*** Questions and Answers Part 3 ***
From: Baron
I would appreciate help with a
program from volume 17. The name of
the file is "F-KEYS FIXER.128"
When I load and attempt to run the
program I get "? syntax error in
240". When I hit my "HELP" key, I get
"KEY1," and it is highlighted.
I am a recent subscriber to
"LOADSTAR" and I must say I am quite
impressed with your media. Your ads
are quite true when they say if you
can afford one disk service this
should be the one. I wish I had
tried yours prior to my other
subscriptions.
I'm looking forward to your reply to
see how well this works !!

Dear Loadstar:
This is my first issue of Loadstar
and I truly love it. I would like to
know if you plan to have Loadstar on
the new Commodore 1581 disk drive
that is 3.5 inch.

Ah LOADSTAR, where are you? What has
happened to the old motto, "LOADSTAR
is only as good as you the subscriber
make it."? It seems to me that you
really started disappearing when you
came out in your new plastic case.
You know, the one that you step on
when you go to the mail box because
it was too large to fit in the box.
A few of the things that I miss that
made you unique and great are:
1. INFLUX
2. FEEDBACK
3. QUESTION & ANSWERS
4. USER TO USER
5. HINTS AND TIPS
6. SOFTWARE REVIEWS BY THE
SUBSCRIBERS
7. Those good articles like "DOS &
DONT'S and PEEKS & POKES
I was so thrilled with my first issue
of LOADSTAR (#13) that I subscribed
and ordered copies of disks #1 thru
#12. As a matter of fact I thought so
much of it, I ordered a years sub-
scription for my son also.
If it is your intent to continue
down this road of the exclusion of
subscriber interface, I doubt that I
will be renewing either subscription.
One other complaint before I get
off my soap box. Could you modify
'ARCHETYPE' for a 40 column display
that can be scrolled so that you can
see 40 columns of an 80 column
processor at a time. This would be
beneficial to those of us who can not
handle the 80 column display due to
poor eyesight.
