COMPUTER TIPS
Walker 71108
Here is a tip that some of you Space
Cadets may not be aware of. Once you
have loaded a Loadstar disk, and you
do not find the program that you were
looking for, you do not have to load
each Loadstar disk to look for the
program that you are searching for.
Just insert another LOADSTAR disk and
hit the 'X' to get back to the main
menu. Then hit the key to load the
Payload programs and you will see the
list of programs on the disk that you
have in the drive. You can keep doing
this until you have found the program
you are looking for.

>This should work for all issues of
LOADSTAR if you remember to put
the correct side of the disk in.

After I run a program, I always like
to look at the LISTing. To get back
to the menu, I look for the line in
the program (usually near the end)
which contains the word 'Payload' and
type GOTO that line number. Try it,
it works!

Does any one have problems getting
SIMON'S BASIC on cartridge to work ?
My first cartridge went nuts after
5 minutes of use. A chip inside went
bad !!!
The second SIMON'S BASIC cartridge
would only work once every 25 to 50
times on powering up my C-64 !!!
I may have found a solution to the
unreliable boot of SIMON'S BASIC !!!
My cartridge slot now has a self-
installed [On/Off] switch which
[Allows/Doesn't Allow] control by the
computer.
The C-64 recognizes the cartridge
when present, and shows remaining
memory available for BASIC use as if
the cartridge was active when switch
is in [Doesn't Allow] position.
When switch is in [Allows] position,
SIMON'S BASIC is active every time the
C-64 is powered on or reset with my
self-installed [Reset Switch]!!!

Here is a one line program that is 90%
effective to stop the chattering noise
on protected software. It can be typed
in the immediate mode or put a line
number in front and save it as a
program. This should be entered just
before the commercial software is
loaded. After it is entered, load the
software according to directions.
OPEN 15,8,15:PRINT#15,"M-W";CHR$(106)
CHR$(0)CHR$(1)CHR$(133):CLOSE15

If you want to load and run a program
automaticly, simply add a colon to the
end of the load command and then press
the SHIFT & RUN/STOP keys.
Example:
LOAD'FILENAME',8:<RUN/STOP>
