Your Ticket To The Best in Sports When was the last time you had the chance to attend a championship sporting event-or better yet, play in one? Gamestar's series of outstanding sports simu lations gives you that chance. Make the playoffs. Play in the final round at Pebble Beach. Fight the
heavyweight champ for the title.
Every Gamestar simulation is as real as the
sport itself, from gameplay to strategy to graphics. So winning the championship won't be easy. If it was, it wouldn't be worth it.
For the very best in sports-the excitement, the challenge, even the
championship-Gamestar is your ticket.

- TRUE - FALSE
FALSE AND TRUE

FALSE AND FALSE

As you can see, the only time the whole thing is true is when both parts are true. If the statement were IF A> = 10 OR A< = 20, then only one or the other (or both) would have to be true for the THEN to happen (as a matter of fact, this statement is always true; all numbers are either greater than W or less than 20).

The BASIC equivalent would be: 20 POKE 53265,PEEK(53Z65) OR 32
The ones act like the true statements, This is called a bit-wise AND. If you were to PRINT PEEK(53265), you might see the number 27 appear on the screen, so location 53265 holds the value 27. These numbers are expressed in decimal notation (base 10), a numbering system that arose because people have ten
fingers. Within a computer, however, it's easier io store numbers as binary (base 2! numbers. The only two binary numbers are 1 and 0, which might also be called on

the value 248 looks like this hi bina
ry: 11111000. Using a bit-wise AND makes the resulting bit 1 only if the corre sponding bits of both values being com pared are 1. So in the example you gave,
the value 248 masks out the three lower bits from location 53265. These bits will be 0 in the answer, while all the other bits will take on the appropriate bit values from location 53265. Let's say location 53265 had the value 17 (binary 00011011). ooonon

Why turn off individual bits? Within the memory of the 64 are a series of hard
ware registers which control the actions of the video chip, the interface chips, and various other chips. Some registers con trol a single function; location 53281 is a VIC chip register which determines the color of the screen, for example. But other registers, such as 53265, have several pur poses. Sometimes you need to change just one or two bits in a certain location, but
leave everything else the way it is. That's where bit-wise ANDing comes in. In location 53265, the lower three bits control vertical fine scrolling. AND

mand. It detects the first collision be tween two sprites; all subsequent
collisions are ignored. I have enclosed a listing of my program.
James R. Rudolph COLLISION is a rather unusual com mand. It's best described as a delayed GOSUB command. It puts the 128 in a state where, if a collision occurs, the computer finishes whatever command it is execut ing and then executes a GOSUB to the subroutine that handles collisions. In your program, the COLLISION1,3100 state
ment tells the computer to GOSUB 3100 whenever two sprites bump into each other. Because it's a GOSUB that starts the routine, the section that handles collisions should end with a RETURN. By the way,
it's not necessary to turn off the COLLI SION routine while the subroutine is working, just be sure to end it with a RE TURN (not a GOTO).
Copy-Protection Blues I have a 1571 disk drive for my 64. I re cently wanted to purchase a commercial program, which was marked "for the 1541 only" on the box. The store owner

I have an MSD dual disk drive ! use with the 64. Several software compa nies write software that apparently will
64. They will not load from other disk drives. This can be attributed to the copy protection scheme that many software companies add to their disks. The main purpose of copy protection is to prevent
users from making copies of commercial software. Copyright laws make it illegal to copy and distribute books, songs, com
puter programs, and other creative works without permission from the author. To prevent illegal copying, software companies often modify programs to make them difficult to copy. There are a variety of ways to protect softwareâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;adding disk sectors, introducing errors (which the software checks for) on the disk, using un documented machine language op-codes, reprogramming the disk drive, and so on. Very often, a program that employs copy protection will not load and run on any disk drive other than the 1541 or a perfect duplicate of the 1541. A disk-drive manufacturer could make an exact copy of the 1541 (including the ROM code inside),
but that, in itself, would be illegal because the DOS that runs the 1541 is a program covered by copyright. So disk-drive manu
facturers create work-alikes, drives that do the same thing as a 1541 without using the same program to control the drive. If a copy-protected program depends on a cer
tain routine located at a certain memory address inside the 1541, it probably won't work on a non-1541 drive. And there's not much you can do to change the program.
Vicious Protection I recently had a puzzling problem with
my Commodore 128. I was using a database program in 64 mode. The pro gram disk and data disk had each been used a number of times. I'm not sure which key I pressed,
but suddenly the screen went white and displayed large letters reading CRASH. There's no reference to CRASH in my user's manual. What does it mean? Subsequent efforts to load data
from the data disk resulted in a re sponse of no data found. Loading the directory displays a disk named "PI RATE" 01 2A with 664 blocks free.
What the heck is the significance of this message?

The dynamic keyboard technique is what you need. On the 64, memory loca tion 198 keeps track of how many keys have been pressed (up to ten characters), and locations 631-640 hold the ASCII val ues. To put the line into memory, add the
grams and sequential data files, respec
tively. Another fairly common file type is REl, which contains information in a rel ative (random access) file. Once in a while, you'll also see a USR file. USR files usually hold programs or data, and once in a while they'll hold a program that runs inside the disk drive's memory. The fifth file type, which you'll al most never see is DEL (for DELeted files). Note that this is not the same as a
scratched file. To create a DEL file, run the following program: 10 OPEN 2,8,2,"HELLO,S,W" 20 OPEN 3,8,3,"HELLO,S,W" 30 PRINT#2: PRINT#3
40 CLOSE2: CLOSE3

In the September "Gazette Feedback,"
you explained that loading a longer program from a shorter one could cause problems. Well, I've come across that problem and was interested when you said that it could be solved by POKEing to memory locations 45 and 46 at the
beginning of the first (shorter) program. However, you forgot to tell what num bers to POKE there. Could you please give me the numbers to put there? Glen Pitrman
There's no single answer to your question;
it depends on the lengths of the two pro grams. Load the short program and type this:
POKE 631,19: POKE 632,13: POKE 198,2. This instructs the computer that
{HOME} and RETURN—CHRSfl9) and CHR$(13)—have been pressed- The POKE to 198 indicates that two keys have been pressed. Finally, END the program. Your 64 will think that {HOME) and RETURN have been pressed and will add the line to the program.
If you'd like to run the program again
after the line has been added to memory, just add another 13 to the keyboard buffer (POKE 633,13) and put a 3 into 198 in stead of a 2. Plus, you'll have to print RUN a couple of lines below the new line 190.
PRINT PEEK(45t, PEEK(46), PEEKI45)
You'll see three numbers, the values
in 45 and 46, plus the memory location that these numbers point to, which hap
pens to be the end of the BASIC program
and the beginning of variables. Now load the second (larger) program and type the
same line. The third number should be larger than before. At the beginning of the first (short) program, add a line that reads POKE
45,x: POKE46,y: CLR where x and y are
the numbers from the larger program. There's a small chance that the two pro
grams are very close to the same size and
that adding the two POKEs will make the first program larger than the second, just to be safe, type the PRINT PEEK line one more time. If the third number is still smaller than the third number from the
larger program, then you're in good shape. If the first program is now longer, replace
the tine containing the POKEs with a
REM and 30-40 characters (it doesn't
matter what they are; maybe you could

Adding New Program Lines
COMPUTEI's Gazette
December 1986
The computer will add the line to memory, and then you'll have to press RE TURN over the RUN command, which
will restart the program. Some program mers prefer to print the characters in the
same color as the screen by executing
POKE 646, PEEK(53281) before the dy namic keyboard technique is used, just to
make the screen look a little neater.
A Fifth File Type I was reading my disk-drive manual and discovered that by changing the di rectory load command, 1 could list just certain file types. For example, to load only SEQ or PRG file types, you could type
LOAD "$0;* = S",B LOAD"$0:' = P",8
Of the choices given, one was D for deleted files. The above examples worked, but when I tried using a D, it loaded the regular directory. Why doesn't this work? Dallas Plattsmeier Most Commodore owners have seen PRC and SEQ files, which usually contain pro
They're available, but don't really serve Also, we tried LOAD"S0:*=D",8 and it didn't seem to pick up deleted files,
although 5 and P did work with SEQ and PRG files.
Memory Locations And Ports 1 was wondering if you could give me
the memory locations for the user port, the cartridge expansion port, the cas sette port, the serial port, the composite
video connector, and the RGBI connec tor for the 128, so that I may use them in a program. Jason Grizzle
There are basically three types of memory inside your 128: random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), and registers that control the actions of sup port chips. RAM can be changed; you can
PEEK it to see what's there or POKE it to change the number in memory. You can only PEEK ROM. If you try to POKE to a ROM location, its value will remain the same and, on the 64 and 128, another
memory location will be changed in the RAM "underneath" the ROM.
Chip registers act as if they're RAM,
You can usually PEEK and POKE them (except the SID chip), but they're not memory in the sense that RAM and ROM are memory. For example, the POKE that turns on the hi-res screen doesn't really
change a memory location; it writes a val ue to a register inside the VIC chip, which changes its internal state to switch screen output to hi-res. The SID chip is unusual
because you can POKE to various regis
ters, but if you PEEK, the values will often
differ from the number you POKEd.
Most of the ports you've asked about, the various connectors on the back of the computer, aren't directly addressable as memory locations. The input and output
ports are controlled by various I/O chips within the computer.

The composite video port puts out three signals: chroma, tuma, and audio. To change the audio output, you must
POKE to the SID chip which is in charge of music and sound. To change chroma,
you POKE lo color memory and to the var ious color registers within the VIC chip that define multicolors and sprite colors. To change luma, POKE to screen memory and/or character memory (if you're using
custom characters) or to hi-res memory (in hi-res mode) or sprite shapes, wherever they may be at the time. The RGBI port's output is in the ju
risdiction of the VDC chip, to which you can POKE to affect what's happening on the 80-column screen. The user port can be addressed as de vice 2. It's most often used for connecting
a modem, although you can attach print ers and other devices there. You would OPEN 2,2 (plus various secondary ad dresses and additional information), then PRINT&2 to send a signal and 1NPUT#2 or GET#2 to retrieve data. The cassette port is device 1. The se rial port can control devices 4-255 (usually printers or disk drives). You can OPEN a channel to either of these and
then INPUT* and GET# to read; PRINT* to write. The cartridge port can be treated as memory starting at either $8000 or SCOQO (in both 64 and 128 modes). To create your
own cartridge, you need something called
BASIC from ROM to RAM to make changes in the BASIC interpreter itself. These changes last until power is turned off or until RUN /STOP-RESTORE is pressed. The operating system (locations 57344-65535) also has RAM underneath it. There's no easy way to link the RAM
at 49152 to the BASIC RAM because there's something in the way—BASIC it self. BASIC assumes that it is using con tiguous memory—memory that's not broken up into segments. It's possible to store things in this area using the POKE statement, but beware—many machine language programs (like the DOS Wedge)
put themselves into this "safe" area.

shows, just about any sport, from bowling and boxing to football and tennis, can be the subject of a simu lation game. Sports strategy games for the Commodore 64 have often evolved from earlier board games in much the same manner as the computer ized war games. With baseball and football fans eager to recreate their favorite teams and seasons, the strategy games in these two areas
have fared especially well. SubLOGIC's Football and the new Pure-Stat Baseball, Epyx's The World's Greatest Baseball Game, and Gamestar/Activision's Champion ship Baseball '86 are just a few of the popular sports simulations. Although new simulations— realtime, historical, and sports— crop up every day. Commodore
owners always seem ready for one more good program in their particu lar areas of interest. Other topics haven't generated as much enthusi asm in the Commodore market as
these three. But with an installed base of several million 64s and 128s, there are likely to be new categories and topics available in the future. (B

Introducing ActionSoft!
MMilluyffigg
Colonel Jack Declares War to Improve Strategy/Action Software
Colonel Jack Rosenow, President of ActionSoft Corporation, is out to turn the simulation software industry upside down:
"Most current simulations are little more than games," says the Colonel. "They're a far cry from what can be done with modern state-of-the-art
graphics technology. They have limited strategic depth and a limited sense of realism. That's why ActionSoft Corporation was created. We're going to redefine the state of the art in simulation software.
Colonel Jack Rosenow, USAF
(Ret)
"My own area of expertise is military helicopters - their flight characteristics,
and their deployment on the battlefield. We've assembled a collection of experts in other fields (combat strategists, fighter pilots, submarine commanders) to help us develop the most realistic strategy/action simula tions ever seen.
■■ActionSoft puts you at the center of the action. We take you from the depths of the Pacific ocean to the infinite frontiers of space. And with the incredible
3D graphics/animation technology provided by SubLOGIC, our products draw you into the simulation like never before. Up to now this type of realism has been available only on the most expensive military simulators. We're making it available to everyone.
!"Our first product is Up Periscope!, a WWII fleet class submarine simulator
for Commodore 64/128 and Apple II computers. Up Periscope! is available for the suggested retail price of $29.95.
"Next up is Thunder-Chopper, a high-performance scout/rescue/attack
helicopter simulator. ThunderChopper is also available for the C64/128 and

Apple II computers for $29.95."
Colonel Jack Declares War on Inflated Software Prices
"My motto has always been 'Better Quality at a Better Price'. ActionSoft
simulations are generations ahead in strategy, action, and technology. And at $29.95, they're also priced less than the competition.
"Why pay more for a second-rate simulation when you can have the best for less? ActionSoft simulation software sets the new price/performance
standard against which all other simulations must now be judged. But don't just take my word for it. Try ActionSoft - you'll be convinced." Colonel Jack's 9000-plus hours of flight time are put to good use in the development of Thunder-

DEALER INQUIRIES INVITED
PRINT And INPUT
Larry Cotton
Before we get back to experiment ing with the PRINT statement, let's take a brief look at the NEW com mand. When you type NEW and press RETURN, you're telling the

one." Without this command,
semicolon yields entirely different results. The messages are printed continuously without spaces. Let's assign some string vari ables and print them. Type NEW, then this:
you'd have to turn off the computer to start working on a new program. NEW should be typed only when you're sure you want to erase the program in memory. If you're not sure, but you still want to start a new program, just save the old one to tape or disk.
I also promised last month that we'd clear up a few aspects of the PRINT statement which were left hanging. The first concerns the way things are arranged on the screen.
This depends on how PRINT state ments are punctuated.
Punctuating PRINT There are four ways to punctuate the end of a PRINT statement— with a comma, semicolon, a colon, or with no punctuation at all. First
let's start with no punctuation.
Type this: 10 20 30 40
PRINT"ABCDEFGHI" PRINT"ABCDEFGHI" PRINT"ABCDEFGHI" PRINT"ABCDEFGHI"
There are nine letters in each string. Run this program and ob serve the results. Next, add a com

A and B are numeric, not string, variables. They can have a maximum of seven numerals each (eight for the VIC-20) in order to be printed in adjacent columns be cause Commodore BASIC puts a space (or a negative sign if the num

now, let's concentrate on a BASIC

anything that's printable—letters, symbols, most punctuation, even numbers, although they're treated just like a string of letters; you can't perform any math operations on them. INPUT also requires one more

single byte. Then it moves on to the next cell. If any cell fails the test, the program reports the address of that cell and stops.
Now let's modify the program
a bit. Let's make it more friendly by adding a message at the start of the program and, to show that it's mak ing progress through the test, let's
have it print a dot onscreen each
time it completes a page, a 256byte-long unit of memory. Here's the original program from last month (for the Commo dore 128 or 64): 10000 LDA

ously, the increment value is de pendent upon the size of the values to be graphed, so the routine prompts you to set the increment

Setting the right incre ment value means that all balances are displayed as bars using the smallest increment value possible. In our example, the best graph is made by setting the increment val ue to 11, but try other values to see
what happens. Feel free to change the numbers in the DATA state ments to see the effects. This routine has made my home-budget program more useful by changing it from a mere record

// you use graph paper rather than a spritedesigner program, this short program will prove handy. It prints out custom graphs for designing sprites. For the Commodore 64 with a Commodore or compatible printer. Once a sprite has been designed, it's easy to manipu late. A simple BASIC loop can send your sprite flying across the screen. But designing a sprite well can be a
chore. There are many sprite editors available, but if you don't have one handy, you must design your sprite on graph paper, or—worse yet—notebook paper. If you need to create a lot of sprites, this can be very timeconsuming. "Sprite Graph," a short BASIC program
that accompanies this article, prints out crisp, clean sprite graphs on your Commodore or compatible printer. C-12& THICKS & TIPS

After loading and running the program, you're asked how many graphs you want printed. Depending on your printer and the length of the paper, you can fit
an average of three graphs per page. If you wish to stop printing a graph, press and hold the RUN/STOP-RE

a sort, use "Quicksort." This program is written entire ly in machine language for maxi
mum speed. It sorts any array of strings. Each element of the array may be up to 80 characters long.
Typing It In Because Quicksort (Program 1) is
written entirely in machine lan guage, it must be entered using the "128 MLX" machine language en try program found elsewhere in this
issue. Be sure to read the instruc tions for using MLX before you be gin entering data. When you run
MLX, you'll be asked for a starting and an ending address for the data you'll be entering. The correct val
ues for Quicksort are as follows: Starling address:
1300
Ending address:
17D7
After you've entered all the data, be sure to save a copy before leaving MLX. To use the Quicksort routine, you must first load the program with a statement of the form BLOAD "QUICKSORT" (substitute
whatever filename you used when you saved the program). After di
statement: SYS 4864,,,,,N,AA$(N1)
The five commas after the 4864 are necessary because of the 128's ver satile SYS command. The commas bypass SYS parameters that Quick sort doesn't need. Of course, you don't have to use the same variable names I used, and numbers may be
used instead of the variables N and Nl. After the SYS command is exe cuted, the array items are sorted in ascending order starting with
AA$(N1). Quicksort sorts arrays contain
ing thousands of items in a matter of seconds. But for maximum speed, use the FAST command before be ginning the sort. If you're running your program in 40-column mode, the FAST command blanks the screen until the SLOW command is executed. FAST doesn't disable the
80-column screen. Here's an ex ample of using FAST to speed
stored the Quicksort machine lan guage under the name SORT 128 .OBJ. If you used some other name
when you saved the file with MLX, substitute the proper name in that
line. Make sure a copy of the Quick sort file is on a disk in your drive
when you run the program. This program shows the speed of the
routine. Here are some typical sort ing times: 10 s[rings 100 strings 1000 strings
.067 seconds .833 seconds 12.083 seconds
Don't try to specify more than about 4000 elements for the array when using Program 2. If you do, you'll probably crash the program with an OUT OF MEMORY error message.
A Safety Test Besides the area needed to store the machine language program ($1300$17D1), this routine uses very little memory. The actual amount it needs depends on the number of el
ements it's sorting. It needs only about 120 bytes to sort an array of 1000 strings. The memory used is
borrowed from the variable storage area while the sorting is done. Your BASIC program will never know
that it was used. However, if your variables are using all of the nearly 64K of variable space (which is very
unusual), then there may not be enough memory available to do the sort. Every time it executes, Quick sort sets a flag which your program may check to determine the success
of the sort. After the SYS command

s (sustain, 0-15) is the volume level a note holds from the end of the de cay phase until the beginning of the
release phase. In the cases where the value of s is 0 (piano, harpsi chord, and xylophone), the volume decays completely to a zero volume level. Notes played in these enve lopes have a staccato quality (stac cato is a musical term indicating a series of notes in which each note is discontinued abruptly before the
phase in the duration of a note, and it follows the sustain phase. The
value of r determines the rate at which the volume drops from the sustain level to zero volume. Note that r is preset to either 0 or 1 in all
of the default envelopes. This means that the release occurs rather rapidly, and there is a good reason
always to set r to a low value in mu sical programs. If a note is followed by another specified for the same voice, the SID chip will turn off the first note and switch to the next at the specified moment. If, however, a note is not followed by another, the SID turns off the last note ac cording to the value of r for its spe

by the 128. The SID chip is capable of generating sounds of four wave
forms: triangle (wf = 0), sawtooth (wf = 1), pulse (wf = 2), and noise
(wf = 3). The triangle waveform sounds warm and muted (calliope, flute, xylophone). The sawtooth

Woodbury Software has introduced the PlayWriter series, a line of new writing programs that entertain you as well as give you practice writing. This series, which includes the two packages re viewed here—Mystery! and Castles and Creatures—leads you step by step in creating a short murder mystery or me dieval fantasy. With the materials pro vided, you can print your story on special paper, illustrate it with stickers
and pictures, and bind it into a fullcolor hard cover. Presto! You've pro duced your first book. Actually, as PlayWriter's manual wisely advises, you're able to write sev eral stories with each program. These can be saved to disk and/or printed out on regular printer paper. You can then choose your favorite to publish. PlayWriter's technique is to guide you by asking questions. In some cases it offers you choices such as: "The hero
of your story is a brilliant young detec tive. Do you want this detective to be a: (1) she? (2) he?" Other times it asks you
to provide a few sentences to fulfill a
of a wait when loading segments,
PlayWriter asks you riddles to pass the
time.
You edit your story chapter by chapter in a word processor mode. You may do this as you write or after the whole story is finished. When you're through, you may print it onto printer paper or, if you're ready, on the booklet paper provided. If you don't have a printer, Woodbury will print your story
on PlayWriter paper for a fee. Refill packs are available so that you may make more than one book.
PlayWriter's manual is one of the best short manuals I've ever seen. It's full of helpful hints and advice such as telling you exactly how many stories will fit on the master disk or on a disk dedicated only to stories. It provides clear examples of what you'll encounter in the program, including a list of the
editing commands, their purposes and keystrokes. It anticipates questions and problems you may have and speaks to
them clearly and succinctly. It illus trates how to put the book together.

this manual to me was for the problem of master disk errors: Call Woodbury. That kind of technical support is much appreciated. The printing selections include just
about every possibility you could de-
sire, from printing to your screen to printing on plain paper to printing on the booklet paper. It even offers the op tion of telling you if a paragraph is too long for booklet printing. Mystery! and Castles and Creatures sometimes seem slow, even with an as
sist from aids like FastLoad. It takes time for these programs to move around all the text they have to handle, The word processor, especially the editor, is cum
bersome. Having worked with regular word processing programs, it took a while to get used to this one. And switching disks when your story is not on the master disk can be awkward. A warning on switching disks: Some sto
ries can be saved on the master disk. "Change story disk" must be selected
before any other command when your story is on another disk; otherwise,
you'll find yourself working on—or worse, deleting—the wrong story. The manual mentions this, but a reminder in the menu would be a big help. Only full stories can be deleted, not chapters.
If you don't like what you've written, you have to start over. Back to our English teachers' direc tive: "Write." Of what use are programs like Mystery! and Castles and Creatures? They provide a guide, an outline that coaxes you into writing. This outline draws parameters that limit you in length and content, yet leave you enough creative freedom to write your own story. You determine how much the computer does or does not do. In

editing, you can rewrite entire chapters if you wish. Writing within limitations
can be good discipline. Perfecting your ability to do that will help make you a good writer. For those who are so intimi dated by the idea of writing they can't think of ideas and thus never start, the PlayWriter series is a beginning, a dooropener. Whatever your age, whatever
the reason you wish to develop your writing skills, or even if you just want to
have fun, Mystery! and Castles and Crea tures provide delightful writing practice. —Robin Minnick

ful for writing in a language requiring many diacriticals, such as Vietnamese.
Fontmaster II provides a great deal of versatility in other aspects of creating text. It's not necessary to decide when opening a file how many lines will be needed. Each file saved remembers which fonts were used, so after reload ing a file, one need only type CONTROL-D followed by an N (for "fonts
needed") to load them automatically. Fonts can be changed at any time. A text file can normally be up to 539 lines, or about 16 double-spaced pages long. Also, any font slots not used can be
freed for 48 lines of additional text each. There is a formatter for chaining files together if this is not sufficient. CON TROL-? will inform the user how many bytes and lines of text remain available. The constant screen display provides this information in terms of the percent age of memory available. It's also possible to print in up to four columns, to print form letters—re trieving variable data such as names and addresses from previously created sequential files, or to set the output for single-sheet printing. The RUN/STOP key is used as a helpful "panic button"
that will abort printing and any other command. The program provides an 8094

Vizastar 128 There's nothing quite like Vizastar 128 tor the Commodore 128: a powerful -ind flexible integrated spreadsheet, database, and graphics program. Each application, if available sepa rately, would be a good solid program. Together they offer the home and small
business user a unique and powerful planning and reporting tool whose ca pabilities offer the maximum in flexibil ity. For instance, a salesman could set
up an invoice form on his spreadsheet, include formula cells within the form to automatically calculate amounts, and produce invoices by drawing relevant
portions of his customer database into the invoice form. Once through with his invoices, he could produce a sum mary of sales for the month in graphic form. All of this is accomplished with out switching between two or three dif
ferent programs. The Vizastar 128 package comes with a disk and a cartridge to plug into
the user port. Since the cartridge acts as the program's copy protection, the disk is unprotected and may be backed up using normal copy programs. Also in cluded with the program is an excellent manual that, in extremely organized
and detailed fashion, explains the pro gram's commands and features. A brief
tutorial booklet is also provided to get you quickly into the program. However,

Ultimate Wizard In the race for better and better com puter games, some software designers
seem to have moved away from the quick-reflex action games that did so much to launch the personal computer
industry and the Commodore 64. But one point may be lost in this move ment: Arcade games can be a lot of fun.
Ultimate Wizard is one such game. Like most arcade games, its line of descent is
clear, from Donkey Kong through jump-
man through Lode Runner. In fact, part of its charm is its instant payability: Just load it, watch the prompts, and start playing. The instructions are short and mostly unnecessary, as arcade in structions should be. In the Commo
dore 64 version, the instructions can be read as the game is loading.
In Ultimate Wizard, you control a small wizard, who jumps and climbs
his way through the dungeons of Kaytel. Each dungeon occupies one screen, with treasures you must pick up and
dangers you must avoid. The object in all the dungeons is to find a key and take it to the keyhole. Once you do this, you enter the next dungeon. By collect ing as many treasures as possible and getting through the dungeon quickly,
you gain additional points. It's not nec essary, unlike some games, to collect all
the treasures before leaving the current dungeon. Finding the key, however,
often depends on collecting specific treasures.
The opening screen allows you to
opt for a demonstration, playing the game, or creating your own screen. For some reason, the designers have elect

The Roots Of Learning
Fred D'lgnazio Associate Editor Last summer my children—Catie,
ten, and Eric, seven—had two re markably different learning experi ences. Catie traveled widely and went to a variety of summer camps, including computer camp, 4-H camp, mythology camp, and space camp. Meanwhile, Eric stayed home and went to summer school to boost his reading and math skills. Catie had a wonderful sum mer. Eric, in the words of his teach ers, "cried a lot" and was "moody." Looking at my children's sum mer experiences, I can't help noticing
the contrast in the way they were expected to learn. Catie spent her summer learning new skills through
real-world experiences and simula tions. At space camp, for example, she spent an entire week "training" in astronomy, water survival, com

The Automatic Proofreader Philip I. Nelson, Assistant Editor "The Automatic Proofreader" helps
you type in program listings for the 128, 64, Plus/4, 16, and VIC-20 and prevents nearly every kind of typing
mistake. Type in the Proofreader exactly as
listed. Since the program can't check it self, type carefully to avoid mistakes. Don't omit any lines, even if they con tain unfamiliar commands. After finish ing, save a copy or two on disk or tape before running it. This is important be
cause the Proofreader erases the BASIC portion of itself when you run it, leav ing only the machine language portion in memory.
Next, type RUN and press RE TURN. After announcing which com puter it's running on, the Proofreader displays the message "Proofreader Active". Now you're ready to type in a BASIC program.
Every time you finish typing a line and press RETURN, the Proofreader
displays a two-letter checksum in the upper-left corner of the screen. Com pare this result with the two-letter checksum printed to the left of the line in the program listing. If the letters match, it's almost certain the line was typed correctly. If the letters don't
match, check for your mistake and cor rect the line.
The Proofreader ignores spaces not enclosed in quotes, so you can omit or
add spaces between keywords and still see a matching checksum.
However,
since spaces inside quotes are almost al ways significant, the Proofreader pays attention to them. For example, 10 PRINT'THIS IS BASIC" will generate a different checksum than 10 PRINT'THIS ISBA
SIC".
A common typing error is transpo
sition—typing two successive charac ters in the wrong order, like PIRNT instead of PRINT or 64378 instead of 64738. The Proofreader is sensitive to the position of each character within the
line and thus catches transposition errors.
The Proofreader does not accept
keyword abbreviations (for example, ? instead of PRINT). If you prefer to use abbreviations, you can still check the line by LISTing it after typing it in,
moving the cursor back to the line, and 124

pressing RETURN. LISTing the line
20
substitutes the full keyword for the ab breviation and allows the Proofreader to work properly. The same technique
works for rechecking programs you've already typed in. If you're using the Proofreader on the Commodore 128, Plus/4, or 16, do
not perform any GRAPHIC commands while the Proofreader is active. When you perform a command like GRAPH IC 1, the computer moves everything at the start of BASIC program space—in cluding the Proofreader—to another memory area, causing the Proofreader to crash. The same thing happens if you run any program with a GRAPHIC command while the Proofreader is in

may already have wondered whether the Proofreader works with other pro gramming utilities like "MetaBASIC." The answer is generally yes, {[you're using a 64 and activate the Proofreader after installhig the other utility. For ex ample, first load and activate Meta

\y|| Y Machine Language Entry Program
/VILA. For Commodore 64 and 128
Ottis R. Cowper, Technical Editor'
"MLX" is a labor-saving utility that allows almost fail-safe entry of machine language programs. Included are versions for the Commodore 64 and 126. Type in and save some copies of which
ever version of MLX is appropriate for your computer (you'll want to use it to
enter future ML programs from COMPUTEI's GAZETTE). Program 1 is for the Commodore 64, and Program 2 is for the 128 (128 MLX can also be used to
enter Commodore 64 ML programs for use in 64 mode). When you're ready to enter an ML program, load and run
MLX. It asks you for a starting address and an ending address. These addresses appear in the article accompanying the MLX-format program listing you're typing.
If you're unfamiliar with machine language, the addresses (and all other values you enter in MLX) may appear
strange. Instead of the usual decimal numbers you're accustomed to, these numbers are in hexadecimal—a base 16 numbering system commonly used by ML programmers. Hexadecimal—hex for short—includes the numerals 0-9 and the letters A-F. But don't worry— even if you know nothing about ML or hex, you should have no trouble using MLX.
After you enter the starting and ending addresses, you'!! be offered the option of clearing the workspace. Choose this option if you're starting to enter a new listing. If you're continuing a listing that's partially typed from a previous session, don't choose this option.
A functions menu will appear. The first option in the menu is ENTER DATA. If you're just starting to type in a program, pick this. Press the E key, and type the first number in the first tine of the program listing. !f you've al ready typed in part of a program, type the line number where you left off typ
ing at the end of the previous session (be sure to load the partially completed program before you resume entry). In any case, make sure the address you en ter corresponds to the address of a line in the listing you are entering. Other wise, you'll be unable to enter the data correctly. If you pressed E by mistake, you can return to the command menu by pressing RETURN alone when asked for the address. (You can get back to the menu from most options by pressing RETURN with no other input.)
64 MLX Keypad
Entering A Listing Once you're in Enter mode, MLX prints
the address for each program line for you. You then type in all nine numbers on that line, beginning with the first two-digit number after the colon (:). Each line represents eight data bytes

It's much easier to let MLX do the proof reading and error checking for you.) When you enter a line, MLX recal culates the checksum from the eight

buzz. To simplify typing, 128 MLX re defines the function keys and + and keys on the numeric keypad so that you can enter data one-handed. (The 64 version incorporates the keypad modi fication from the March 1986 "BugSwatter" column, lines 485-487.) In either case, the keypad is active only while entering data. Addresses must be entered with the normal letter and number keys. The figures below show
the keypad configurations for each version.
MLX checks for transposed charac ters. If you're supposed to type in AO and instead enter OA, MLX will catch
your mistake. There is one error that

can slip past MLX: Because of the checksum formula used, MLX won't notice if you accidentally type FF in
place of 00, and vice versa. And there's a very slim chance that you could gar
ble a line and still end up with a combi nation of characters that adds up to the
proper checksum. However, these mis takes should not occur if you take rea sonable care while entering data.
Editing Features To correct typing mistakes before fin ishing a line, use the INST/DEL key to delete the character to the left of the cursor. (The cursor-left key also de
letes.) If you mess up a line really badly, pressCLR/HOME to start the line over. The RETURN key is also active, but
only before any data is typed on a line. Pressing RETURN at this point returns you to the command menu. After you type a character of data, MLX disables RETURN until the cursor returns to the
start of a line. Remember, you can press CLR/HOME to quickly get to a line COMPUTED Gazette

when correcting lines in which MLX has detected an error. To make correc tions in a line that MLX has redisplayed for editing, compare the line on the screen with the one printed in the list ing, then move the cursor to the mis take and type Ihe correct key.

Display Data The second menu choice, DISPLAY DATA, examines memory and shows the contents in the same format as the program listing (including the check sum). When you press D, MLX asks you
for a starting address. Be sure that the
starting address you give corresponds
to a line number in the listing. Other wise, the checksum display will be
meaningless. MLX displays program lines until it reaches the end of the pro gram, at which point the menu is redis
played. You can pause the display by pressing the space bar. (MLX finishes printing the current line before halting.) Press space again to restart the display.
To break out of the display and get back to the menu before the ending address is reached, press RETURN.
Other Menu Options Two more menu selections let you save programs and load them back into the
computer. These are SAVE FILE and LOAD FILE; their operation is quite straightforward. When you press S or L, MLX asks you for the filename. You'll then be asked to press either D or T to

messages and feel certain that you've loaded the right file, exit and rerun MLX, being careful to enter the correct starting and ending addresses.
