FRISON PROJECT REPORT

by Rita Toth

VE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE HAD BOWATIONS OF ZX81's AND A 151000 FOR THE PRISOWERS IN NEVADA.

WATE SHULMAN BAS ABLE T6 OBTAIN FOUR ZX@1’s AT LOCAL FLEA MARKETS.

REX LUNBGREN CAME 10 THE RESCUE AND GAVE HIS TINE AMD EXPERTISE FOR THE NEEBED REPAIRS SO THAT THE COMPUTERS

WOULD BE IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION BEFORE BEING SENT T0 THE PRISON.

JAMES GRIFFIS FROM THE SACRAMENTO USER GROUP, 6.U.1.5., CONNECTED ONE OF THE ZXG1 BOMATIONS FROM WATE TO A CONVENTIONAL KEY BOARD AND ENCLOSED THE KEYBOARD IN A WOOBEN CASE. LOOKS GOOD:

VIRGINIA CUNNINGHAN DONATED A WEW TS1000 ALONG WITH SOME TAPES TO THE PROJECT.

IN ADDITION TO COMPUTERS, THE DONORS ALSO DONATED BOOKS AND TAPES FOR BOTH KINDS OF COMPUTERS.

ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT HAD ALL OF THE NECESSARY EXTRAS, 14K MOBULES, SWITCH BOXES, ETC. SO THAT THE COMPUTERS COULB BE PUT TO IMMEDIATE USE.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A 1S2068 DOMATED. CHRISTNAS WILL BE HERE SOON AND IT WOULD MAKE A NICE PRESENT.

REMEMBER THAT ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX BEBUCTIBLE AND THIS YEAR WILL BE THE LAST YEAR THAT WE CAN TAKE THE CONTRI- BUTION DEDUCTION WITHOUT USING SCHEBULE A.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING WITH THE PRISON PROJECT. THE MEN IN THE PRISON TELL NE THAT THEY APPRECIATE OUR GENEROSITY.

IMELINE FOR. THE BIRDS |]

Here are a couple of programs I wrote to help me draw pictures for my

Banners. "GUIDE" is a great. aid in plotting. It starts on Line 9000

with a STOP on Line 8999 so that it can be MERGEd with any program less

than 8999 lines long. "CURVES" gives me a good idea as to how deep an — arc will be. I used both in designing "BIRD", which I'm also enclosing,

just for fun.

I have two Banner programs; one full-width and one half-width, and the bird can be placed at the bottom or the middle of the screen, depending on which Banner is being used.

I've gotten so much help from Timelinez that I hope this will be of help to someone else. If the same type programs have already been written and published, well, that's the computing business!

Best regards,

Sertie Andersson

SOFTWARE REVIEW by Walt Gaby

THE WORX!

THE THREE KAJOR COMPUTER PROGRAMS ARE WORD PROCESSORS, FILING ("DATA BASE WANAGENENT®) SYSTENS, AND SPREAD- SHEETS. (OTHER POPULAR PROGRAMS DEAL WITH GRAPHICS AND WITH COMMUNICATIONS.) SEVERAL VERSIONS OF EACH OF THESE, OF COURSE, ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE TIMEX/SINCLAIR USER.

BUT WHAT HAS BEEN MISSING FOR THE T/S USER IS THE APPLI- CATION WHICH GROUPS SEVERAL SHORT-TERM USEFUL PROGRAMS TOGETHER FOR DESKTOP CONVENIENCE. THIS APPLICATION IK- CLUDES SUCH ON-GOING TASKS AS AN APPOINTHENT SCHEDULE, A TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, A RUNNING CLOCK, AND A NOTEPAD.

WE NOW HAVE SUCH A PACKAGE AVAILABLE FOR TIMEX-SINCLAIR USERS, "THE WORX!”.

THIS MULTI-PROGRAN, WRITTEN BY ARTEL S. FRATLICH AND DAVID

C. RIDGE, FEATURES THE FOLLOWING ON ITS HAIN NEMU:

1 PLANNER 4 CALCULATOR 7 TIME 2 NOTEPAD 3 DECISION 8 SYSTEM 1/0 3 TELEPHONE 6 BIORHYTHN 8 ©? QUIT

THE TAPE COMES WITH THE TS-2068 VERSION ON OWE SIDE AND THE SPECTRUM VERSION ON THE OTHER. IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A 32-PAGE HANUAL.

AT START-UP, "THE WORK! ASKS FOR THE CURRENT BATE. IT

THEN PRESENTS THE MAIN MENU. (THE OVERALL SYSTEM OF MEWUS

15 PRESENTED ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.) PLANNER (A TIRE SCHEBULE)

THE FIRST PROGRAM PRESENTS THE CALENDAR FOR THE CURRENT MONTH AND A HENU GF SCHEDULING OPTIONS. (THE BATE CAN BE CHANGED AT VILL.) UP TO 40 ACTIVITIES CAM BE ENTERED INCLUDING APPOINTHENTS OR THINGS TO BO. FOR EACH SATE, THESE ACTIVITIES ARE ENTERED EITHER BY CLOCK TINE OR BY TYPE OF ACTIVITY (SUCH AS "WRITE" OR “CALL® OR WHATEVER). ACTIVITIES ARE AUTOMATICALLY RANKED GN THE SCREEN AS THEY ARE ENTERED. ..SEQUENTIALLY FOR SPECIFIC-TIME ACTIVITIES AND ALPHABETICALLY FOR OTHERS.

ACTIVITIES CAN BE ADDED OR DELETED AS DESIRED. ANY ACTIVITY CAN BE SUBSEQUENTLY SEARCHED AND FOUND.

NGTEPAD

THIS PROGRAM EMPLOYS A MINI TEXT EBITOR FOR WRITING SHORT NOTES, REMINDERS, LISTS, ETC. EACH ENTRY (FILE) CAN IN-

CLUDE UP TO 20 LINES OF 32 CHARACTERS EACH. IF DESIRED,

THE 20 LINES CAN BE SORTED IN LEXICOGRAPHICAL ORDER.

248

TELEPHONE (A DIRECTORY!

THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS UP 70 50 ENTRIES OF TWO LINES EACH. THE USER CAN THEN SEARCH ANY SINGLE EWTRY OR CALL FOR A LISTING OF ALL. WHEN A SINGLE ENTRY IS FOUND, IT CAN BE EDITED FURTHER (UPDATED OR CORRECTED) OR DELETED.

CALCULATOR

SELECTING THIS OPTION PRESENTS A CALCULATOR ON THE SCREEN FOR DIRECT USE. WITH THE RELATED MENU, IT BECOMES A PRO- GRAMMABLE CALCULATOR.

USING THE COMPUTER KEYBOARD, THE CALCULATOR PROVIDES FOR ALL ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS (+ - #/ t =) AS WELL AS FIVE FUNCTIONS (LN SGN ABS S@R and EXP). IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR VARIOUS CHOICES FOR CLEARING, STORING, AND RECALLING.

DECISION

THIS 15 A SIMPLE PROGRAM IN WHICH YOU ENTER UP TO 20 CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO MAKING A DECISION (E.6., WHICH PRINTER SHOULD 1 BUY?). IT THEW PRESENTS EVERY PAIRED PERMUTATION OF THESE CONSIDERATIONS AND ASKS YOU 10 INDICATE WHICH OF THE TWO YOU CONSIDER THE HOST INPOR- TANT. BASED UPON YOUR RESPONSES, IT LISTS ALL OF THE CONSIDERATIONS IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE.

BIORHYTHA

GIVEN YOUR DATE OF BIRTH, THIS PROGRAM PURPORTS TO CHART CYCLES OF YOUR PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND INTELLECTUAL PERFORMANCE FOR ANY SELECTED MONTH.

TIE

THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS THE USER TO SET A REAL-TIME CLOCK WHICH CONTINUALLY RUNS AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN IN ALL OF THE PROGRAM HODES. OR IT CAN BE SET AS A TINER...WITH TIME RUNNING BOUN TO ZERO AND THEN RAKING A BEEP SOUND. THIS PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES A MAP OF THE WORLD SHOWING ALL TIME ZONES,

SYSTEN 1/0

THIS ITEM FROM THE WAIN NENU PROVIDES A CHOICE OF FILE OPTIONS IN TERMS OF LOADING, SAVING, OR PRINTING FILES.

QUIT

THIS OPTION FROM THE MAIN MENU STOPS THE PROGRAM AND ALLOWS THE USER TO CUSTOMIZE THE BASIC PROGRAH.

(FOR HONOCHRONATIC MONITORS: IN LINE 9900, CHANGE BOTH 1’s TO 0 AND THE 6 TO 7. THEN GOTO 9900.)

A PARTICULARLY GUTSTANDING FEATURE OF "THE WORX!? IS A "RANDISK® WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE STORAGE OF UP TO FIVE "VIRTUAL FILES". THE PRESENCE OF THIS FEATURE, KNOWN AS "FILER", NEANS THAT FILES CAN BE STORED AND RE-CALLED ON COMMAND INTO ANY OF THE VARIOUS MODES. FOR INSTANCE, IF GNE HAS DEVELOPED AN IMPORTANT PROGRAMMABLE FORMULA IN THE CALCULATOR MODE AND HAS STORED IT IN THE "RAMDISK", THIS FILE CAN BE RE-CALLED TO THE NOTEPAD PROGRAN FOR INCLUSION TN A MEMORANDUM. |

CONRNE NTS

"THE WORX!" IS A VERY GOOD PROGRAM, INDEED! AND, AT A COST OF ONLY $19.95 (PLUS $3.00 FOR S&H), IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

WHILE 7 HAVE NO RESERVATIONS ABOUT RECOMMENDING IT, I 20 HAVE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT HOW I BELIEVE THAT IT MIGHT BE IMPROVED IN ITS NEXT VERSION.

1. INCLUDE A START-UP MENU WHICH PROVIDES A SIMPLE SELECTION OF VARIGUS PRINTER AND PRINTER-INTER- FACE CONFIGURATIONS. {FOR EXAMPLES OF THIS, SEE ZEBRA’S "GREETING CARD DESIGNER’ OR "TECHBRAW’ OR "MSCRIPT" WITH JACK BOHANY’S VERSION 5S ENHANCE- MENTS. }

2. ABD A MAILING LABLE PROGRAM,

3. PROVIDE FOR DIRECT DIALING OF THE TELEPHONE (THROUGH A MOBEN) FROM THE TELEPHONE DIRECTORY. {1 AN WOT SUGGESTING THE SENDING OR RECEIVING OF DATA.)

4. ALLOW FOR MORE VIRTUAL FILES ON THE RANDISK.

15 THERE ROOM FOR THESE ABBITIONS?2? 1 HAVEN'T THE FOGSIEST NOTION! BUT PERHAPS BY BROPPING "BIORHYTHN® (A FRIVOLOUS PROGRAM AT BEST), DROPPING “DECISION” (AN OVERLY SIMPLISTIC PROGRAM FOR REAL USE...A SPREADSHEET FORMAT ALLOWING FOR WEIGHTING WOULD BE NUCH BETTER), AND EVEN BROPPING THE WORLBWIDE TINE-ZONE MAP {WHILE VERY VELL DRAWN, IT WOULD NOT HAVE FREQUENT USE), ENOUGH SPACE MIGHT BE CREATED TG PROVIDE FOR THESE AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.

AGAIN...1 RECOMMEND "THE WORX!" TO ALL READERS. LOABED FIRST THING EVERY MORNING, PARTICULARLY WITH A BISK-DRIVE SYSTEM, "THE WORX!" COULD VERY WELL BECOME THE MOST USED PROGRAM THAT YOU HAVE. IT CAN BE PURCHASED FROM:
