***********************************¢ WELCOME TO THE ANTIC MONTHLY DISK ¢ (c)1990 Antic Publishing¢***********************************¢¢Most of the programs on this disk are¢written in Atari BASIC. Some might¢require special hardware or specific¢operating instructions. Please read¢the matching issue of ANTIC Magazine¢for complete documentation.¢¢Subscription Customer Service:¢(619) 485-7754.¢¢Back Issue and Subscription Orders:¢(800) 234-7001¢(Visa, MasterCard, and American¢Express only.)¢¢XXX¢¢ This month's disk features two AMP¢(Antic Music Processor) utilities,¢TRANSPOZ.BAS and SHIFTER.BAS. These¢programs are designed for modifying¢existing .AMP music files. If you¢use either of the programs, DON'T ¢save the resulting music with the¢original name! This would overwrite¢your original song.¢ You can use Transposer and Shifter¢without AMP, but to play back any AMP¢files you need the actual Antic Music¢Processor program (Antic Disk Bonus,¢June 1989).¢¢XXX¢¢ To complement the AMP utilities¢we've included three new AMP songs:¢ On side "A", BOLERO.AMP by Ravel is¢an epic composition that may make¢your hair stand on end. (If you enjoy¢this piece, do check out the movie¢"ALLEGRO NON TROPPO". It's a kind of¢social parody filled with great¢classical music and facinating¢animation.)¢ Also on this side is JEDI.AMP (the¢theme music from you-know what),¢whilst ELEANOR.AMP is on side "B".¢ Again, to play back the .AMP files¢you need Antic's Music Processor¢(Antic Disk Bonus, June 1989).¢ (You must run AMP.EXE and load the¢.AMP file to hear the song.)¢¢XXX¢¢ Side "B" contains this month's¢incredible Disk Bonus:¢¢ MINIATURE GOLF¢¢ All you need to do to play this¢game is to turn your computer on with¢Side "B" up in drive one. The program¢uses its own BASIC XL to RUN, so¢remove all cartridges before booting.¢(XL/XE users hold down [OPTION].)¢¢ Several files make up this golf¢game with all its holes and a¢construction set. YOU CAN'T RUN ANY¢OF THE FILES ON SIDE "B" FROM ATARI¢BASIC. Check the article for more¢information on the various files.¢¢XXX¢ If you've ever tried typing in¢programs from other issues, you know¢how hard it can be to get every line¢entered perfectly. To get you¢started, we've included the¢indispensable TYPOII.LST on disk.¢This is a LISTed version of our BASIC¢proofreader program. You must type:¢¢ ENTER "D1:TYPOII.LST"¢¢to load TYPO into your computer.¢Then follow the instructions in the¢beginning of the listings section to¢enter and check your program.¢¢XXX¢The menu that appeared on the screen¢when you booted the disk will only¢RUN programs with a .BAS extender.¢If you try to run a program and the¢response is 'cannot run Filename',¢check the file extender with this¢list:¢XXX¢¢¢.BAS BASIC saved program, use menu¢ RUN or LOAD and RUN.¢.LST BASIC listed program, ENTER¢ then RUN.¢.EXE Assembly language 'Load and¢ Go' file. Remove BASIC, boot¢ DOS, type L then enter the¢ filename.¢.ASM Assembly language source code¢ (Atari Assembler Editor)¢ Must be compiled.¢.M65 "SAVEd" MAC/65 assembly ¢ language source code.¢ Must be compiled.¢¢XXX¢¢.OBJ Machine language object file.¢ Same as .EXE but not 'Load and¢ Go'. See corresponding article.¢.SYS Reserved for DOS system files.¢.TXT Text file. Usually accessed¢ by another program.¢.ACT ACTION! language source code.¢ Must be compiled.¢.LGO A Logo program. Requires the¢ Logo cartridge.¢.AMP AMP Music file. Requires the¢ Antic Music Processor (AMP).¢¢XXX¢¢All programs from ANTIC issues dated¢prior to August 1984 were reproduced¢from ANTIC's Archive. We've updated¢them from our HELP columns and¢most are compatible with the XL and¢XE machines. We have worked to insure¢that our programs operate as¢published, but we consider all our¢software listings to be works in¢progress which we encourage you to¢personalize and enhance.¢¢Good luck, and ENJOY!¢¢ -ANTIC ED¢¢əəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəə
