-
- I'm using a C-64, 1541 Disk Drive, and
-
- an Epson MX-80 FT/Card? interface. I
-
- am having difficulty getting tabs set
-
- in programming to work on the printer.
-
- Tabs work fine on a terminal display
-
- but stagger across the page when
-
- printed by the Epson. Are there any
-
- others who have encountered and hope-
-
- fully solved this problem? Help would
-
- be appreciated.

- >John, you did not say if the CARD/
-
- >you are using is the A, B, or +G mo-
-
- >del. If it is the +G (this also
-
- >works for a 1525, 1525E, or even the
-
- >Tymac Connection Interface), you can
-
- >use the 1525's Column Tabbing com-
-
- >mand. For example, to print "Price"
-
- >then tab over to column 24 and print
-
- >"$19.95", try this:
-
-
- > PRINT#4,"PRICE";CHR$(16);"24$19.95"
-
-
- >The basic form of a 1525 column tab
-
- >is CHR$(16) followed by 2 digits for
-
- >the column to tab to. For the Card/
-
- >?A or B, you must use Epson's own
-
- >tabbing command. Check your MX-80
-
- >owner's manual for more info.

- Does anyone have a suggestion to
-
- help me improve my Datasette connect-
-
- ion to the 64? My cable keeps coming
-
- loose from the computer. I have to
-
- actually hold it in place!
-
- --------------------------------------
- Does anyone
-
- know of some good Computer Wargames
-
- that will run on a 64? I would like
-
- to see some that are similiar to the
-
- Avalon Hill, SPI, TSR, GDW games. I
-
- guess I want realism without all the
-
- die rolling and rules reading! The
-
- best one I have so far is Knights of
-
- the Desert. Get in touch if you know
-
- of some good computer wargames.

-
- I am a music teacher and semi-pro mu-
-
- sician. I am looking for a good music
-
- program for the C-64, something which
-
- will allow me to save a composition
-
- on a disk and to print out my composi-
-
- tions. I have seen many adds for mu-
-
- sic programs but the adds don't tell
-
- me enough. Maybe someone in this uni-
-
- verse can help me out.
-
- I am also looking for music educa-
-
- tion software for the C-64. Is there
-
- any out there?

- Currently I have a couple
-
- questions. I hope a fellow astronaut
-
- might come to my aid.
-
- 1. I would like to know what I
-
- can do to my progams (Basic
-
- or ML to make them fly as
-
- soon as they are loaded.
-
- 2. I have a BMC printer. I
-
- would like to know of a
-
- routine that would launch
-
- a hi-res screen out to my
-
- printer.

-
- I am the owner of a C-64 with disk
-
- drive and an IDS Microprism printer
-
- connected by a Cardco interface. I
-
- also own a Word-Pro3 word processing
-
- program. I would very much like to
-
- know a good data management program
-
- that I could use with my Word Pro3
-
- What I mean by good is that it will
-
- have a sort that is fast and flexible,
-
- upper and lower case for mail lists
-
- and addresses etc (m'File will not do
-
- lower case) large records and numerous
-
- files. Word Pro people advise me that
-
- they have no plans to write one but
-
- I should seek one that has
-
- sequential files and this should work
-
- with their program. They suggested
-
- Power File by City Software Distrib
-
- out of Milwakee. Is anyone familiar
-
- with this or other such data
-
- management program that could help me?

- REQUEST LINE:
-
- Several members of our group have
-
- the ' Simon's Basic" program and
-
- are having a great deal of fun with
-
- it . We would be very interested in
-
- hearing from other Loadstar readers
-
- who have SIMON's BASIC and could share
-
- some applications and programming
-
- tips. One item we are trying to
-
- decipher, is how to write text into a
-
- Hires rectangle and to replace the
-
- text without re-building the rectangle
-
- as it is time consuming. The reason
-
- we have the program, is to create some
-
- video titleling for produced Video
-
- Tapes.
-
- Another request, we are looking for
-
- a smooth scroll program that would
-
- enable us to slow smooth scroll sim-
-
- ilar to titling done in professional
-
- movies. Any one with help would be
-
- greatly appreciated.
