..^U:DISKOVERY. WHAT REALLY GOES ON AT
THE TOWER.. BY FENDER TUCKER.
. SINCE I TOTALLY DESTROYED MY.INCRED
IBILITY BY FESSING UP ABOUT THE.HEIGHT O
F THE LOADSTAR TOWER, I.THOUGHT YOU MIGH
T LIKE FOR ME TO.CONTINUE IN THE SAME VE
IN AND LET YOU.KNOW WHAT OUR DAYS ARE RE
ALLY LIKE..AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE HAV
E A LOT.OF FREEDOM HERE IN THE COMMODORE
.BRANCH BECAUSE ALL OF THE BIG WHEELS.AT
SOFTDISK PUBLISHING ARE IBM AND.MACINTO
SH USERS WHO ARE AFRAID TO SIT.DOWN IN F
RONT OF A C-64 -- AFTER ALL,.A PHOTOGRAP
HER FROM BYTE MIGHT PASS.BY.... AS YO
U CAN IMAGINE, I WELCOME.THIS FREEDOM; I
T LETS ME WRITE STUFF.LIKE THIS... WE
HAVE TWO DEADLINES THAT WE TRY.TO MEET:
THE BETA DEADLINE, WHICH IS.ON THE 15TH
, AND THE MASTER DEADLINE,.WHICH IS ON T
HE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH..AS THESE DEADL
INES LOOM, I BECOME.IRRITABLE AND FAIRLY
INACCESSIBLE. I.LET LETTERS PILE UP IN
MY IN-BOX AND.IGNORE PROGRAM SUBMISSION
S. THIS IS.WHY IT SOMETIMES TAKES A LON
G TIME TO.HEAR FROM US, AND OTHER TIMES,
WE.RESPOND RIGHT AWAY...... JEFF IS
THE MASTER BASIC.PROGRAMMER HERE AND SCO
TT IS THE ML.AND GEOS GUY. AFTER I DECI
DE WHAT'S.GOING TO BE ON AN ISSUE, I ENT
ER IT.ONTO A BIG BOARD ON THE WALL. (TH
E.MAIN LOADSTAR OFFICE SOMEWHAT.RESEMBLE
S THE WAR ROOM IN "DR..STRANGELOVE".) I
DIVIDE UP THE.PROGRAMS BETWEEN THE THRE
E OF US.ACCORDING TO OUR PARTICULAR AREA
S OF.EXPERTISE. THIS IS WHY WE SOMETIME
S.SAY, "I DUNNO" WHEN ASKED ABOUT A.PROG
RAM. IT MAY "BELONG" TO SOMEONE.ELSE...
.... WHEN YOU ADD UP THE PROGRAMS AND
.ARTICLES ON A TYPICAL LOADSTAR.(AROUND
15) AND DIVIDE BY THE NUMBER.OF WORKING
DAYS IN A MONTH, YOU CAN.SEE THAT WE CAN
'T AFFORD TO SPEND TOO.MUCH TIME ON A PR
OGRAM OR ARTICLE... WHEN THE BETA COP
IES OF THE DISK.GO OUT TO THE BETA TESTE
RS, WE.BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF AND THEN
.WORK FOR A FEW DAYS ON SPECIAL.PROJECTS
OR PROGRAMS THAT WE,.OURSELVES, ARE WRI
TING. MORE ON THIS.LATER....... WE C
ONSTANTLY TEST THE PROGRAMS..SOME OF OUR
READERS, UPON GETTING A.BAD DISK OR FIN
DING A BUG IN A.PROGRAM, SEND US LETTERS
SAYING,."DON'T YOU GUYS EVER TRY THESE.
PROGRAMS BEFORE PUBLISHING THEM?".LET ME
STATE FOR THE RECORD -- BEFORE.A PROGRA
M GETS TO YOU, WE ARE.THOROUGHLY SICK OF
IT. IT'S OUR JOB... PROGRAMMING IS
FUN, AS ANY C-64.PROGRAMMER KNOWS, BUT W
E DON'T HAVE.THE LUXURY OF PROGRAMMING A
LL DAY..THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF MUNDANE T
HINGS.THAT NEED TO BE DONE, ESPECIALLY N
OW.THAT SOFTDISK IS A BIG COMPANY AND IS
.AFFLICTED WITH LITIGAPHOBIA -- FEAR.OF
LAWSUITS.. ONE NON-PROGRAMMING THING
WE.REALLY ENJOY IS READING LOADSTAR.MAIL
. TWO YEARS AGO I USED TO WRITE.THREE-P
AGE LETTERS TO READERS.EXPLAINING HOW TO
USE PRINT SHOP OR.SPRITES OR WHATEVER,
BUT THOSE DAYS.ARE GONE. I ALSO USED TO
WRITE.DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS.
ABOUT WHAT I WANTED THEM TO CHANGE IN.TH
EIR PROGRAM... NOW, ON THE TWO OR THR
EE DAYS A.MONTH THAT JEFF AND I DEVOTE T
O.ANSWERING VIEWER MAIL, WE HAVE TO.DASH
OUT QUICKIES TO ABOUT ONE.HUNDRED READE
RS EACH. DON'T STOP.WRITING! JUST KEEP
IN MIND THAT WE.TYPE WITH TWO FINGERS A
ND, EVERY ONCE.IN A WHILE, A THUMB...
PERIODICALLY, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO.COME U
P WITH "BONUS" DISKS OR SPECIAL.PROJECTS
, FOR WORKING ON IN OUR."SPARE TIME". S
ONGSMITH, GRAPHICS.GALLERY AND THE BEST
OF LOADSTAR.SERIES ARE EXAMPLES. ALREAD
Y IN THE.BOX IS MUSIC BY MARQUIS, A COLL
EC-.TION OF FORTY-EIGHT GREAT TUNES BY.D
AVE MARQUIS. COMING UP SOON IS.GEOPOWER
TOOLS BY SCOTT RESH, A.COLLECTION OF HI
S SUPER UTILITIES..ON THE BACK WOULD BE
SOME TERRIFIC.CLIP ART FOR GEOPAINT. TH
E SECRET.BEHIND ALL THIS CLIP ART IS THA
T.SCOTT FIGURED OUT A WAY TO PORT THE.CL
IP ART FROM SOFTDISK'S MACINTOSH.MAGAZIN

OGRAM SUBMISSIONS WE GET EACH.MONTH, A D
ISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF.THEM ARE GAMES
. I HATE TO TURN DOWN.A GREAT GAME JUST
BECAUSE WE HAVE.ENOUGH FOR LOADSTAR, SO
I PROPOSED AN.ALL-GAMES DISK... THES
E SPECIAL PRODUCTS WILL.PROBABLY CARRY A
$19.95 PRICE TAG,.WITH A SPECIAL DISCOU
NT FOR LOADSTAR.SUBSCRIBERS. DON'T HOLD
ME TO THIS,.BUT I'M PUSHING FOR $9.95,
THE SAME.AS LOADSTAR ON THE NEWSSTAND...
. JOEL REA IS OUR PHONE TECHNICAL.SUP
PORT GUY. HE'S PROBABLY THE ONE.YOU TAL
K TO IF YOU CALL WITH A.PROBLEM. I'D LI
KE TO SAY THAT JOEL.KNOWS A LITTLE ABOUT
EVERYTHING.CONCERNING COMPUTERS, BUT I'
M AFRAID.HE KNOWS A LOT ABOUT EVERYTHING
.CONCERNING COMPUTERS. I HAVEN'T BEEN.A
BLE TO GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM.HIM IN
TWO YEARS, BUT HE APPARENTLY.DOES A GOO
D JOB WITH CUSTOMERS... RHONDA AND CH
ERYL ARE OUR.SUPER-EFFICIENT SECRETARIES
WHO KEEP.ALL OF THE PROGRAMMERS FROM BL
EEDING.TO DEATH FROM PAPERCUTS. THEY AR
E.THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE TOWER....
WE'RE ALWAYS WORKING ON TWO.ISSUES AT A
TIME (NOT TO MENTION.LOADSTAR 128) SO T
HAT'S WHY I CAN.SAFELY SAY THAT NEXT MON
TH'S ISSUE,.LOADSTAR #68, WILL HAVE OUR
USUAL.GAMUT OF PROGRAMS. KING'S RANSOM,
BY.SCOTT ELDER, IS AN ARCADE GAME THAT.
IS AS GOOD AS ANY OF THE COMMERCIAL.GAME
S YOU SEE ADVERTISED FOR $19.95..DAVE JO
HANNSEN'S QUADRILATION SORT OF.REMINDS M
E OF TETRIS BUT IS MUCH.BIGGER IN SCOPE.
IT'S LIKE FIVE.TETRIS'S IN ONE PACKAGE
. MARTY.MATTHEWS' FUTURE FINANCES IS TH
E.CULMINATION OF HIS LENDER/INVESTOR.WOR

56) TO SEND IN THIS YEAR'S.UPDATE. UNFO
RTUNATELY, THE IRS IS.SLOW TO DISSEMINAT
E IMPORTANT TABLES.AND INFORMATION, AND
JOHN IS IN A.HOLDING PATTERN. IF WE CAN
