›               o=o=o=o=o=››            Editor's Message››            by Alan Sharkis›        Editor, OHAUG NEWSLETTER›› On side 1 of  this  issue,  you  will› find a tremendous amount of material.› I wish to thank not  only  those  who› contributed  directly,  but those who› are mentioned in the various articles› and in my newsletter reviews for what› they've   done.     Pay    particular› attention to the minutes of the March› meeting, since it's the first in  the› series of joint meetings with LIAUG. › Although   the   second   such  joint› meeting will take place  before  this› issue  is mailed, it will be too late› to include anything about it here.  A› full  write-up  will  come   in   the› July/August 1997 issue.›› FRANK  WALTERS  has  contributed  two› items  to  this issue.  His Area Code› program, newly revised for  1997  and› easily  revised by YOU, if necessary,› is   included   on   this   side   as› AREACD97.BAS.   You can read about it› with the "I"  selection from the main› menu.   Frank  has  also  written   a› splendid  article about printing with› TextPro and you  can  read  that  one› with the "J" selection.›› RON  FETZER  has  taken  a   calendar› program  from  the  latest ABBUC disk› and translated  its  directions  into› English  for  you.    This   calendar› program  does  not fall victim to the› infamous "Year 2000" bug you've heard› about!   You must have Turbo Basic to› run the program.  To do so, you  must› format  a  disk  with DOS 2.5.  Write› the DOS files to it.  Copy your Turbo› Basic  program  to  it.   Rename  the› Turbo  Basic  proram  on the disk you› made to AUTORUN.SYS.  Then  copy  the› files  CALENDAR.TUR  and CALENDAR.ARB› from side 1 of this  newsletter  disk› to  that  new   disk.    Read   Ron's› instructions from the newsletter main› menu using the "K" selection (you may› (optionally)  also  copy   the   file› KALENDAR.TXT  from  this   newsletter› disk  to  your  new  disk).  If Turbo› Basic is not in your library, it's in› ours!  Ask Harold Pegler about it.›› We  have several new members, but one› stands   out.    He's  RENE  DE  BIE,› otherwise known as  SYSOP*TXG.   Read› about  Rene  and  his extensive Atari› equipment   list   using   the    "L"› selection  from the main menu of side› 1.›› The BASIC program that runs from  the› space bar on Side 1 is DOUBLE6.BAS, a› Backgammon-style   game   from    the› October  1989  issue  of A.N.A.L.O.G.› magazine that we had on our  copy  of› the Pooldisk. ›› On  side  2,  the  BASIC program that› runs   from   the   space   bar    is› HANGMAN.BAS,   from   the   GAMES03_A› ramdisk image in the MISC. section of› our  copy  of  the Pooldisk.  This is› one of the best  HANGMAN  games  I've› ever encountered.›› Additionally,  look for MULTI.BAS and› run   it   from  BASIC.   This  is  a› multiplication drill program with  an› interesting  user  interface.  If you› wish to  copy  MULTI.BAS  to  another› disk,  be  sure  that  you  also copy› MULTI.PIC to  that  disk.   Both  are› needed  to  run  the  program.    The› program  comes from ANTIC Magazine of› June 1990 and again, it  was  on  our› copy of the Pooldisk.››               o=o=o=o=o=››››
