It is a BASIC progra1 Mith aachine language routines for all ti ■e critical processing, requiring 48K af RA"• Following is a su1Nry of its capabilities: 11 Load and save full-screen graphics disk files.

Disk directory access is provided. 2) Add text in default colors 1 thru 3. Text uy be added in "Add• or "Replace• 10des, with separate Midth and height options. 3) Exchange colors (color O=tolor 3, color l=color 2), 41 Shade any of the four colors sepMately, Mith four patterns available. Shilling consists of replacing the selected color with color Opattern, ncept shading color 0 adds color 3 pattern, 51 Flip (invert! and 1irror screen ie1ary (useful for generating different attidudes of ICONs, ste below!. 61 Add grid to the graphics screen to provide coordinates far locating editing tasks, 7l All cha.'lges go to the tuporary scren 1110ry buffer tSCl , and are transferred ta a per1anent buffer (5$1 under keyin control. 8) Print graphics using Epson RX-BO printer (the docu1ent on disk tells Nhich 2 pragra■ lines have printer specific code!. Print options are print colors 1-3, only color 3, or colors 1,2. Afeature to change the graphics screen colors 1,2 to 3 uy be used to see what a print colors 1-3 i1age will look like. In addition to the above functions, the following partial screen IICONl capabilities are provided. The basic ICON function is the ability to lift off any part (all colors or only color 31 af the current graphics screen lup to 90+? of the screen areal. The uses of this are several, as follows: Hold part of a picture while a screen function is An ICON 1ay be held in the ICON buffer while the screen buffer is reloaded with another picture or · changed with any of the screen editing coa■ands. In fact, up to 10 !CONs 1ay be in the ICON buffer at any one ti1e, as long as the su1 of their areas does not exceed the 90+1 of screen 1axi1u1. 2l An ICON may be put back to the screen buffer in 'Add" of "Replace• iodes, and optionally enlarged (separate ~idth and height parameters). 31 An ICON 1ay be rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. The rotated ICON is a new ICON of area equal to 1!

Thi Ylll hive betn terrific and shauld put IIAST in the bl1ti and earning IOIIY towards I club Dltfted ST. Tht high nuaitr of disk saln is a rtflactiaa of tht value at tht disks, and tht uaunt af ti11 and energy Jia Schult puts int11 it. Texans .; lie now havt 2 ltlbers fraa Tua thanks ta an 1rticlt I 11rat1 far th1 311 ca111ut1r club n1111letttr. Baa Boren and Htnry Kubicelt af Br1111111100d, Tna are tht first (aad prallibly not tht last> MST· IHbers fra out af sbte. They art buying the DOit's even though they don't yet 0111 ST's (I think they're 11itinq an th1 1040's). Yalwarld &azette - Tht •Yalllarld Gazette• is 1 biaanthl y publication that has betn around far ayer 2 ye~s. They --~ supporting the Epson Ql-10 co11111ter only, until n-.

But, it will praialliy iaprDYt grutly aver the next f11t issues. !tac Enlitor - This is ant af those gaod n1111 1Rd bad ne11 situ1tians. Tht goad n1111 is that Data Pid.fic has . developed the "llac c.rtridge• far L 111Jibyt1 101achraae ST's. The bad n1111 is that it actually usn th■ Apple ROJI obtained fraa servia centers..

But even aar1 iapartantly, it has the ability ta read DIF (data interch1nge faraat) files. This aeans that t c:an finally (and easily> convert 1y rather large SynFile+· databases ta the ST since bath pragraas support DIF. Dan 1nyane else knaN of Database proqr111s for the ST that support DIF file transfers? if sa, let us kno• at the neting.

The last ltAST aeeting Nas held Friday, Karch 21, 1996. Then 1t1s ilat of 1 Ntt1s/R1110rs 1 • Here are the highlights: Tht Rmts are here and alaast everyone has thet installed 1lready. The 10405Ts are in California noN and should be available locally by the end of K1rch. Thare will be a nett version af TOS in ROM available by the end af s1111er. The CP" e■ulator should be an hand saan - it •ill run Nordstar md Microsoft BASIC. Tht !IS-DOS e111latar that is.~eing developed features an BOBB processor + 5121< an board RAK. It will run Latus and Sy■phany, a1ong others. The price will be around $200 ~itbaut the 5.25• drive. The na 'bit-blitter• chip being developed will use a daugnter board far installation. The nn Ul60 that Nil shipped with the RO"'s is faster than tht original LOSO. A wild rulOf' is. that Aliga is working an an ST e1ulator and that Aliga is rt-teriting their operating systu froa scratch. Sonane is warki ng on a 4 1egabyte up9rade (where •i 11 ·it end?). Activision bought Infacoa. VIP IRli Shanner are still feuding. Alat of Unix type products are an tht •av, saae with IUltitasking capabiliti11. The TT 32 bit 1achine will likely be shown as a ST add-on at tht Hanover, West Sermany shaN in April. .

~att Hutchinson will be the ftAST secretary beqinning Ji• Schulz 1ade 4 a111ing d1sks-of-the-1anth, plus a special disk an artificial intelligence. Ji ■ palled 111bars an their pref!!rence af picture disks for future release. Asquee:ed format will probably be used. Bab Floyd requested 1e1bers Nith ANALOG ■agazine subscriptions ta register with hia so that •e can get a club disk subscription in the future at a reduced rate. · The BBS at ftindtools is up and running (542-e9BO> and is available to KAST 1e1bers. User Friendly also has a BBS (786-2458). ltAST 1abers are also welcome. Wizard's Nork is nOlt an authcrized ST service center. User Friendly is also authorized. Deao's included an extensive laak at the disk af the ■anth by Ji1 Schulz. Afantastic beta copy of Joust was on one the disks. Tadd Burkey af Kindtaals shewed ~icro C-Shell, a Unix-like shell over TDS. !tallows one to run pragraas, rena1e files, etc. in auch the same ••Y as Unix.

APRIL,

Disk af the "onth - April 6y 7:111 Schulz After four disks last aanth, the big question is ho•· can I top that?? . This ■onth so far pulllic doaain software has !Jeen in short supply but progran already slated far this ■anth's disk af the aonth include: Cribbage in BASIC, Tiny BASIC far those ·•ho don't like ST BASIC, XLISP, yes another progru1ing language, the 1111derlying structure for LOSO. These are sure things. The rest will cou aare into focus in the next tNO weks as I start to colb the BBSs for the cauntry far the best software far DDtl. For those who don't knaN, "AST has a disk of the 1onth 11nich 1t1 charge SS.00 far which is packed full of pulllic doaain software for the ST. All software progran are checked by II and docu■ented in a READ.l'IE file in each directory so you are sure you get saaething that 1tOrts. So far we have a library af eight disks after tNO 1onths with ■are to co■e. The disks look like this SQ far: February non 11 - Degas files, duos, iiEJt instruction articles, and utility progrus. February non 12 - Application progran, ga11S, and 111sic prograas Atari TOS 2.0 - Ne• version of Atari TQS an disk with a full disk af disk related applications aitd utility progr115. "arch non It - Utility progran. !larch DOft 12 - Sates and general ST infar■ation. ftarch Daft 13 - Application progrus, Degas files, de■os, illd Gal instruction article. "arch DOft 14 - l'lodula de■o, 111sic prograas, OSS Pascal infar■ation and de1os, and raldisk progra■s Artificial Int. - De■o of an very nice artificial intelligence progra1. Well, that's what• have so far. For sore details, see ■eat the next "AST 1e1ting. Other DD" neNs: For those who cannot 1ake the 1eeting and still would like the DO", I will sail thet to you within one week of the eeting for the standard $5,0-0 plus S0.50 far postige and handling for each disk. l'ly address is: 32b4 Welcate Avenue North Crystal, MN 55422 Meo and Degas picture disks should be available at the next ■eeting. Each disk will include squeezed picture files, the wisqueeze prograa, and a slide show prograa so that you don't need Neo or Degas to sho• off your ST. Proble■s, prable■s, prablen. I have recieved reports that so■e of last ■onth's disks were had. If you got a bad disk, bring the original disk ta the next NAST 1eeting for a replacetent. Also on the last disk one file was 1isna1ed. The file CRABS.RSC on the March DO~ 11 should be CRAB.RSC. If it is renued, selecting the CRABS entry in the iccessaries aenu Mill not crash you syste1. ~ell 1 that's it for this month. I will see you at the next NAST ie@ting with at least two full disks of the best public domain soft~are to be found fro• the last aonth.

Software Reviews by Ji ■ Schulz Zooaracks by Quickvie• Syste■s Did you ever see a progru that was beyond description for its innovative way of attacking an application? Well, this is that progra1. This progra■ is al10st beyond description. Zoo1racks is a data base pragra■ that 1akes ~se of index cards to organize data into racks. Sound interesting?? I will go on. How about data base fieids of up to 250 lines of data (3 pages in length!? Zo~aracks also includes on-line help through the press of the help key, sacras, up to 9 racks in 1e1ory at the sa1e tise, and 1ultiple racks on the screen at the sa1e tiae. Still sound interesting?? Well ••• Zooaracks sight be an interesting prcgraa, but it does have its drawbacks, Zooaracks is not an easy prograa to learn. I don't know about you, but Nhen ! get a prograa I want to boot it and use it i11ediately. I don't want ta read long 1anuals. I want to use the program. Zoaaracks does coae with a long 1anual, but in order to understand this prograa they tell you to use it. Others have said that the aanual is useless. Well, I tried the progru and it after booting up left up with an option~ screen. TIICI of these options are a tutorial of Zcomracks and a de■ onstration of Zc01racks. Hey, just what I need I thought. Well ••• I ran the de1onstation. I said to 1yself, 'Bay, this prograa is really neat.• The de1onstaticn really whet my interest. I had to experiment with this progra1. That was 1y first problea. Once I Nent ahead an:i experi ■ented, I get lost. Yes, lost in a co■puter ?rogra~. Zoaaracks does have a feature tc allcw you ta undo your previous co11and. But I did two co11ands. Ky only out, exit the progra1. Next I tried the tutorial. Very well done. I learned iore about the program but I stitl don't feel co1~ortable with this progra■• Now for my conclusion. You ready. Ycu think ! hate it. You think I will never boot it again. You think that I have been hu■iliated, outsiarted by a co1puter pragraa. Well ••• no on all accounts. ! am still working at Zoosracks. Zoomracks is net the type of ?rogram that you sit do"n and learn and use in one night and I think the authors know this. The 1anual says it between the lines and the prograa says it. The prograa ind the 1anual lead you through th~ progras but they just give you too 1any options. Yes, too many. For all it's problems, Zoomracks is a very goad prograa and very powerful beth in design and i illpl ementati on. Now the big question, do I reco11end that you buy it??? ~ell ••• if you want to take the ti1e anti effort to

Data Perfect is a pDllrful data but but often ti1H tao hard for aost people ta understand. Zaaracks is alat likl" this. It is a very uniq111, innovativt prOl)raa th1t is not for everyone. Before I clan this revin, let n cancludt •ith I fa facts. Zoaracks NU witten by five pragrautn •ha 01111 the c11111any and are caaaitttd to the ZDC11rack1 uchitectun. They ,ar1 very rnpansivt ta III tbt Atari ST user and listen to our prallleu. l talked •ith the• about •Y CDICltrftl and their response WU to play with the pragraa. Those 1111a h1v1 used it and wked •i th say that it that gra111 an yaa. Will, that's llil1t I will da and 1ill get back ta Yllll Oil IY proqrns. Curnntly, their is n11 11th capaility i ■ Zao.,1eis. This accarding to thff •ill be r1111died with thtir lunt releau along with sa• other gaadi11. Also thty said they art plinning to use tht Zaaaracks architecture for other a,pliutiDII prograas, including a tel1CDM1111ications-... : package. N011 that 1 haw ta see!~! Al so zao..acks is not ca,y-pratlctld... Tbult you. Bllt pl1u1 don't 1isus1 this ar elu. That's ZOOll"acks. I hope this •ill help you decidebtfartyau bay. Solitaire and 21 by ElKtra Mn ta 11itch gears, STs are not all 11Grt and na play. This pragraa I will endorse llilalthearttdly as an of the nicnt ST gaae progran that I°""• lith this packlg1, you git bath salitair1 and 21 llilidl bath use the &al interface. . You need help. Instructions art only a 1tn11 click a.ay. I aa a solitaire un ■yself and this ga■eI keep right n11t to ■y c01puter ta play before bedti11. Solitaire gives you b1a options, ane ta redeal the cards and the other to set the nu■ier 11f cards to turn. 21 also gives the option ta redeal and the option ta se-t the aaaunt of your bet on each gan. llell, th1rt is not a lat that I can say about this prograa that is bad. lltll ••• I did find one bug. If you get this gaae and pl1y solitaire, keep your cards a11y fraa the top of the &al windaw. If you card tauch11 the tap of the window, it is rebaat ti11. But nawth1t I know this 1 just 11tcll out. In conclusion ••• buy this praqru. It is cheap far an ST prograa at Sl9.95 list. Na aanul, but you don't need one. Not copy protected, need I say ■ore. Also when you select either solitaire or 21 to start, it loads both. No additional disk access. Very nice.

apptared, you probably saw an ad for this progru, lawiing a GE!! interface and the ability ta catalog your disks of ST soft»are. I ordered this progra■ after reading in an Antic CES article an Caapuserve that this pragra■ •as shipping in tw 11ttks. It sounded goad but I aa always a little leery of 1agazine ads advertising prograas. Prograas are never done llhen they say they will be. This is no exception. I waited about five waks and I finally recieved a disk in the Ail. So I boated it up. llall, custoa icons. Yes, they designed their 0111 disk icons. ! guess they didn't like Atari's. I then started ta pull d0111 the ■enus. Save files, 1erge files, load files, ••• All the standard file options. Display filet by directory, file na■e, volu■e nan, or all. -Acceptable. Print fil!!, change volu■e na■e, search far file. It offered exactly what it advertised. Sa let's go. I put disk one in a.id that IIOf'ked fine. I put in disk two and that worked fine. I put in disk three and the progra■ crashed with three ■ushroau (pre-RON diys >. lltll, I looked at this disk after rebooting and noticed that the praqru did not support a disk with all subdirectories and no files in the sain directory. After playing •ith soae ■are, I faund so■e ■ore bugs all not sa usy to get around. But with the package, they pralised an updat1 in a 1anth. I be-t. Never. But a 11C111th later, I rKi eved an upd1te al ang Ni th a list of bugs that had b11n fixed fr01 the first release. lly subdirectory prabl 11. Sti 11 not fixed. I 1rote thu 1 letter this ti11 and I aa sure it 1ill be fixed in the nut release. Other than that the prcgru ri.ns as advertised. Yau have probably sun this prograa in action and don ·t even knaw it. The DOit directory listing pasted at the 11eting are frat this prograa. Very nicely done. Also another feature which I haven't used 111ch yet is the ability to put a description with each progra1. Na• it's conclusion tiu. Should you buy it??? The ans~er is ••••• net now. This is a very nice progra1 and very well writttn but I think it is just a little to buggy ta start out with, If you ,are •illing to live the bugs, I say go buy it. r·1 glad I did. The way Extended Software supports it's users I think iR one or two aare 1onths this pr0gra1 will 10st likely be bug-free. In uanti ■e, I will live with the bugs and report the• and wait for tht next U?date to c01e. 11111, that's it for reviews this 10nth. If I find ti ■e, next ■onth we will read about King's Guest II, a very nice ani1ated graphics adventure, Easy-Draw, a professional dra•ing progra■, and the Clack Cartridge, the fir!t cartridge available far that hale in the left hand side af your ■achine.
