He also told us there are usually one or two dinnersB CaG Lyear,P SforW Mel's information,and that we meet o8}nce a month. CORRESPONDENCE: AL SHARKIS has a letter from Stuart Murray, president of NOSAUG with Issue #21 whi8}Gch is the final issue of their newsletter, Futura, that he will do. We will send him a nice response. AL will ru8}n the disk later in the meeting. RON FETZER had a letter from David Oldfield of Connecticut who would have liked 8}to come to this meeting if the weather was nicer. DEMONSTRATIONS: AL SHARKIS demoed OHAUG Issue #29 Side #1 has sev8}en games the first being Bridge Builder, a joystick challenging game. Then a game called Convoy about ships, and 8}other games. AL then demoed a disk from SLCC, featuring a Bitbyter program written in April 1997, a label dumper 8} that prints self-designed labels, and prints up to 1000 of one kind on any size label. AL printed some out. AL th8}&en demoed a NOSAUG disk (the last* .one,2 Issue #21 October 1997)(Library #701). The next demo is the Old 8}Hacker's Newsletter A BASIC program on the disk played Mr. Sandman for "Mary of Las Vegas," along with some simple8}Ǜ screen animation. Then we read a side 2 article by GORDON HOOPER of GCACE, telling what would happen if Micros8}oft made TV dinners. We then tried a program called Spy Plane. We then demoed a program from Genesee that does labels 8}and fonts. Then we demoed a disk called Light 2 written by Dave Oblat in 1984 BBS #714 by Action downloaded. 8} It creates a population of critters who spell out messages. POTPOURRI: A short discussion ensued about Pool Disk II8}Ǜ DOOR PRIZES: George Gable (guest) won 1st prize. Allen Atkins won 2nd prize. Mel Levine won 3rd prize but had left8}.

CORRESPONDENCE: ALAN SH=}ARKIS reminded us that he received a letter from STUART MURRAY with a request for us to send him our Newsletter in =}Gexchange for public domain disks from Europe from him, and read a letter he had written to Stuart confirming that =} we will do just that. ALAN also reported that the Editor of Tyne & Wear Newsletter is considering quitting unless h=}lis members submit more articles. Also, JEAN BROKAW is leaving her position with the PACESetterp Newsletter. =} They've already elected a replacement. Alan also wrote an editorial saying in summary he would like to see the cl=}ub moving two directions. He would like to see the Club do more to support PC's -- for those club members w=}ho have PC's to use their PC's to enhance what their Atari 8- bits are doing rather than give up the 8-bit in favor=} of the PC. The second area is that he'd like the Club to have more of a presence on the internet. JACK GEDA=}LIUS feels the two machines do not conflict with each other. He feels his son can help with a WEB page for OHAUG. T= }here are 8-bitters on the internet and it can be done. You can go on Worldwide Web also. You can go on AOL if you h= }ave PC. If you have only 8-bit you must find an internet service provider who will allow you to have text and UNIX-ba= }sed kind of account which used to be called a shell account. At that point you have to telnet to one of the= } various sites that runs a Lynx browser (if your own ISP doesn't) and the software you use has to be capable of= } 80 columns and VC100 terminal emulation. There are 2 or 3 packages on the market, among them are FlickerTerm, T=}erm 80, and Ice-T. We have at least 2 of them in the Library. ALAN went on to tell us that e-mail and Usenet newsg=}roups are very simple to access and are text based. CURT VENDEL has a page up called the Atari Prototype & Vaporware =} Museum, JOHN HARDIE has a page that he shares with a few other people which is all about video games. We're looking f=}or a free site for 1 to several pages. If an individual member has an ISP, sometimes he is offered space to put a=} page for free. In California there is Geocities, which a number of clubs use for their pages and there are others sc=}Gattered around who will do this. Another way is to purchase a domain name which means you have an exclusive addres=}s on the internet which you must pay a fee for. Should we investigate it and if so, what should we put on our =} page? RON FETZER asked how much can you put on a page? ALAN responded that the page can scroll & can be as long or s=}hort as you want but on the page you have links and you can get to other sites and others can get to your site. ALAN a=}lso suggested people could mail their PC questions here and having them answered here. RON wants to know who would=} answer the questions. ALAN said they would be shared among the PC-owning Atari group members to answer. HARRY TUTH=}ILL asked where does Internet end and World Wide WEB begin. ALAN responded World Wide is part of Internet. I=}t's the graphical part. Some people think it is the Internet, but there are other parts. Through Internet e-mail, for=}C example, you can sign on to mailing lists. There is alsoG HaL QplaceU to buy/sell/trade, express opinions an=}d ask for advice (newsgroups), ftp sites for file storage (like the one at UMICH) from which you can download files=}. The WEB has picked up on these things and can now encompass ftp, etc. and integrate graphics into all. ALAN =}found that he was better off with an Internet provider who didn't provide all the extras but gets him on the Interne=}t. "I'm using EROLS and paid for 3 years in advance, which came out to $9.95 a month.) A discussion followed = }where HARRY heard of a program that the Nassau Public Libraries will start in the spring, giving free Inernet acces=!}s to card holders. JACK GEDALIUS suggested various uses for the proposed WEB page. Then JACK welcomed and introduced a="} new member, MEL LEVINE who went on to discuss his background on the Atari. MEL said his background is very limited on=#}3 the Atari though he has had it for many years.7 He's familiar with the Atariwriter. JACK offered to give hi=$}m a Master disk from the Club and if he has any questions he should feel free to call JACK. A short discussion=%}C followed among the members. CORRESPONDENCE: RON showed a card from ALEX's wife which he read to club member=&}&s needing advice on what to do with ALEX's computer room. DAVID OLDFIELD ordered many disks and his order has gone ='}out to him. JOHN POWELL sent money for May thru December Newsletters which we sent him. A guy in Bombay India aske=(}d for turbo disks which we sent. JOHN JOHNSON asked for calendar which RON mailed him. JACK GEDALIUS brought up discu=)}ssion on winter party. Members decided to have it at Lambrou's again on a Friday night in February to be d=*}ecided by JACK. JACK then wished everyone happy holidays and members wished him the same. DEMONSTRATIONS: RON =+}^demod a disk from ABBUC #1029, an interface for Print Shop. Side 1 is Tricky Print.b Side 2 is Dynoblast, a=,} pretty good game with options, written in English (Library #702). Next Ron demod an ABBUC disk from Sonder(Spec=-}ial) Magazine #22. Protocol year 1997 lists of parts, book service, building plan service all in German. =.}%Then we tried an interlace picture* (it goes back & forth), we brought up a few of them (Library #703). Then RON=/} demod another disk from Sonder Magazine #21 called the BIBO Assembler. It has instructions in German (Library #=0}704). Next RON had a disk from ALAN an SLCC #1512 12/97 from The San Leandro Computer Club. We tried a double =1}decker object, two table, pinball machine game. Then we tried Crime One, a text adventure game. Then Spook Bu=2}sters the Super-natural Game. Side 1 is all games. Then we tried Side 2's Rambler Gambler which has various gambling=3} games - we tried Blackjack. Side 2 has more games (Library #705). DOOR PRIZES: Courtesy of HARRY TUTHILL as =4}follows: George Gable won first prize. Harold Pegler won second prize. Jack Gedalius won third prize. Mel Levine won fo=5}9urth prize (but had left.) Al Atkins won fifth prize.H Uo=o=o=o=o=}<U o=o=o=o=o=+ 6EditorialB Rby Alan SharkisY Editor, OHAUG Newsletter About eigA7}Ghteen months ago, just after the death of ALEX PIGNATO, the Ol' Hackers met to reaffirm our desire to continue as a usA8}8er group. We had support for that cause in the form of in-person visits from LIAUG and LVAUG members. Although AlexA9}'s loss was difficult for many of us, I believe that our user group is as strong, if not stronger, than it had been uA:} nder his self-described "benevolent dictatorship." I'm happy that such is the case, and I must give credit foA;}r that to our members and officers. There is an aura, difficult to describe and more difficult to quantify, A<} about the Classic Atari that must be preserved. I believe we, as an international user group, have contributed tA=}o that preservation effort. There are two areas in which I feel that we can do more, but first a little backgrounA>}d. Many of our members own other machines. Quite a few, I believe, own PCs. While this club was new, I'vA?}e been told, the PC was considered to be a deadly beast, not worthy of our respect. In great measure, it was. Few PA@}C owners could brag about color displays, graphics, and sound of the quality that our 8-bits could produce. It's numAA}bing reputation as a "business computer" went against the grain of 8-bitters. This has, of course, changed. May I darAB}e say, it has CHANGED TO THE POTENTIAL BENEFIT of the Atari 8-bit community. Another segment of our membership alsAC}o owns other Atari equipment. I'm going to exclude the discussion of game consoles here. The 2600, 5200 and 7800 AD}now constitue nostalgia trips, and the Lynx and Jaguar, while shining examples of survival, just don't fit into thiAE}s discussion. The ST, its successors and now its clones, do fit in. I was also told that in the early days AF}of the Ol' Hackers, some of our current and past members were looking for a local user group that would give them somAG}e support. A rather clannish, now defunct ST group would have relegated them to, "fifteen minutes before the meAH}eting." Hence they joined OHAUG and the rest is history. My exposure to the ST was quite different. My firstAI}G user group, also now defunct, was a source of great harmony between its 8-bit and ST members. I currently belongAJ}J to LIAUG, OHAUG's sister club on Long Island. LIAUG has happily continued that tradition of harmony. For the past yearAK} or so, I've been hearing about how the ST community has declined and has been demoralized worse than our own. In AL}some circles this might, indeed, be true. But in others, we look at the aforementioned successors to the ST and its clAM}ones as examples for us in three very important areas: cloning, Internet access and emulation of other machine plAN}`atforms. From time to time, we hear of somebody wishing to build 8-bit clones.d There was some recenAO}t interest in this expressed in CSA8 by one of our members, Atari historian and collector, CURT VENDEL. While I wish AP} Curt luck with this project, I realize that it would be extremely difficult to do, given the small number of peAQ}ople who'd be interested in owning one. Emulation of 8-bits is a subject near and dear to my heart, as many of you knowAR}. While this was never developed as fully on the ST as one would have hoped, the ST XFormer WAS a first. If you have AS}read this newsletter over the past year, you know that I spent a lot of time and space describing PC, Amiga, MacintoshAT}, and Unix-based 8-bit emulators -- both to emulate the entire machine and to give an existing 8-bit the advantAU}ages of increased peripheral capability and storage. In my rationale statements, I noted that there were those whAV}o desired a portable 8-bit, those who gave up their 8-bits and wanted the "feeling" back, and those for whom emulaAW}tion was a fascinating intellectual exercise. As my fellow Ol' Hacker and LIAUG President, PAT MULVEY recenAX}tly reiterated, the day is fast approaching when we will no longer have people to supply and repair our 8-bits, heAY}nce the enhanced importance of emulation. Of all the platforms that emulate the Atari 8- bit, the PC has come closestAZ} to an actual 8-bit. Therefore, I PROPOSE THAT THIS USER GROUP DO MORE TO OFFICIALLY ENCOURAGE OUR PC-OWNINGA[}CD MEMBERS TO LOOK TO US FOR SUPPORT ON THOSE MACHINES, AS WELL.H AS A TRADEOFF, I'D EXPECT THOSE PC-OWNING MEMBERA\}\S TO LOOK INTO ENHANCING THEIR 8-BITS THROUGH THEIR PCs, RATHER THAN ABANDONING THEIR 8-BITS IN FAVOR OF THEIR PCs. TA]}he two machines can co- exist rather peacefully, as some of us, myself included, have proven. The second area for imprA^}ovement that I would suggest is THAT THIS CLUB PURSUE AN INCREASED PRESENCE ON THE INTERNET. I have found that somA_}e of our out-of- town members are doing just that with their 8-bits! Although I have the technical ability and the nA`}ecessary software to do the same, I haven't done much of it because the PC, at least at this juncture, does itAa}Ǜ better. I would like those of our members who are accessing the Internet with their 8-bits to write articlAb}es about the experience for inclusion in our newsletter, and I'd really enjoy it if some more of our local members Ac}chimed in!

But here's one that I had to make, and I apologize if it upsets any of you. In mN}y editorial I asked if those of our members who use their 8-bits to access the Internet would write a shortN} article describing their experiences. Although I knew that ONE of you, at least, would be forthcoming, N}I figured that I ought to cover myself, so I mentioned that I was looking for such an article in the CSA8 newsgroupN}. Well, BOB WOOLEY, in his position as editor of AC MAGAZINE, forwarded to me a pre- publication copy of an articlN}e he had received from our member, TOM ANDREWS, on that very topic. I have chosen NOT to include that article inN}Ǜ this issue of the OHAUG Newsletter for two reasons. First, we made an agreement with AC back when BEN POEHLAN}ND was editor of that magazine. We agreed that if any of our members submitted an article to AC and that article was acN}Jcepted for publication, we'd hold off putting it into our own newsletterO TuntilY ^afterb its publication in AC, andN} then include it in our newsletter only with the permission of AC and the author. I think that's a fair agreemenN}t. The community at large will have the benefit of the article, and it won't be delayed until a small segment ofN} that community, namely our user group, has had a crack at it. I'm pretty sure that neither Tom nor Bob will obN}ject if the OHAUG Newsletter reprints the article after it appears in AC. Second, it would make no sense at all toN}G call for something in one issue of the newsletter and have that something appear in the very same issue! So, althouN}gh I know you all want to see Tom's article, you have a choice. You can wait until it appears in the OHAUG NewsN}letter (probably next issue,) or, you can read it in AC. If you haven't subscribed to AC, perhaps this will N}be an incentive? Speaking of that editorial, I took the liberty of reading it to our local members at the last N}meeting. I'm happy to state, as was reflected in the December minutes, that the local members showed interest in botN}h of the improvements I suggested. There will undoubtedly be more said on this topic in the next few issues of thN}is newsletter. Many of the programs we put into our newsletter have come from the Pool Disk, a CD-ROM of both indiviN}dual 8- bit files and "disk images." All are public domain, shareware or freeware. The Pool Disk was produced by Bo andN} Ernest Schreurs in The Netherlands. There will be a Pool Disk II, it will be released shortly, and it might even tuN}rn out to be a double CD-ROM! What's more, it's cost will be much less than the cost of the original Pool Disk. WN}hen I know that it is available and the price is announced, I will ask the user group to buy it. Pool Disk II promises N}to have some rather rare, but very good, programs on it. The "spacebar" program on Side 1 of this issue of the OHAUN}G Newsletter is OREGON.BAS. It's a text adventure based on a ficticious pioneer journey on the Oregon Trail, and pN}robably predates the well-known educational program of that name. Also, look for GTIAPAD.BAS, a drawing program thatN}F uses the special graphics modes that the GTIA chip introduced.J The program was modified to add Koala Pad controlN} to the existing joystick control. Both the author and the modifier have their names on the title screen. N} Both programs came from our copy of The Pool Disk. On Side 2, the "spacebar" program is SMOKEY.BAS. It's a text N}adventure that is based on the old "Smokey and the Bandit" movie. Play is fun and self-explanatory. You will also finN}Gd a machine-language program called REPAIR.COM. This program solves the problem of BASIC programs that RUN but WN}ON'T LIST, due to problems with the disk (NOT DUE TO AN ALTERED VARIABLE TABLE.) My advice is to copy this filN}e to a new disk that also has the DOS files on it, run it from the DOS menu, and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before aN}ttempting to use it. There are several things this program won't do reliably, and you should try it on a COPY of yoN}ur BASIC program (not the original.) Finally, on Side 2 is the maze game, ICECAVES.BAS. The title screen listsN}Ǜ all the moves, so copy them down before playing. All three of these programs on Side 2 come from our copy of theN} Pool Disk. %o=o=o=o=o=))}L) o=o=o=o=o=& :PRESIDENT'S MESSAGEE by Jack Gedalius January--February, 1998 Wow! AnothR}er year has gone by. We hope that the new one will bring health and happiness to all! Membership dues are coming R} in at a rapid pace. If you are one who forgot to renew your membership, please do so now. You know hR}ow important you are to us. If you would like to join our unique group so that you may learn more about the AtarR}i 8-bit and meet our present members, kindly send in your dues. We have a library consisting of computer prR}ograms for our computer containing more than 700 disks! At our October meeting, Alan Sharkis demoed a game similar to R}Tetris. The main difference is that, in the new game, one must throw the items up, instead of down. It has twR}enty different play levels. He also illustrated a disk from the computer club Time & Ware issue twenty-eight. OnR}P the disk was a game called, "Megablast." It contains blasting withU _reflectorsd hthatl cause ricochetinR}g. Ron Fetzer demoed an ABBUC disk #50. One program shows a color palette of 256 colors. It also uses some games likR}+e Monopoly games of the United States./ The disk has beautiful pictures, kaleidoscopes, and a maze game. At R}G the November meeting Alan Sharkis demoed a TWAUG disk issue # 29. On it is a game called, "Bridge Builder," R} which is (extremely frustrating.- 4Another9 program, "Convoy," makes you determine where each ship will be, R}by the nature of its cargo. "Failsafe" is a nuclear power-plant operation. "Starwar" is a very detailed game. ThisR} disk also contains a label printing program which permits you to adjust your label to any size. Alan also demoR}ed a program called, "Rosetta Stone." At the December meeting, the club discussed keeping the Atari 8-bit ComputR}er to work with the PCs. Ron Fetzer demoed an ABBUC disk having a program called, "Dynakillers," which has excellentR} graphics and is a terrific game. He also demoed ABBUC disk #22, which had a unique way of showing pictures, usR}ing a method of interlace which had fantastic detail. He demoed another disk from the San Andrea Club (12/97), with a R} double decker pinball machine program. Our group will be having its exciting Valentine's Day Dinner on Friday, FebrR}uary 13th at qLambrou's Restaurant, in Island Park.
