TURTLE RESCUE
Turtle Village is a place deep in the woods where all ihe little tunics, including you, once lived in perfect harmony. You, Speedy Turtle, were the fastest of them all. One day the land on which the village was built was overtaken by five giant spiders. Your turtle friends were all captured and taken away from the village. Now it's up to you to rescue us many of your friends as you can.
Turtle Rescue is a children's game written in machine language. Type in the listing on page 110 using Alwy.'s Flankspeed program (see page 101) and save to disk. To load the game, type LOAD "TURTLE RESCUE",8,1 fol lowed by SYS 49152. Make sure the joystick is plugged

HOW TO PLAY Once you have typed SYS 49152 and pressed RETURN the game screen appears. At the top of the screen three levels of difficulty are shown; you select the speed (1-3, where 1 is the slowest and 3 is the fastest). On the boitom of the screen the number of rescued (urtles is shown. Speedy Turtle is positioned on the bottom left hand side of the screen while his friends appear one at a time high above the ground on a platform. Your task is io travel back and forth across the screen carrying ladder pieces and setting them up underneath the platform. In order to rescue a turtle you need 10 ladder pieces. To carry
a ladder piece, simply guide Speedy Turtle to the left side of the screen where a picture of a ladder is shown. To posiiion a ladder underneath (he platform, guide

SCIENTISTS i When we started our company on the west coast, people thought we were a little
spaced out. So you can imag ine their reactions when we announced we'd discovered a new universe. People laughed. People
scoffed. And they really freaked
out when we told them where we'd found it:
Inside a Commodore 64.
It's called GEOS. And it
turns any Commodore into a
powerful PC that holds its own
against any computer, no matter what kind of fruit it was named after.
GEOS: The superior intelligence. Of course, we always knew Commodores possessed superior brains. It just
took GEOS to discover them. You see, GEOS opens your
Commodore to a huge universe
that can hold an infinite number of applications. Which means that
GEOS can do just about anything the expensive PC's can do, including one thing they can't: Add even more GEOS applications that are being developed even as you read this. Increase your speed to
warp factor 7. The first thing you notice with GEOS is how
its diskTurbo speeds up your Commodores disk loading and storing time.
Not twice or three times as fast. But five to seven times faster than normal. Which lets you streak through files and
documents at what seems like warp speed. time.
And that saves you endless
Every universe comes complete with a desk. The way to keep order in our universe is with the GEOS Desktop. It's
just like your desk at home, only
without the coffee stains. The Desktop keeps your art
and documents filed, and comes
Running out of space.
with all the accessories you need
With GEOS, that's hardly likely. Because there's endless space in the universe for new applications.
to keep you organized: An alarm clock keeps you punctual. A notepad keeps your memos. And a calculator keeps your accountant honest. How to communicate with a new universe. With
Unfortunately, there's only so much space in this ad. So zip down to your nearest
software dealer. Tell him you want to explore the new universe in your Commodore.
geoWrite, you can rearrange your
written words. Move blocks of copy. Cut and paste. And even
display your text in fonts of different styles and sizes, right on the screen.
With geoPaint, you become a Michelangelo with a mouse.
thing about a new universe is finding your way around. But
\
^
with GEOS, you only need to remember two things: Point and click. When GEOS offers you
You uitf b* pfewd w lmow Tim tuojjif
options, you just point to your
answers and click your mouse or joystick. You want to draw? Point and click.
You want to write? Point
and click.
You want to fill in that obtuse
Sketching and painting with all kinds of colors, textures and patterns.
You can invert, mirror and rotate images. Insert them into your geoWrite documents. And
save them in your GEOS Photo Album for use later. Finding your way through
the universe. The most difficult
rhomboid with an air-brushed geometric pattern in a lighter shade of pink? Point and click.
Easy, huh? And in case you
ever do make a mistake, GEOS backs you up with an "Undo"
feature that undoes the very last command you entered.

JAILBREAK For the C-64 By Bob Blackmer
You have been imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit. Luckily, you are being held in an institution with questionable security. When you get your chance, you must break out ofjail. You will then proceed from building to build ing in the complex, gathering the evidence that will exon erate you. When you have collected all the evidence, it is time for a visit to your lawyer, who will take the evi dence and see that you are freed, llbur lawyer is located at the bottom right of the screen in the building marked with an T The time it takes you to complete this mis sion is your score. Making things difficult for you is the security system and the scout car which patrols the complex. The only time you can get in a building is when the door is opened

rectly to jail, there will be a lockdown, and the speed of the patrol car will increase.
One strategy to use as you wait for other buildings to open is to keep moving in the streets away from the pa trol car. This way, if there is a lockdown, you won't be caught in a building. If the patrol car is so fast you can not outrun it, try positioning yourself outside an open door and only go in when the patrol car is in the area. At the start of the game, since you can immediately get out ofjail and easily outrun the patrol car, you should be able to complete your mission in about two minutes.
If the patrol car has ever caught you, or you get locked in buildings, it can take quite some time. Good luck! Remember, be quick, be sneaky, be patient,

arcade quality game for the Commodore 64.
Sounds and music are included in the game screens. When the game has been loaded you are greeted with a title screen giving you the Ghosts' names, GOOLY, GOOKY, COOLY, and COOKY, and the scoring amounts. The Ghosts are displayed on the title screen and scroll up the screen in sequence. The border color changes to match the color of the ghost cur
a maze, with the ghosts in the four maze corners...but not for long. The ghosts move in all directions at varied speeds, and are out to get YOU. If they do, you lose a life. Fortunately, there are four red power-pills, one in each screen corner. Crunching one of these allows you to crunch the ghosts, but only as long as the crunching siren lasts. Beware, for as soon as you have this crunch ing power, all the ghosts increase their speed to escape from you. When a ghost is crunched it disappears, only to reappear in center screen a little later, so be very care ful when you cross this area. Paints are also gained for each white spot on the screen. You must crunch all the spots in order to advance to the next level of play. The second and third levels give you the bonus strawberry, and higher levels give you the cher ries. Both of these bonus-giving crunchies are blocked until you have crunched some of the white spots.
On the left and right side of the screen are openings which allow you and the ghosts to move through to the other side of the screen. So be very wary of hanging out there when a ghost decides to cross through from the other side. By the way, watch out for the Green Ghost,

who has a habit of getting in your way (but only when you do not have crunching power).
The program is written in three parts, but when you
have finished typing and have saved all three, parts two and three will be made into a hybrid program. Start off by (yping in the first listing on page 102 and saving it
as CRUNCHMAN1 to tape or disk. Do not run it yet. Remember to change the 8 to 1 in line 185 of the listing if you are using tape. Next clear memory by typing NEW and then type in the second listing, being extremely care ful not to change anything, not even a space. Before you save it, list it onscreen, then type PRINT256*PEEK(46) +PEEK(45). You must get 6200; if you do not, you will need to recheck your program, make the corrections, and try again. Save the program as CRUNCHMAN2, only when this is correct.
Now type in the third listing, using Flankspeed (see
page 101), The starting address is $1836 and the ending address is S1CBF. When you have a saved copy of all three programs on disk or tape, you have one very impor tant thing left to do (described in the following paragraph). This will convert the second listing to a hybrid program by joining listing 3 to the end of it. Once this has been done you will have a truly professional top quality ar cade game...fast, mean, and addictive.
Clear the computer's memory by SYS64738 and load
the second listing with LOAD"CRUNCHMAN2",8 or 1
for tape. Do not run it. Now type (as a check) PRINT256*
PEEK(46)+PEEK(45). You should get an answer of
6200.
Leave this on the screen and type LOAD
"CRUNCHMAN3",8,1 (do not forget the 1 as this ML
program must load into the correct location, which of course starts at 6200). When this has been loaded and
you get the ready prompt, cursor up until you are over
the PRINT256*PEEK(46)+PEEK<45) and press return.
The 6200 should change to 7359. Now save this hybrid program by SAVE"@0:CRUNCHMAN2",8 (no ,1 is re quired). Those who are worried about Commodore's "@0:" bug(?) can type OPENI5,8,15 + RETURN and
then PRINT«5,"S0:CRUNCHMAN2" and then CLOSE 15 and then SAVE"CRUNCHMAN2",8. Tape users need
only save the hybrid program over the original. Now you are ready to try your crunching skills. Do not scratch CRUNCHMAN3 yet; wait until you have
tried out the game. Type NEW and LOAD"CRUNCHMANF,8: (use the colon at the end if you are using disk) and press SHIFT/RUN STOP instead of RETURN. The program will now load and run, loading and running
Crunchman2 for you automatically. □ SEE PROGRAM LISTING ON PAGE 102

re you a hacker at heart? After typing in a game program, do you get more pleasure from modifying the game than from play ing it? When you boot up your computer,
do you normally load a handful of favorite utilities to configure the computer just the way you want it? Do you ever spend hours fine-tuning a program until it "feels" just right?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have the characteristics of a hacker. There are num
erous connotations, both good and bad, of the term "hack
er." Here we mean "software tinkerer" or "bit twiddler." We will not discuss the use of modems to break into the
Strategic Air Command's Defense Communications Sys tem. Nor will we delve into "busting" the latest copy pro tection schemes. Our goals are more modest but true to the .spirit of hacking. This month we will start with a BASIC "loader" pro gram which puts a machine language utility into memory. We will use the machine language monitor to explore
this utility as it resides in memory. We will disassemble the utility to figure out how it works. Finally, we will see what is required to move the utility to a different lo cation in memory. Why do this? Simply because it's there.
THE LOADER You have seen those machine language loader programs many times before. They are written in BASIC, and they consist mainly of DATA statements filled with decimal
or hexadecimal numbers. Have you wondered about the significance of all those numbers?
To fully understand them, you must know something
about assembly language. Unfortunately this article can
not teach assembly language in one easy lesson. Never
theless, you don't need to be an assembly language ex pert to follow this discussion. This will be a lesson in
what to look for in an assembly language program and how to find some answers.
The utility loader is called Siring Loader (see page 114). It is written for the C-128, but slight modifications will
let it run on the C-64 as well. One of the changes we will discuss will let you modify the program for the C-64. Line 1050 puts a byte of data B into memory location M. Initially M is 4892 in line 1000. The first byte of data read from line 1100 is $4C. (Numbers preceded by $ are hexadecimal values. Others are decimal.) CK in line 1040 adds all the data values together to form a "checksum." Once the last data value ("XX") has been read, the check sum is compared with the correct value to ensure that

all DATA statements have been typed properly. If they
have been, line 1090 is executed and states that all is well. At this point, the 32 bytes of data have been put into memory starting at address 4892. This data is a machine language utility which can be called from BASIC. The purpose of this utility is to print a specified number of
identical characters on the screen. The STRING utility is equivalent (except in speed) to this BASIC routine:
BREAKING INTO MACHINE LANGUAGE UTILITIES
10 C!l=65
:
20 FOR J=l TO N
30 PRINT CHR$(CH); 40 NEXT J
the letter "A" which has an ASCII value of 65 is printed 500 times on the screen.
Once the Siring Loader program has been successfully run, it leaves a machine language program in memory starting at address 4892. Your C-128 BASIC program can

Lines 20 and 30 convert the value N, which may be as large as 65535, into two one-byte quantities, each be tween 0 and 255 inclusive. The variable CH stores the ASCII code of the character to be printed N times. The SYS statement causes the computer to jump to ad dress 4892 and to begin executing the machine language program there.

values to be stored in the A register, the X register, and the Y register of Uie processor before the machine lan guage routine is executed.
Assuming that all of this is new to you, let's discuss starting addresses and registers. In BASIC we use the GOTO or GOSUB statements to change the sequential flow of a program. We refer to specific instructions in BASIC by means of their line numbers. When the compu ter executes a GOTO 100 statement, it jumps to line 100 for its next instruction.

where line 100 is in the computer's memory. It is part of BASIC'S task to find line 100 in memory. BASIC is called a "high level language" since i( isolates the pro grammer from such rudimentary tasks as keeping track of where things arc stored in memory. The SYS statement is the gateway to a low level lan
guage. When BASIC sees SYS 4892, it causes the micro processor to jump to memory address 4892 for the next instruction. The processor docs not find any PRINT, GOTO, or other BASIC statements there. Instead the pro cessor finds instructions that it can execute on its own, without any help from the BASIC interpreter program. We will see examples to clarify this shortly.

We saw that the SYS command put values into the A, X, and Y registers before the computer branched to ad dress 4892. Registers are read-write storage locations within the microprocessor, similar to the memory func tion on a hand-held calculator. On the C-64, a BASIC program must POKE values for the A, X, and Y regis
ters into memory locations 780, 781, and 782 (see page 318 of the C-64 Programmer's Reference Guide) before
executing the SYS command. On the C-128. the register values are part of the SYS command.
MACHINE LANGUAGE
Before we get into the machine language, here is a tip if you have trouble. Read or reread Chapter 5 in either the C-64 or the C-128 Programmer's Reference Guide (re ferred to as the PRG). This chapter gives a good over view of assembly language and the innards of the com puter. The PRG's are not the clearest or the best-organ
ized books, but they provide essential and useful infor mation. No true hacker would be without one. Probably the most difficult aspects of machine language are the mathematics (binary and hexadecimal) and the
addressing modes. An assembler program relieves .some of the mathematica] burden in writing machine language
Where do we begin? We know that the routine is loaded into memory storting at 4892 (S13IC). Let's start by disas

sembling at that location. Type D 131C (or the equivalent disassembly command for your monitor). The first instructions of the STRING routine we see are
Concerning the addressing modes, nothing short of
time and practice will make you fully understand them. Don't worry about their names. The important thing is their function. Knowing thai LDA ($3A,X) is called "in

If you are using the C-64. you should change line 1030 to GOSUB 2050 to replace the C-128 HEX command.
That unknown command ??? looks puzzling at first. Is this really an executable program? Our first clue as to
Also note the lines beginning ;it 2000 which must be added for the 64. With the 64. the steps to get started are:
what this routine does is the JMP instruction. It causes the processor to unconditionally jump to address $1324.
1. Load and modify String Loader as described above. 2. Execute String Loader by typing RUN. 3. Load and run your machine language monitor pro gram (such as Supermon64). The STRING utility will usually not work in the C-64 at address 4892 where it is now. BASIC programs may interfere with it. For the following discussion, we are just looking at the program in memory and not trying
Now the explanation for those BOR (exclusive-OR) in

This time, we start disassembling at S1324 since that is where the JMP instruction goes. What we see now looks like a real program. How can you tell? Experience

Designed

Lockard,
Shanghai uses 144 tiles, divided into suits. Tiles bear, in addition to their identifying numbers, charming draw
ings of balls, bamboo twigs, horses, chickens, flowers, and other clever contrivances. Each suit is distinct and ornamental, making the game piec
es pleasant to use. The program randomly shuffles the tiles prior to the commencement of
a round. These are arranged in a multilevclcd pyramid called a Dragon. Gamers remove tiles in pairs. The computerist positions the onscreen cursor on top of a tile and clicks the action button. When the player lo cates its twin, a push of the button highlights it as well. An additional tap
removes the pair from the field. Only a tile at the edge of the pyra mid, or one atop a pile that is higher
than one which flanks it to the left or right, can be removed. When the
gamer highlights a tile that is unavail able, an onscreen message advises

the contest presents a handsome ap pearance. The red and while tiles are layered against a deep red back ground. The visible edges of buried tiles make it easy to see how many pieces are hidden in any stack. If the gamer succeeds in clearing the board, an animated fire-breathing dragon re

AMIGA
SECTION this is rapidly becoming inadequate. In the past, floppy disk capacity has
substantially exceeded the internal capacity of a system's RAM. The Amiga squeezes 880 kilobytes onto a 3.5 inch disk. Although this is a re spectable amount (more than three
times the capacity of the unexpanded system), it is substantially less than
twice the amount of RAM found in most systems.
AmigaDOS is disk-intensive. All its
screens must reside in chip RAM.
This data can be substantial.
A high resolution, non-interlaced window (640 by 200 pixels) requires 16,000 bytes for each bit plane. How ever, a single bit plane permits only two colors. The Hbrkbench screen,
with four colors, utilizes two bit planes for a total of 32,000 bytes. A
high resolution interlaced screen (640 by 400 pixels), with its maximum of
commands have to be loaded from
disk prior to execution. Amiga users have also become spoiled by the snappy responses normally provided
by the computer. They expect instant
gratification, Thus, even the brief and all-too-frequcnt delays caused by the high speed floppy disk access are an noying. Nearly intolerable are the endless disk swaps which must be en
dured on single drive systems. As a result we have found that the second
disk drive has become the most pop ular accessory alter the 256K RAM expander. Amiga users have also be come very adept at using the DOS

After using the Amiga for several months, we have become convinced that the optimum solution is addition al RAM. This was not overlooked by the Amiga's designers. The 68000

Unlike the most popular micro
computers in the "business" market, the Amiga lacks the facilities for in ternal expansion. Instead, the Ami ga is equipped with a single 86 pin edge card connector for external ex
pansion. This is a lull system bus with all the connections required for
any conceivable peripherals. This siot is in addition to the serial, parallel, video, audio, and floppy disk drive connectors located on (he back of the machine. It becomes apparent that the lack
of internal expansion is not a signif icant restriction when we consider that one or more of the "businessmachine's slots are usually occupied by cards to allow for serial, parallel,
and video, as well as RAM expan sion. All of these functions are al ready provided for on die Amiga's ex ternal connectors. Nevertheless, Commodore has rec ognized that some Amiga users may

All expansion cards have 100 pins, 14 more than the Amiga's expansion
between them. The charge is equal to the product of the voltage and the amount of capacitance. The rate at which the charge can be added to or removed from a ca pacitor is determined by the driv ing voltage and the resistance of the circuit.

Like any good word processor, it offers all [he now-standard features like insert mode and variable margins and line spacing. Rather than repeat all these features, we'll deal with the
most outstanding improvements. (For more information on the features of" the original PaperClip, please read the full-length review in the January 1985 issue of Ahoy!) One improvement that stands oui
iW third-party printers were listed in the manual's printer section. The man ual makes no mention of how to deal
with printer interfaces, mainly be cause it expects the user to lock the
interface in transparent mode and then let PaperClip I! (PC II) do all the work. In the rare case where a printer is not supported, it is fairly easy to design your own printer driv er, and the instructions for this in the manual are very well done.
Once 1 had locked my interlace properly, my printer duplicated the printer test document perfectly. Bold face, underline, italic, super- and sub scripts in four different type sizes all printed correctly. Combinations of these features also worked properly. PC II can address printers through the serial port, through an RS-232 in terface attached to the user port, or through a parallel adaptor attached to the user port. In addition, it will out put print files to the video display or to a disk file. This disk file output is a good way to prepare text for transmitting via the built-in telecom munications module.

PCIIhas a limited file size of 499 lines by 80 columns or 999 lines by 40 columns. However, with its link ing features this is not really a prob lem. The links can be specific or non specific. With the non-specific, you don't put the next file's name in the link command. At printout, the pro gram will ask for the next filename.
This can be very useful in cases where you may want to change the print order of the files to be printed. Another useful aspect of the non specific link is the external file link. In this case, a separate file is crea ted that lists all the files that are to be linked together. When this file is "printed," it will call in each link as it is needed. Via the external link file you can also change things like mar gins and print size.

which you can use in any of your programs. This subroutine is nearly perfectly random in its choice of numbers. A test of its random nature showed that in 25,000 rolls, the range from the value which occurred the fewest number of times to the value which occurred
the highest number of times was less than 1.5% away

from being perfectly random.
The installation and use of the Dice subroutine is sim ple. To install, first add a GOSUB 50060 to the begin ning of your program, then append lines 50060 to 50100 and 50160 to 50310 from Listing 1. To roll each dice, simply POKE 781,row and POKE 782,column. Row and
column are the locations on the screen where the dice should be placed. Next enter a SYS 49152. The value of the dice can be read with a PEEK(781). The follow ing lines are a demonstration of the Dice subroutine:

This short program displays the dice at row 5, column 10 and the value of the spots at the top of the screen.
The Dice subroutine can be moved to the start of any page by first changing all ten of the 192s in the listing
to whatever page you wish to use. then POKEing the sub routine into that location. For example, moving ihe sub routine to 51200 ($C800) would require a change of 192 to 200. If you move it into the BASIC workspace, be sure to protect it from BASIC variables. The Dice subroutine can also be used from an assem bly language program. To do so, add the following lines:

your BASIC program to make using this versatile device easy. Once the routine is POKEd into memory, SYS 49152 will read the location of pressure on the pad plugged into Port 2. PEEK(820) then returns the x-coordinate and PEEK(821) the y-coordinale. (These coordinates range from 0 to 255.) PEEK(822) will return 4 if the left button

But you still can't see anything. Color memory is full of clutter, just like the rest of memory on power-up. You have to hit [C) to Clear color memory. SIXFORTY al lows you to use any set of colors you want. I prefer black and white. Typing [T| will return you to the text screen.
Finally, typing the back arrow key will scroll the screen. (You can scroll from immediate mode or from within your own program by entering "SYS49152") The screen
you see scrolling in at the right is the screen at 32768.
The screen at 24576 scrolls into this region from the "right" also, making both screens a continuous band. If you want to use SIXFORTYas B subroutine, you will want either to alter line 61005 to return you to your main pro gram or to enter another line so that typing [R], for in
stance, will return you to the main program. Since SIXFORTY delves rather low in memory, you
will probably want to lower the top of BASIC. Use POKE 56,88. This will put the top of BASIC one byte beneath
the color memory of SIXFORTY. Load a DOODLE! or other hi-rcs graphic that resides
at 24576 (LOAD"DD[fuename]",8.1). Hit the back arrow key 40 times. You have a blank screen again, full of ran dom streaks. Load another DOODLE! Hitting the back arrow key will now scroll the two graphics end to end.
POSSIBILITIES SIXFORTY has great graphics possibilities. You can use it for a scrolling display, or you can double the horizon tal resolution of your C-64 hi-rcs screen. You may want to use the scrolling feature for animation in games. C

THE ADVENTURER For the C-64
By Jean-Francois Heon
You knew something didn't feel right when you walked into this town. Muffled whispers of gargoyles, more than your average share of missing townsfolk, and many other seem ingly unimportant pieces of information now make sense. If only you had heeded your Guild-Master's advice...but
no. Being ihe greedy thief your guild trained you to be, you couldn't resist trying this town.
Since you were caught stealing from a local church (I said you were greedy), your sentencing was left to the high clerics of the town. Your punishment, sounding too
strange to be easy, is to carry a key and a weapon of your choice underground and return alive.
You chose a stiletto (of course) for its speed, and also because back at the guild you learned how to throw it so that it can return to you regardless of what it strikes; let's sec men in plate mail try that! Hmm, you notice the key is numbered...it seems to be key one of a set. The numbers on the key are very worn and it seems to be of a set of somewhere between ten and nineteen, as
the second digit is illegible. The Clerics tell you that you must find and open all the coffers in the cavern below, and that they will only open in the order of the number on the key you have.
BlueBox
C64/128 >> Parallel
Printer Interface
This doesn't sound loo difficult; you wonder why you
needed a weapon. They did mention something about rooms with open coffers never being able to bother you again, but it didn't seem all that important. You were pushed into a pit and landed some twenty feet or so from the hole above. You now realize that you're not getting back up that way. Whoa... Now there's a gar goyle heading right for you. A quick flick of the wrist and your stiletto finishes him off. There is a large coffer in this room. Well, it looks like you have your work cut out for you.

This month we will discuss some of the best solutions lo the October 1986 Cotnmodares. The readers of this
column just won't let me do anything wrong. Problem #34-1: Distance Finder was suggested by a related problem from Yuk Hung Mak (Curacao. Netherland An tilles).

1 to point 2 is 1, not 2. But I won't give in without a fight, or at least a few words in my defense. Consider this. How wide is the graphics screen? You say it is 320 units wide, and 1 agree. In some sense, then, the distance from cell I at the left edge to cell 320 at the right edge of the screen is 320 units. My thanks go to Curt Leiker of Wamego, KS (not far
from my old stomping grounds in Salina) for his thor ough analysis of this dilemma. In a nutshell, consider cell number 1 consisting of a square with corner coor
dinates (0,0), (1,0), (1,1), and (0,1). clockwise from the upper left corner. Cell number 2 is a square with cor PROBLIM #38-4i MAXIMUM SQUARE Write a program to arrange the numbers 1 through 9

As Curt points out, if each cell were a 1 mile by 1 mile square, it makes a difference if you are traveling from point (0,0) in cell 1 to cell 2 or from point (1,0) in cell 1 to cell 2. In fact the distance from cell 1 to cell 2 rang es from 0 (step across the boundary separating them) up to the square root of 5 or roughly 2.24 (go from the up per left comer of cell 1 to the lower right comer of cell 2). So if you assume the cells have dimensions, dien the
distance from cell 1 to cell 320 could be 320. (If you assume the cells don't have dimensions, then how can
the width of 320 dimensionless cells equal 320?) Enough said. If we assume that the distance from cell 1 to cell 320 is 319 units, the problem is. well-defined (and the way it was intended to be). The tidiest solution
lions: since 5 divided by 3 equals 1 with a remainder of 2, 5 DIV 3 is 1, and 5 MOD 3 is 2.
You can see that the expressions in Richard's formula
are equivalent to those in Craig's program. The DIS
TANCE function performs the calculation of the Pytha gorean Theorem. Richard is the programmer for the math package for Super Chip, so when he says the distance between points 1 and 64000 is 375.981383, we believe it. Problem #34-2: Greased Igpay from Dr. Petrie Curryfavor (AKA Eddie Johnson-Albuquerque, NM) brought numerous responses to Dr. Curryfavor's "short est Pig Latin translator program" challenge. There are numerous dialects of Pig Latin. Words starting with a vowel are simply repeated with eilher an "ay," "way," "hay,"

AHOY!
The first (lines 10 through 20) is from Dr. Curryfavor
himself. The FOR-NEXT loop cycles through the input
word, each time taking the first letter and moving it to
the end. This process continues until a vowel is found,
at which time an "ay" is added to the end of the rotated
word. This program works fine with normal words, but don't try entering "words" without a vowel such as "GRR" or "L". I respectively submit line 40 as an even shorter alternative to line 30. The MID$(A$,2) statement is iden
tical in function to RIGHT$(A$,LEN(A$)-1). The second solution is from Chris Barth (Clinton, NJ). Chris's program requires you to type a word and press
the space bar when you are done. The screen starts dis playing letters only after you have typed the first vowel
in your word. When the space bar is pressed, the leading consonants (accumulated in W$) are printed followed by "ay."
Jim Speers (Niles, MI) and Greg Smisek (Lonsdale, MN) both sent two-line solutions. Jim's is for the C-128 and uses 140 characters in one line. Greg's solution is shown above starting ut line 200. Greg arbitrarily decided that "single consonants, clusters of three consonants, and digraphs, except those with the letter 'H' in the second place," should all be moved to the end. He said that the "H" exception allows proper translation of THE" which becomes "HETAY". At least Greg's solution handles "CY CLE" properly, which most others do not.
To try each of the three solutions above, type "RUN", "RUNKXT, or "RUN200"
At least half of the solutions to Problem #34-3: Digit Decomposition used string values other than the allowed "+" and "=". The most common violation was the "[LEFT]" character to erase the final plus sign. The prob
by removing it. The main loop at 40 repeatedly divides the input N by B, which starts at 1E8, until a value great er than 1 is found. The flag FLG is set to one once this
value is found. This flag is used to eliminate any lead
ing zeros for inputs less than 9 digits long. Line 60 prints each digit, increments the SUM, and prints a plus sign after each digit except the last. Line
70 removes the most significant digit of the number and reduces the divisor B by a factor of ten. Then the pro
cess is repeated. After a maximum of nine digits have been processed, the equals sign and the SUM are printed. Here is a solution for the C-128 from Wallace Leeker (Lemay, MO):

people represent a "complete set" of traits with no over laps, and are therefore a valid couple. It turns out that
five couples can be formed, each with a complete set of traits. That leaves B and R unmatched, which can therefore be matched since they have no conflicting traits. Line 20 contains each person's initial followed by his traits. AS stores aJl traits. Each person's initial is stored as an element of SP$(1,X) and the corresponding traits are stored in SP$(2,X), where X is a number from 1 to 12. Line 40 fills SP$. Line 50 sums the ASCII values of the four traits. The loop from line 60 to line 90 adds the ASCII val ues of the traits of each person and stores the results in T(X).

MORE BASIC 128 By Shawn K. Smith Since
purchasing my first computer three years ago, I've learned and tutored several computer languages and can safely say that no language
contains every command a programmer could ever ask for, not even BASIC 7.0 on the 128. In fact, More BASIC 128 adds five (or is it six?) new commands to the 128 that I think should have been made a standard part
of the 128'a vocabulary: .VHELP, .DLIST, .DREAD,
.SEND provides a quick way of sending commands to the disk Operating system (DOS). Examples: .SEND "SO:filename" scratches a file, .SEND'"R0:newname= oldname" renames a file. .SEND"V0~ validates the disk, and .SEND"N0:diskname,id" news (formats) a disk. Re fer to your disk drive user's manual for a list of DOS commands.
.DABS displays the starting address of a file. Since most binary files are executed with a SYS lo ihc starting
.SEND. .DABS, and .USTOP. .VHELP displays the current values of all non-array variables in a program. This feature is a must for view

& Menu or disrupting the program in memory by enter ing BLOAD"MORE BASIC.ML": SYS5959. More BASIC 128 is stored in RAM from 5959-6495
($!796-$195F); therefore, no other data should be stored in this area. The utility also uses the RS-232 input buf
fer (SC00-SCFF) for the .DLIST command. More BASIC 128 works by wedging into the IERROR vector ($300-
$301).
I am sure that after you have used More BASIC 128 a few times you will agree that these commands should have been made a standard pan of BASIC 7.0. You will probably come up with other commands that you'll like to sec added to the 128. □ SEE PROGRAM LISTING ON PAGE 120

KERNAL ROUTINES The subroutine at $FFD2 is a Kernal routine called CHROUT or BSOUT. Look in your PRG for a descrip

Recall that our BASIC calling program loaded the Aregister with the value of the character to be printed. It also loaded the X and Y registers with the count of char acters to be printed. We saw that the STRING utility called SFFD2 X times initially, and then it performed
the nested X-Y loop Y times. Each execution of the nested X-Y loop called SFFD2 256 times as X was decremented from 255 to 0. Consequently the STRING utility prints

The JMP statement is one byte (S4C) followed by a two-byte address. If you look at the hexadecimal bytes for the BEQ and BNE (branch) instructions, you will see that they are each two-byte instructions. The second byte in a branch is an offset, not an address. For exam ple, the first BEQ instruction at address $1326 appears as:

The disassembler knows that SFO is a BEQ instruc tion. The S06 is added to the current memory address (which is now SI328 since the address is updated before

gram is called "relocatable" if it contains only relative
branching or branches only to fixed addresses, and if it does not directly address data. Indirect addressing of data is a topic for future discussion. To make the STRING program relocatable, we could simply eliminate the first eight bytes. (They arc there only for illustration anyway.) Other programs may or may not be easily relocated. You must analyze all jump instruc

AC 24 13
JMP $1324
The S4C means JMP. The S24 $13 is the actual address S1324 in "low byte-high byte" formal. Suppose you loaded this program into memory a! some address other than S131C. say SC000. When you tell the computer to execute this program ai $C0O0, the first, in-
struction of the program causes the computer to jump to address S1324. There is no telling what might reside
at $1324 if your program resides at $C000. Chances arc that the computer will get lost in some meaningless code, requiring you to restart the computer. On the other hand, suppose the program is moved so that the BEQ instruction described above resides at ad
dress $2000. The BEQ instruction still works fine. Why? Because the two bytes of the instruction, SFO S06 pro vide a relative, nol a fixed, branching address. When the computer reaches address $2000. it sees the
SFO and knows lo treat the next byte as a quantity to be added to the next instruction address. The next instruc tion address is $2002 (since the BEQ instruction is in
$2000 and $2001). The processor adds $06 to $2002 and branches (if the zero flag is set) to the instruction at ad dress S2OO8. The BEQ, BNE, and all other branch
tions as well as instructions which load, store, or oper ate on memory values. Generally those addresses must
be changed when the program is moved. The Flashy Windows program for the C-128 (see page 114) shows one way to use the STRING routine. You must
run String Loader to put the machine language program into memory before running Flashy Windows. C-64 users should modify String Loader as described above to relocate the program to address 49152 ($C0O0). The steps are 1. Change line 1000 to M=49152.
2. Change line 1030 to GOSUB 2050. 3. Change the second and third data bytes from 24.13 to 08,C0 and change the checksum in 1080 to 4526.
Use the program Screen Flash on page 114 as an exam ple for calling the STRING program on the C-64. Again String Loader must be run before Screen Flash will work. The procedure we have followed is typical of breaking into and relocating any machine language utility. If
STRING interferes with some of your other resident utili ties, you now know how to modify it (or them) to reside wherever you want. Make your computer work the way you want it to work. That is the true spirit of hacking. D SF.E PROGRAM LISTINGS ON PAGE 114

FLANKSPEED FOR THE C-64 By GORDON F. WHEAT Fkmkspeed will allow you to enter machine language Ahoy! programs without any mistakes. Once you have typed the program
in, save it lor future use. While entering an ML program with Flankspced there is no need to enter spaces or hit the carriage return. This is all done automatically. If you make an error in a line a bell will ring and you will he asked to enter it again.
To LOAD in a program Saved with Flankspeed use LOAD "name"U for tape, or LOAD "name",8,l for disk. The function keys may be used after the starting and ending addresses have been entered, fl —SAVEs what you have entered so far. f3-LOADs in a program worked on previously. i'5—To continue on a line you stopped on after LOADing in the previous saved w«rk.
f7-Scans through the program to locate a particular line, or to find oul where you stopped the lasl time you entered the program. t'7 temporarily freezes the output as well. ■100 P0KE53280.12:POKE53281,ll
