- This is a collection of utility programs for LOADSTAR 128 that will be
- published on every issue. By zipping through these menus you can:
-
- (1) Print out a subscription form
-
- (2) Print out a back issue order form
-
- (3) Print out a submission form for sending us a program for consideration
-
- (4) Critique this issue or just write us a note
-
- Just select which of these functions you want to perform by moving the
- highlight bar with the CRSR UP and CRSR DOWN key. Press RETURN to select.
- Since the menu items are numbered, you can just press the number if you
- want. All of the modules return to the main menu of LOADSTAR BRIEFS when
- they are done.

-
- The subscription form gives you all the information you need to become a
- regular subscriber to LOADSTAR 128. You may use your favorite plastic in
- lieu of a check. Please tell us if you are a new subscriber or are renewing
- a current subscription.
-
- If you are subscribing from a country outside the United States, the
- payment must be in US funds. Checks or money orders must be drawn on a US
- bank.
-
- The submission form is for sending us your latest program gem. It is
- important that you fill out every blank and sign down at the bottom,
- certifying that the program is your own original work. Your phone number(s)
- and the start-up filename are very important. While you're at it, send as
- much documentation about the program as you can. However, don't print out
- BASIC or ML listings.
-
- The back issue form will let you easily purchase any LOADSTAR 128 back
- issue. After printing, just circle the issue(s) you want, enclose a check,
- money order, or credit card, and pop it in the mail.

-
- Here at LOADSTAR there's nothing we appreciate more than feedback. If
- you tell us what you think about what we publish, there's a better chance
- that we'll publish what you want.
-
- Instead of asking you for a letter grade or a quick comment, LOADSTAR
- 128 CRITIQUE will prompt you with the name of each feature or article on the
- issue and give you a six-line window for entering your comments. The window
- is a free-form entry box, so just type whatever you want and press F1 when
- done with that comment. CLR, HOME, INSert, DELete, etc. all work as you'd
- expect them to. Double quotes will be automatically changed to single
- quotes. F1 will exit the window and take you to the next feature's prompt.
- Be a little patient when you press F1 -- the routine is in BASIC and may
- take four or five seconds to format your response.
-
- You can exit early by pressing the ESC key. Then you're given the
- option of printing your critique for sending to LOADSTAR 128, or returning
- to the LOADSTAR Briefs menu.
-
- The program will ask for your name and address first. Please enter this
- so we can respond to any questions you may ask. If you don't ask any
- questions we probably won't answer, but we're always interested in your
- opinions. The last prompt asks for comments on anything else. If you've
- mentioned a problem with any of the programs, please let us know what
- hardware you're using that might account for the problem. Cartridge
- fastloaders, cartridge expanders, printer interfaces, etc. all can affect
- programs in unforeseen ways.
