..^U:DISKOVERY. DISKOVERY: SECRECY AN D LOADSTAR.. BY FENDER TUCKER. . I JUST READ AN INTERESTING REVIEW.O F A NEW SIMULATION GAME FROM.MICROPROSE CALLED PROJECT: STEALTH.FIGHTER. THE RE VIEWER, WELL-KNOWN.WRITER DAN GUTMAN, ME NTIONED A FEW OF.THE PROGRAM'S FEATURES BUT MAINLY.COMMENTED ON THE FACT THAT TH E.SIMULATION WAS MOSTLY A MATTER OF.GUES SWORK SINCE VERY FEW DETAILS OF.THE ACTU AL STEALTH BOMBER HAVE BEEN.RELEASED BY THE AIR FORCE. FIFTY.BILLION DOLLARS ($ 50,000,000,000.00).HAVE BEEN SPENT AND D ETAILS ARE.UNAVAILABLE TO THE PEOPLE WHO PAID.FOR IT.. I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT LOADSTAR IS.NOT ADOPTING AIR FORCE POLIC IES. OUR.PRICE IS SOMEWHAT MORE AFFORDA BLE,.TOO... LOADSTAR HAS NO SECRETS. WE.DON'T PROTECT OR ENCODE ANYTHING AND .HAVE NEVER PUBLISHED (AT LEAST SINCE.I' VE BEEN HERE) ANY PROTECTION.SCHEMES. I NFORMATION BELONGS TO.EVERYONE AND SHOUL D BE SHARED... IN THIS SPIRIT WE ARE FEATURING.ON THIS ISSUE FOUR OF THE UTIL ITIES.THAT WE WROTE TO MAKE LOADSTAR EAS IER.TO PRODUCE. YOU CAN USE THESE TO.MO DIFY OUR ENVIRONMENT OR, BETTER.YET, USE THEM TO MAKE YOUR OWN.PROGRAMS A LITTLE SNAZZIER.. FOR INSTANCE, WE CREATE J UST.ABOUT ALL OF OUR TEXT FILES WITH.EDS TAR, A NON-DEDICATED FORM OF.DISKWRITER, WHICH IS FOUND ON EVERY.LOADSTAR. DISK WRITER WILL ONLY.CREATE SEQ FILES CALLED "COMMENTS"..THIS IS NOT TOO HANDY, EXCE PT FOR.WRITING TO US ON DISK. WITH EDST AR.YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD TWO-COLUMN.WOR D-PROCESSOR... WE LIKE TO PRINT OUT A LL OF OUR.TEXT FILES FOR PROOF-READING W ITHOUT.HAVING TO LOAD EACH ONE FROM THE. MENU. WITH TEXT PRINTER YOU CAN DO.THIS TOO. IF YOU ARE IN THE HABIT OF.PRINTI NG OUT THE "READ IT" FILES,.YOU'LL FIND THIS A WELCOME ADDITION.TO YOUR PROGRAM ARSENAL.. MIKE MAYNARD'S WINDOWS ROUT INE IS.EXPLAINED IN DETAIL IN THIS ISSUE ..IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AVAILABLE ON.LOADSTAR IMBEDDED IN THE "TEXT.HANDLER.O" FILE, BUT NOW IT'S IN A.FORM THAT YOU CAN EASI LY USE IN YOUR.OWN PROGRAMS. I'M HOPING TO SEE SOME.PROGRAM SUBMISSIONS THAT US E THIS.FAST AND EASY TECHNIQUE IN NEW WA YS... SINCE WE HAVE A COLLECTION OF.P ROGRAMS ON EACH SIDE AND EACH.PROGRAM HA S SEVERAL FILES, THE "LOOK".OF OUR DIREC TORY IS IMPORTANT. IF.THE FILES WERE ST ORED IN A HAPHAZARD.ORDER ON THE DIRECTO RY, NO ONE.(INCLUDING US) WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE.AT A GLANCE WHICH FILES GO WITH W HICH.PROGRAMS. COPYING COULD BE CHAOS.. . CATALOG TOOL IS JUST WHAT YOU.NEED TO REARRANGE THE DIRECTORY ON.ANY DISK A ND HALT THE RISING TIDE OF.CHAOS. IT'S EASY TO USE TOO... WE'VE ALSO TRIED T O BE QUITE OPEN.ABOUT OUR MISTAKES. OUR NEW MENU.SYSTEM TOOK SEVERAL MONTHS OF. EVOLUTION BEFORE WE GOT MOST OF THE.BUGS OUT. THE COPIER PROGRAM HAD.SOME TROUB LE, TOO. I'M HAPPY TO.REPORT THAT JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE.BUGS ON LOADSTAR IN THE LAST YEAR HAVE.BEEN OF THE "ANNOYING" K IND AND NOT.THE (GASP!) "FATAL" VARIETY. .... FOR THOSE WHO DON'T EVEN LIKE TO .BE ANNOYED, WE HAVE ANOTHER.EXTERMINATO R SCHEDULED FOR NEXT.MONTH'S LOADSTAR. IT'S A PROGRAM.THAT WILL FIX THE BUGS FO UND ON THE.LAST TEN OR SO ISSUES... S PEAKING OF NEXT MONTH'S.LOADSTAR, IF YOU HAVEN'T DISCOVERED.THE JOYS OF QUANTUML INK, YOU WON'T.WANT TO MISS IT BECAUSE W E WILL BE.PUBLISHING ALL THE SOFTWARE YO U NEED.TO LOG ON TO THE BEST ON-LINE SER VICE.AROUND. ON QLINK YOU CAN TALK TO J IM.BUTTERFIELD, TIMOTHY LEARY, MAX.HEADR OOM OR EVEN THE LEGENDARY.COMALITE J. C HECK IT OUT.... BUT BEFORE I SO RUDEL Y DIGRESSED.I WAS BABBLING ABOUT SECRECY . ARNOLD.HENDRICK, THE DESIGNER OF PROJ ECT:.STEALTH FIGHTER, WHEN ASKED IF THE. RUSSIANS MIGHT BE ABLE TO GLEAN ANY.SECR ETS ABOUT THE 50 GIGABUCK EPOXY.PLANE BY PIRATING HIS $40 PROGRAM,.HAD THIS TO S AY, "WE DON'T HAVE ANY.ACCESS TO CLASSIF IED INFORMATION. IF.WE DID, WE WOULDN'T USE IT.".APPARENTLY, THE ENCRYPTION AND .PROTECTION SCHEMES THAT THE PRODUCT.UND OUBTEDLY CARRIES ARE NOT AIMED AT.THE RU SSIANS....... WELL, I CAN STATE FOR A FACT THAT.LOADSTAR IS OPEN TO ALL LIFE ON.EARTH, WHETHER UNDER THE DOMINATION.O F A RUSSIAN THUMB OR AN AMERICAN.FINGER. IN THE BEST SENSE OF THE.WORD, LOADSTA R IS TRULY CATHOLIC... LOADSTAR SEMPE R VIVAT, AMEN... **** END OF TEXT ****.
