›               o=o=o=o=o=›            Editor's Message›› FRANK WALTERS has given us permission› to  include  one  of  his early BASIC› games, DECODE, in our newsletter.  It› runs  from  the  space  bar.  You can› also   copy   the  files  DECODE.BAS,› DECODE.FNT,       DECODE.DAT      and› IDECODE.TXT to another disk that  has› DOS  files   on   it   and   run   it› separately.   Read  the docs with the› "I" selection on this menu.›› Frank  has  also  created  a  special› TextPro macro, OHAUG.MAX  exclusively› for  us.   Using  TextPro  and   this› macro,  you may take any text file on› this or any  other  OHAUG  Newsletter› disk  and  automatically  print it in› 80-column format.  Read the docs with› the  "J" selection on this menu.  The› macro   file,   OHAUG.MAX   and   the› documentation file, JOHAUG.TXT can be› copied from this disk to  a  disk  of› your choice using DOS.›› TOM  ANDREWS  is not idle this month,› either.    He   patched  an  existing› program   to    create    and    send› downloadable    fonts   to   a   STAR› MICRONICS   NX1001   PRINTER.     The› program  should  also work with Epson› and   Epson-compatible   priners  and› Gemini   printers,    as    it    did› originally.  It's ARC'd on  side 2 of› the   disk.    To   use   it,    copy› STARFNT.ARC  and  UNARC.COM to a disk› that has DOS files on it.  Go to  the› DOS  menu  on  that  disk   and   run› UNARC.COM.   Follow  the menu prompts› in UNARC.COM to unarc STARFNT.ARC  to› still  another disk with DOS files on› it.  Read about this program from the› side 1 menu by choosing "K."›› The final installment of my series on› emulators  appears  on  side  2.   It› raises some important issues, and I'd› appreciate  some  feedback  on it.  I› guarantee that I will not  hate  you,› no matter what side of the issues you› happen to support.  That seems like a› kind  of  extreme  statement, doesn't› it?  Well, read the  installment  and› see why I say it.›› I've  included  two  more programs on› this disk which come from our copy of› the  PoolDisk.   On  side one, you'll› find EMPIRE.COM, which is  a  machine› language  game  that  you   copy   to› another  disk  and  run.  You'll also› find the game CLIMBER.BAS on side  1.› On  side  2,  you'll  find KOOKY.BAS,› which is a BASIC game that runs  from› the space bar.›› As  we are getting this disk ready to› mail, we are joined in  the  room  by› the  members  of LIAUG, an "all Atari› products" user group  right  here  on› Long  Island  for  what  will  be the› first   of   four   joint    meetings› scheduled  this year.  We may also be› joined by some  representatives  from› other  NER*US clubs, weather and work› schedules permitting.  Although OHAUG› will remain an exclusively 8-bit user› group,  we  are  going  to  open  our› collective eyes a bit  and  see  what› other  platforms,  particularly Atari› platforms are all about.  We know  we› have  the  best  <G!>, and we welcome› seeing more of the rest.››               o=o=o=o=o=››››
