›               o=o=o=o=o=››            Editor's Message›› Welcome  to  this  issue,  and to TOM› ANDREWS'  fabulous  revision  of  the› newsletter program!  You can read all› about  it  in  the  "Changes"  column› (Choice  B  on your menu) on side 1. › Tom did a  really  wonderful  job  of› streamlining  the  code,  adding some› long-awaited features  and  restoring› one  that  had  been  missing  for  a› while.  His work inspired me to clean› up the HELP.DOC file,  a  task  which› also was long overdue.›› On Side 1, the program that runs from› the spacebar  is a  musical  cartoon.› The filename is DARKTOWN.BAS.  Please› remember that after you press <START>› from the title screen, you will see a› blue   screen   with   a   list    of› "musicians"  on  it.  Let this screen› just sit there for some time  because› the  program  must  initialize.   The› program  came  from  our  copy of The› Pool Disk.›› You will also find BBKCOPY.COM,  from› ABBUC  MAGAZIN  number 54 on Side 1. › This is a multiple  file  copier  for› Atari  Dos  2.x.  Although the screen› is   pretty   much  self-explanatory,› there   is   one   piece   of   vital› information  you  should  have.  When› you run this program, set the  source› disk  (pressing  <S>  toggles through› drives 1-4 and 8) and the destination› drive  (<D>  works here) before doing› anything   else.    Then  follow  the› directions to bring up the  directory› in the source disk, tag the files you› want and copy away!›› The machine language games, ORBIT.COM› and  EXCHNG.COM  can also be found on› Side 1.  These games  came  from  our› copy of The Pool Disk.›› Side  1  also holds a fine article by› FRANK WALTERS on using the additional› memory  in  expanded  machines   with› TextPro.   Please  check  the  e-mail› address list.  There are some changes› in it.›› On Side 2, the program that runs from› the  spacebar  is  CARTFE.BAS,  which› allows  you  to create simple ATASCII› cartoons and save them.   You  really› should  put  this  program on its own› disk, but it might be fun to try  out› from here.›› Also on Side 2 is a very interesting,› two-player   game.    The   file   is› DOMINION.BAS.   The  DOC  file can be› accessed from the "D" choice  on  the› menu.   Both  DOMINION and CLUES came› from the "treasure" directory of  our› copy of The Pool Disk.›› You  will also find an excellent text› adventure,   "The  Goldmine  and  the› Princess" from the April  1990  issue› of ANTIC MAGAZINE via our copy of The› Pool Disk.  This program consists  of› several  files.   You will need to do› some work to use it.  First, format a› blank  disk,  and  write DOS files to› it.  Then, copy  all  of  the  locked› files  on  side  2 (the ones with the› stars next to them  when  you  get  a› directory  of the side from DOS) onto› that newly prepared  disk.   Finally,› rename AUTORUN.GM on that new disk to› AUTORUN.SYS.  Put  the  new  disk  in› drive 1, and boot it with BASIC.  The› files GOLDMINE.DOC  and  GOLDMINE.D02› are  formatted  for  the  AtariWriter› cartridge.  The file EGLDMINE.TXT can› simply be copied, using  DOS  to  the› screen  or your printer, but can also› b  read  or  printed  from  the  menu› (choice "E".)  I highly suggest doing› either  before  you  play the game so› that you can read  the  documentation› for  an overview and also have it for› reference as you play.  Of course, if› you  have  the actual issue of ANTIC,› that's even better.›› You will also find TRICKY.OBJ on Side› 2.   This  is  a  delightful activity› called  Tric-Toy-Trac.   In  it,  you› construct a  train  track  layout  in› such  a  way  that a little train can› run on it without collisions.  If  it› sounds  easy,  guess again, but it is› fascinating.    The  file  came  from› TWAUG Newsletter disk  007,  via  our› copy of The Pool Disk.››               o=o=o=o=o=››››
