U M..DEAR LOADSTAR,.. IN VOCAB BY TH
OMAS JOHNSON (ON.LOADSTAR #45), I CAN'T
GET TO THE.SECTION DEFINED IN THE COMMOD
ORE.MAGAZINE (FEB. 1988) AS COLOR.SELECT
ION. I TRIED LISTING THE.PROGRAM AND TH
EN WAS GOING TO COMPARE.THE DISK LISTING
WITH THE ONE IN THE.MAGAZINE BUT THERE
IS SUCH A.DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO I THOUGH
T I.WOULD WRITE TO YOU FOR YOUR.ASSISTAN
CE... A.R.GEREN.
KALAMAZOO, MI...>THE PROGRAMS
PUBLISHED IN COMMODORE.>MAGAZINE (OR AN
Y PAPER MAGAZINE) ARE.>"BARE BONES" PROG
RAMS SO THAT READERS.>WON'T HAVE SO MUCH
TO TYPE IN. SINCE.>LOADSTAR DOES ALL O
F THE TYPING FOR.>YOU WE GENERALLY SPRUC
E UP ALL OF.>THESE PROGRAMS. WE CHANGED
THE.>COLORS OF VOCAB SO MUCH THAT WE FE
LT.>THAT THE COLOR-SELECTION MODULE WAS.
>SUPERFLUOUS AND UNWORKABLE..-----------
---------------------------........DEAR
LOADSTAR,.. I AM LOOKING FOR A PROGRAM
THAT.CAN SEND IMAGES FROM VCR TO DISK A
ND.THEN BE ABLE TO LIST THE IMAGE IN.BAS
IC SO IT COULD BE CHANGED...>HMMM, IT SO
UNDS LIKE YOU ARE.>INTERESTED IN A VIDEO
DIGITIZER..>"COMPUTER EYES" BY DIGITAL
VISION.>IS THE FIRST ONE FOR THE C-64 TH
AT.>COMES TO MIND. IT RETAILS FOR.>$129
.00. THAT'S WITHOUT THE VIDEO.>CAMERA.
BUT THE VIDEO OUTPUT FROM.>ANY VCR SHOU
LD DO FINE. THE IMAGES.>CAPTURED VIA A D

AGES INTO NEWSROOM.>AND GEOS PICTURES.
ASK YOUR LOCAL.>DEALER FOR FURTHER INFOR
MATION.... CAN YOU GET COLOR RIBBONS F
OR THE.LX-800? IF SO IS THERE A PROGRAM
.THAT REMEMBERS LINE NUMBERS AND ONLY.PR
INTS LINES IN A COLOR YOU HAVE.SELECTED?

------....DEAR LOADSTAR,.. I HAVE TRI
ED TO LOAD THE HIDE AND.SEEK GAME AND MY
DISK LIGHT KEEPS.FLICKERING DURING THE
LOADING AND.HAMMERS LIKE IT DOES WHEN I
FORMAT A.DISK. THEN THE DRIVE SIMPLY LO
CKS.UP. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE.T
EXT DESCRIBING THE TEMPERED FUN.PROGRAM.
STARTING FROM THE FOURTH.PAGE, THE TEXT
WENT OUT OF THE WINDOW.AND I GET RANDOM
LETTERS. EVEN THE.SCREEN SWITCHER PROG
RAM LOCKS UP THE.DRIVE...>WITH THAT MANY
PROBLEMS ON ONE DISK.>IT'S EITHER A BAD
DISK OR A.>MISALIGNED DRIVE. WE'LL REP
LACE THE.>DISK IF IT'S BAD... ALSO, A
S LONG AS I AM CRYING IN MY.KOOL AID MY
OLD SX-64 DOESN'T LOAD.LIKE IT USED TO.
SINCE YOU CHANGED.SOME OF THE INSIDE WO
RKINGS, I CANNOT.LOAD THE DISK BY PRESSI
NG.SHIFT-RUN/STOP. MY MONITOR JUST GOES
.SO FAR, THEN IT SAYS "READY" AND.LOCKS
UP ON ME. I EVEN TRIED PRESSING.COMMODO
RE-RUN/STOP AS YOU SUGGESTED.IN YOUR ISS
UE 49. I HAVE TO LOAD."STAR",8 AND TYPE
"RUN" BEFORE I CAN.GET IT TO LOAD. SHA
ME ON YOU GUYS..YOU MADE ME LAZY AND NOW
YOU ARE.FORCING ME TO WORK...

AR LOADSTAR,.. MY LETTER CONCERNS THE
RELEASE OF.THE OPTICAL DISK AND THE TAP
E STREAM.STORAGE METHODS. I WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW.IF YOU WOULD BE SUPPORTING THESE
