Questions & Answers Part 2
--------------------------
From: Rubinson
Loadstar,
Since Loadstar went to its new
format and when it started launching
and reading the table of contents,
etc... It has not been too great
having to wait a long time just for a
menu. I, and probably all other
Loadstar users, feel that you should
make a built-in fastload for
Loadstar. I have Mach-5, but I feel
that sometimes it ruins Loadstar
because of screen blanking which
causes me to miss all the messages
that are printed on the screen while a
file is being loaded. And even the
wait for the regular programs is so
long... the only programs that load
in a short time are the 128 programs
which I use frequently. I like using
Loadstar a lot and plan to be a
subscriber for a long time, but I
wish that you would either install a
fast loader to Loadstar, or change it
back to it's original format.

re: issue 26
Things to consider -
If the Print Shop images can be
used on Print Shop, it would be VERY
helpful if the "read about it" would
include the names of the images, so
it can be printed and kept!

I like to print the "read about
it" for reference. But then comes
the problem. What issue of Loadstar
was the program in? Could you print
the issue number at the top of the
"read about it" section; if not on
the screen, then when printing?

Could you put the "read about it"
for the 128 programs in the 128 mode,
or would it take too much space for
the 128 Menu program?

You say in "read about it",
Feedback Maker can be used as a
simple word processor. How can your
customer save a file and read it
later, if the program first formats
the disk?

I just printed my comments
using a Gemini 15X printer. I could
not use this as a simple word
processor because it has no reason
(that one can see) in the printing.
