I'm using a C-64, 1541 Disk Drive, and
an Epson MX-80 FT/Card? interface. I
am having difficulty getting tabs set
in programming to work on the printer.
Tabs work fine on a terminal display
but stagger across the page when
printed by the Epson. Are there any
others who have encountered and hope-
fully solved this problem? Help would
be appreciated.

>John, you did not say if the CARD/
>you are using is the A, B, or +G mo-
>del. If it is the +G (this also
>works for a 1525, 1525E, or even the
>Tymac Connection Interface), you can
>use the 1525's Column Tabbing com-
>mand. For example, to print "Price"
>then tab over to column 24 and print
>"$19.95", try this:
> PRINT#4,"PRICE";CHR$(16);"24$19.95"
>The basic form of a 1525 column tab
>is CHR$(16) followed by 2 digits for
>the column to tab to. For the Card/
>?A or B, you must use Epson's own
>tabbing command. Check your MX-80
>owner's manual for more info.

Does anyone have a suggestion to
help me improve my Datasette connect-
ion to the 64? My cable keeps coming
loose from the computer. I have to
actually hold it in place!
--------------------------------------
Does anyone
know of some good Computer Wargames
that will run on a 64? I would like
to see some that are similiar to the
Avalon Hill, SPI, TSR, GDW games. I
guess I want realism without all the
die rolling and rules reading! The
best one I have so far is Knights of
the Desert. Get in touch if you know
of some good computer wargames.

I am a music teacher and semi-pro mu-
sician. I am looking for a good music
program for the C-64, something which
will allow me to save a composition
on a disk and to print out my composi-
tions. I have seen many adds for mu-
sic programs but the adds don't tell
me enough. Maybe someone in this uni-
verse can help me out.
I am also looking for music educa-
tion software for the C-64. Is there
any out there?

Currently I have a couple
questions. I hope a fellow astronaut
might come to my aid.
1. I would like to know what I
can do to my progams (Basic
or ML to make them fly as
soon as they are loaded.
2. I have a BMC printer. I
would like to know of a
routine that would launch
a hi-res screen out to my
printer.

I am the owner of a C-64 with disk
drive and an IDS Microprism printer
connected by a Cardco interface. I
also own a Word-Pro3 word processing
program. I would very much like to
know a good data management program
that I could use with my Word Pro3
What I mean by good is that it will
have a sort that is fast and flexible,
upper and lower case for mail lists
and addresses etc (m'File will not do
lower case) large records and numerous
files. Word Pro people advise me that
they have no plans to write one but
I should seek one that has
sequential files and this should work
with their program. They suggested
Power File by City Software Distrib
out of Milwakee. Is anyone familiar
with this or other such data
management program that could help me?

REQUEST LINE:
Several members of our group have
the ' Simon's Basic" program and
are having a great deal of fun with
it . We would be very interested in
hearing from other Loadstar readers
who have SIMON's BASIC and could share
some applications and programming
tips. One item we are trying to
decipher, is how to write text into a
Hires rectangle and to replace the
text without re-building the rectangle
as it is time consuming. The reason
we have the program, is to create some
video titleling for produced Video
Tapes.
Another request, we are looking for
a smooth scroll program that would
enable us to slow smooth scroll sim-
ilar to titling done in professional
movies. Any one with help would be
greatly appreciated.
