- Question and Answer part 4
- --------------------------------------
-
- From: Peters 01821
-
- I bought Loadstar #15 to get the
-
- programs in PowerPlay. I've had
-
- problems with the Magazine Entry
-
- Program. First, the program won't stay
-
- in the SYS memory. Sometimes when I
-
- write TEST after poking the program
-
- in, the computer gives me a syntax
-
- error. When I list the program I'm
-
- typing from PowerPlay, it displays
-
- the Magazine Entry Program with the
-
- lines I just typed.
-
- Could you help me with these
-
- problems?

-
- I was wondering if there was any
-
- way to do multiple sittings at the
-
- Starline, rather than having to type
-
- everything in at once. This may be a
-
- dumb question, but this is the first
-
- time I've used the improved Starline
-
- program.

-
- HELP!!!
-
- Please...oh, pretty please...tell me
-
- my cranial semiconductors haven't
-
- melted down to a lump of silicon!
-
- Load the abridged version of the
-
- Steinman Spreadsheet found on
-
- LOADSTAR #15 and run it. Make sure
-
- you're in the "input" mode. Now
-
- press f6 (you know -- shift function
-
- key 5). Now tell me, before I have
-
- myself locked away in a rubber room,
-
- that you see a clown with "CUTE ALAN"
-
- written on his chest!
-
- > OK, OK, OK!
- > "Cute Alan" was created to honor
- > the husband of the author,
- > Barbara Steinman. His name, of
- > course, is "Cute".

-
- Reference: Copyright laws that forbid
-
- the purchaser of a software program
-
- from making a copy and giving it
-
- away.
-
- -Could you please state
-
- specifically what law it is that says
-
- this?
-
- -How about also a verbatim quote
-
- from the law that says exactly what
-
- you often say it says? Or is it just
-
- an interpretation of convenience on
-
- the part of software manufacturers?
-
- --Basically I agree with what you
-
- say the copyright law says but am
-
- often put in a vise by friends who
-
- want copies of my commercial programs
-
- and say it is all right. How can I
-
- rebut them based on just sayso? If I
-
- could quote the law itself then it
-
- will end this problem of mine.
