POTPOURRI: ALAN SHARKIS led a discussion about accessing files in the Nassau County Library System and8} the difficulties that the libray system will face if they allow us to do that. ALAN then showed members a flyer he8} made up for the ATARI show this summer and on the back he made up a new form for the application for new members8}. We decided to make up about 1,000 copies on a color page to distribute at the World of Atari Show. The sh8}ow is August 21,22,23 and will be held in Las Vegas. ALAN announced a Great Adventurer's Show in Great Britain this Oc8}tober. JACK discussed what he saw at the Trenton Computer Show he went to -- various parts were for sale. He then8}- asked HARRY for some comments and HARRY1 8TUTHILL< @saysD FheJ was disappointed that there wasn't much in the 8}way of computer parts and what there was was in poor shape, pretty worn out looking. ALAN SHARKIS informed members that8} he asked for a telephone line in the meeting room at the library for next months Joint Meeting. He hasn't got8}ten an answer yet. DEMONSTRATIONS: RON FETZER demoed a copy ICE-T Terminal program, an 80-column, VT- 102 ver9}sion for the 130XE or an expanded 800XL. He was able to get to the pull-down menus and tried OPTIONS first. 9} He showed us how to use the dialing menu and ran through the other OPTIONS and SETTINGS. There are also MINIDOS and TR9}GANSFER pull- downs. ZModem receive is included. Other commands listed in the docs but not on the screen include hit9}ting ESC & C at the same time to erase the screen and CTRL-SHIFT-P will dump the current screen to a printer. Next, DAV9}E demoed a musical program from Internet from the Michigan library Version 30. Then, ALAN SHARKIS informed memb9}ers that the disk he was showing might be the last disk out of the San Leandro Computer Club since BOB SCHOLAR will not9} be producing them for the SLCC. Bob and his wife are entering an extended care facility, and unless the SLCC ca9}n find someone else to do their 8bit disks, we're afraid we have seen the last of them. Side 1 is Object files, 9}Side 2 has a basic program for games. This is San Leandro February 1998, disk 1602 (library #721). The first 9 }MovieMaker demo is called CAT, the second one is called IRISH JIG, the third one is called NIGHT OUT, then ROSE, th9 }en SCRAP, then "NO P-ING." Side 1 has the San Leandro menu - the first game is called CAT NAP (knocking the cats off 9 }the fence.) Alan explained that side 1 of the OHAUG newsletter disk, which we mailed out today, has minutes 9 }Kfrom March, and improvised minutes from the April Joint Meeting.O The Editor's notes will focus on changes, pa9 }rticularly a coming expansion of the newsletter. This expansion will involve changing the disk format to 1050 dens9}ity. Members will find a referendum on the topic in the newsletter. DOOR PRIZES: There were no door prizes f9}or this meeting. The next meeting will be a joint meeting in Nassau at the Plainview- Old Bethpage Library on Ju9} ne 20th. &o=o=o=o=o=}8& o=o=o=o=o=& :PRESIDENT'S MESSAGEE Wby Jack Gedaliusc May--June, 1998 At the M=}ay 16th meeting, Al Sharkis discussed NassauNet, a new Internet provider (via the Library System) for Nassau County. =} Incorporated with NassauNet is LYNX, a Web browser. Unfortunately, LYNX can only be utilized for text entr=}Gies and the library will not allow us to use it to download files. Ron Fetzer demonstrated the features and setup =} of a modem program called Ice-T 2.72. We did not connect to the Internet, however. Al Sharkis discussed a program ca=}lled Ram Drive. It set multi-RAM disks on the standard 8-Bit machine. He also demonstrated San Leandro's February, 19=}98 disk, consisting of movie-maker files. Some examples of these files are, a cartoon of a cat, the Irish Jig, A Nig=}ht Out, and Rose. There was also a game in which the player attempted to knock a cat off of a fence. There wa=}s also a graphic adventure game called Space Board. The June 20th meeting was exciting because out-of-state Ata=}ri users enlightened us with their presence. Several of these Atari users belonged to the Atari club, LIAUG. We wer=}.e delighted to have such a great turn- out!2 We were joined by Frank Walters, a Floridian member of Ol' Hacke=}rs, who graciously demonstrated the new features of TextPro which will be discussed later on in this president's m=}essage. My wonderful and intelligent thirteen year old daughter Rebecca also honored us with her presence, as sh=}e demonstrated her new Compaq laptop computer for the group. Al Sharkis brought in a program called XFormer 98,=} which allows Atari programs to be used on a PC. We were able to put Atari DOS 2.5 onto my daughter's computer. The= } most incredible part of this meeting was the fact that we used the Atari 8-bit to link ourselves to the Internet! =!}We would like to extend a thank you to the Plainview-Bethpage Library for fixing us up with the proper necessities ="}to make this giant leap for Atari-kind. We explained how to send and receive e-mail and how to join mailing lists.=#}< Through LYNX, we were able to connect to the Internet.@ Sadly, due to Atari's limited capabilities, graphics f=$}or Atari systems are not available. On a happier note, by using a system called PINE, you can have an address book=%}, with the e-mail addresses of all your friends. You can send a letter to all of your friends at once by using th=&}Gis convenient feature. PINE keeps your address book on its server, so you don't have to keep it on your system. Int='}'ernational Atari- oriented mailing lists are available for your usage. One of them is from Poland. Telnet allowed us t=(}o contact a BBS. We connected to the FidoNet National Atari Echo (8-bit) through Docs Place BBS. Alan explained tha=)}t he usually called The Fordham Jesuit BBS in The Bronx to do the same thing. We sent a message to one of our =*}members, Tom Andrews, and in the process demonstrated the features of an address book, by sending the a carbon copy o=+}mf the message to Pat Mulvey and to Alan Sharkis at his Erols Address. Ron Fetzer demonstratedq ICE-T, vers=,}ion 2.72. We utilized it as the terminal program for the modem. We celebrated the presence of our visitors by eat=-}ing, what else? We ate pizza and drank Pepsi and 7-Up. Frank Walters demonstrated the new features of TextPro. So=.}me of these features are four banks in addition to the main bank of memory, and the artistic new Macro features. He a=/}lso showed his specialized handler for the CX-85 numeric keypad to be utilized with TextPro. Following this we =0}: concluded the meeting and bade farewell until July.I WBYE FOR NOW,e tJACK GEDALIUS} =1} o=o=o=o=o=}< o=o=o=o=o= MINUTES OF OHAUG MEETING 6/20/98 Before the official opening of the meeting, while waitinA3}g for Jack, ALAN SHARKIS read an e-mail from PATRICK MULVEY. Pat was summoned to Houston for the weekend by his emploA4}yer and regretted not being able to attend and to meet FRANK WALTERS. JACK GEDALIUS opened the meeting by welcominA5}g everyone including members of the Suffolk Atari Club (LIAUG). He introduced FRANK WALTERS of Panama City, FL, a A6}member who is here visiting his sister in Rockville Centre. JACK took a list of the other members and guestsA7} attending. TREASURER REPORT: RON FETZER says we're in the black. DEMONSTRATIONS: REBECCA GEDALIUS, Jack's daughter,A8}G brought her notebook PC and showed us its general characteristics. JACK then discussed a program on CD- ROM, Monarch A9}9Notes, which he brought with him to run on Rebecca's machine. ALAN SHARKIS did an impromptu demo of XFormer '98, which rA:}an on Rebecca's notebook. !He% had XLENT Word Processor and then DOS 2.5 on the screen. Alan then gave a taA;}lk on the various parts of the Internet that are accessable through NassauNet -- starting with Internet eA<}-mail for mailing lists and private mail to individuals and groups. He then went on to explain how Nassau Net's e-maA=}il system (PINE) saves space because it saves lists of e-mail addresses for you and you offers a full-screen editA>}or for your e-mail. Alan also spent some time talking about Usenet, which is made up of public discussion groups A?}9(newsgroups) on a varety of topics. There are now more> BthanG M60,000Q available newsgroups. The one that is A@}most important to us is:# comp.sys.atari.8bit. Usenet newsgroups are also available on NassauNet in PINE. AlanAA} then discussed World Wide Web browsing will be organized by sites & pages with links to other pages to help you AB}research further. He explained how NassauNet offers us LYNX, a text-based WWW browser that can also handle GophAC}er and Telnet. Each site is accessed by giving its URL (universal resource locater). For example, LIAUG's page AD};(when it comes back up) can be accessed by typing:D http://www.liaug.com. Alan then brought up a way to acAE}cess bulletin boards (Telnet) which he will show us. Next RON FETZER and Alan Sharkis demoed how to use theAF} Atari 8-bit with the internet via Nassau Net with the Ice-T program. We looked at e- mail and comp.sys.atari.8-bit AG}with PINE and at www.emulators.com with LYNX. Since the trend among WWW sites is now heavily graphical, it is imAH}portant to maintain heavily text- oriented sites for 8-bitters. Next FRANK WALTERS demoed version 5.20 of TextPro. AI}E He showed us how it can access four banks of memory in additionI KtoO RtheV pmain bank, demonstratedu xhow| mAJ}Cacros are constructed, showed us a few of his own, and went on to demonstrate his CX-85 Numeric Keypad handler AK}K for TextPro. Frank made copies of some of his work available to both the LIAUG and OHAUG disk librarians. ThAL}ey were already taking orders for copies by the time Frank sat down! ALAN SHARKIS then sent an e-mail message tAM}o some of the members who were not present (Pat and TOM ANDREWS) using the carbon copy feature, and demonAN}Cstrated how to use Telnet through LYNX to get to a FidoNetI MBBS.T VByZ ctyping:h telnet://docsplace.dyAO}n.ml.org, he was able to locate, read , and respond to messages in the FidoNet Atari National Echo. He also postAP}hed a message there from all who attended today's meeting. ALAN SHARKIS then spoke about sending ourl rflyersw with AQ} membership applications to JOHN HARDIE for the Las Vegas show. There was a short demonstration of the latest dAR}isk from Tyne and Wear Atari User Group in England. The disk went into our library (number unknown.) Then everyAS}xone submitted their updated e-mail addresses for inclusion in our newsletter. THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE ON SATURDAY,} AT} JULY 18, 1998.% 2o=o=o=o=o=}@2( *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*3 FNEWSLETTER REVIEWSS cby Alan Sharkisj OHAUG Newsletter LiEV}brarian Summer is most definitely here. The usual suspects (user group newsletter editors) are at it again, and theyEW}Ǜ have been prolific. TYNE & WEAR for March/April 1998 -- This issue is a hardware hacker's dream. Although the EX} articles are old, there are probably many who would be interested in them. First of all, there is a reprint EY}of the KENNETH L. SIDERS article on building an RVerter type of modem interface. The user manual for the XL-It! Atari EZ}8-bit emulator, which runs on a PC, is reprinted. MARKUS GIETZEN is the proud author. RICK MICHAEL (Rick Cortese?E[}) contributes a one-chip design for an SIO2PC cable. CHAD R. KNUDSON gives us construction plans for a dummy cartE\}Gridge. Also included is a reprint from the A.C.E.C. BBS describing the construction of THE FREEZER, a device to E]}]E cold-boot a computer from a ramdisk and protect that ramdisk.I vFrom KONRAD M. KOKOSZKIEWICZ comes az detE^}ailed description of the Polish IDE Hard Drive Interface built and marketed by him and Jacek Zuk. The PACESetter foE_}r May 1998 -- From the now-defunct AtariTech BBS in Clearwater, FL, comes an article about adding resistance toE`} fix the console keys (HELP, START, SELECT and OPTION) in the 130XE. The 130XE makes use of low-resistance contactEa}s. The resistance of these contacts tends to increase as the computer is used. But unlike the other keys (incEb}luding RESET,) the console keys are read by a different chip and resistance is critical. The solution is to add reEc}sistance (how much may be a matter of experimentation) in parallel with the keys. The author takes us through Ed} the process. Valuable for those of us who use TextPro is a wall-chart of commands for version 5.20X authoreEe}d by DALE WOOSTER in 1995. ROBERT FASOLDT concludes his tutorial on Flight Simulator II. A reprint of TOEf}M ANDREWS' article for the OHAUG Newsletter on USENET also appears, along with the usual puzzles, humorEg}ous quotes, and PACE happenings.

He has heard rumors that Wizztronics would like to buy the rights to TOS, which would mean that the STs and beyEs}ond will again have ample support. He also doubts that Hasbro will do anything with the Jaguar aside from Et}i selling some completed, but unreleased games, but might bring out a revised version of the Lynx.n pEdt xalso| rEu}eports demonstrating ST Xformer at a meeting, running ANSITERM and a graphics program on it. JACG NewslettEv}Ker for May 1998 -- Part 3 of DON THOMAS' Catnips Epilog is reprinted.O OHAUG Newsletters are being printed out anEw}d sold at ten cents per single-sided page at JACG meetings. Information on the Atari World 98 show in Las VeEx}gas is included. JOE HICSWA does an in- depth review, with examples, of the LVAUG Newsletter. There are lists ofEy} Atari-related Web sites," fother important sites, Atari dealers and developers, and anj interesting cartooEz}n. XIO3 for May/June 1998 -- ROWLAND GRANT's 8-Bit Affairs column reports that Andre Fachat is still working on hisE{} GeckOS/A65 operating system. This is an operating system that will run on the Gecko Computer (popular in Europe, selE|}dom seen here) and the Commodore 64. He hopes that somebody will be able to port the system over to the Apple ][ linE}}?e and to the Atari 8-bits. This OS contains some Unix- likeE Nfeatures,T Xsuch^ as multithreading, task priorE~}ities, and support for an Internet connection via SLIP. ICD will put up 8-bit history pages on the Web, and plaE}ns to make some 8-bit hardware and replacement parts available once again. BOB KLASS (K-Products) has releE}Gased a CD-ROM with lots of what the first Pool Disk has, plus some material from A.C.E. of Utah and S.P.A.C.E., E}along with the demo of BBS Pro and some user-written extensions and games. DAREK MIHOCKA (Emulators, Inc.) E}chas released PC XFormer 98. The Atari800 emulator has also been upgraded in Europe and isg pavailablet wfor| dE}ownload. OMC/HeiroGraphics is working on an original Atari game, the Assassin. It will be available to emulatoE}r users. MATHY VAN NISSELROY has successfully connected an Iomega Zip drive to his Atari through his Black Box. E} Rowland Grant also notes that the Universal Serial Bus (USB) now being touted so strongly in the PC world, is strE}ongly reminiscent of the SIO daisy chain idea that Atari pioneered all those years ago. IMAGE for June 1998 -- AlthE}ough there was nothing that was 8-bit-specific in this issue, there were some interesting general and ST-relatE}ed happenings reported. The PACESetter for June 1998 -- We note that PACE is celebrating its 14th anniversary, anE}d we congratulate them for their longevity and fine work. We also note that we'll soon be in that same 14-year cE}ategory! PACE notes that JOHN FRIZZOLA, a recent transplant from Long Island, has just joined their club and haE}s contributed many items. We wonder why we haven't heard that name before, but we know that John has joineE}d a good group in Florida. Editor WALT LEWIS writes an article, complete with illustrations, about printing miniE}-icons from The Print Shop. Walt also uses an article originally by KEN WICKERT of ACE of Syracuse (updated by E}Ken and THOMAS J. ANDREWS and published in the OHAUG Newsletter, Sept./Oct. 1994) which he includes, to inspire further E}findings of his own on disk and file copying programs. All of the Print Shop icons from the club's April and MayE}Ǜ DOMs are printed in this issue, as well as the usual puzzles, etc. JACG Newsletter for June 1998 -- Editor TOME} LASKOWSKI provides us with several Atari happenings. He states that Hasbro will show off a line of computers E}Gat the upcoming E3 show. Nowhere but in this newsletter have I heard that Hasbro is going to produce computers, but we cE}an always hope. Tom also states that JTS had been actively negotiating regarding the Atari properties with ActivisiE}on before the Hasbro purchase. It's interesting that the properties were valuable to others. JTS didn't seem to E}Edo anything with them. As a result, Tom reports, a class-action suit has been filed against JTS on behalf of E} former Atari Corp. stockholders for failure to keep the Atari lines alive. Apparently, JTS had made such a E}promise and never lived up to it. There is also a mention of the intended release of made-over and modernizedE} Atari games to run on the PC and Playstation platforms by Hasbro. The information came from www.atarihq.com/newsE}/1998/980316.html which is a site partially produced by OHAUG member JOHN HARDIE. JOE HICSWA contributs an in-depth reviE}ew of the LVAUG News (an apparent continuation from last month -- Ed.) SAM COREY gives us a potpourri of interestiE}ng technology-related items from various news sources. There is also what appears to be a dump from a Web searE}ch engine on Atari-related articles. This is extensive -- it takes up four pages. There are also reprints fE}&rom a variety of non- traditional+ 2sources7 regarding Hasbro's re-release of the games mentioned above and E}a reprint from an ST magazine that analyzes the Hasbro- JTS deal. Finally, on the back cover, is a tongue-in-cheekE} (I hope! -- Ed.) "news item" stating that one Joseph E. Hicswa was grounded after destroying several aircraft, tearinE}g up uninhabited land and terrifying other pilots while trying to teach himself to fly from a manual. This reporE}t, was, of course, generated by Flight Simulator II, which Joe had reviewed in previous issues. Joe stated that, E}"The FAA grounded me. I have 'NO COMMENT.' The Judge issued a Gag Order. See my lawyer." *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+E} *+*+*+*+*}D  o=o=o=o=o=+ !REMINDER! This issue is the LAST issue that will be produced in single-dI}ensity. We are going to enhanced density with the September-October disk. Since sending out the referendum on theI}G last disk asking for objections to this change, we have received a grand total of ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA, such objectiI}ons! I take this to mean that not only does no member have drives that can only read 720 sectors, but that you all wI}ant me to work harder! That's OK; I volunteered to put more into the newsletter and I meant it. I also remind you to notI}e the changes in the meeting schedule and in the list of e-mail addresses. There are several such changes in each.

This issue has all of its articles on Side 1, together with the BASIC progrZ}am MOTIE.BAS, which runs from the space bar, and comes from our copy of The Pool Disk. Also from the Pool Disk on Z}&Side 1, look for ANGLWORM.COM, an old+ /Stan3 9Ockers= AgameE and FAILSAFE.BAS, a nuclear generating plant simulaZ}tion. Side 2 is a complete boot disk. I have selected a S*P*A*C*E opus from 1986 to be the disk this time. Z}Please be aware that although the disk's opening instructions refer to a second side, that second side is not repZ}roduced here. Follow the instructions carefully. There is more on this disk than is obvious. Please note thatZ} all of it was done in BASIC and that some of the text is in German and Dutch, but you will be able to figure it out.Z}C I hope you enjoy this issue!( ?ALAN SHARKIS, Editor.N [o=o=o=o=o=}X[EE
