ÍESSAGE ÓCROLLER 128
BY ÂOB ÁKERBERG

ÁS A PROGRAMMER, É HAVE WRITTEN LOTS OF PROGRAMS OVER THE YEARS. É WANTED A MESSAGE SCROLLER FOR THE Ã-128 THAT WOULD LOAD FROM ÂASIC AND SCROLL THE MESSAGES OF MY CHOICE ACROSS THE SCREEN. ÉN ALL MY YEARS OF SEARCHING FOR THE "RIGHT" SCROLLER, É NEVER FOUND ONE THAT SUITS MY NEEDS.

ÁFTER TEACHING MYSELF THE FINE ART OF MACHINE LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING, É WROTE MY OWN CUSTOM SCROLLING ROUTINE.  ÍESSAGE ÓCROLLER 128 IS THE RESULT. ÊUST SELECT THE PROGRAM FROM ÍENU 128, ENTER A MESSAGE AT THE PROGRAM, THEN PRESS ÒETURN. ÔHAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT! ÉF YOU INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR OWN PROGRAM, JUST ENTER ÓÙÓ 3072 TO EXECUTE IT.

ÍESSAGE ÓCROLLER 128 ALSO SAVES YOUR MESSAGE TO A FORMATTED WORK DISK. ÊUST FOLLOW THE PROMPTS FOR SAVING THE MESSAGE TO DISK, MAKE CERTAIN THERE'S A FORMATTED WORK DISK IN THE DRIVE, AND ÍESSAGE ÓCROLLER 128 DOES THE REST. ÁFTER ACTIVATING THE PROGRAM, YOU CAN USE THE ÂLOAD COMMAND TO LOAD THE MESSAGE FROM DISK INTO MEMORY AND SCROLL IT BY ENTERING ÓÙÓ 3072.
