any value of MEMLO. That exex plains all the IF-THEN statements which make the program look so strange. To use Atari Atarl Keypad, try the version created by Program 11 first. If that doesn't work, try the other version. Use the second version with the Automatic Proofreader. If you already have an AUTORUN.5YS RUN.SYS file on your disk that you regularly use, you can append it to the Atari Keypad AUTORUN.SYS file so both will boot automatically. Follow these steps: steps: 1. Boot up Atari DOS 2.0 or 2.5. 2. 2. Rename your existing AUTOAUTO RUN.5YS RUN.SYS file. For example, call it OLDAUTO. 3. Exit to BASIC and run either Program 11 or Program 2 to create the keypad AUTORUN.SYS file on disk. 4. Enter DOS and select the COpy COPY option. When the prompt appears, type OLDAUTO,AUTORUN.SYS/A. RUN.5YS/ A. Don't forget the /A /A or you'll end up with your old AUTORUN.5YS AUTORUN.SYS file and have to start over again again.. If your existing AUTOAUTO RUN .SYS file happens to use the RUN.SYS same memory as Atari Keypad, it would be overwritten when the keypad is booted. booted. Another problem could crop up if your present AUTORUN.5YS rouAUTORUN.SYS file installs a rou tine at MEMLO and the routine isn't relocatable. If the keypad is installed at MEMLO first, the secsec ond routine would wind up at a different address than it was dede signed for. This would most likely cause the system to crash. Most of the time there's no trouble, however. If you can touch-type on a keykey pad, you'll find Atari Keypad a great aid when entering DATA statements. But don't forget it can also be useful with other programs that call for numeric input.

Commodore Program Chaining Orland o Lee Stevenson Orlando

Let's say you have two programs you want to chain together. The odore 's solution can be as simple as placing Take advantage of Comm Commodore's automatic chaining feature feature to link LOAD ""PROGRAM PRO GRAM NAME",8 NAME ", 8 two or more BASIC programs together. (disk) or LOAD "''PROGRAM PROGRAM The method illustrated here applies to NAME" (tape) in place of an END all Commodore computers. computers. statement. In Commodore BASIC, a LOAD command executed as part of a program automatically loads and runs the specified program. program . If Program chaining is a method of the programs are completely unreunre linking separate programs together, lated, nothing more needs to be making them run, in effect, as one done.

lengths, the actual location of varivari ables depends on the length of the program. The computer uses twobyte address pointers to keep track of where everything is stored, and updates the pointers as needed while the program runs. When you perform WAD LOAD in program mode, the computer does not reset the pointers for variables, arrays, and strings. strings. Thus, after it loads a second program, the computer still knows how to find and use all of the first program's variables. The success of this procedure depends on the relative length of the chained programs. programs. If the lirst first program is longer than the second, proall is well: When the second pro gram loads in, its shorter program text doesn't extend as far as the area where variables are stored. stored.

Strings may cause problems as well. In the VIC, 64, and PET / CBM PET/CBM versions of BASIC dynamic strings (which result from a string operaopera + B$) tion such as A$ ~ = "HELLO" "HELLO"+ are stored outside the program text, they can be passed like other varivari ables.

If you line (10 A$ A$ ~"HELLO = "HELLO"). need to pass a static string, simply add a null string to it (for instance, HE L LO " with 10 replace 10 A$~ A$ = " "HELLO" A$~ HELLO" +""). A$= ""HELLO" + ""). The string operation (+) ( + ) turns it into a dydy namic string, storing it outside the program. This is not a problem in the 128, Plus/4, and 16 versions of BASIC, where all strings are effeceffec tively dynamic. Be careful when editing chained programs. programs. If you lengthen a program, it may become the longlong est one in the chain and overwrite variables when it loads. loads. Do not edit and resave a program after break breaking out with RUN/STOP (since the pointers are set at artificially high locations, the program's length is abnormal). Instead, reload the pro program to set the pointers correctly, then make the changes and save it again. Whenever you edit any of the programs in the chain, you should also repeat steps 1-4, using prothe original version of the first pro gram. gram. It's critical that you know the true length of this program, not the inflated length it was given in steps 4. 3 and 4.

FiFi nally, the program progra m stops with the the cursor cu rsor flashing nashing over over the screen command. The RETURN in the the keyboard buffer causes callses the operat operating system to read the command on the screen and carry it out, just as if you yo u pressed pressed the th e RETURN RETUR N key.

For a single-line command, POKE a value of I1 into the counter and a value of 13 (RETUR (RETURN)) into the buffer. To execute more than one screen line of commands, use a higher coun countt and more RETURN characters.

Disassembler For Atari William Cosner Casner
This versatile utility disassembles allY nguage program in ill any machine la language memory or all on disk. disk. It call can also display aa memory dump and alld check disks for bad sectors. The program works all on allY 800, XL, or XE with at least any 400/ 400/800, 16K RAM for tape or 24K for disk.
The size of the disk file you can disassemble depends on the memomemo ry capacity of your computer: With 48K or 64K, you can disassemble files as large as 21K (more than 21,000 bytes). When disassembling memory, you must provide hexahexa decimal starting and ending adad dresses of the area you \·wish vis h to
Here is a BASIC utility for disasdisas sembling machine language (ML) programs and examining the concon tents of yo ur Atari 's memory. Type your Atari's in ""Disassembler" Disassembler" and save it to disk or tape before running it for the first time. Since this program is largely self-prompting, you should be able to use it with little or no instruction. To choose one of its three main options, press the OPOP TION, SELECT, or START keys as prompted. In each case, you may choose to send output to a printer rather than to the screen.
Using The Disassembler The first option, disassembly, transtrans lates ML object code into its 6502 mnemonics. After you choose this option, the computer asks whether you wish to disassemble a particu particular memory area, a particular sector
on the disk, or a binary file stored on disk. This allows you the freefree dom to disassemble virtuall y any virtually program, even autoboot pro proML program, grams that normally take control of the computer as soon as you load them into memory. memory. 122

disassemble. The second option is a listing, or memory dump. Again, you can look at a particular memory area, a particular disk sector, or a binary fil e. In this case, however, the disfile. dis assembler displays each byte in ASCII form rather than as a 6502 mnemonic. This function is useful ining parts of a program for exam examining that contain data rather than ML
1310. Don't omit any commas or spaces, but don't add any extra ones, either. Mistakes could lead to incorrectly decoded mnemonics. If the program stops with an ERROR 3, 6, or 8 message in line 1220, it ve a typing probably means you ha have mewhere in th e DATA error so somewhere the lines. lines.
