- ) *SHIP'S LOG*, The Beginning (
- +----------------------------------------------------------+
- by Mark Dulski
-
-
- As we enter an era of newer, faster and more costly computers, literally
- hundreds of thousands of computer users around the world are saying ... "So
- what? My Commodore 64 (or 128) does all I need it to!" With the Commodore 8
- bit computers' ease of use, built in Basic programming language, built in DOS,
- and an installed user base worldwide, it's no wonder they instead are saying
- "NO" to more costly alternatives and upgrading their Commodores. Surprisingly
- in England alone, in 1991, over 100,000 brand new Commodore 64's were sold.
- There were over 800,000 C-64 computers sold world wide last year!
-
- For continued product support when looking to upgrade your Commodore
- hardware or software, there are numerous 3rd party hardware and software
- developers for the Commodore 64 and 128. Several of which offer their product
- support here on GEnie, in the Commodore *FLAGSHIP* Roundtable.
-
- To further our online support the Flagship staff has decided to periodi-
- cally produce the *SHIP'S LOG*. It will be a collection of articles on such
- subjects as how to make the best use of the various areas of the *FLAGSHIP*
- Roundtable (which can also be applied to GEnie in general). Highlights of some
- of the best, little known or unique files from the Flagship Software Libraries,
- announcements of upcoming events, and whatever else we think you will find
- useful or interesting.
-
- If you have any comments or suggestions about *SHIP'S LOG* feel free to
- leave email to the FLAGSHIP$, we like to hear what >you< have to say. We may
- even print some of your letters in the next issue of *SHIP'S LOG* so if you do
- not wish to have your name or GEmail address published from your e-mail, please
- tell us.
-
- Sit back and have a good read!

- ) Commodore *FLAGSHIP* Software Libraries (
- +----------------------------------------------------------+
- by Mark Dulski
-
-
- Have you at one time or another promised a certain someone you would
- get them a recipe database, checkbook program or maybe even a video tape log so
- that >they< would have a use for the computer too? Do you have a need for a
- particular type of program but don't really want to spend the money on a
- commercial one? If a commercial one is even available for your needs! Or, do
- you just like checking out a wide variety of programs? Whatever the reason,
- with the thousands of public domain and shareware programs in the *FLAGSHIP*
- Software Libraries, almost any type of program you need can be found online.
- Including the one you promised to that certain someone, way back when. You
- will find some that are very close to commercial quality, at a fraction of the
- cost!
-
- Since all the Roundtable Libraries on GEnie have a $6.00 an hour usage fee,
- what is the best way to get the most for your dollar?
-
-
-
- (*) UPLOADING A FILE (*)
-
- There are no charges while uploading a file! GEnie turns off the billing
- clock for you. Remember the old saying "It's better to give than to receive"?
- In this case it is also cheaper. If you have a Commodore 64 or 128 program you
- found somewhere or one you wrote yourself and would like to literally share it
- with the world, there is no better place for you to put it than in the
- *FLAGSHIP* Libraries. Even if you have never uploaded to the *FLAGSHIP*
- Libraries before it is very easy to do.
-
- The *FLAGSHIP* has its files divided into several libraries according to
- the types of programs each contain. Before you upload a program you must
- decide which library it belongs in and select #8 from the libraries menu to SET
- yourself into that library. Sometimes a program just doesn't seem to fit in
- any one library, but don't worry, just pick the most likely one for your
- program. If it turns out another library would have been better, one of the
- sysops will gladly move it for you.
-
- Once set into the proper library you're ready to tell GEnie you want to
- upload a file, #5 in the Library menu. First you will be asked for the
- filename of your program (easy enough). Next you're asked to give a short
- description of your file. You are only allowed to use 36 characters for this
- description so make them count! After that you'll be entering a longer
- description for your file. This long description can be up to 10 lines long.
- More than enough room for most descriptions. As a courtesy to anyone
- downloading the program, in your last line of the long description state how
- big the file is in disk blocks and whether it's a PRG or SEQ file format.
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
- All text files should be in "straight" ASCII form and not Pet ASCII. When
- you are finished entering the description use the command '*s' just like in
- email or the bulletin boards to send/save your description with GEnie. '*x'
- can be used to exit without saving in case you change your mind and wish to
- start all over.
-
- The last thing you are asked to do is to type in a list of keywords, sep-
- arated by a comma, that describe the type of program you are uploading. So if
- you are uploading an interstellar space shoot-'em-up game that runs in the C128
- 80 column screen you might give a list of keywords like this:
- "space,spaceship,c128,128,vdc,80,80column,arcade,joystick".
-
- All this may seem like an awful lot of typing but don't forget, GEnie has
- your billing clock turned off the whole time!
-
- Now you're ready to tell GEnie what upload protocol you will be using;
- seven bit text, xmodem or xmodem crc. Even if you are uploading a file that
- contains only text do NOT use the "seven bit text" option.
-
- Important: Be sure to wait until GEnie says "READY FOR INPUT", then and
- only then you can begin the upload from your end. Be sure to
- have the right disk in your drive, otherwise a "file not
- found" error could cause your terminal program to abort the
- upload and you'll end up having to start all over from the
- beginning. <egads!>
-
- As soon as the upload is complete you will be asked to press your return
- key. This is just GEnie's way of asking "Are you still there?". Then if the
- upload was not aborted by GEnie or your Terminal program, answer "y" when asked
- if the upload was OK. If you happen to notice that there were frames
- retransmitted or any timeouts this is normal.
-
- Files uploaded to the *FLAGSHIP* Libraries are not released right away.
- Except where noted all files are tested by the Flagship staff to make sure the
- files run correctly. Usually it takes no more than a few days and your file
- will be released for everyone to download and enjoy.
-
-
-
- (*) SEARCHING FOR A FILE (*)
-
- With thousands of files contained in the *FLAGSHIP* Libraries just how are
- you going to find just one in particular? Easy! Remember those keywords that
- are entered when a file is uploaded? Those are the search terms that the GEnie
- system uses to base its search. Now you see why it's important to use
- meaningful keywords when uploading files.
-
- On the Library menu select #3 to bring up the "Enter Search String" prompt.
- Enter a word that describes the type of file you want to download. The next
- two prompts for 'uploader address' and 'number of days' are usually not that
- important so just press your return key at these two. You probably want to
- search through all the files regardless of who the uploader was and want the
- search to start from the latest file numbers.
-
-

-
-
-
-
- Be sure you have your capture buffer open now because there could be
- enough matches found that the list of files could easily scroll up and off your
- screen before you have a chance to make note of them. When all the files are
- found you'll be asked if you wish to search again. To increase the proba-
- bility that all possible files are listed that match the type for which you are
- searching, it's a good idea to have two or three keywords for your search.
-
- Sometimes your search will only turn up a few files but you could very well
- end up with screen full after screen full of files. With only a few files it
- is relatively easy and fast to decide which ones to download. If you end up
- with a whole bunch of possibilities then save yourself some money and sign off
- GEnie to examine your file list offline. Pick out the file(s) you want to
- download then sign back on to download them.
-
-
-
- (*) DOWNLOADING A FILE (*)
-
- So you've turned up some interesting looking files from your search or you
- heard about a file in the *FLAGSHIP* Libraries you just "gotta have". One
- thing you should do before you begin is to make sure you have a blank formated
- disk in your drive! Nothing can waste more time (and $$) or cause more
- frustration than to have a download abort because of insufficient room on your
- disk.
-
- Once you get set up select #6, "Download a file", from the Library menu. If
- you enter just one file number at the "Enter download request..." prompt, the
- long description for that file will be displayed. You then have three options,
- besides <Q>uit to menu, from which to select. The first option is to skip it by
- pressing your return key which will bring up the prompt to enter another file
- number. This is useful if your search for a particular type of file has turned
- up more than one possibility and you just can't decide from the 'brief'
- descriptions which would be best. You can view the long descriptions of each
- to help narrow down the choices.
-
- Another option is to <L>ist a file. This is ONLY useful with text files in
- the libraries. Be sure to have your capture buffer open before you <L>ist the
- file so you can view it offline!
-
- The final option is to <D>ownload the file. Here you will be presented
- with a list of four download protocols; xmodem, xmodem (w/1k blocks), ymodem,
- and zmodem. DO NOT select zmodem since it is not supported on the C64 or
- C-128. Most of the newer terminal programs, such as the Flagship's Wizard
- programs, support xmodem protocol, xmodem (w/1k blocks) and ymodem. If you are
- not sure about your present terminal program then play it safe and use xmodem.
- After you've made your choice GEnie will display how many xmodem blocks you
- can expect to receive and the number of 1-k packets if you selected ymodem or
- xmodem (w/1k blocks).
-
- Important: Wait until you see "File is ready ..." displayed on your screen
- from GEnie before you start the download from your end.

-
-
-
-
- Getting back to the "Enter download request" for a moment, you can enter
- more than one file number separated by commas at this prompt. GEnie will
- assume you will be downloading using either ymodem or zmodem of which you will
- have to select ymodem. Remember, NO zmodem. Only the filenames and total for
- the xmodem blocks and 1-k packets will be displayed, no 'long' descriptions of
- the files. Using ymodem is a fast and easy way to batch download a number of
- files at one time.
-
- If all went well with the download GEnie will inform you of a "Normal
- termination" and you will be asked if you would like to download another file.
- If not, then sign off and have fun examining your new programs!
-
-
-
- (*) TIME $AVING TIP$ (*)
-
- To get a complete description of each Library, download file number 9647.
- Print this list out and use it as a handy offline reference as an aid in
- determining which library to upload a particular file into.
-
- When a search turns up a large number of files save yourself some money and
- examine the list of files offline. You will be less apt to overlook a likely
- candidate file from your search than if you tried to hurriedly view the list
- while online, attempting to keep the connect charges down.
-
- If your terminal program supports it, use ymodem for downloading. After
- initiating the download it's a hands-free operation while the file(s) are
- downloaded to disk.
-
- Prepare your disk drive ahead of time! If uploading, make sure the cor-
- rect disk with the file you are going to upload is in the drive. If down-
- loading, have a blank formatted disk in the drive so there is less chance of
- running out of room on the disk. If you are going to be downloading several
- files, add up the number of bytes for each file (given in both the long and
- short descriptions) to make sure they will all fit on your blank disk. Figure a
- 1571 disk has room for 330,000 bytes and a 1541 disk has room for 165,000
- bytes.
-
- In my experience downloading files is best done after 11:00 PM on any day
- and before 11:00 AM on weekends. Phone usage seems to be lower during those
- times so line noise (which can cause downloading errors) and delays are almost
- non-existent. Everything goes much smoother!
-
- Each Library has an text file that lists all the files that particular
- Library contains up to the date the index was created. To get the file numbers
- of these text files do a search using the keyword "index". Approximately 40
- index files will turn up. Download the ones that interest you and print them
- out as a ready reference. Or, to save yourself the hassle of spending all that
- time downloading and printing those indexes you might consider ....

-
-
- The *FLAGSHIP* is proud to announce the completion of its NEW Commodore
- Flagship Directory! A handy reference every uploader and downloader could use
- to make their time online even more productive and enjoyable when using Wizard
- 64 or 128 with Ymodem. Each library of files is listed in both chronological
- and alpha-numeric order. No more wondering if a file you want to upload has
- already been uploaded by someone else. Save connect charges by doing most of
- your searching for files offline using the File Directory. Just browse through
- the Directory, write down the files of interest, then sign on and download the
- files you want. The Flagship File Directory comes with its own high quality
- 3-ring binder which makes future revisions both easy and inexpensive. Only
- $24.95 plus S&H.
-
- Send personal check or money order to:
- Parsec Inc S&H for US orders: $4
- PO Box 111 S&H for Canadian orders: $8
- Salem MA 01970-0111 Be sure to include your
- U.S.A. GEnie e-mail address!

- ) Wizard Tips (
- +----------------------------------------------------------+
- by Mark Dulski
-
-
- Did you know that all the roundtable libraries on GEnie have a page
- number? That's right, it's not displayed on the library menus but they all
- have them. To determine the page number of a roundtable library just add 1 to
- the page number of the roundtable main entrance menu. The roundtable main
- entrance menu page number must be three digits, not from a GEnie*Basic menu.
-
- For example the *FLAGSHIP* main entrance menu is on page 625. Add one to
- this to get page 626 as the page number of the *FLAGSHIP* Software Libraries.
- By running Wizard's "make-menu" program you could add to your custom menu:
-
- "Search CBM files" 626;3
- "Download CBM file" 626;6
- "Upload CBM file" 626;8 (Must set to Library first before upload)
-
- Use the <MOVE> icon to auto logon, select one of the above from your custom
- menu and you will bypass all the *FLAGSHIP* menus. You move directly to the
- appropriate library function prompt.
-
- Each time you get a file directory list from any of the software libraries,
- GEnie remembers the last file that was listed to you. Wizard takes advantage
- of this by having an auto function under the <AUTO> icon that will log onto
- GEnie and get a list of any new files since the last time. A fast convenient
- way to stay abreast of the newest uploads.

- ) In the Public Domain (
- +----------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
- For this column we would normally be highlighting some of the best or
- newest *FLAGSHIP* files. Instead this month we will explain those, at times,
- cryptic filename extensions you will come across in the *FLAGSHIP* Libraries.
- What they mean and how to deal with them.
-
-
-
- (*) COMMODORE ARCHIVES (*)
-
- Over the years computer programmers have devised countless methods of
- combining several files into one file for ease of transferring over the phone
- lines. Some of the 'archives' offered file compression making the 1 long file
- smaller in size than what the several separate files' total length would be.
- As a matter of policy, out of all the archive methods in use only 3 are
- acceptable for use with uploaded files to the *FLAGSHIP* Libraries;
- "filename.SFX", "filename.SDA" and "filename.ARC"
-
-
- "filename.SFX": From the downloaders standpoint this is the easiest and
- most convenient archive method to dissolve. Just load the
- file into your C64 or C128 and run it. A '.SFX' file senses which computer it
- has been loaded into and will configure itself accordingly for proper writing
- to disk of the separate files contained in the '.SFX' archive.
-
-
- "filename.SDA": Like the '.SFX' archives the '.SDA' is also a self-
- dissolving archive. However, a '.SDA' archive is computer
- specific, meaning if it was created for the C64 it must be run on a C64 to be
- dissolved. Likewise if it was created for the C128 it must be run on a C128.
- How do you tell which computer to load and run a '.SDA' file on? You can get a
- hint from which computer the files in the '.SDA' archive are intended to be run
- on. The uploader may have also specified, in the file's long description, which
- computer to use to dissolve it.
-
-
- "filename.ARC": Probably the most widely known and used archive method.
- Also the most troublesome for new users to understand the
- command syntax used to create or dissolve an archive. Of the 3 archive methods
- mentioned, only an '.ARC' file needs a special program to be dissolved. It's
- also the same one used to create an '.ARC' file.
-
- To dissolve an '.ARC' file on the C64 you will need file #4795,
- "ARC250.SDA", from the *FLAGSHIP* Libraries. The easiest method that works in
- most cases for dissolving an '.ARC' file on a C64 is to copy it on to a blank
- formatted disk so it will be the only file on that disk. Load and run ARC250
- then insert the disk with the '.ARC' file on it in drive #8 and type:
-
- arc/x a:*
-
-
-
- Ship's Log - Copyright (C) 1992 by the Flagship
-
-
-
-
- June 1992 Page 6
-
-
-
-
- On the C128 to dissolve an '.ARC' file you will need file #7799,
- "CS-DOS15.SFX" and file #7800, "CS-DOC15.SFX". CS-DOS is a very powerful
- operating system enhancement for your C128. Unfortunately the documentation
- can be hard to grasp. For help using CS-DOS, see category 3 topic 18 in the
- *FLAGSHIP* Bulletin Board. ARC128 is included with the CS-DOS package but is
- not immediately set up and ready to use. You will have to install ARC128 in a
- CS-DOS ramdisk or, download file #9621, "CSDOS.NOREU.SFX". If you have a 1750
- ram expansion then download file #9620, "CSDOS.REU.SFX" instead. Both of these
- files contain an autoexec file CS-DOS needs and a ramdisk with ARC128 already
- installed for you, ready to use. Just rename the autoexec and ramdisk files
- that came with the CS-DOS package and copy the new ones to your CS-DOS disk.
-
- Just like dissolving an '.ARC' on the C64, copy the '.ARC' file onto a
- blank formated disk. Run the CS-DOS "shell" program to get the ramdisk
- containing ARC128 into memory and use the same command syntax as for ARC250 on
- the C64, with the disk containing the '.ARC' file in drive #8. Type:
-
- arc128/x a:*
-
- ARC128 does have one quirk I should mention. Whatever filename that ARC128 has
- been named MUST be used in the "arc" part of the command. So if you have
- renamed ARC128 to "DOIT" then the command to give would be:
-
- doit/x a:*
-
-
- "filename.LBR": An older type of archived file that you may still find
- hanging around in the *FLAGSHIP*. Use file #1142, "LIBRARY
- 128 V1.3A" on the C128 or file #8086 "LIBRARY V8.6.ARC" on the C64 to dissolve
- them. At one time LIBRARY was a very popular method of combining several files
- into 1 file for telecommunication transfer but has since gone out of favor when
- ARC and the self-dissolving archives came about.
-
-
-
- (*) COMMODORE FILE TYPE EXTENSIONS (*)
-
- "filename.TXT" or ".DOC": These file types are text only, most always in
- ASCII format. Just download them as a sequential
- file and view them using your favorite word proccessor or text editor.
-
-
- "filename.CVT": Found only in the *FLAGSHIP* Geos Libraries 35, 36 and 37.
- All the '.CVT' extension means is that the file MUST be
- converted to Geos file format before it can be usable under the Geos operating
- system. This is really a misnomer since ALL Geos files must be converted from
- the Geos format to CBM format before they can be uploaded anyway, and then
- converted back again when downloaded. Use file #6697, "CONVERT2.5" OR file
- #6957, "CONVERT-2.5DA" to convert Geos files back and forth. File #6957 runs
- as a desk accessory under Geos.

-
- The SID music files found in the *FLAGSHIP* Libraries 15, 16, 17, 18 and 25
- can have any one of these filename extensions: .MUS .WDS .STR .MSW .PIC .PIL
- .SAL or .SLR.
-
- If the file ends with .MUS that means it can be loaded right into the Stereo
- SID Player and played. For the most part any other file extension such as .MSW
- has to be run in C64 mode. Doing so will dissolve the files into 2 or more
- files for the SID player. Usually these files end with .MUS (the main music
- file), .STR (the stereo part of the file), .WDS (the words for the song), and
- .PIC (a picture for the SID, occasionally SID files come with pictures to
- illustrate the song).
-
- To listen to any SID music file you will need file #8453, "SIDPLAYER10.3.SDA"

- ) PORT of Call (
- +----------------------------------------------------------+
- by Mark Dulski
-
-
- Each time you call GEnie there is a tracking number that GEnie assigns
- to you while you are online. To read this number just type "PORT" (without the
- quotes) at any main menu on GEnie. A long number like this will be displayed
- on your screen:
- Port: 20508108111001001 Mrc: 907
-
- It is always a good idea to get this number and write it down, or save
- it to your buffer, as one of the first things you do each time you log onto
- GEnie. That way if anything should happen to go wrong while you are online you
- can notify the GEnie staff through the email address of FEEDBACK. Include this
- number in your email, explaining what happened and where on GEnie the problem
- occurred. Problems don't happen often but when they do, by including the PORT
- number in your email you'll make it much easier (and faster) for GEnie to track
- down and correct the problem you may have encountered.
