-------------..LOADSTAR,.. I WOULD LIKE
TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON.YOUR EXCELLENT (
AND STILL IMPROVING).DISK MAGAZINE. I HA
VE SPENT MANY AN.ENJOYABLE HOUR WITH CON
VENIENT ACCESS.TO THE PROGRAMS FROM THE
COMMODORE.MAGAZINES, AND ALL THE ADDITIO
NAL.ITEMS AS WELL. IT IS WELL WORTH.$9.
95 TO ME TO HAVE THE PROGRAMS.ALREADY IN
DISK-LOADABLE FORM..I MIGHT EVEN SUBSCR
IBE AND SAVE.MYSELF $50.00 A YEAR. I JUS
T RECENTLY.TRIED OUT THE "NEW" LOADSTAR.
ENVIRONMENT ON ISSUE #30 AND ENJOYED.IT
VERY MUCH...I SEE THE EFFORTS TOWARD IMP
ROVEMENT.ARE PAYING OFF... I CRINGED AT
YOUR ANSWER TO ONNIE.BAILEY, JR. (ISSUE
#22, Q&A) WHO.INQUIRED ABOUT THE SLOWNE
SS OF.GARBAGE COLLECTION ON THE NAME.MAC
HINE - "NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT.THIS."
OH? IF THE NAME MACHINE IS.WRITTEN IN B
ASIC, THEN THERE IS HOPE..THERE ARE AT L
EAST TWO SOLUTIONS TO.THIS PROBLEM. THE
FIRST IS TO PURCHASE.FROM THE TRANSACTOR
A PROGRAM CALLED.SANITATION ENGINEER. I
T WAS.PUBLISHED IN VOLUME 6, ISSUE 6.(MA
Y 1986) ON PAGE 8, AND IS ALSO.AVAILABLE
ON THE TRANSACTOR DISK #11.FOR $8.95. S
ANITATION ENGINEER WAS.ALSO JUST RECENTL
Y PUBLISHED IN.COMPUTE!'S GAZETTE, FEBRU
ARY 1987.)..THERE WAS AN ARTICLE ON GARB
AGE.COLLECTION PUBLISHED IN COMPUTE!'S.G
AZETTE, SEPTEMBER 1986, P. 81, WHICH.GIV
ES NOT ONLY SOME EXPLANATION, BUT.ALSO A
SHORT PROGRAM THAT LOCKS UP THE.C-64 IN
GARBAGE COLLECTION FOR SOME 61.MINUTES
- PROBABLY THE TOP LIMIT..SANITATION ENG
INEER REDUCES THAT.FIGURE TO 154 JIFFIES
- A LITTLE OVER.2.5 SECONDS!..THE SECON
D SOLUTION IS TO ADD SOME.EXTRA LINES TO
THE NAME MACHINE. I.CAN'T HELP HIM VERY
MUCH WITH THAT.DIRECTLY, NOT OWNING A C
OPY,.BUT...ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A
.TWO-PART ARTICLE BY JIM BUTTERFIELD.PUB
LISHED IN COMPUTE! JUNE 1984, P..131; AN
D JULY 1984, P. 144) DEALING.WITH GARBAG
E COLLECTION IN DETAIL,.INCLUDING SOME W
AYS TO MINIMIZE IT..IF MR. BAILEY IS WIL
LING TO DELVE.INTO THE CODING OF THE NAM
E MACHINE,.THEN HE SHOULD CONSULT THIS E
XCELLENT.ARTICLE. ALSO SEE THE VERY.INFO
RMATIVE ARTICLE BY DICK BULL ON.LOADSTAR
#24... I HOPE NO ONE MINDS MY RECOMMEN
DING.ARTICLES AND PROGRAMS FROM OTHER.MA
GAZINES, BUT THE TOOLS FIT THE.DESIRED T
ASKS QUITE CLOSELY. WHEN.THAT'S THE CASE
, I HAVE NO HESITATION.IN GIVING A 'PLUG
' TO A GOOD PROGRAM.WHICH IS THE BEST TO
OL I KNOW OF FOR.THE JOB. IF SOMEONE KNO
WS OF A.DIFFERENT PROGRAM OR A CHEAPER S
OURCE,.I'M ALL FOR IT. PASS IT ALONG!..
