ELLO OUT THERE. WELCOME TO."TOOLING ARO
UND," A COLUMN DEDICATED.TO THE CREATIVE
USE OF YOUR C-64 OR.C-128... I'LL BE
T YOU NOTICED THE LITTLE.PLAY ON THE PHR
ASE "FOOLING AROUND".IN THIS COLUMN'S TI
TLE. WHICH MIGHT.LEAD ONE (SAY YOU) TO
WONDER, IS.THIS COLUMN GOING TO BE ABOUT
.SERIOUS (A LA TOOLING) COMPUTER USE.OR
FUN (A LA FOOLING) COMPUTER USE..IT'S A
GOOD QUESTION AND IT MERITS A.RESPONSE O
F SOME LENGTH.... BOTH. ON THE SERIO
US SIDE OF.THINGS, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT.
COMPUTERS ARE TOOLS WHICH, UNDER THE.SKI
LLFUL HAND OF A CREATIVE PERSON,.CAN PRO
DUCE AMAZING THINGS. USEFUL.THINGS. CR
EATIVE THINGS. THAT'S.WHAT TOOLS ARE FO
R: TO MAKE THE JOB.OF CRAFTING THINGS EA
SIER FOR THE.CRAFTSMAN. UNFORTUNATELY,
SOMEWHERE.ALONG IN THOSE EARLY DAYS OF.P
ERSONAL COMPUTING, COMPUTERS LOST.THAT F
UNCTION. THEY WERE, AS MANY.HAVE OBSERV
ED, A SOLUTION IN SEARCH.OF A PROBLEM.
REMEMBER SOME OF THE."PROBLEMS" COMPUTER
S SOLVED FOR US.ALL? CHECKBOOK BALANCIN
G AND RECIPE.DATABASES, SOMETHING MOST O
F US DID.MUCH BETTER WITH PAPER AND PEN.
.. WELL, TIMES HAVE CHANGED..COMPUTER
S REALLY HAVE BECOME TOOLS --.WORD TOOLS
, DATA TOOLS, PICTURE.TOOLS, MUSIC TOOLS
. AND LIKE ANY.AREA OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR T
HAT INVOLVES.TOOLS, AN ART AND A SCIENCE
HAS.SPRUNG UP ON THE SUBJECT OF HOW TO.
MAKE THOSE TOOLS WORK BETTER, STAY.SHARP
LONGER, AND DO MORE. THAT'S.ONE THING
"TOOLING AROUND" WILL TRY.TO DO: GIVE Y
OU TIPS AND TRICKS ON.HOW TO USE AND MAI
NTAIN YOUR.COMPUTER TOOLS........ THA
T'S ON THE SERIOUS SIDE. ON.THE "FOOLIN
G AROUND" SIDE OF THINGS.WE WILL LOOK AT
THE OTHER AREA THAT.COMPUTING HAS EVOLV
ED INTO: HAVING.FUN. FOR INSTANCE, IN A
N UPCOMING.ARTICLE WE'LL DO SOME SERIOUS
.THINKING ABOUT GAME-MAKING WITH A.LOOK
AT SOME OF THE GAME-MAKING.SOFTWARE THAT
'S OUT THERE... IF THAT SOUNDS A LITT
LE LIKE.USING A COMPUTER AS A TOOL, THEN
MY.POINT IS CLEAR. BECAUSE THAT'S MY.V
ISION OF COMPUTERS IN PARTICULAR.AND WOR
K AND PLAY IN GENERAL... IN A.HEALTHY EN
VIRONMENT THE TWO MERGE..... THE BEST
COMPUTER GAME IN.TOWN IS PROGRAMMING, E
SPECIALLY AT.MACHINE LANGUAGE LEVEL. TH
E MOST.PRODUCTIVE THING I DO WITH MY.MAC
HINE -- WRITING -- IS ALSO THE.MOST ENJO
YABLE... NOW YOU KNOW WHERE I'M COMI
NG.FROM. AND NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THIS.CO
LUMN IS GOING. AND NOW WE'RE.GOING TO D
O SOME SERIOUS (BUT FUN).HOOD-UP, TROUBL
E-LIGHT LIT, LATE-.NIGHT-IN-THE-GARAGE T
OOLING AROUND..UH, COULD YOU HAND ME A 7
/16THS OPEN-.END WRENCH? THANKS......
TO BEGIN, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT.HOW YOU
R COMMODORE MACHINE CAN, WITH.A LITTLE H
ELP FROM A CRAFTSMAN (I'M.TALKING ABOUT
YOU), HELP EDUCATE.OTHERS. WHAT YOU'LL
NEED FOR OUR.OPENING SESSION IS GEOS AND
A FONT.FILE ON THIS DISK CALLED "HAND S
IGNS,".A FONT BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL
.HAND SIGNS ALPHABET FOR THE DEAF...
YOU MAY WONDER WHAT GOOD IS A FONT.OF HA
ND SIGNS. I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE.THE DEA
F NEED HAND SIGNS FOR READING..INDEED, T
HEY DON'T. BUT THIS FONT IS.CREATED MOR
E FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T.DEAF AND WHO DON'
T KNOW THE HAND SIGN.ALPHABET. HELP THA
T CROWD AND YOU'LL.INDIRECTLY HELP THE D
EAF... "HAND SIGNS" IS A 21-POINT FON
T..I CHOSE THAT SIZE BECAUSE IT'S THE.SA
ME VERTICAL DIMENSION AS A SPRITE.AND I
HAD SUBLIMINAL THOUGHTS ABOUT.USING THES
E CHARACTERS IN OTHER WAYS.THAN JUST AS
A FONT. (TIME WILL TELL.IF THAT HAPPENS
.) IT'S ABOUT 4000.BYTES LONG, INCLUDES
THE BASIC.PUNCTUATION (PERIODS, COMMAS,
ETC.),.AND HAS BOTH UPPER AND LOWERCASE
.CHARACTERS. THAT'S NO BIG DEAL.BECAUSE
THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN.UPPER AND
LOWERCASE HAND SIGNS BUT I.DESIGNED THE
FONT THIS WAY JUST IN.CASE USERS HAVE T
HE CAPS-LOCK KEY.DOWN..... THE EDUCAT
IONAL VALUE OF USING.THIS FONT IS NOT RE
ADILY APPARENT..THERE IS SOME VALUE IN S
IMPLY TYPING.LETTERS AND SEEING WHAT ARE
THE HAND.SIGNS FOR THOSE LETTERS. IF Y
OU.SELECT HAND SIGNS AS YOUR FONT IN.GEO
WRITE, THAT'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN..BUT THIS
IS A LIMITED VALUE WHICH.DOES NOTHING T
O REALLY FURTHER THE.COMPUTER AS A TOOL.
ONE MIGHT AS.WELL GET A CHART OF THE H
AND SIGN.ALPHABET AND LOOK AT IT, A MUCH
.SIMPLER SOLUTION........ HOWEVER, IF
ONE WERE TO USE THIS.FONT TO TYPE CRYPT
OGRAMS (CODES WITH.LETTER-BY-LETTER SUBS
TITUTIONS), ONE.COULD EASILY CREATE CRYP
TOGRAMS WITH.SOLUTIONS WHICH OTHERS COUL
D TRY TO.DECIPHER. IN THE PROCESS, THE
CODE-.CRACKER WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY PICK UP.
SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THE HAND SIGN.ALPHABET
. ANYONE COULD TYPE A.MESSAGE WITH A RE
GULAR ENGLISH FONT,.THEN HIGHLIGHT THE T
EXT AND CHANGE.THE FONT TO "HAND SIGNS".
AN ANSWER.KEY IS A SNAP TO MAKE ALSO;
JUST.DUPLICATE THE MESSAGE AND CHANGE IT
.BACK TO ENGLISH...... IT DEFINITELY
EDUCATES. I USE.THIS FONT TO PRODUCE CR
YPTOGRAMS FOR.THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS I
TEACH..NOT ONLY DOES IT HELP THEM TO LE
ARN.THE HAND SIGN ALPHABET, IT ALSO.REIN
FORCES CONCEPTS ABOUT THE SYMBOLIC.NATUR
E OF LANGUAGE, CONCEPTS I.STRESS. IT DO
ESN'T TAKE A LOT OF.CREATIVE ENERGY TO F
IGURE OUT HOW.USING FONTS IN THIS WAY OP
ENS UP A.WHOLE NEW WAY OF INTRODUCING ST
UDENTS.TO UNUSUAL ALPHABETS. I'M THINKI
NG.ABOUT DOING SEVERAL MORE: ANCIENT.PH
OENICIAN, BRAILLE, AND GREEK....... T
HIS SIMPLE FONT HAS INCREASED.OUR COMPUT
ER'S USE AS A TOOL -- A.TOOL TO EDUCATE.
CREATING THIS TOOL.REQUIRED ANOTHER TO
OL, A FONT.EDITOR. IF YOU OWN FONTPACK
PLUS.YOU'VE GOT ONE FOR GEOS FONTS. FOR
.NON-GEOS FONTS, THERE'S FONT MAKER 80.O
N LOADSTAR 128 #3... WHEN BERKELEY SO
FTWORKS INVENTED.GEOS I DOUBT THEY WERE
THINKING ABOUT.ITS GREAT VALUE AS A CRYP
TOGRAM.GENERATOR FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE
S..GOOD TOOLS HAVE A WAY OF BECOMING.BET
TER TOOLS. IT JUST TAKES SOME.CREATIVE
TOOLING AROUND..... FOR THOSE WHO ARE
WONDERING, I.USED THE WORD "TOOL" OR A
FORM OF IT.23 TIMES IN THIS ARTICLE. NO
RMALLY,.I WOULD SEEK SYNONYMS TO AVOID T
HIS.MUCH USE, BUT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A
.POINT -- COMPUTERS ARE GREAT TOOLS..(OO
PS, THERE GOES NUMBER 24.).ANYWAY, I HOP
E MY POINT HAS BEEN.HAMMERED HOME. BY T
HE WAY, THANKS TO.MY WORDPROCESSOR'S SEA
RCH FEATURE FOR.MAKING THE COUNTING FAST
AND ACCURATE..ANOTHER TOOL INSIDE A TOO
L. (THAT'S.25 AND 26.).
