more. This newsletter was created by Dave Franson out in Wisconsin as support for owners

The reasons for the newsletter

discontinuation were given in a letter by Dave which should have been sent to

all subscribers to TOPS. Subscrobers should have also received their original check, too. It seems that Dave's help for the newsletter suddenly became non-existent, and as Dave said, things were piled up too high for him to do alone and the job turned into a ‘major pain in the butt'.

Dave thanks all of you who supported him and wishes the best to all. His idea was a good one and I'm sure it will be missed by all zebra drive owners. Perhaps someone else can come along and save TOPS? Dave says he will pass along all the information

One section of the newsletter will be written by Mr. Oliger himself, and will cover questions and answers by JLO Disk System owners.

If you're like me you have many more books on the TS2068 than just the User Manual that came with your computer. And maybe you have read everything on User Defined Graphics in these books. Maybe even given it a try but gave up because it was just too much trouble? A11 those binary nuabers to be punched in! Error prone, what?

Well, weep no more, friends. The listing on the right is a program that was inspired by publications of the 2 authors shown in line 1. I combined the good things in their programs, added instructions and a few lines which make the new program run better and be of more help.

I submitted a simpler version to LIST, on tape, in the fora of a contribution to a library tape. It was never included in any of the finalized library tapes and I have no idea what happened to ay contribution' But here then, is the complete listing.

Key it in and RUN. You will be greeted by a brief explanation; follow the proapt. A square is drawn on screen and as you work with it .ou will find that it is an enlarged Bx8 matrix for the creation of a PIXEL MAP. Try the nuaber keys 1 through 8 and notice how easy it is to lay down a black (ink) square or remove it again. Notice that when you have moved the arrow down, additional text appears which gives you instructions how to proceed when you have completed your pixel map. Ignore it for now and make the map shown in FIG. 1.

indication that the UDG has been stored and you will be asked to either modify, copy, quit or do another UDG. I suggest you press Q and try your UDG in actual print by keying in SHIFT 9 (that's the GRAPHICS mode) and then "A" (or if you chose a different character, key in that character). If you keep the key down you'll see that this UDG could make a simple but nice border.

NOTE: If, after trial printing your UDG, you need to modify it, key in GO ΤΟ 100 to get the original pixel map back. After (Clopy, it will be erased and return you to the start of the program.

Now, if you need this UDG 1^ your program, use the following program lines (we'll assume that you have chosen the character "A" for this UDG storage):

1 DATA 129, 66, 34, 24, 24, 34, 56,129 2 RESTORE 1:FOR NzO TO 7: READ D: POKE USR "A" * N, D: NEXT N

Each tiae you use the graphics "A" 1η our program, the large X will be printed.

UDG's may be combined to make much larger graphics. Try the following:

Key in the pixel map shown 1η FIG 2; store "D" Next, key in the map shown in FIG 3; store "0" Then, key in the map shown ın FIG 4; store "K^" Next, key in the map shown in FIG 5; store "S^ Next, key 1n the map shown in FIG 5; store "H" Furthermore, the map shown in FIG 73 store "U* Also, key in the map shown in FIG 8; store "N^ Finally, do the map shown in FIG 9; store "T°

When you have finished this, CLS and enter the following in the direct aode:

PRINT AT 7,10;°D" (ENTER) PRINT AT 7,11; Οἱ (ENTER) PRINT AT 7,12; "K* (ENTER) MOTE: ALL THESE
