By Bob Huelsdonk I wrote this simple program to test new memory chips I bought. Just store the correct end address for your Apple in locations 4 and 5, run 300G and display 800 to the end. 300.32A 0300- A0 00 A9 55 91 02 D1 02 0308- D0 1D A9 AA 91 02 D1 02 0310- D0 15 20 18 03 90 EB 60 0318- A5 02 C5 04 A5 03 E5 05 0320- 3A FF 00 – 4C…
By Val J. Golding At the top of the list is Apple Computer’s new Basic programming manual. This falls just short of being a masterpiece. It is well written and easy to understand, even for a novice like this writer and is printed in a small, easy to handle spiral binding. It starts by introducing simple Basic commands in program format and in each simple program, goes on to bring a new command into action. If you have not yet…
by Dana Redington = Apple Computer, Inc. More word on the utility Rom. In addition to the routines previously mentioned, this Rom will have new high-res operating routines, including a SHAPGEN command that will eliminate the need to manually write HIRES vectors. You will be able to directly address a d0t matrix, and there will also be a HIRES Ascii character set, displayable concurrently with the graphics. The Applesoft Rom board is scheduled for release to dealers July I st…

As stated elsewhere in this issue, Apple Computer plans a new edition of Applesoft on tape about six weeks hence. They have requested that users advise them as soon as possible of any bugs they have encountered. This goes for Integer Basic, as well. This is a project in which EVERYONE can contribute. LET’S DO IT NOW, at this coming meeting. Make a list out, as soon as you read this, any basic bugs you are aware of, and bring…
As we indicated last month, we need your software for our library, in order to make it available to others. You can help cut down on our processing time by observing the following guidelines. All programs should be completely self-prompting. This means all user instructions should be embedded within the program as “print” statements, so the user can run the program Without any additional information at all. Please state the language the program is written in, i. e., Integer BASIC,…

For listings only, a self addressed, stamped envelope. As soon as Val has a printer up…
From Volume 1 Number 2 by Val J. Golding Certain copyrighted programs carry restrictions, in the REMarks lines or elsewhere that they may not be duplicated, reproduced or sold, and for good reason. We would. like to discourage from the.outset, the practice of duplicating. either on tape or by printouts, of any program that has such a restriction. A recent article indicated that the cost per Basic line of debugged software has risen to an all time high of $8….
