AndreDä}ws, member¢ ACE of SYRACUSE, and THE OL'¢ HACKERS A.U.G., Inc.¢ ¢ Billboard is an 8-bit Shareware¢ program Dà} that will print screen¢ graphics on a dot-matrix printer. ¢ It's much more than a simple screen¢ dump, howeverDå}. Billboard prints can¢ range from wallet size to multi-page¢ posters and on up to huge billboards,¢ for which the progrDç}am is named.¢¢ Billboard was written by Chris¢ Wareham of Spearfish, South Dakota. ¢ The version I have, from thDê}e ACE of¢ Syracuse November 1991 disk of the¢ month, carries a copyright date of¢ 1987. It is written in Atari BASIC Dë}and¢ can be used with any Atari 8-bit¢ computer with at least 48K of RAM and¢ a disk drive.¢¢ As written, BillboarDè}d requires a¢ printer compatible with the Epson FX-¢ 80. For users with other printers,¢ the author thoughtfully Dï} provides¢ information in the documentation that¢ makes it reasonably easy to change the¢ necessary printer codes. I had toDî} do¢ this for my Gemini 10X printer and for¢ a friend's Atari XMM801. (Author's¢ note: This modification is in the¢Dì} OHAUG library! Check your 2 library¢ disks, or with the Librarian for¢ details.)¢¢ The source code is compDÄ}letely¢ accessable, allowing those with¢ programming skills to enhance and¢ customize it. It is well-written anDÅ}d¢ commented, making it fairly easy to¢ follow for such a complex program. ¢ Roy Goldman once created a version¢ thDÉ}at would print to a disk file as¢ well as to a printer, and included it¢ with his famous Daisy Dot II.¢¢ Billboard cDæ}an print pictures from¢ GRAPHICS modes 7+(15 on XL/XE¢ machines), 8, and 9. These pictures¢ must come from "stDÆ}andard" 62-sector¢ disk files. This format is used by¢ many drawing programs, such as¢ MicroPainter and RAMbranDô}t. There are¢ literally hundreds of these pictures¢ available from several PD sources. ¢ The JVIEW XL monochrome modes Dö} produce¢ files in this format.¢ Many drawings created with other¢ programs, such as Micro Illustrator,¢ can be conDò}verted to 62-sector format¢ using Rapid Graphics Converter, a¢ program from the November 1985 issue¢ of Antic magaziDû}ne. Print Shop icons¢ and Newsroom photos can be converted¢ to GRAPHICS 8 files using Newsroom¢ Converter, from theDù} December 1988¢ Antic. Several PD programs exist that¢ also do such conversions.¢¢ Because GRAPHICS 7+, 8, and 9 each¢Dÿ} use the same amount of memory,¢ Billboard can load, display, and print¢ a picture in several different ways. ¢ EachDÖ} picture can be loaded and printed¢ in any of the three modes, and in¢ addition can be loaded and displayed¢ as GRAPHIDÜ}CS 7+ but printed as GRAPHICS¢ 8.¢¢ GRAPHICS 8 is a two-color mode, so¢ each pixel is either on or it's off. ¢ GRAPHICS D¢} 7+ and 9 are multi-color¢ modes, and shading techniques are used¢ to differentiate between the different¢ colors in the D£}printout. In the case¢ of GRAPHICS 7+, the user is given the¢ opportunity to change the shadings¢ applied to each oD¥}f the four color¢ registers before printing. A handy¢ one-button default restoration is¢ provided for those who gDß}et hopelessly¢ lost during this process.¢¢ Pictures may be printed either¢ upright or sideways, and in either¢ rDƒ}egular or inverse style. In regular,¢ pixels that are light on the screen¢ are dark on the printout. In inverse,¢ dark pDá}ixels are dark on the paper.¢¢ Only one vertical dot density is¢ provided-the standard 72 dots per¢ inch. This isDí} the distance between¢ the pins on most dot-matrix printers,¢ and variance from this density, while¢ sometimes possibleDó}, is limited and¢ difficult to program.¢¢ For those printers capable of¢ producing them, four horizontal¢ Dú}densities are supported. They are¢ 480, 720, 960, and 1920 dots per line¢ (dpl). These translate to 60, 90,¢ 120, Dñ} and 240 dots per inch,¢ respectively. The base width of the¢ printed picture is determined by the¢ selection DÑ} of the horizontal density. ¢ Thus, a 960 dpl base-sized printout is¢ twice as wide as a 1920 dpl base-sized¢ printout.¢¢ Dª}Printout height and width sizes can¢ be expanded in multiples of the base¢ dimensions, and independently of each¢ other. Dº} As the user cycles through¢ each dimension multiple on the¢ selection menu, the physical size of¢ the final resD¿}ult in feet and inches is¢ reported in a message box.¢ Once the second dimension has been¢ selected, the number of pages D⌐}and the¢ amount of time required for a printout¢ as if it were done on an FX-80 are¢ reported. There seems to be no upD¬}per¢ limit to the size capabilities of this¢ program. For instance, a 960 dpl¢ printout that is 1800 high by 1800¢ D½}wide is 400 by 400 feet in size and¢ will take 270,000 pages and 32,400¢ hours to print. That's 3.7 YEARS! I¢ have D¼} not yet checked this for¢ accuracy. (grin)¢¢ Pictures may also be placed to the¢ right, center, or left side D¡}of the¢ printout, and there is a handy¢ printing pause feature to allow the¢ printer to cool off and for paper D«}or¢ ribbon changes.¢¢ For all of its versatility,¢ Billboard is one of the easiest¢ programs I have ever trD»}ied to learn to¢ use. There is one command screen,¢ with various menu and message boxes. ¢ Selections from the menus Dã} are made¢ through the use of the arrow and¢ RETURN keys. Except for the physical¢ requirements of printer operationDõ}, the¢ entire program can be operated with¢ just one finger.¢¢ Billboard is an excellent program,¢ and I recommend it DØ}to all 8-bit users.¢ It can have many uses beyond printing¢ pretty computer pictures. For¢ example, you could Dø} create an¢ advertising poster or a sign with a¢ drawing program like DRAW7, then blow¢ it up to almost any sizDœ}e using¢ Billboard-something you can't do with¢ Print Shop.¢¢ As with many other good 8 BIT¢ programs, the only DŒ}real limit is your¢ own imagination.¢¢ #####################################¢¢many other good 8 BIT¢ programs, the only D N ⇧⓪⇧①⇧i⇧⌐,™,PñRñAñצחLנHחIJכםך ü ΦΦü⇧Φ Ä⇨ü⇩v③ ⇧ ⇨ ⇦@ ❎ ╱ ◆A❎É ✓ @⇧

It is¢ a pain to go and look them up all the¢ time. There is an easier M}way!¢¢ AH, THE SOLUTION¢¢ Now there is an easy solution to¢ this problem. I have written a quick¢ guide template ofM⓪} all the 1st XLEnt¢ docs, that will fit over the keyboard¢ of the 130 XE. Although this program¢ is written to fit tM①}he 130XE the¢ template can be adjusted to fit the¢ 800XL. For the 800XL cut out only the¢ keyboard space. You will haveM②} to trim¢ a little bit on the right side of the¢ template to get complete access to the¢ console keys of the 800XL.¢¢ THE IM③}NFO BEFORE YOU¢¢ You now have everything right in¢ front of you on the keyboard. You do¢ not have to go to the manualM④} anymore.¢¢ ABOUT THE PROGRAM¢¢ The program is self explanatory.¢ The mounting instructions are on the¢ print out. M⑤}The program prints a two¢ page template that you paste with¢ rubber cement on a piece of cardboard¢ or styrofoam boardM⑥}¢¢ WHAT YOU NEED¢¢ You will need a piece of stiff¢ cardboard or styrofoam board that is 9¢ X 14 inches or 23 X 35.5M⑦} centimeters¢ wide. An ideal backboard is a¢ corrugated piece of cardboard from a¢ large box. I was a little morM⑧}e fancy¢ and went to a large office supply¢ house and bought a 1/8 inch thick red¢ styrofaom board. I cut the board 1M⑨}/2¢ inch larger than 9 X 14 to give me a¢ red border. You will also need a large¢ rubber band or you may have to tie¢ sMə}everal together to hold the template¢ in place, over the computer. Since the¢ template will be used a lot I also¢ boughtM} clear laminating plastic that¢ you glue over the template. W.T.¢ Rogers makes them and they are called¢ PLAIN-VU. M}You remove them from the¢ backing and glue them to the finished¢ template. ¢¢ HOW TO, STEP BY STEP¢¢ After you haveM} printed sheet [A]¢ and [B]. Glue them together with¢ rubber cement at the place indicated¢ and cut off the mounting M}instructions.¢ You now have a 9 X 14 or 23 X 35.5 cm¢ printed sheet. Apply rubber cement to¢ the back of this sheet. Glue iM}t to the¢ cardboard or stryfoam board. Then,¢ with a razor blade or utility knife¢ cut out the openings for the keyboaM }rd,¢ the console keys and the power light.¢ Each cut out is clearly marked.¢ The next step is to turn the¢ templatM!}e over and cut out the¢ laminating plastic from the keyboard¢ and console key openings.¢ The last step is toM"} attach the¢ rubber band. Near the edges in the¢ middle of the template make a small¢ hole and tie on one side thM#}e rubber¢ band. Put the template ovr the 130 XE¢ keyboard and tightend the rubber band¢ and then tie it to the other hole.¢M$}¢ FINI¢¢ That is all there is to this¢ project.

I've been gone from this¢column for a while. The New York¢City Board of Education, specifically¢its ChQ,}ancellor, recently made some¢moves to seriously impair, if not¢eliminate, the Home Instruction¢program for whichQ-} I have worked since¢1965. I believe in this program and¢have recently spent all my free time¢on demonstarting in order toQ.} keep it¢going. So far there is a reprieve, so¢the vigilance will continue, but it¢won't occupy my time as much as it¢dQ/}id in the last few months.¢¢Now, to some more pleasant tasks. ¢I've been handed a stack of¢newsletters to reviQ0}ew, and some¢changes are evident in the stack. We¢continue to get newsletters from user¢groups that contain nothingQ1} of¢interest to 8-bitters, but we also¢get surprises now and then from some¢that have stopped running 8-bit¢articQ2}les in the past.
