VIEW. DEVELOPERS!.SEND IN YOUR STUFF!
I'D LIKE TO.REVIEW THE NEW 1750 CLONE..U
NFORTUNATELY THERE'S NOT ONE ON MY.DESK.
..LASTLY, YES, WE ARE CURRENTLY PUTTING.
TOGETHER A PROGRAMMING DISK. WE DON'T.K
NOW HOW MANY DISKS IT WILL TAKE UP,.BUT
IT WILL START WITH THE BASICS OF.BASIC A
ND END WITH ML PROGRAMMING..WE'LL INCLUD
E OUR MAJOR PROGRAMMING.AIDS IN THE PACK
AGE. SHOULD BE QUITE.A SET....DEAR LOAD
STAR,.. I LIKE MY 128D AND DON'T WANT
TO.BUY AN AMIGA, BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM:.
I BOUGHT A PANASONIC KX-P1124I 24-PIN.PR
INTER AND CAN'T GET IT TO WORK WITH.PRIN
TMASTER OR PRINTSHOP. MY CARDS.ARE ELON
GATED TO THE NEXT SHEET OF.PAPER. I WAS
LUCKY THAT TENEX TOOK.PRINTSHOP BACK AF
TER I REALLY.COMPLAINED... I CORRESPO
NDED WITH BRODERBUND.AND THEY SAY THEY C
AN'T JUSTIFY THE.COST OF A 24-PIN DRIVER
WHEN.COMMODORE ACCOUNTS FOR ONLY THREE.
PERCENT OF SALES. MY QUESTION IS, IS.TH
ERE A PRINTSHOP ON THE MARKET WITH.24-PI
N PRINTER DRIVERS FOR THE C-64?.I MISS U
SING MY PRINTMASTER... FRED
BUEMAN. RACINE, WI..LS: YO
U COULD HAVE KEPT PRINT SHOP..THE PANASO
NIC KX-P 24 PIN SERIES.DEFAULTS TO THE E
PSON LQ850 8-PIN.EMULATION MODE. IN THI
S MODE, 8-BIT.GRAPHICS COME OUT OKAY BUT
ARE INDEED.ELONGATED. IN THE IBM PROPR
INTER X24.MODE, THE PANASONIC PRINTER BE
TTER.EMULATES 9-PIN PRINTERS. YOUR.GRAP
HICS WON'T RUN OFF THE PAGE. THE.PRINTI
NG'S A TAD SLOWER, BUT IT.WORKS. BUT US
ING A 24-PIN PRINTER.WITH PRINT SHOP OR
PRINT MASTER IS.LIKE BUYING A RACE CAR F
OR TRIPS TO.THE CORNER STORE...TRY GEOS,
GATEWAY, PARTICULARLY.PERFECT PRINT FRO
M CMD WHICH IS.GETTING RAVE REVIEWS. GE
OS AND FUN.GRAPHICS MACHINE ARE MUCH BET
TER SIGN.AND CARD MAKERS THAN PRINT SHOP
OR.PRINTMASTER. FORGET 2-3 BLOCK PRINT
.SHOP GRAPHICS, BLOWN UP UNTIL THEY'RE.D
ISTORTED AND BLOCKY. HOW ABOUT A.WHOLE
32-BLOCK DOODLE! PIC AS A.GRAPHIC FOR YO
UR SIGN? HOW ABOUT TWO.OF 'EM IN ONE SI
GN? IT TAKES MORE.WORK, YES, BUT THE RE
SULTS ARE WELL.WORTH IT...IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO GET FANCY, TRY.GEOPUBLISH OR SOM
E OF THE OTHER DTP.PROGRAMS OUT THERE...
DEAR LOADSTAR,.. COULD YOU PUT A PROG
RAM ON.LOADSTAR THAT WOULD SCAN FOR AN R
EU,.COMPUTE ITS FREE MEMORY, THEN DUMP A
S.MUCH OF LOADSTAR TO IT AS POSSIBLE TO.
USE IT AS A SUPER FAST DISK DRIVE? I.WO
ULD APPRECIATE THE MODIFICATIONS...
BRIAN ELLIS. MIDLO
THIAN, VA..LS: UNIVERSAL REU SUPPORT CAN
BE.FOUND IN RAMLINK, WHICH WILL PUT YOU
R.REU TO WORK AS A SUPER-FAST RAM DISK.W
ITHOUT WORRY OF COMPATIBILITY. IT.WAS R
ATHER THOUGHTFUL OF CMD TO.INCLUDE THE R
EU PORT SO THAT EXISTING.REUS WERE PUT T
O USE INSTEAD OF.SIMPLY MADE OBSOLETE...
SOME COMPILED PROGRAMS DON'T WORK.WITH R
AMDOS. I TRIED TO SUPPORT.RAMDOS IN STA
R CATALOGER AND FAILED,.BUT STAR CATALOG
ER WORKS FINE ON.RAMLINK WITH AN REU. T
HIS IS BECAUSE.RAMDOS IS MORE OF A "TRIC
K" THAN A.DOS. YOU JUST CAN'T EXPECT A
DECENT.COMPATIBILITY RATE. RAMLINK HAS.
PROVEN 100% COMPATIBLE WITH MY.SOFTWARE
SO FAR, BOTH IN-HOUSE.GENERATED AND COMM
ERCIAL. THERE ARE.PLENTY OF PROGRAMS WE
PUBLISH THAT.SIMPLY WOULDN'T WORK WITH
A SOFTWARE-.BASED RAM DISK BECAUSE RAMDO
S MUST.RESIDE SOMEWHERE IN MEMORY IN ORD
ER.TO WORK. HARDWARE RAMDRIVES LIKE.RAM
LINK ARE THE WAY TO GO BECAUSE OUR.PROGR
AMS LITERALLY CAN'T TELL THAT.THEY ARE B
EING LOADED FROM A RAM.DISK, AND REQUIRE
NO SPECIAL CODE,.COMMANDS, INTERRUPTS,
EXTRA FILES OR.PREP TO USE THEM....DEAR
LOADSTAR,.. IT WAS A GREAT FIRST ISSU
E FOR ME..GALAXY WAS AWESOME! RADICAL!.
TUBULAR! COOL! ALMOST EVERYTHING.ABOUT
THIS GAME WAS GREAT THOUGH IT.COULD HAV
E USED A SINGLE PLAYER MODE..HEY, HOW AB
OUT A CONTEST TO SPICE UP.THE ISSUE. KE
EP UP THE GOOD WORK!.. AARON
TEPLITSKI. MAHOPAC, NY..LS:
WE HAVE A CONTEST EVERY MONTH..OUR SUBS
CRIBERS SEND US PROGRAMS, THE.BEST OF WH
ICH WE PAY HUNDREDS OF.DOLLARS IN PRIZE
MONEY FOR. YOU.NEEDN'T BE A SUBSCRIBER
TO SUBMIT..RIGHT NOW WE'RE RUNNING A CON
TEST.WITH THE WALT'S COMIX SLIDESHOW FRO
M.LAST ISSUE. SEND IN YOUR CAPTIONS.AND
WE'LL PUBLISH THE FUNNIEST ONES....DEAR
LOADSTAR,.. WHAT DO I LIKE ABOUT LOA
DSTAR?.UTILITIES, GRAPHICS, SERIOUS.PROG
RAMS, REVIEWS, ADVICE AND FORUM..BUT IT
DOES SEEM TO ME THAT YOU.PUBLISH TOO MAN
Y DEDICATED DATABASES.THAT CAN'T BE CUST
OMIZED THROUGH.SOFTWARE CONTROLS...
CHARLOTTE P. MANGUM.
BODEGA BAY, CA..LS: MOST OF OUR DEDICAT
ED DATABASES.ARE SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED
BY OUR.READERS. IF A GOOD GENERIC DATAB
ASE.PROGRAM COMES OUR WAY YOU CAN BE SUR
E.WE'LL FEATURE IT ON LOADSTAR. I'D.LIK
E TO WRITE ONE MYSELF BUT IT.SOUNDS LIKE
A BIGGER PROJECT THAN MY.USUAL DO-IN-A-
MONTH PROGRAMS....DEAR LOADSTAR,.. TH
IS IS MY FIRST ISSUE AND I'M.REALLY IMPR
ESSED WITH THE THINGS THAT.CAN BE DONE W
ITH THE C-64. I'M.HAVING TROUBLE GETTIN
G A PRINTOUT OF.THE MOTH ON ISSUE #92 WI
TH MY 1526.PRINTER. I'M ALSO INTERESTED
IN.LEARNING TO PROGRAM. CAN YOU SUGGES
T.A FEW BOOKS AND/OR BACK ISSUES THAT.WO
ULD HELP? LASTLY, WHAT CAN I DO TO.GET
LETTER QUALITY PRINTOUTS?..
JOHN VAN SETERS. CLIFT
ON, NJ..LS: THE OLD, OLD, OLD 1526/25 AN
D OLD.MPS PRINTERS AREN'T REALLY SUPPORT
ED.BY US, MAINLY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A
.WORKING UNIT TO TEST PRINTER DRIVERS.ON
. OUR PRINTER DUMPS WILL WORK WITH.ALL
PRINTERS THAT HAVE AN EPSON MODE,.INCLUD
ING STAR AND PANASONIC. SUPER.SNAPSHOT'
S SCREEN COPY MENU SEEMS TO.WORK WITH AL
L PRINTERS. I HEARTILY.SUGGEST USING IT
FOR YOUR SCREEN.DUMPS. YOU CAN GET IT
FROM TENEX AT.1-800-PROMPT-1 OR SSI (THE
OFFICIAL.USA DISTRIBUTOR) AT 1-800-356-
1179...I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PROGRAMMING
BOOK.THAT TAUGHT ME MUCH BECAUSE MOST OF
.MINE WERE WRITTEN BY IBM PROGRAMMERS.AN
D RE-EDITED FOR THE C-64. VERY.GENERIC
STUFF. I'D SUGGEST ABACUS.AND COMPUTE!
BOOKS. AS STATED.EARLIER, WE'RE IN THE
EARLY STAGES OF.PRODUCING A PROGRAMMING
DISK SET THAT.STARTS AT THE BEGINNING AN
D ENDS WITH.ADVANCED ML TECHNIQUES. PLU
S YOU'LL.GET OUR BEST UTILITIES, MODIFIE
D AND.UPDATED. I DON'T THINK IT CAN BE.
BEAT ONCE IT'S PUT TOGETHER...LETTER QUA
LITY OUTPUT? THERE ARE A.FEW THINGS YOU
CAN DO -- ALL OF THEM.INCLUDE BUYING A
BETTER PRINTER. A.STAR NX-1000 IS VERY
CHEAP (AROUND.$130 FROM TENEX), AND HAS
A DECENT.NEAR LETTER QUALITY MODE. IT'L
L ALSO.BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL THE GRAPHI
C.PROGRAMS OUT THERE. BUT IT'S NOT.TRUE
LETTER QUALITY. FOR TRUE LETTER.QUALIT
Y, YOU'LL HAVE TO GO FOR A.24-PIN PRINTE
R, LASER PRINTER OR A.DAISYWHEEL. BUT L
ASER PRINTERS ARE.VERY EXPENSIVE, ESPECI
ALLY TO.MAINTAIN. DAISYWHEELS OFFER HIG
H.RESOLUTION OUTPUT THAT APPROACHES THE.
MOLECULAR LEVEL WITH CARBON FILM.RIBBONS
, BUT THEY ARE SLOW, NOISY,.AND AREN'T D
ESIGNED TO DO GRAPHICS.LIKE LASER PRINTE
RS AND DOT MATRIX.ARE. A 24-PIN PRINTER
IS THE HAPPY.MEDIUM. THEIR OUTPUT IS C
RISP ENOUGH.THAT IT'S REFERRED TO AS "LE
TTER.QUALITY" RATHER THAN "NEAR LETTER.Q
UALITY". YOU GET SPEED, QUIET, AND.COST
EFFECTIVENESS. I'VE SEEN EPSON.24-PIN
PRINTERS FOR SALE AT WAL-MART.FOR $199.
I GOT MY PANASONIC.KX-P1123 FOR $219 AT
TENEX...A NOTE ABOUT THE NX-1000C: IF
YOU.CAN AFFORD A COUPLE OF BUCKS EXTRA.F
OR THE NX-1000II OR ANOTHER PARALLEL.PRI
NTER LIKE THE PANASONIC KX-P1123,.GET IT
. THEY REQUIRE A PRINTER.INTERFACE BUT
IT'S BETTER. FENDER'S.STAR NX-1000II OF
FERS BETTER OUTPUT.THAN HIS COMMODORE-RE
ADY STAR.NX-1000C. YOU CAN ALSO USE YOU
R.NON-COMMODORE PRINTER ON OTHER.COMPUTE
RS, WHICH OPENS UP MORE.POTIENTIAL BUYER
S IF YOU WANT TO SELL.IT. IT ALSO ALLOW
S SHARING IF YOU.OWN MORE THAN ONE TYPE
OF COMPUTER....DEAR LOADSTAR,.. I WOU
LD LIKE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH.I ENJOY YOU
R COMPUTER MAGAZINE. I'M.64 AND STILL T
RY TO KEEP MYSELF BUSY..I FIND MY C-128
A GOOD COMPANION. I.SPEND HALF THE DAY
ON IT. WHEN I WAS.INTRODUCED TO LOADSTA
R, I SPENT THE.WHOLE DAY ON IT. COULDN'
T SEEM TO.PULL MYSELF AWAY FROM IT. I G
UESS.THAT PROVES HOW GOOD THE PROGRAMS.A
RE. I HAVE ONE COMMENT: THE MUSIC.IN S
ILVERY MOON WAS GREAT BUT THE.WORDS DID
NOT SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN..WAS THAT A BU

PROGRAMS USING THE.HEARSAY 1000. PROGRA

THAN ANYTHING. THE ART.SHOULD STAND ON
