from some Great LOADSTARites
-----------------
Dave
The lady I know lost a son, not a
daughter in the WTC disaster. I am
looking at a picture on a page from
the October 27th New York Daily News
with this caption:
MOM'S GRIEF Helmet of 28-year-old
Firefighter Christian Regenhard
carried by mother, Sally, at St.
Patrick's Cathedral Mass. Regenhard
may have been FDNY's youngest victim
on Sept. 11th.
No, I am not near enough to have
the fumes of the disaster, though my
elder son works about a mile from
"Ground Zero" and he probably had the
fumes and soot for awhile.
For awhile the papers carried a
tally of the bodies recovered: at
last count about 600 - a little over
10% - but lately no tally has been
published,

Dear Ken
My apologies for getting the facts
messed up. Our hearts and prayers go
out to the Regenhards and all the
families that grieve today because of
the horrid attacks. I also feel sorrow
for families in Afghanistan and
elsewhere whose lives have been torn
asunder by our merciless retaliation.
And yet, how else is the United States
to respond to such vicious treachery?
Once again, thank you for helping us
have a real connection to the tragedy.

Good news! The replacement Issue
#206 came and appears to work fine. On
Issue #207, the READ IT for About Ring
Ware keeps stating words to the effect
that "Side One not found." Since this
is a 1581 disk with only Side 1, I
wonder if the problem is in the SEQ
file "Files on Side 1".
Secondly, on #207, "Ant Wars"
locks up while "thinking" during level
2. An info fix as in the past would be
welcome.
Thank you for the Commodore
Gazette information. The #207 issue
is one of your best. Please accept my
order for the Back Order Special
enclosed.

Dear Henry,
Thank you for the kind words. The
problem with the READ IT file for
About Ring Ware is not in the "Files
on Side 1" file. That file is used by
the Copy It feature and evidently
doesn't do anything for Reading or
Running programs. The problem is in
the "FEATURES" file -- an ordinary
Edstar file that lists the Menu
items, the Comment Bar comments, and
the filename to load. In FEATURES, I
listed the file as ABOUT RINGWARE,
but on the directory it became just
"ABOUT". You can either
1. Use Edstar or Mr.Edstar to edit
FEATURES to look for "about", or
2. Rename "ABOUT" to "ABOUT
RINGWARE".
The Ant Wars lock-up happens
sometimes. The code is too complex
for me to decipher it. Other times it
works just fine. If anyone out there
wants to get in there and figure it
out, we could use a real fix on this.
"ANT WARS.PKD" is an all Basic
program that has been linked and
packed with Lee Novak's Linker and
Packer. It can be dissolved with
Dissolver. All three of these
utilities are available on LS #205.
