I have tested them with many programs, and the TrackBall works with all Mouse-driven programs that I have tested except for Grapote on CompuServe recently from Charles Sykora about a replacement for the //e Mouse...at a very reasonable price!

He says the new program should be ready somnew to our library offerings this month is "The Apple Interface Manual" compiled by Dave Glawson and donated to the SIG by Ivan Munson of Palm Desert, California. It includes information on how to hook up all varieties of Apples, including our /// to varitempts to make every disk we offer self-booting and provide a menu program that will not only run a program but also read text files.

When Al Lambert and I started putting these things together, our goal was to have PD disks that worked and were unique from what other clubs, like TAU might offer. We are the only group that atoject please let Tom or me know. I am also interested in finding a volunteer who would be willing to prepare a disk that would include a catalog of all our offerings and provide a description of each program (it would be disk 1000). I'd also be inext files, as well as run Pascal programs. This would be a great addition and will really increase our ability to offer a wider range of disks. Any of you who are familiar with another language like Forth who might be interested in taking on a similar prTom Bartkiewicz is working on a Pascal version of our Menu.Maker program. I saw a demonstration during our October meeting and it looks like a real winner. Tom says he plans to have it be able to read not only ASCII text files, but Pascal text and 3EZP tfidence program on it. A tutorial is provided on Side One, with the program itself on Side Two. In the future, look for the first disks from Taylor Pohlman's Softalk articles on Business Basic. I'm also happy to announce that /// SIG Co-Chairman with five disks and at this reading offer 12 disks. The latest is our Sketchpad and Slideshow disk which I discussed last month. Disk 1013 is already finished and will be available shortly. It is called "Apple /// Diagnostics" and has the Apple /// Conthe second button for a Sensitivity Button. With a simple click of this button you can double, halve, or normalize the motion sensitivity of the cursor to the TrackBall. New programs can disable Mouse-emulation mode using one of the fourteen Device Control Requests to read the status of the second button. The TrackBall liberates you from the MouseTrap in which you have been caged by the Mouse. No more need to have 4 square feet to roll around the Mouse! It works great with Draw On ///.

Miastkowski gives this formula for figuring count: frequency = 50900/count (18383 to 100). He says this will give you a seven octave range, from C three octaves below middle C to E-flat four octaves above midles you must deal with in any music program you put together. Mode tells the driver you are requesting a tone and must be 128. Volume is how loud the tone will be, up to 64 (which is very loud!). Count is the pitch of the tone, ranging from 18383 to 100 .AUDIO driver in the form of special characters.

Apple's Taylor Pohlman, who was intimately involved in developing Business Basic also worked on the GS version. It is powerful! Taylor demonstrated a version of the GS demo program that was written entirely in GS Basic months.

Apple is bundling this thing with all new MAC SE's and //s and selling it to current owners basically at cost ($50.00 from dealers, of which $26.00 goes to Apple). Apple is reportedly looking into a GS version as well. But for many MAC use data base. It can combine graphics, text and "buttons" (which are icons that let you do things like dial a phone) and link them together in various ways. You build "stacks" of information one "card" at a time, and the stacks can be saved like any other could be developed if money and time were no object. After culling out all the things currently technologically impossible, HyperCard was what was left!! It's hard to describe, but I'd call the program a powerful data base that is much more than a. He was asked after the initial demonstration how he came to develop HyperCard. He said that when he had completed his last programming project, he sat back and thought about what future computers would be like; fantasizing about a "dream machine" that ou will have had a chance to see what it can do at the special WAP HyperCard demo held earlier this month. Atkinson came to Chicago after a seven nation tour and was very gracious to show off the program not once, but twice to Phase /// attendeespublic domain. That includes the programs as well.

If you are interested in buying the new version outright you can indicate that too. On Three's number is 800-443-8877. I'll hopefully be able to tell you the final decision in next month's Journal. Lissner says it will take him about thre considering the mailing went out in late January. Lissner reportedly said he wanted 5000 orders for the upgrade and given this initial response, there seems to be some optimism at On Three that the project could go through. If you have not called, pleass to Charlene Ryan, we also contacted all members of the SIG, letting them know about the possible upgrade and to call On Three to place an order. As of February 12, I was told at least 1000 owners of the program have called. An excellent responseper, Robert Lissner agreed to consider doing the upgrade if enough owners of the original program (translation: you don't have an illegal copy) were willing to pay a $50.00 upgrade fee. On Three got the message out over CompuServe and by mass mail. Thankloper of the integrated program /// EZ Pieces (AppleWorks to our // bretheren) to upgrade the program to the current 2.0 version. /// EZ Pieces has never been upgraded beyond its original 1.0 level and has more than its share of bugs. The develo ON THE TRAIL OF THE APPLE /// By David Ottalini /// SIG Co-Chairman There's lots to report on the Apple /// front this month, fellow ///ers so here we go: /// EZ Pieces Upgrade As you are aware, On Three has been working with the deveof these sort of "Information Disks" in the future to the PD library so that /// SIG members can continue to get the most out of their machines. ### ## hem up into Apple Writer, 3 EZ Pieces, Word Juggler or Ink Well and print the files from there. The New Member Disk is a great tool for beginning /// users and a nice resource for folks who've been using their /// for a while. We hope to add more menu program from the other side). Finally, if you want to print any of these files directly, simply run the "Text.Dump" program on side 2 and you can print the designated file. And since almost all these files are text files, you can also pull tt the "Escape" key. The current prefix will be displayed at the top left of the screen. Use the left arrow key to move the cursor and type in the new prefix (on the New Members disk, all you have to do is change the "1" to a "2" or vice versa to load thee Apple /// system is comprised of. If you want to get out of the Menu program to get back to Business Basic, simply hit the "Control" key and "C" at the same time. And if you want to change the prefix to load the other side of the disk, simply his is probably the last chance we will ever have to get this upgrade, so please call if you have not done so already. BUSINESS BASIC ON THE //GS One more indication that the Apple /// continues to live is well-placed rumor that Apple has taken our own Business Basic off the shelf to give it a make-over for use on the new //gs. An outside firm reportedly has the source code and is in the process of making the conversion now. According to Frank Moore of The /// Magazine, the primary reasonof Acreman Engineering in Austin, Texas is heading up the effort. Specifically, he is looking for "Wish Lists" of what you would like to see for future enhancements to the ///. He is asking that the suggestions be limited to hardware or SOS and that the we've been using for years! All we need now is a platinum case! APPLE /// WISH LIST One of the panels being developed for the Phase /// Conference in Chicago October 2-4 is a discussion about potential enhancements for our ///s. Chris Acreman, at some of these articles, all of which the WAP library has in its collection of Softalk magazines. APPLE //E UPGRADE Notice the new Apple //e now comes with a built-in keypad like our ///? Apple continues to upgrade its // line to the machine ntire series into our Public Domain library. All the articles are on disk, making it an easy task to prepare them for inclusion in the diskiteria. Any of you gs users interested in learning about the great Basic you may soon be getting should take a look working on Business Development. Some time ago I wrote to him, asking for permission to reprint his excellent series of articles on Business Basic that were published in Softalk. It took him a while, but Pohlman has now told me we can place the eh best selling computer in the country. But the effort (though no fault of his own) ultimately failed because Apple decided that wasn't good enough to keep it going. Pohlman left to work elsewhere, but he is now back in the Marketing Department at Apple,he man who had to get the /// back into the marketplace after its early troubles. He was the one who issued Apple /// buttons to everyone in sight that read "Let Me Reintroduce Myself." His campaign was a success to the point that the /// became the sixtd). We hope to have a card to test in the near future and will report back to you on it at that point. WELCOME BACK, TAYLOR! Back at Apple, there's a "new" old face these days. Many long-time users of the /// will remember Taylor Pohlman as t will be $180.00 and that includes a power cable for the IBM disk drive. They also plan to sell a card and drive combination for $325.00 in the near future. And ASKY now has a BBS dedicated to users of the card. That number is 408-943-1950 (300/1200 bauole driver. That should make the porting of /// Pascal programs much easier, although porting over to the 16 bit environment with the Toolkit could cause some problems. Finally, an update on the ASKY Envoy card I mentioned last month. It's priceshing BB programs. And if the Beagle Brothers gt ahold of the language, watch out! On another front, there are also reports the new gs Toolkit being developed for that machine's Pascal 1.3 system will have routines to emulate the Apple ///'s .Consc programs that are already in existence can be ported over to the gs without many difficulties. That should help Apple /// vendors still selling Business Basic programs as well as get new ones going. Some of the Apple // magazines might even start publiion (since it will be able to take advantage of the 16 bit chip the /// never got). But the good news is that except for specific assembler routines, many of the programs should work directly on our machine. Additionally, many of the Business Basi Apple is going ahead with this project is to give it a Basic language system it can own and control 100%. Microsoft apparently has some rights to Applesoft. As you might imagine, the new version for the gs will be more powerful than our latest 1.23 versrequests be "performance specific." Acreman also wants to know what you'd be willing to pay for the enhancement. You can drop him a note on Compuserve by sending E-Mail to 72747,3060 or call and leave a note on ///'s Company at 804-747-8752 in Apple.III.Help/ Mail.Boxes/Row.4/Chris.Acreman.

Data. It's being billed as the "First major gathering designed explicitly for the business and professional user of Apple Computers." As mentioned earlier, it will be held Friday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 4th. It will include seminars, workshops machines are the same and everything else should be fairly simple. Schreiber says, however, that you might need to make sure the LF and CR are not duplicated.

You must also make sure the settings of your telecom programs in bothd usefulness of our machine. APPLE /// TO IBM What's the best way to get information transferred from your Apple /// to an IBM clone? Chuck Schrieber of the Apple Three Users of Northern California says one way is to do it by direct connection ated he would be willing to write a driver for the SCSI card Apple is selling (it is believed it will fit into our machine). If that happens, we will have access to all the new hard disks Apple and other vendors are coming out with, continuing the life ansays it will NOT come with patches to allow programs like 3EZ Pieces to use the extra RAM! Unless someone bales the developer out on that one its usefulness , even at the lower price, will be minimized. I also hear that an Apple employee has indic says the board is now in prototype form and will be offered for $175.00! Dobrowolski says in the February "News and Views" the new board will utilize 256k by 1 RAMs exclusively and will come with installation instructions (thank goodness!). But he also developed, they will make them available to both machines. The Spelling Checker has run into some problems but should be out soon. There is also rumor of a new 512k board being introduced. Joe Dobrowolski of the Apple THREE Group Internationaltinue to announce new modules for DesktopManager and have lowered the prices on some products, notable the 512k upgrade (which I am taking advantage of). Like Pair Software, On Three is actively porting products over to the gs and says as new products arete product catalog, which ran to 19 pages. There are also plans to start printing The /// Magazine with a laser printer (but not a LaserWriter) in the near future. On Three started doing that with its January issue. Speaking of On Three, they conuration program. He has also introduced his own version of the 3.5" UniDisk driver, and now has many new hardware offerings. Unfortunately, prices have had to be increased on most products as well. Just recently, Pair sent out its first separaname these products, with his original name being "Bak-2-SOS". And at Pair Software, the afore mentioned Frank Moore plans to offer an XMODEM protocal telecommunications program shortly, along with the long-promised alternative to the System Confige hard disks and Catalyst or Selector call the Titan emulation directly from the menu and when finished in // mode get back to the menu again. He does it with a special Interpreter file you install like any other. Daryl is currently holding a contest to systems has already come out with a series of RAM drivers for users of the Titan ///+// and ///+//e cards that optimizes the RAM disk feature. I can attest greatly to their usefulness . Now, he has come out with programs designed to let /// users who havand even a limited attendance /// Forever Luncheon to honor the people who have made major contributions to the continuing value of the Apple ///. However, it should be noted the conference will NOT just be for Apple /// users. It includes the entire Apple computer family. A Phase /// Exhibition is being planned for vendors to show off and sell their wares. All attendees to the conference will have free access to the Exhibition as well. Conference fees are now out and it includes an incenade and urge that they call On Three. I don't know how many actually did but to those who called, thank you for your support. So we are stuck with the 1.0 version of /// EZ Pieces. Despite its bugs, however, it remains one of the best programs ev to show their support by placing an order. Of all the letters sent out, On Three only got 13 hundred responses. Quite a statement about the Apple /// community! I know our own Charlene Ryan called every member of our SIG to let them know about the upgr50.00 upgrade fee. Unfortunately, Lissner wanted to see 5000 paying customers up front. On Three sent out a mailing to 22 THOUSAND Apple /// owners (of whom an estimated 10,000 own /// EZ Pieces), telling them about the upgrade and asking ownersto the 2.0 version of AppleWorks failed. The basic reason was a lack of interest. As we told you in past columns, the developer of both programs, Robert Lissner, agreed to do the upgrade. But only if enough owners of /// EZPs would be willing to pay a $last month's meeting after I was unable to attend due to the arrival of our new member of the family. /// EZ PIECES UPGRADE DIES As many of you are aware by now, the attempt by On Three to generate enough interest in an upgrade for /// EZ Pieces to rave reviews from Mom and Dad Ottalini and is now doing very well at home.

The company that owns the rights to /// EZ Pieces, by the way, Haba/Arrays appears to have gone completely bellie-up.
