..^U:DISKOVERY. THE MEDIUM SIZED
PICTURE.. BY JEFFREY L. JONES..
A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED.TH
AT THEY WANT GOOD OLD FASHIONED.TRIVIA A
DDED TO LOADSTAR FROM TIME TO.TIME. WHI
LE THEY ENJOY FEATURES LIKE.PUZZLE PAGE,
THEY SAY THAT THEY.SOMETIMES DON'T FEEL
LIKE PONDERING.OVER TOUGH PROBLEMS. TR
UE ENOUGH,.SOME PUZZLERS ONLY THINK THEY
'RE.THE DIEHARD PUZZLER THAT FENDER IS..
. PEOPLE WHO AREN'T DIEHARD.PUZZLERS
DON'T WANT TO SPEND MORE.THAN A MINUTE O
R THREE PER PROBLEM..THIS IS WHERE TRUE
TRIVIA BECOMES.DESIRABLE... NON-PUZZL
ERS LIKE ME CAN PLAY FOR.HOURS WITH A GO
OD TRIVIA GAME LIKE.AMERICAN DATELINE WH
ERE EACH QUESTION.TAKES ONLY A FEW MOMEN
TS TO SOLVE... THE PROBLEM IS WE GENE
RALLY DON'T.ACCEPT THE TRIVIA GAMES THAT
WE.RECEIVE BECAUSE THEY USUALLY LOOK TH
E.SAME:..WHAT IS THE CAPITAL OF LOUSIANA
?.. A. SHREVEPORT. B. BATON ROUGE.
C. NEW ORLEANS. D. BOSSIER... B
ORING! WE'D LIKE EITHER EXCITING.THEMES
OR UNIQUE INTERFACES WITH.TRIVIA. NEXT
MONTH, ON LOADSTAR #63,.I'M GOING TO IN
TRODUCE WHAT I THINK.IS A UNIQUE INTERFA
CE FOR TRIVIA..I'D LIKE TO USE THIS TYPE
OF PROGRAM.EVERY MONTH IF POSSIBLE. IT
ONLY.TAKES UP 40 BLOCKS OF DISK SPACE.(
DOCUMENTATION INCLUDED) SO ITS.REPEATED
OCCURRENCE WON'T MEAN MISSING.OUT ON NEW
PROGRAMS. IN FACT YOU CAN.LOOK AT IT A
S A BONUS. WOULD YOU.RATHER WE DIDN'T U
SE THE 40 BLOCKS?.IT'S CALLED JEFF'S TOP
TEN AND IT'S.GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU LAU
GH AND.LEARN AS WELL AS THINK ABOUT THE.
WORLD YOU LIVE IN.... I'LL TRY TO KEE
P THE SUBJECTS.HUMOROUS, SNAPPY, ON THE
VERGE OF.CONTROVERSY, BUT NOT SO SAUCY T
HAT.FENDER BEGINS TO WORRY ABOUT LAWSUIT
S.AND SUBSCRIBER CANCELLATIONS... LOO
K FOR IT, GIVE IT A TRY... * *
* * * * * * *.. TELL ME: AM I READING
THE.CRITIQUES INCORRECTLY OR DO YOU.ACT
UALLY VALUE THE LOADSTAR TEXT.FILES SUCH
AS DISKOVERY, FORUM, AND.REVIEWS? WELL
, THIS MONTH WE'VE.EXPANDED THE AMOUNT O
F EDITORIAL.CONTENT. IF YOU'VE READ THI
S FAR.THEN YOU'VE ALREADY NOTICED THE.AD
DITION... WE'LL GAUGE HOW MUCH YOU LI
KE (OR.DISLIKE IT) BY HOW MUCH YOU COMPL
AIN:."WE WANT PROGRAMS, NOT TEXT!" OR B
Y.HOW MUCH YOU PRAISE THE CHANGE. WE.CA
N'T PLEASE EVERYONE BUT WE WANT TO.PLEAS
E THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE.WE CAN...
SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S NEW IN THIS.IS
SUE IS THE ADDITION OF A SECOND.FORUM.
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT I'VE.DEVOTED IT T
O CRITIQUE RESPONSES. WE.JUST THOUGHT Y
OU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME.OF THEM. IT'S NOT
A SCIENTIFIC.SAMPLING OF THEM -- I JUST
TYPED IN.THE ONES THAT HAD DOLLAR BILLS
.STAPLED TO THEM... I NOTICED IN THE
CRITIQUES,.PARTICULARLY THE FROM THE NEW
READERS,.A HIGH RATE OF DISDAIN FOR THE
."TYPE-IN" PROGRAMS FROM COMMODORE.MAGAZ
INE. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF A.PAPER M
AGAZINE, INTRICATE, HIGHLY.ERROR-TRAPPED
PROGRAMS ARE HARD TO.COME BY BECAUSE NO
ONE WILL FEEL.LIKE TYPING THEM IN...
A 10-20 BLOCK TYPE-IN PROGRAM, BY.DEFIN
ITION, ISN'T GOING TO BE AS.SOPHISTICATE
D AS THE OTHER PROGRAMS.THAT WE PUBLISH,
SOME OF WHICH RANGE.INTO HUNDREDS OF BL
OCKS IN PROGRAM.SIZE, DATA FILES, ETC.
SURPRISINGLY.ENOUGH, PLENTY CAN BE DONE
IN 20.BLOCKS SO TYPE-IN PROGRAMS TEND TO
.IMPRESS ME WITH GOOD SIZE/POWER RATIO..
ONE SUCH PROGRAM WAS SIXTY-FORE,.WHI
CH FENDER AND I PLAYED UNTIL.EVERYONE EL
SE HAD GONE HOME. SCREEN.GRABBER, ANOTH
ER TYPE IN PROGRAM IS.SOMETHING I USE AL
L THE TIME WHEN.MAKING TITLE SCREENS FOR
PROGRAMS... CONSIDERING THAT EACH IS
SUE OF.LOADSTAR HAS ABOUT 2000 BLOCKS OF
.PROGRAM/DOCUMENTATION SPACE,.DEVOTING 1
00 OR SO BLOCKS TO A COUPLE.OF TYPE-IN P
ROGRAMS IS EASY TO DO... AS I TYPE, I
REMIND MYSELF THAT.THERE ARE NO COMMODO
RE MAGAZINE.PROGRAMS ON THIS ISSUE. THI
S ISN'T A.POLICY CHANGE. THIS MONTH COM
MODORE.MAGAZINE DIDN'T HAVE ANY TYPE-IN.
PROGRAMS... * * * * * * * *..
CHARTSTAR ON SIDE THREE OF THIS.DISK
WAS WRITTEN IN VIDEO BASIC, A.NEAT LITT
LE BASIC EXTENTION FROM.ABACUS SOFTWARE.
I'VE OWNED IT FOR A.FEW YEARS NOW BUT
HAVEN'T DONE MUCH.WITH IT. NOW I'M EXCI
TED TO SEE THAT.PETER MARIONS MUST SHOP
IN THE SAME.COMPUTER STORES AS I DO. I
LIKE.VIDEO BASIC A BIT MORE THAN I DISLI
KE.ITS SHORTCOMINGS... ONE BOON IS TH
AT VIDEO BASIC.PROGRAMS THAT YOU WRITE C
AN BE.COMPILED. YOUR GAMES CAN RUN FAST
ER.AND SMOOTHER USING THIS EXTENSION.COU
PLED WITH ABACUS'S COMPILER... ONE TH
ING TO WATCH WITH VIDEO.BASIC IS WHAT I
THINK IS A BUG IN THE.RUN-TIME PACKAGE:
IF YOU PRESS F7,.YOU GO TO A HIRES SCRE
EN. F5 TAKES.YOU BACK TO TEXT. THIS IS
FINE WHEN.YOU'RE DEVELOPING THE PROGRAM
BUT CAN.BE CONFUSING TO THE END USER..C
HARTSTAR DOESN'T USE F5 OR F7 SO.IT'S BE
ST TO STAY AWAY FROM THESE.KEYS...
* * * * * * * * *....... THIS MON
TH I INTRODUCE MY NEW.CRITIQUE PROGRAM F
OR THOSE OF YOU WHO.HAVE COMPLAINED ABOU
T OUR OLD.CRITIQUE INTERFACE... THIS
VERSION REACTS MORE LIKE A.WORD PROCESSO
R AND ALLOWS YOU TO TYPE.IN AS MUCH AS 2
0K OF GRIPES OR.PRAISES! YOU CAN ALSO E
DIT YOUR.CRITIQUE NOW... BELIEVE IT O
R NOT, THIS PROGRAM.CAUSED ME MANY A HEA
DACHE OVER THE.MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AS I
TRACKED.DOWN A SINGULAR BUT VEEEEEERY E
LUSIVE.BUG. YOU MIGHT LOVE THIS NEW.CRI
TIQUE -- BUT I HATE IT! ARRRGH!.BUT THE
N, WE'VE ALL HAD OUR HEADACHE.ASSIGNMENT
S THIS MONTH... THE PROGRAM IS STILL
IN THE.EXPERIMENTAL STAGES SO PLEASE FEE
L.FREE TO TELL US HOW YOU MIGHT WANT.IT
CHANGED. IS THAT A SLICK WAY OF.WARNING
THAT THERE ARE STILL BUGS IN.THE PROGRA
M? I HOPE NOT... **** END OF TEX
