ISSUE NO. 13 KARCH 1985

~~~R~IARY~~ R~fQRI

H1,

Attendance at the first meeting for· the year was very sllght - only 41 people were able to attend.

A number of 1tems were diseussed

Joysticks Ken has come up w1 th a JOystick mod1f icatlon th~t is wired on to the arr·ow keys and 'the S]:I8Ce ·bar, .so tha~re:\l~.~-~L'C!~fPfJrar'n that· uses these part1cular keys will work with the joystick, w1thout the program need1ng to have a )oyst1ck routine built HI. The )Oystlck that was demonz.trated at the meetlng was a standard rQUlckshot' joystick and it reacted a lot qu1cker than the EACA ]oyst1cks. The pnce will be $34.00 - for a complete JOystick unit. Th1s is a very qood pnce 1ndeed. The only catch 1s, that unles2. you have a good techrncal knowledge of your madune i,and how to cut a neat little hole 1n the side of 1tJ, then Ken or Andy are go1ng to have to attach these rnod2 .. and thu:. wlll not be able to be done at the rneet1ng due to the length of t1me 1t takes.

New Roms These :~re reacllly avallable now- Just br1ng your computer along to a rneetlng and we wlll flt .them. St1ll $2S.Ct0 per set, and we tai-;e your old ones HI f::':~c:hanqe. ·.~uuntry r11ember:::. wlll e1 ther have to do 1 t themselves or a.rrange to have then computers sent to u~~. Maybe ·3. fr1end travel.2. through to Auckland, or you could cour1er your mach1ne up to us - 1t costs less than ~:1 0. 00 each way.

Blank Tapes We have had so much trouble with these recently that we have now changed to a different, guaranteed. but unfortunately much dearer brand. The ma1n problems we have had are lJ. tape be1ng too tight -won't ff or rew and 2;. you can copy a program once on to the tape, but you can't get a good copy the second time around. So, 1n future, all blank tapes wlll be $1.80 each, 1f you want a blank label a~~ well, 1t wlll cost you an extra 10c per tape.

Data Stabilisers These are sell1ng very well, at $18.50 each. all of you w1th any load1ng problems buy one.

I really do recommend that They really do work well!!

cassette Relay Boards This is a board that enables yout cassette recorder to be automat1cally turned off, via software control, when your program has LOADed, mcluchng via the SYSTEM command, CSAVEd or VERIFYed.

These are also now readlly available (HI other words, we have a small stock). Prices are for the ki tset $15.00, for the f it11shed model li.H th good clear mstructlons on how to afflx it to the inside of your GemeJ $18. 00, and, 1 f !iark affixes 1 t to the 1 nside of your Geme, $20. 00.

All9n Clarke adv1ses that he wlll be releasing updated copies of both h1~ Wor~ Processor program and his RS232 Driver very shortly. So, all of you w1th thesl~ programmes wlll be able to get your updated programmes as sool"l as we have r·ece1ved your tapes.

Allan haz. doubled the capae1 ty of tht': RS232 Driver and he is also extenchng the 1nstruct1ons. The Word Processor has new data saving routines, that wlll :;:.peed Un:;:. funct1on up. Allan u,: also changmg the typ1ng speed of the Geme. wh1ch wlll help those of us who are not 'hunt and peck' typists. Also, the pr1nter ccmf1g1Jrat1ons have been changed, ma1nly to suit the CP80 as this seems to be the most popular pnnter around.

We have rece1ved a CoO tape of programs from a qentleman 1n Holland who advert1sed througtt Personal Computer New2.. There are a total of 20 proqram.s on iu2. tape, some of them have al.ready been released for sale, whtle others wtll have to be translated fr~~ Dutch or German, 1nto Engl1sh . .Imdy, i<e1th lic<:;lll and I w1ll be workHtq .:tt th12 ·Ner the ne:-:t month, so tne rest <:•f the progr..:trn.::· . .::~hould t1e r?Jlea2.ed next mc.nUt, There lS .a German f l1ght ,=nmulator that also ha.s radar .-ind a '..Jar ~:·pt <·->n, 'tnd a 1.2 paqe manual -all HI ·~,erir;..::~r,, Trte :=:·creen 1:=:· cc·rnpl~tely d1fferent tc· trte ~creen of the fltght .:=.Hnulat•)C that we have now. Ke1th McG1ll 1::-,; qo1nq to translate the manual for u.::·.. .::~o that we can lllake some 2.ense out of the progratn.

Ross Kay has got an angl1c1sed vers1on of Invasion nearly complete. He showed what he had clone so far at the meetlnq. It's amaz1ng what is actually 1n the progra1n that we JUSt don't see. So. when Ross has fntlshed 1t, he 1s go1ng to let us have a copy to redo our master. therefore all those who have purchased Invas1on from us, please return your copy and we w1ll send you an updated copy, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Th1s also goes for Hektik- all those that don't have the title page appear1ng 1n white, and also all wh1te ladders. please return your cop1es and you w1ll be Bent an updated copy.

D1tto for Saug - Andrew Gold1e has angl1c1sed th1s program too, so send your co}nes back to be exchanged for updated vers1ons.

If anyone else has anqllClsed the1r German programs, please get 1n touch Wl th u~.. If you can let us t1ave ·:t copy of 1 t. we can update all member's cop1es.

Anyone w1th tapes purchased from Rakon who ~ould like updated vers1ons of the~ programs can also send them .back to me, and they wlll be redone for you at a cost of $3.00 per tape.

Secretary's Report

Software now available includes;

Typing Tutor $'12.00 nus seems to be qtnte a good program, test1ng on both letters and words. If you make an error Jur1ng any part1cular screen, the mach1ne automat1cally makes you do 1t agaHl. You can choose to learn one hne at a t1me, or two l1nes and so on.

Adventures $10.00 These are two adventure programs that have come the UK Users Group, and are not qu1te as d1ff1cult as the Colour Quest ser1es. That st1ll Joesn't mean that they are easy though.

C.G. Monitor $15.00 Supposedly a very good Mom tor. Got a good wn teup 1 n the English group's rnagaz1ne. Comes with a good 'manual'.

Jump $14.00 A good arcade qame, a llttle llke Kong 1n that you have to cl1mb up ladders \ :md f uemen' 2. poles J to reach the 'balls· at the top of the screen. When you have got hold of one (you JUst have to banq 1nto 1t,1 you then have to get ·::tll the way down ·::tga 1n. All clur 1 ng Uns you have these p1nk coloured balls com1nq Jown to qet you, :5o far our farnlly have reached the e1ghth E:·.creen. I re·::tll y recornrnend 1:tH.s game - to rne 1 t 1s a l1 ttle eas1er than Kong. The only fault I can f1nd w1th the game Ls that 1f you get h1t dur1ng a 2.creen set. you have to -=~tart the whole darn screen set ag.::t1n. even 1f you :.~ere on your last ball. However 1f you have passed one screen you don't have to go bacl<. to the beg1nnlng of the game. JUSt back to the start of the screen set you are presently on. And I really l1ke the rnus1c -1t 1~·. an actual 'class1cal-type' tune. Don't a2.k rne the narne of 1t though!

*******************************************

You will hnd attached, a further flve pages to be added to your Software Lists, all w1th new programs or hardware 1terns. In fact there are so many new programs th1s month, that I have only llsted a few of them above.

If anyone has a program that we haven't got llsted, and they are willing to share the1n w1 th the Group. please send u2. a tape.

That's the lot from me th1s month, Nola Huggins
