While we recognize that many users do not have color graphics adapters, we know that most users enjoy an occasional diversion. Here's a look at some shareware programs for those non-business occasions. --J.L. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MARCH MEETING NOTES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Around the Table. We revealed the fact that the "Brown Bag Word processor" which was distributed through PC-Magazine is simply PC- Write 2.55 marketed through another channel. If you want to try the program more than three times, you can obtain an unprotected copy from our librarian for $5. An alternative that appeared after our user group meeting allows you to obtain a working copy of this version of PC-Write by using the DOS DEBUG tool. A file on the bulletin board called BROWNBAG.UNP takes you step by step through the procedure. You don't have to understand what you are doing--simply follow the instructions. I tried it and successfully invoked the word processor twelve successive times, so I assume it works. Another upload, BROWNBAG.ARC, contains this patch plus one called BROWNB.UNP, which I could not successfully implement. Feature. Your overworked editor made a presentation of two DOS- Environment programs--Microsoft's Windows and Quarterdeck's Desqview. Having looked at Windows in the newsletter, we won't say much more about it except to point out that it is full of whistles and bells and runs slow on an 8088 machine. Because Desqview writes to the screen in characters rather than graphics, it is somewhat faster. It is definitely simpler and less confusing than Windows. Either software package works best for users who find themselves constantly program hopping. If that is not your work environment, stick with a good front-end menu system instead. Upcoming Programs. With our president back behind the wheel for April's meeting, we're going to work on simple repair and maintenance routines on your PC. In May we will host a "White Elephant Swap" in which you can bring hardware and software to buy, sell, trade, or whatever. If you have something that would interest others, bring it along to the May meeting and see what happens. [Plans subject to change.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UTILITIES: SD6.COM & SD411.ARC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It would be nice if IBM and Microsoft had released DOS and invited technically minded users to send in modifications to be incorporated in later versions. Alas, corporate pride and legal complications seldom allow such simple solutions to DOS problems. SD6.COM is a tiny 8K program that displays your directory the way DOS should have. The 6 in the program title stands for version six. SD represents "Sorted Directory," which is the classy feature of this little utility. Unlike DOS, SD6 puts the list on the screen at once rather than filling it line by line. Files and information about them are normally listed in two columns. You don't have to worry about the information scrolling off the screen, since you can use the direction keys or the PgUp PgDn keys to move through your list. You have several sort options, which work in memory but do not affect the directory as written on your disk. You can sort by filename, as in DOS, by date, by size, or by extension. Striking one key changes the sorted order on your screen instantly. You can also change the default (name.extension) listing of files when you enter the command by specifying an option--/X = extension; /S = size; /D = date/time. You use the program just like the DOS DIR command. [I've renamed it simply D.COM. Why hit more than one key when you don't have to!] For a list of files with the DOC extension, I simply type: D *.DOC. A related older program in the user group library appears as SD411.ARC. This directory sorting program allows you to identify the files with more than the eight filename characters DOS offers. SD411.COM will create a comment file (SDIR.$$$) when you use the C)omment option. This option allows you to describe the contents of the file. The contents are stored in an ASCII file that can be edited as you wish. If you, like me, wonder what the contents of some of your files might be, this option is a real help. SD411 was developed by Larry Hatt, 76 Melville Dr., Nepan, Ont., K2J2E1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HARDWARE: Low Cost PC's ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A Matter of Reputation. IBM's hold on the PC market has been founded on its reputation for quality. Corporate computer buyers felt safe ordering equipment from IBM. Even if plagued with bugs and downtime, the purchaser would not be fired for buying cheap equipment. The same attitude once prevailed in the PC market. An IBM was a "safe" buy and everything else was questionable--either on the grounds of quality or compatibility. But things are changing. Many of you, like myself, work with "clone" computers. Though the name is derogatory, the performance may not be. Though some IBM-PC compatibles run about as smoothly as 1962 Dodge Valiant, others are earning a reputation for quality and value. Three of the least expensive systems that have earned high marks in trade publications are the Epson Equity one, the Leading Edge model D and the Tandy 1000. Here's how they compare: Full Ports Model Ram Slots Serial Paral $$$ IBM 256 4 0 1 $2820 Tandy 128 0 0 1 $1589 Ld. E 256 4 1 1 $1495 Epson 256 1 1 1 $1573 The prices for all the above include a monochrome video card, monochrome monitor, keyboard and two disk drives. These all come with DOS and BASIC. (Ld. E = Leading Edge model D; Epson = Epson Equity 1) The Tandy has three short slots, the IBM, one. Less Known. Two other computers that are available only through mail order look promising. One contender I have seen no benchmarks on is the Kammerman Labs XT, which offers a 10mb hard disk. The editors of PC-Week gave a favorable review of another $999 computer, the PC- Designs "Plain Vanilla." You can compare these with the four models above. I doubt that these offer DOS or BASIC (as do the computers listed above), since their advertisements do not mention it. Model Ram Slots Serial Paral $$$ KL XT 128 8 n/a n/a $999 (includes 10mb hard disk) PC-De 640 6 2 2 $999 (with 20mb hard disk = $1495.) Of the eight models listed above, only the Leading Edge and the PC- Designs include a clock-calendar. The PC-Designs model is available and requires some assembly using a screwdriver. Incidentally, the Zenith computers now marketed under the Heathkit label now are now kits in name only, since they too require nothing more than a screwdriver to assemble. There is no soldering. Apparently it is less expensive to ship factory-soldered circuit boards than to count out and bag all the resistors, capacitors, and ICU sockets that were part of the kits a year ago. What's Your Experience? If you have first-hand experience with a non-name-brand PC computer, let us know. We'd all like to know how some of the widely-advertised models stack up. Anyone work with the Standard PC/XT, the PC Limited Turbo PC, the Dynamic XT, or the Magnum XT? Let us know which models you would buy or avoid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SOFTWARE: MONOPOLY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- An upgraded version of the classic Parker Brothers game of Monopoly recently appeared on the bulletin board as file MONOP55.ARC. The 64K archive file contains five individual files which uncompress to 89K. The program, written by Don Gibson in Turbo Pascal, is free--no donation is suggested. Play. One of the big advantages of this version of Monopoly is its speed. In the conventional game, much time is spent shuffling dollars across the table and doing simple math. This program lets the players focus on the objective of the game--getting rich and forcing the other players into bankruptcy. Rents, taxes, and other fees are calculated instantly and deducted from the player's cash assets. When property must be sold or mortgaged, the player simply selects the appropriate option to raise the cash needed to meet obligations. Display. At all times the screen shows the cash assets of each player. In addition, when a player has rolled the dice, the screen also shows the holdings of every player, including which properties are mortgaged. The monopoly board itself occupies about one-third of the screen. Rules. This game forces each player to adhere to the Parker Brother rules. You cannot buy property unless you have the cash to do so. You cannot avoid paying rent to a player who overlooks the fact that you are on his property. You cannot borrow or lend to other players. You cannot avoid a 10% fee when unmortgaging property. The firmness of the rules actually makes the game go faster. I found it more enjoyable than playing by various "house rules" others have adopted in the past. Limits. This version requires a minimum of two and a maximum of four players. You have to keep track of the location of each player, since all the playing figures look the same. When it's your turn, the game will move your piece automatically. The only restriction I found really awkward is that you cannot select the property in a color group you want to improve first. For example, if you decide to buy a house and own both Baltic and Mediterranean Avenue, the program automatically places the first house on Baltic. It will develop the properties evenly according to the rules, but you have no choice as to which property will have the advantage when the number of improvements is unequal. Let's Quit. When the dice are shown on the screen you may type the F-2 key to stop the game. You then may quit, continue, or save the game to disk. If you choose to save the game simply enter a legitimate DOS filename and the current information is stored until you wish to resume play. Months or weeks later, simply you can restart the game by pressing F-2 when the 'Name of Players' window appears. Enter the saved filename and you are back where you left off! Summary. The men of my church met together recently for some fun activities, and four of us played Monopoly. All of the men were delighted with the speed of the play and the freedom from onerous bookkeeping. (I was the first to go broke.) It is the first time I've ever seen a four-player game resolved in 90 minutes. Some are already eager to play it again. If you're leery of Monopoly because it turns into an all-day affair, this program will make the board game much more attractive to you. Hats off to Don Gibson! He's made a fine implementation of a classic game. His address is: Don Phillip Gibson, 910 E. 11th, Winfield, KS 67156. The game is available through the RBBS or our librarian. --J.L. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UPGRADING: 256 Chips ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are reluctant to pay a premium price for "factory installed and burned in" chips, you can add memory yourself. Like myself, you may wonder if going the bargain basement route courts disaster. Needing more memory for my RAMpage, I decided to find out. This last month I tried ordering 256K RAM memory chips from a mail order firm I had not done business with before. The firm advertises under at least two different names--CompuAdd in PC World and PC Magazine and PC Source in PC Week. (Anybody know why?) The 256K chips were competitively priced at $29/set, which included shipping and a one-year warranty. I phoned in an order on a Friday afternoon and received the product UPS the following Thursday. I didn't recognize the logo on the chips, though you tech folks probably would. Two of the sets were manufactured in Japan, one in Malaysia. The procedure involves placing the board on a sheet of aluminum foil, then matching the semi-circle on the socket with the semi- circle on the chip. You can install them backwards if you are not careful. Some of the pins may not line up with the sockets. When that happens, it is best to lay the chip on its side and carefully exert pressure on all the pins on one side, bending them inward. This should prevent some of the pins from being dangerously out of alignment with the others. Once the pins are in the sockets, check to make sure they are all in the proper position before forcing the chip all the way in. In my case, the procedure took about fifteen minutes. Power-up produced the best news--no errors on parity check and a beefier available memory. Unless you're the type to force square pegs into round holes, you can handle this kind of upgrade too. - -J.L. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SOFTWARE: CENTIPED.COM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview. Whenever we go to Pizza Hut, my son begs for money to play the centipede arcade game found there. Up to now I have said "No," but felt guilty. Thanks to a recent addition to the user group library of games, I can dispense with the guilt and still avoid spending more money to please my son. CENTIPED.COM is a 14k program file available through the user group or through the remote bulletin board. Like the arcade game, you shoot at a centipede as he crawls in and between mushrooms on the screen. As segments of your crawling adversary are hit, they are transformed into mushrooms. The remaining parts, though disjointed, continue to crawl down toward the bottom of the screen toward you. The mushrooms require four shots to disappear from the screen completely. While you are attempting to blast the insect, you have three other distractions to contend with. A spider hops around the bottom fifth of the screen, seeking to make you his lunch. If you shoot him dead, you earn 300, 600, or 900 points, depending on how close he is to you at the time. Another bug descends vertically from the top of the screen. If you strike him twice, you earn 200 points. Don't let him step on you, or you're dead. The third creature in this game simply zips horizontally across the screen and dares you to shoot him and thus earn 1000 points. You begin the game with three "shooters" and lose when each of them has met an untimely demise by colliding with one of the creepy crawlers on the screen. Each time you add 12000 points to your score, you earn an additional shooter (with a maximum of six). Options. The game offers three levels of difficulty. I found the novice level manageable, the second frenzied, and the third impossible. You can toggle the sound on or off, pause the game, examine the rules and the scoring, or view the high scores. You may also choose one or two players. The game worked well with my numeric keypad and with my Gravis joystick. Calibration of the joystick is refreshingly simple. The display was very nice on my color/graphics adapter. I don't have the equipment to determine if it is monochrome compatible. CENTIPED.EXE was written by R.J. Grafe in 1983. No other information is given on the welcome screen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SOFTWARE: Norton Utilities ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New Users may not realize this, but when your computer "erases" a file, it doesn't touch the information in the file at all. It's still on the disk. What erase does is to change the first character of the file's name on the disk's table of contents (called the File Allocation Table). The space is freed, and other information will be written over your old data in time. Two consequences follow from this fact. First, it is possible (under the right circumstances) to unerase a file. Secondly, files you may have erased--like that nasty letter to your mother-in-law, are not necessarily secure from prying eyes. This is especially true if your mother-in-law has Norton's Utilities. Norton's utilities offer a sure way to erase a file so it cannot be recovered and a way to recover some files that have been erased. WIPEFILE is the name of his program that will erase a file for good. To use the utility, simply type WIPEFILE FILENAME. You could enter A> WIPEFILE MOTHRLAW.DOC for example. Norton's file recovery program will appear to recover files erased using WIPEFILE, but will fail. This is a secure way to obliterate sensitive data. A companion utility WIPEDISK, does as its name suggests. If you really want to clean house on a disk, the WIPEDISK command will do it for you. --J.L. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SOFTWARE: STRIKER.ARC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: The following program was truncated when uploaded to the Fargo Board. It has been deleted until an error-free copy is made available. Overview. STRIKER is a public domain game program which allows you to fly a helicopter on five separate missions. It is essentially a one player game, though it does record the top ten high scores for competitive types. Your first mission begins with five helicopters, so you'll want to preserve as many as possible as you progress into the game. Screen. A mountain terrain scrolls across the screen as you fly your vehicle on its mission. You are armed with bombs and a machine gun, either of which can destroy radar installations, missiles, anti- aircraft guns, fuel tanks, and some aliens. You use the numeric keypad to move the helicopter up and down. You can slow down or speed up the horizontal motion of the craft, but cannot stop your forward progress altogether. Points are awarded as you destroy enemy sites and complete your assigned mission. No points are awarded when you demolish a fuel storage tank, but you do receive additional fuel for doing so. The graphics and sound are very good, and the play is habit-forming. Options. You can choose between four different levels of play. You also can change the palate and even reassign the keys that will control the movement of your helicopter or control your weapons. Limits. Though Striker is fun to play, it contains a few bugs, the worst of which is that I could not terminate the program except by using CTRL-ALT-DEL! It also purports to support joysticks, but did not recognize mine at all. (These bugs may stem from the defective upload.) Requirements. The program will work with DOS 2.0 or later, on a 256K Pcjr or a 64K IBM-PC or compatible that is equipped with a color graphics adapter. Authorship. STRIKER was written by Derek Williams and is copyrighted 1985. The version I downloaded (STRIKER.ARC) compressed nine files totaling 139K into a 69K archive file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EDITOR'S SCREEN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changing Industry. By now, the BIG SHAKEOUT is gaining momentum in the computer industry. The maker of my venerable CP/M machine, George Morrow, filed Chapter 11 last month. Steve Jobs of Apple sold all his stock but for one share as Apple Computers sailed away toward rumored IBM-compatibility. Zenith again proved its ability to win government contracts in the portable PC market. Commodore's Amiga is alive and kicking, still promising a PC emulator. And all the major players are beginning to take notice of a new type of Asian clone (like the Leading Edge and the Epson) that for the first time has a reputation for quality equal to that of its American counterpart. What do these developments mean to us? I see two ramifications. First, there will be less diversity in the home computer market as a whole. As long as MS-DOS remains crucial to marketability, systems designed around other processors, like the Motorola 68000, will remain small players in the game. Secondly, there will be more intensive hardware and software competition within the IBM-compatible market. This trend has already accelerated the development of innovative products like the HardCard disk drive and the expanded memory boards. Cooperation between the optical disk manufacturers promises significant advancements in that field. IBM's problem with the CMI disks for the AT will encourage non-corporate buyers to diversify manufacturers within the MS-DOS world. The end result? More options. Lower prices. Corporate America realizes the cost involved in switching to a new or dramatically different personal computer. The reluctance to mentally re-tool the first generation of computer users will in itself add pressure to lengthen the life of the PC family of computers. All of this means that the best days for those of us who own PC's are yet to come.

If you would like to help replace them, your donations will be appreciated. If you've been delaying signing up for the subscriber board, now would be an excellent time to do so. The board needs the cash for the disks, and you will be able to enjoy improved access to the files. How about it? As soon as Loren can finance new disks, the current ones will be replaced with units storing 45Mb each. That, plus the space gained through formatting the disks under DOS 3.1, will significantly increase the storage capacity of the Fargo Board. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PRESIDENT'S CORNER ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FARGO RBBS UPLOADS 3/15/86 To 4/15/86 APPEND.ARC 15104 03-21-86 Append/Split files - great for PC- Write ARCE120.ARC 7168 03-27-86 ARCE 1.20 - ARC wars continue !!!
