Applications SIGS Newsby Dick Marchiafava

Again I must report the conversion of one ofour Apple SIGS from the status of a group thatse rves App le use rs exc lus i ve l y, t o t ha t agroup that is not machine specific, in orderto serve a broader base of computer users.

I am speaking of the Geneology SIG. They haveexpanded the scope of the i r operat ions toinclude al l computer users. Therefore, theywil l cease operat ion as a Mini 'app' les SIG,and shall operate as the Minnesota ComputerGeneology Group. They are an independentgroup with their own by-laws.

The MMGG may still list their meeting on ourcalendar page, and we will have a Mini'app'lesmember who is the liaison person between thet w o g r o u p s . M r . B i l l D e C o u r s e y, f o r m e rGeneology SIG Coordinator, has agreed to bethe l ia ison. Please cal l h im for informat ionregarding MMGG.

Thedevices differ in some small ways, but themajor di fferences are the memory, and theresul tant d i fference in pr ice. The uni t wi thmemory is about twice the cost of the other.

It never ceases to amaze me how giving themembership is of its time and knowledge! Thecalls for volunteers were heard and numerousindividuals expressed a desire to 'help-out'at the recent COMPU-SHOW.

A l though the fo l l ow ing l i s t con ta ins manypersons with exceptional knowledge in specificareas of Apple-ing, it was not necessary toh a v e t h o r o u g h e x p e r i e n c e i n a l l a r e a s .Instead of trying to contain the whole libraryat one's finger- t ips, somet imes i t is bet ter

, to play the part of the card-catalog whichcontains enough accurate info to direct thequestioner in the right direction, Coward theperson with the knowledge they seek.

This, the third MacDOM, features severalinteresting programs and files.

CATALOGGER - The program is a Microsoft BASICprogram for maintaining a disk based Catalogof Diskettes which contain names and othercharacteristics of all files on the cataloggeddiskettes. It is strongly recommended thatyou read the MacWrite document "CataloggerDoc" before you try running the program. Thisdocument explains which system files arerequired and how to run the program. BEWARNED.

SQUIG6 - A cute illustrated story by TomEdwards, our beloved MacSIG Recordist. Read"About Squigg" to learn the background behindthe story.

NEW FONTS - Several new fonts to feed your Macand dress up your letters and pictures.

MacART FOLDER - A nice owl drawing by RamsevSmith.

MacREFERENCE SHEET - Our first reference aidfor the Macintosh.

This feature is hoped to become a regular partof our MacDOM. If you discover a slick trickusing the Mac or any popular program, simplydocument it and give it to the MacDOM Editor(me) and I'll try to incorporate it in thenext appropriate MacReference Sheet.

Youuse the driver installation program to replacethe Imagewriter driver on whatever applicationd isk you wish to ta lk to your MX-80. Theinstallation takes only a couple of minutes.The MX-80/100 ROM version known as GraftraxPlus is required. A ser ial interface with 2Kprint buffer (Epson model no 8145) is alsorequired on your MX-80 (or MX-100). The samecard wil l also work in an RX or FX. OtherEpson manufactured interface cards wil l notwork with the MX. See Soft Style below. Pricei s $ 1 0 2 . T h e c a r d p l u g s i n t o t h e E p s o nprinter 's motherboard. You have to take offthe case to get at it. The cable then plugsin to the in ter face board.

It is claimed thatMac MX produces printed images in the correctaspect ratio. I plan to order the Mac MX andwi l l report on i t .

Soft Style - is the company which makes theproduct tha t Epson is adver t is ing . Th is isalso a software driver (Epstart) and a serialinterface. It works with the FX series only.I t makes use of firmware features such ascharacter download that are only available inthe FX.

There is also anEpson manufactured card with an 8K bufferwhich will work with the FX.

Simulation Process - is the company that makesthe "Mac Daisywheel Connection". They alsohave a product for the new Epson LQ1500. Assome of you may know, the LQ1500 is Epson'snew "super" printer sporting a 24 wire head.I t has an exce l l en t qua l i t y " l e t t e r qua l i t ymode" achieved through the high dot densitycoming from the 24 wire head.

The SpeeDemonApple ][ Speed Up Board

by Dick Marchiafava

November 1984

S p e e D e m o n i s a c o - p r o c e s s o r s p e e d u p

board that uses a 65C02 microprocessoroperating at 3.6 Mhz clock rate to takeover processing from the Apple 6502which operates at a 1.02 Mhz c lock

rate. Th is resu l ts in a s ign ificant increasein the speed of internal operations.

This board will work with any Apple ][, ][+,or He. It is slot independent, and will workin any s lot except s lot 0, (s lot 3 on / /e) .It accesses the Apple memory, including memoryexpansion boards.

T h e f o l l o w i n g i s a r u n d o w n o f t h echaracter ist ics of the SpeeDemon. I t workswith any Apple software, Applesoft, Pro-Dos,Pascal and 80 Column cards. It starts on powerup, but can be disengaged by an ESCAPE fromthe keyboard to bypass i t . SpeeDemon ist ransparent , requi res no pre-boot , and wi l lwork with CORVUS hard disks. The SpeeDemonslows down when accessing peripherals and thegame port. There is a built-in self test.

In my experience the SpeeDemon delivers whati t says i t wi l l . I t has an honest 3.5 t imesspeed up for in memory operations. Since oursoftware operations include a mix of tasks tob e d o n e t h e r e m a y n o t b e t h a t k i n d o fadvantage in overall operation. The operationof the device can be startling, or it can bequite subtle, but i t works to decrease totaltime of operation. I use it with BPI GeneralLedger, which is a clunk as far as speed isconcerned, and cut processing time by abouthalf. I have seen graphing programs run onSpeeDemon equipped systems, and the generationand display of the graphs or charts is notablyf a s t e r.

This device should really shine in doing sortson databases, and is great with spreadsheets.Overall, a boon for business applications.

Yes, you may play games with SpeeDemon inoperation, but the games may run fast! Thiscould result in the game being un-playable. Onthe other hand, we might think of it as a newa n d g r e a t e r l e v e l o f c h a l l e n g e i n g a m eplaying! And of course, with slow games it isa real help.

I was once accused of writing a review thatwas so glowing, that it was assumed that I was"throwing roses" (not being objective). So, isall rosy in the garden? No, there have beenproblems experienced.

In one instance, when running in the fast modethe Apple bypassed a c lock card before i tcould respond. In discussion with the owner ofthat system, it appears the problem is one ofhow and where the clock card is being used,and can be solved by moving the clock card.Also, there is a jumper on the SpeeDemon boardwhich can be removed that will slow down 1/0access to slots 4 & 5. As I take it, a clockcard o r any per iphera l dev ice requ i r ing anormal operating speed should work if locatedin one of those slots.

The only software problem has been in tryingt o r u n D B M a s t e r v e r s i o n 4 . 0 w h i c h h a ssomething to do with some timing changes ons o m e t r a c k s t h a t a r e p a r t o f t h e c o p yprotection. There is no problem running DBMaster ver. 3, or ver. 4+.

On boot, an ESCAPE in the first 2 seconds^after power-on takes the SpeeDemon off linand the boot proceeds at normal speed. On m^.personal system I have to do two or more

Subscription UoesOr, Where's my magazine?

Also, Lock Smith 5.0 Addendumby Dick Marchiafava

i n the September issue o f th is newsletter, I reported the change in the distribution of Lock Smith 5.0 since OmegaM i c r o w a r e fi l e d f o r b a n k r u p t c y. L o c kSmith is now distributed by Alpha LogicBusiness Systems:

4119 North Union Rd.,Woodstock,I l l inois, 60098

I wrote them a letter explaining that I hadordered and paid for a subscript ion to theLock Smith newsletter ($12.00), and asked themif they would honor my order. I received aprompt reply from Alpha Logic explaining thatthey would be unable to honor the subscriptionorders taken by Omega because of the largenumber of subscriptions on record. Instead,they offered to give me a subscription to thenewslet ter for the firs t year a t a d iscountprice ($6.00). I took the offer and felt thatI had been able to salvage something fromtha t .

A t t h e s a m e t i m e I o r d e r e d a d i s k e t t econtaining the Lock Smith parameters that havebeen publ ished to date. At $8.00 this disksaves a lot of typing and de-bugging whenentering parameter changes.

More problems with subscriptions:

At the September board meeting someone told metha t So fTa lk had ceased pub l i ca t i on . "Ohgreat!" I said. "I just sent them a check forrenewal yesterday!" I figured that was thelast I would hear about that $18.00.

Well, this week (Oct. 3rd) I got my check backby the good graces of the Post Office. Theenvelope has all sorts of offical red rubberstamp marking on it, which add up getting mycheck back because SofTalk's business replypermit was not renewed! Wheew!

That is better than I faired at the hands ofSmall Business Computers. Many months ago Isent them a subscription order for two years.Over a period of months I received about threeissues, which included apologies for delaysand an extension on the subscription. Therehas been no th ing s i nce t hen . We l l , I amreconciled to the fact that that is all I will"Ter get from them.

% f l a s t t a l e o f m a g a z i n e w o e s i n v o l v e sPeelings II, a publication that was very heavyon product reviews and comparisons. A sample

copy showed up (who do I have to thank forthat?), and i t was well regarded. I orderedPeelings for two year's, and as a promotionfor new subscribers, I could take my choice ofone year's back issues! What a deal! I couldget three years of Peelings for the cost oftwo, and the reviews and ratings on the backissues were not out of date yet.

Soon I received the back issues as promised. Idevoured them. This is the stuff ! Just l ikeConsumer Reports for Apple stuff! Grrreat!!

An absence of Peelings II in my mail box sincethen caused me to phone their customer servicenumber in New Mexico* I got a recording whichinvited me to leave a message, which I did.No call back, so I called again. A nice personat Southwestern Bell informed me "that numberis disconnected".. .•

If my tales about magazine subscriptions pointout anything it is that the "great shake out"o f c o m p u t e r m a g a z i n e s i s u p o n u s . f t y

A Little More on UPLby Thomas Ostertag

T h e r e h a v e b e e n s e v e r a l a r t i c l e s i n

recent Mini'app'les Newsletters dealingwith the Word Processing Language (WPL)i n A p p l e w r i t e r I I . T h e a r t i c l e b yArsen Darney (June, 1984) described a

L o w - C o s t , " N o - f e a t u r e " D a t a B a s e . I a mc u r r e n t l y u s i n g i t f o r a p a r t i c u l a r s e t o finformation I need to have handy when workingwith Applewriter. He also suggested severalo ther uses for WPL. R ichard Logg ins haspublished a series on a WPL Address Bookprogram in Apple Orchard (October, 1983 toFebruary, 1984). Chuck Boody had a copy ofthe WPL Address Book program at one of theBusiness SIG meetings. The WPL Address Bookprogram works well with small (<100) files.

I n e e d e d a p a r t i c u l a r t y p e o f u t i l i t y ,spec i fica l l y t he ab i l i t y t o p r i n t ou t a l l o fthe files on a disk without having to sit andload each one individually. The WPL manual(for the lie) has a short program to load thecatalog into memory. The sequence in a WPLprogram is OAD$A#, where $A is used to selectthe drive. Once the catalog is in memory itcan be manipulated with the find and replacefunction to generate a numbered file with thenames of the fi les that are to be pr inted.This directory is then saved to disk and eachfi le is loaded and pr in ted wi th in the WPLloop. As with all WPL programs, this one isused by typing [P] and then DO PRINT FILES orwhatever name you save the program under.

PRINT FILESAn Applewriter lie WPL Program

The [L] in the last statement is actually ani n v e r s e c a p i t o l L i n t h e w o r k a b l e W P Lprogram. The control-L is inserted by typingcontrol-V control-L control-V. The commandclears the screen. The value of x is set to 1for future use in a loop.

OAD$A//PPp (5 spaces'*)

The header section describes the program andits major limitation. Then comes the commandthat loads the catalog into memory. The "p"sare necessary and there are five typed spacesaf ter the first p. The cata log wi l l not loadcompletely without the five spaces.

A loop is now used to number the file createdin the previous sect ion. The value of x isreset to 1 and directed to the beginning ofthe file. We find the <> brackets and replacewhatever is in there with the current value ofx. Next 1 is added to the value of x and theprogram is directed to replace the value inthe next set of <> brackets, and so on untilthe <> brackets are not found. The programadds a single < bracket to the end of the fileand saves the file to disk as Directory.

The final section of the program deletes thedirectory file that was used to load and printa l l the fi les, c lears the screen and leavesWPL.

The nice part of WPL is the ability to do someof the more tedious tasks automatical ly (ormore conveniently). I sometimes wind up tryingto save a file on the text file disk only toget a disk full message. I then have to finda disk, initialize it and then save my file onit. I wrote a WPL program to calculate ther e m a i n i n g s e c t o r s o n a d i s k . T h i s i scertainly not unique as I could use FID, butthat would require booting the Master disk,running FID to get the free sectors and thenreboot ing AWIIE. The program is simi lar tot h e fi l e p r i n t e r p r o g r a m e x c e p t t h a t t h ecatalog to memory file is not saved to disk.T h e fi l e i s m a n i p u l a t e d t o g i v e j u s t t h esectors for each f i Le and then each string isa s s i g n e d t o y a n d a d d e d t o z ( t h eaccumulator).

It isa little slow, but much more convenient thanreboot i.ng everythi ng.
