This article describes a program which lets you easily install customizing routines, such as a RAMdisk and clock card drivers, on bootup into ProDOS, It mimics, under ProDOS 8, the SYSTEM.SETUP feature of ProDOS 16. It is emphatically placed in the public domain: I urge software publishers to take it and include it where appropriate with their own programs. I only ask that you take the program unmodified. It would be unfortunate if variants of the program spread around, each…

How many of you remember Little Brickout? If you do, you may be dating yourself, because it goes back almost ten years. A Lo-Res [gasp] graphics game played with the game paddles, Brickout’s simple object was to knock bricks out of a wall with a bouncing ball. How far things have come since then! Once upon a time, personal computers were thought of as little more than sophisticated toys, good only for playing games. Little did we know or foresee,…

Murray Arnow/Call -A.P.P.L.E. staff writerJune 1983 / PP 49-52 Apple CP/M is probably the least documented of the operating systems available to Apple users. With this in mind, I hope to share some of the information I have been able to gather on the 2-80 Soft Card and the associated Microsoft implementation of CP/M. Before I begin, let me urge the reader to refer to the series of articles by Gregg Tibbetts in Softalk magazine titled SoftCard Symposium. The latter…

by Val J. Golding Call-A.P.P.L.E. Magazine March 1983 PP81 CP/MUFFIN was a rush job. We had a story submitted to us on Wordstar on a CP/M formatted diskette. Fortunately for us, we had just published a story in the December Call -A.P.PL.E. by Art Messler, which pretty well explained the structure of a CP/M directory. As it turned out, the clues in that story were sufficient to start us on the right path. We were working in the dark, not…

A Call-A.P.P.L.E. Techniqueby Mat DavisCall-A.P.P.L.E. Magazine October 1982 PP17 One of the Apple’s strongest points is its ability to use multiple operating systems such as DOS 3.3 and Pascal. For someone who uses both of these operating systems, there are times when it would be convenient to have disks that both Pascal and DOS could use. Such a disk would be useful for individual users who are trading programs or for user groups who want to have some Pascal programs…

By Thomas G. WilliamsCall -A.P.P.LE. July 1982 PP79 THE Symbol Symon symbolic debugger is a major improvement over the capability included in the Apple ][ monitor. Unfortunately, it does not know about the Big Mac.LC assembler and thus can not save or use the symbol table produced by Big Mac.LC. Symbol Symon can be used without a symbol table, but you lose the capability to refer to locations by name instead of address. Fortunately, the Big Mac.LC symbol table is…

Our tasks arc to develop a CAI author Language for the microcomputer; add graphics to the format that in the past used…

by Ted Perry Call-A.P.P.L.E. MagazineJuly / August 1979 When I was asked to help put together a CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction) subgroup, I naively said I would. The demands of correspondence quickly overran my capabilities to respond and the initial influx of programs overran my ability to document. Now with the help of a group of dedicated computer aficionados, the correspondence is under control and the documentation is in process. In this first article I would like to describe the…

Much of this issue of Call-A.P.P.L.E. was done 0n our own Apple II Computer, nobly assisted by an Integral Data IP-225 printer, along with our own modification of Phil Roybal’s Lower Case Character Generating Program (See Contact, May, 1978) The IP-225 has performed beautifully,  and because you can software-select eight different type fonts, It is ideal for this task.  We believe the smallest available type face, which we are using here, is easily readable, and it contributes further by making…

This month, we have a number of brief programming aids. For starters, here is how you can break your long PRINT statements in pages:For more than two pages, use this subroutine, inserting the GOSUB after 20 or less lines: 200 VTAB 22:PRINT “HIT RETURN FOR NEW PAGE”: CALL -676: CALL 936: RETURN. This will halt the program with a bell, and wait for a Return to resume. To correct a line in a program listing, POKE __, 33 before listing….
