See you on the wires! -Wayne (Rat Fink) [EOA] [LIB]////////////////////////////// ONLINE LIBRARY / ///////////////////////////////// The Online Library """""""""""""""""" By Mel Fowler [MELSOFT] FILES, FILES, FILES! This month we'll take a look at some recently """""""""""""""""""" uploaded software, highlighting those files I think deserve a second look. So let's get started. [*][*][*] For those of us that still love Classic Appleworks the National Appleworks Users Group (NAUG) has uploaded Printer Drivers for most of the printers that were not covered in the original program. These printer drivers come in the form of SEG.ER files that contain customized pre-set codes for different printers. To use a particular driver all you do is rename the SEG.ER file on your copy of AW3 to another name, such as OLD.SEGER, then copy the driver you wish to used to your disk and rename it SEG.ER. There are some 43 drivers included and they cover most of the newer Letter Quality dot matrix, Ink Jet, and Laser Jet printers. Complete instructions are included with notes about the use of each printer driver. You can write to NAUG if you have a printer not included with the uploads and they will be added to the list. This is upload is very helpful for Appleworks version 3.0 users. 20311 PRINTDRV1.BXY 20312 PRINTDRV2.BXY Do you have a collection of your favorite DOS 3.3 """""""""""""""""""" programs but you hardly ever run them because you must undergo so much trouble on your Apple IIGS to do it? Wouldn't it be great if you could just put those DOS 3.3 programs on your hard disk and run them like any other program? With the programs and files included with DOS 3.3 Launcher you can do just that. John MacClean from Australia gives us this capability with his DOS 3.3 Copier/Launcher program. ProDOS 8-bit versions are also included so you can work directly from the 8-bit level. Several options are available from DOS 3.3 Copier including switching to 1 Mhz system speed as the program is launched. I would highly recommend this great set of utilities for anyone that likes those classic DOS 3.3 programs. There is a $10 US or $15 Australian Shareware fee. 20316 DOS33.LNCHR.BXY Go. Yes, Go. No don't get up and leave just """""""""""""""""""""" yet. This GO is in reference to the ancient oriental game. There are so many rules for this game that it is played differently depending which country you are in. So it's no wonder that nobody has come up with a true version of GO that can be played on the Apple IIGS. Formerly, only the children's version of trying to get five pieces in a row has been available. The latest offering from Kenrick Mock called Pente GS is in this category. However, just like Kenrick's mind, this version has an interesting twist, or I should say "several" interesting twists. Pente GS is easy to learn, and has great graphics and sound. It is recommended for 7 year olds and higher, although most 7 year olds would be hard to beat. Therefore, Kenrick included a computer opponent with three levels of smartness. In the "Trivial" level the computer will only think one move ahead and is finished within a few seconds. The computer is easy to beat at this level with a little practice. In the "Student" level the computer thinks two moves ahead and is done within a minute or two. Then there is the Master level (picture of Einstein sleeping) where the computer will think three moves ahead. As pointed out in the on-screen instructions, this is the slowest level, taking 10 minutes to make a move. The object of the game is the same as previous games: get five pieces in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. However, there is a second way to win, namely, capture five pairs of your opponents pieces. Pieces can be captured if you can sandwich exactly two of your opponents pieces between two of yours. This is a great touch and adds a new dimension to the game. Kenrick you have done it again. There is a $10 Shareware fee. 20318 PENTE.GS.BXY Often, I have been in the middle of a project using """"""""""""""""""" an Apple IIGS application program and wished that I could rename a file or create a new subdirectory, or generally do file keeping without having to leave my application. The Classic Desk Accessory (CDA) File-A-Trix by Karl Bunker is the answer to this problem. File-A-Trix is a complete set of file utilities which can do the following functions: o Catalog any online disk, showing the contents of any folder o Copy files from one disk or folder to another o Move files -- i.e., copy and then delete the original o Delete files o Lock and unlock files, or change their type or auxtype o Rename files o Create a new folder o View or print text files, and the text content of other files o Find a file on a disk, using its name or partial name o Initialize (format) 3.5" disks There is a $10.00 Shareware fee. 20392 FILE.A.TRIX.BXY Bouncing Ferno is one of the many games to come """""""""""""""""""""" from the French based Free Tool Association (FTA), since defunct. Joe Kohn of Shareware Solutions fame, in association with the FTA, conducted a contest for the best levels that could be generated with the levels maker which was included with the original game. A second contest was done for programmers which challenged them to complete the game using the source code supplied by the FTA. Well to make a short story shorter, Brett Dunst of Palos Verdes, CA won for supplying the best new Bouncin'Ferno levels, and Dustin Mitchell of Scarborough, Maine, a 14 year old High School Freshman won the grand prize for creating the most fabulous new game. The result is Bouncing Ferno II. This version of the FTA inspired game is fully IIGS compatible and hard drive installable. There are two levels of 25 rooms each. Some rooms are easy, but some are really tough but the main thing is that the flavor of the game is still FTA. This was a great way to continue to FTA tradition and we hope with the help of such people as John Kohn the tradition will continue. This program is Freeware. You will need the English versions of the game documentation which is available in the A2 Library at file: 18711 BF.US.DOCS.TXT. 20394 FERNO2.BXY 20442 BONCN.FRNO2.BXY (non-bootable) For HyperStudio version 3.1, the """""""""""""""""""""" people at DreamWorld have developed a New Button Action (NBA) entitled View32 v1.00. View32 permits the inclusion of 16/256/3200 color and 640 mode graphics into your HyperStudio stacks. This file also contains complete documentation on how to use View32. View32 NBA is Dreamware meaning if you are a registered owner of DreamGraphix it is free; otherwise there is a $5.00 Shareware fee. 20433 V32.NBA.BXY One of the best educational programs to come along in """""""""""""""""" quite some time is a game by Richard Schecter called the Presidents Game. The game asks you to identify the presidents by which number they are, which years they were in office, information about the presidents, nicknames, by picture or by all the above. Who was the only President to serve two terms separated by four years? Which President lost the popular vote but was still elected? You will learn this and a lot more about our Presidents. This game will run on any Apple II and is Shareware $10.00. 20437 PRES.BXY """"""""""""""" [*][*][*] As a final note, remember to support those who support the Apple II. By sending in those shareware fees, you're sending an important, encouraging message to shareware developers. [EOA] [BEG]////////////////////////////// BEGINNER'S CORNER / ///////////////////////////////// The System Utilities Disk """"""""""""""""""""""""" By Phil Shapiro [P.Shapiro1] [This article is the first in a series of GEnieLamp articles aimed at novice Apple II computer users. It's hoped that some of these "Beginner Corner" articles might be re-printed in user group publications, to help meet the needs of newcomers to the Apple II.] [*][*][*] The Apple II System Utilities disk is a useful disk that was bundled in with every new Apple IIe, IIc, IIGS, and IIc+ computer sold. Many persons who have bought second-hand Apple II computers might be unfamiliar with what the System Utilities disk can do. This article is being written to give an overview of the functions of the System Utilities disk, pointing out the handful of useful "file management" tasks the disk can perform for you. In its early form, between 1983 and 1985, the System Utilities disk was named the "ProDOS Users' Disk." If you're still using the ProDOS Users' Disk with your Apple II, you may want to obtain the latest Apple II System Utilities disk from your local Apple user group. The latest version of the System Utilities disk offers some important disk copying enhancements not found on the either the ProDOS Users' disk, nor on the later Apple IIc System Utilities disk. (These earlier utility disks took upwards of 17 disk swaps to copy a single 5.25 inch disk. The newer System Utilities disk, with its Fast Copy routine, can copy any 5.25 inch disk in two passes, or fewer.) As mentioned above, one of the most useful functions of the System Utilities disk is in making back-up copies of your data disks and your software programs. (Software programs that you buy in the store are also commonly referred to as "applications.") Note, though, that the System Utilities disk can only copy software that is not copy-protected. Since 1990, most software publishers have removed copy-protection schemes from their commercial software. A second important function of the System Utilities disk is to format blank data disks. Data disks are most frequently used to store writing that is created with word processors. But a data disk can equally well be used to store graphics created with a paint program, or music created with a music program. Most Apple IIe and IIc users will be using 5.25 inch floppy disks with their systems. To format 5.25 inch disks you need to specify in which disk drive your data disk is residing. If you have a single 5.25 inch disk drive, that drive is designated as: "Slot 6, Drive 1." If you have a second 5.25 inch drive, that drive is designated as: "Slot 6, Drive 2." These slot and drive designation are purely historical. You do not need to understand why your 5.25 inch disk drive is designated as a "Slot 6" disk drive. To help you remember the slot designations of your drives, you may want to attach a piece of masking tape, showing the slot designation, to the front of the disk drive. In rare instances Apple IIe and IIc users may have a 3.5 inch "UniDisk" disk drive attached to their computer. Such a disk drive would be designated as "Slot 5, Drive 1." The internal 3.5 inch disk drive on all Apple IIc+ computers also has the designation of "Slot 5, Drive 1." When formatting disks with the System Utilities disk, the formatting program will first check to see if there is any existing Apple II programs or data on the disk. If there is, the program will prompt you to make sure you truly intend to overwrite the existing material on disk. If you have any doubts about what is contained on the disk, you can always press escape and then go back and "Catalog" the disk. Doing so reveals the directory, or table of contents of the disk. It may be helpful to know that it's possible to format a "double- sided, double-density" floppy disk that was previously used on an IBM computer system. There happen to be several gazillion of these lying around now that homes and businesses are using high-density 3.5 inch floppy disks for their data and programs. You can't, however, format a high-density IBM 5.25 inch floppy disk on an Apple II disk drive. The formatting program will likely tell you: "Disk is damaged," or, "Having problems accessing disk." High density IBM 5.25 inch disks look almost identical to the standard "double-sided, double-density" disks. The telltale difference is that the high-density disks don't have a reinforcing circular ring in the middle of the disk. Another way to distinguish the two types of disks is the storage capacity listed on the label of the disk. Double-sided, double-density disks have a capacity of 360 kilobytes (360K) on an IBM-style computer. High-density IBM 5.25 inch disks have a capacity of 1.2 megabytes (equivalent to 1200 kilobytes). When formatting a disk, you need to keep in mind the rules ProDOS has for naming disks and naming files. The rules for both types of names are identical. Here they are: 1) Names must be fifteen characters long, or less. 2) Names must start with a letter, but may include numbers within the name. 3) Spaces are not allowed within a name. But periods can be used within the name. It goes without saying that you should give a little thought to how you name your files. Naming of disks is not as important. For reasons that are too complicated to explain in a short space, it's often helpful to keep your disk names short. You may even wish to name your disks with a single letter. (Commonly, your first initial.) A third useful function of the System Utilities disk is to catalog a disk. By cataloging a disk you can view the disk's directory, or table of contents. This can be very useful when you need to refresh your memory about which files are contained on a given disk. Cataloging a disk also shows you how much free room is left on the disk. Knowing how much free room is left on a disk can be helpful in letting you know when you need to format another data disk. If the System Utilities disk indicates that you have less than 10K on a given disk, the time is ripe to format another data disk. For those of you who may be wondering how much writing can fit in a given amount of disk space, you might recall that 2K of disk space is roughly equivalent to a single typed, double-spaced page. So a formatted ProDOS 5.25 inch disk holds (140K) holds about 70 typed pages of writing. Likewise, a formatted 3.5 inch floppy disk (800K) holds about 400 typed pages of writing. The Apple II System Utilities disk will catalog the older DOS 3.3 disks, as well as the newer ProDOS based disks. Many of the earlier public domain and shareware programs can be found on DOS 3.3 disks. DOS 3.3 was the standard disk operating system for the Apple II, up until ProDOS was introduced in 1984. These two disk operating systems are incompatible with one another, although it's possible to transfer text files quite easily back forth between DOS 3.3 and ProDOS disks. A fourth useful function of the System Utilities disk is in deleting files that you no longer need. It's not uncommon for someone to save some writing that they've done, expecting that at some time in the future they might possibly have a need for it. Two years later, they then discover, that this earlier writing no longer has much usefulness. The System Utilities delete function can then be used to delete the file that no longer has much use. By doing so you can free up disk space that can be used for newer data. Some of the functions on the System Utilities disk are very seldom used by anyone at all. You can use the System Utilities to lock and unlock files. This simple procedure helps you protect against accidentally overwriting a file that contains important information. Very few people lock their files, however, because the whole idea advantage of using computers is to update data files with newer, edited versions of the data. Another seldom used function of the System Utilities disk is the function to create subdirectories. Subdirectories, also called folders, can be helpful in organizing your files on a disk. But using subdirectories requires that you have a mastery of ProDOS pathnames. Beginners can safely stay away from subdirectories without missing out much. Even if you don't use its functions very often, it's good to be aware of what the Apple II System Utilities disk can do. And if you've bought a second-hand Apple IIe, IIc, or IIc+ computer that didn't come with the System Utilities disk, you would do well to get a copy of it from your local Apple user group. The latest Apple II System Utilities disk is also available for downloading from the Apple II libraries on GEnie, America Online, and CompuServe.

With an Apple II and the right software you can do virtually n "Apple II Software Classics." Together, these directories can help you find the software that's right for you. Needless to say, we couldn't include every noteworthy Apple II program in this booklet's limited space. In "How Do I Get Started?" we offer aI makes any communications job both satisfying and easy. Virtually any word processing program can do the trick. Some word processors, such as Mouse Write, II Write and AppleWorks GS 1.1, have an easy-on-the-eyes screen appearance featuring menus you pull down like window shades. Point to the File menu with a mouse. Pull down the menu and click the mouse button to choose the Print option that's displayed.

Information Age Organizing life's little details just got simpler, too. """"""""""""""" With a filing program like AppleWorks 3.0, AppleWorks GS 1.1, or DB Master Version Five, electronic address books and holiday card lists are a cinch to edit and update. If you're active in sports leagues or community groups, a computerized filing program is indispensable. Not only can you track organization members, you can print the information on name badges, RolodexThanks to modems and modern telecommunication s software like Point-to-Point and ReadyLink, you can chat with other computer users (more than a few romances have started this way), learn about new software products, reserve airplane tickets, buy a microwave oven, and play a round of chess with a distant and unseen competitor...all with a single phone call. Innumerable special interest groups (SIGs) have evolved on BBSes since personal computing's early days. Are you a Star Trek buff? Rest assured there aremputer users nationwide who share your disdain for Klingons. If you're retired, contact SeniorNet to learn about lifestyle and legislative issues affecting you. SpecialNet's a SIG serving the needs of special education and rehabilitation professionals. Computing may sometimes seem a solitary pursuit, but just wait 'til you go online!

Getting your message uce buttons, badges, magnets, and key rings. Projects like these aren't just fun to do--they're perfect for gift giving and fund raising, as well. Media Moguls If you think pictures are worth a thousand words, picture """""""""""" this: With a desktop publishing program like Publish It!4, AppleWorks GS 1.1, or GraphicWriter III, you can enhance nearly any message with geometric shapes, colors, patterns, and illustrations. Best of all, you don't have to be a graphics artist because desktop publishing programs provideto make custom invitations or decorative banners--maybe even a personalized Pin the Tail on the Donkey game poster--for your child's next birthday party. Programs like The New Print Shop, The Print Shop IIGS, and SuperPrint! handle these projects with gusto. Choose a typeface, type the message you want, then select and position illustrations. That's all there is to it! In short, a desktop publishing program may prove to be one of your best software investments. Every day, countless Apple II users createle II programs like On Balance, Managing Your Money 5.0, Quicken, and AlphaCheck Plus take the drudgery out of setting up a budget and balancing the checkbook. Bill paying may be no less painful when your computer prints checks for you, but at least the pain subsides more quickly. Personal finance programs help with long term planning, too. Forecasting your tax liability during the year with a program like Swiftax or Tax Preparer can keep April 15th from expanding into a 24-hour Maalox Moment. Purchasing n software the easy way: Design templates that work with programs such as AppleWorks 3.0 or AppleWorks GS. (For more information about these special computer files, see "What's a Template Anyway?") Both AppleWorks 3.0 and AppleWorks GS are called "integrated" programs because each includes more than a single application. With AppleWorks 3.0 you get a word processor (with spell checker), a database manager, and a spreadsheet program. Spreadsheets have math smarts built in, so they're perfect for designing instance, thanks to an electronic "Clipboard" feature. For value and performance, you can't top integrated programs.

If your taste runs more to fantasy adventure, try Pirates! or the King's Quest series. "Gimme some arcade action," you say? Look no further than Pipe Dream or Senseless Violence II. Computer widows and widowers should be advised, though: These games are addicting! Apple II entertainment programs run the gamut from products like the games mentioned ady Lab) accessory packs. Future rocket scientists should explore In Search of Space: Introduction to Model Rocketry if they haven't yet been exposed to this challenging and enjoyable hobby. Products like these turn your Apple II into a scientific workstation. Some of the best Apple II educational products--Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? and Audubon Wildlife Adventures: Whales to name but two--combine game-like sequences with stunning color graphics and realistic sound effects. Other programs, like Word Munchers or Math Blaster Plus, cleverly disguise phonics or math facts with fast-paced arcade action. If study skills get a tad rusty, consider the assortment of "homework helpers" available.

This superb product has all the tools you need to create artwork of any kind from simple illustrations to professional paintings. Most people quickly discover that creating computer art is easier than "doing art" with traditional tools. At any one time, the Platinum Paint palette can feature 16 colors of the 4096 available. Computer paints mix perfectly. Moreover, you can swap colors or switch from pastel mode to charcoal mode by clicking on pull down menu choices with the moua bundle on airfare--and brush up on their French and Spanish at the same time--with Ticket to Paris and other programs in the Ticket to... series of travel simulations. Sports card collectors can have a field day using databases like Donruss Collectors Guide, Topps Collectors Guide, and Card Fax, a program with information not just about baseball cards but about football and basketball cards, as well. Philatelists and numismatists can manage their investments with--what else?--Stamps or Coins. Even oento write their own programs from scratch in computer languages such as AppleSoft BASIC, Assembly, Pascal, or C. While BASIC (an acronym that stands for Beginner's All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is by far the easiest programming language to learn and use, others require considerable study and practice--not to mention special software for your Apple II to "understand" these languages in the first place. Companies like Apple Computer, Byte Works, Morgan Davis Group, Roger Wagner Publishing, So What Soflled a "stack"; each screen display, a "card." Say you want to prepare a presentation about birds of the tropical rain forest. You would probably create a separate card, with pertinent facts and perhaps a picture, for each species. You'd enliven your card with a variety of symbolic icons (pictures) called "buttons." Adding a button is as easy as pulling down a menu to invoke the program's "add a button" feature. When the user clicks on it, the button may turn the page, so to speak, taking the viewer from ge you face as an Apple II user is not learning how to use your computer--it's deciding what to use your computer for. If the possibilities seem mind-boggling at first, pace yourself. The Apple II has been around for a long time and will continue to provid No one, it seems, has written a program to referee the endless tennis matches played by health care providers and Uncle Sam. And while there are dozens of grade book programs available, none may offer the special mix of features you need. Thanks to programs like AppleWorks 3.0 and AppleWorksGS1.1 you neither have to "do without" nor "make do." With less effort than you think, you can design a custom template to tackle just about any project you can dream up--whether it's remodeling the kitchen, designi Then give your template a name and save the file on a data disk. After you write your next letter with the AppleWorks GS word processor, electronically "paste" the letter's text onto your letterhead template, which appears on screen in a separate document "window." Then print the completed letter on your printer. The same three steps apply to any task: Create the template, store it on a data disk, and call it back to the computer screen when you wish. In time, of course, you'll discover new ways to improt save any new versions on a floppy disk. Toying with unlimited template ideas is one of the many powerful things you can do with your Apple II. It may come as no surprise, then, that among millions of Apple II users there are some entrepreneurial or altruistic types who create ready-to-use templates for those of us who have neither the time nor the inclination to design our own. Buying a template is often an inexpensive way to tackle a project. Moreover, studying templates designed by experienced Apple Ibudget templates--or grade book templates!--the public domain is a good place to start. Templates of higher quality usually command higher prices, too. Few template disks cost more than $40, however. Most commercial disks hold ten or more template projects. For example, Witkin's Best by AppleWorks 3.0 expert Ruth Witkin offers a dozen financial templates covering topics like income taxes and investments. And each disk in the AppleWorks Productivity Pak series from inCider/A+ Special Products features teneate personalized birthday greetings. If variety's the spice of your computing life, take a subscription to SoftDisk, a "magazine on disk" featuring computer programs, games, and clip art...as well as templates. Teachers searching for AppleWorks templates need look no further than the Teachers' Idea & Information Exchange (TI&IE).

Help for the novice, casual user and expert. <> Enter Scrollback (when offline) at the touch of an ARROW key. <> When entering/exiting the Install menu, the terminal window is maintained. <> Text entry fields now have the concept of a "HARD-SPACE" and it is entered using OPTION-SPACEBAR. The HARD-SPACE is displayed using the checkerboard character mouse text character and works with Find, Replace, Reply mode and Printer-Init to name a few. <> There is now a Preference to control how much memory ProTERM will attempt to use when it runs. This is particularly useful for Slinky RAM users since it means they can partition their memory card between a RAM disk and ProTERM. Bank Switched RAM users, can partition their RAM cards in the event that ProTERM does not recognize the RAM-disk software being used. <> The parameters associated with Quick Dial are now saved between different Quick Dial attempts (not between program runs). <> Within the file selector: COMMAND-Left/Right-ARROW Changes to the previous/next online volume. COMMAND-Up-ARROW Moves to the Parent directory. COMMAND-Down-ARROW Opens a directory. (These commands are Macintosh conventions.) <> Compatible with Textalker-GS vtt1.2 for sight impaired users. <> Pathnames allow the convention of drive location (/5,1/FILE.NAME - /6,2/MY.FILE etc.) entries. <> COMMAND-PERIOD is now equivalent to pressing the ESCAPE key. <> A Mouse-Down on the Date, Time, or Label in the Status-Bar automatically executes a Global Macro to perform user-defined functions. <> Editor Capture, Printer Capture and Receive ASCII now allow their status bars to be hidden. <> The Screen Saver now accepts a time out up to 30 minutes, and does not activate during an ASCII send. <> The File:Catalog command now displays as many files as can loaded into memory either alphabetically or as they are arranged in the file. <> The File:Print command now accepts batch filename selection. If multiple files are printed, then the setting of Eject Final Page determines whether each document is printed separately, or if they are all appended and print immediately following one another. <> The File:View command now displays location within text by screens and bytes and has a new Goto button for quick access to the screen number of choice. <> New management of incoming characters prevents character loss during mouse and COMMAND key use. <> A full 15 character volume name is allowed. <> Dramatic improvements in disk I/O error handling. Emulation """"""""" <> HeathKit H19 Emulation now supports a "mode-select" to enable Auto-CR to be added to an LF. <> Pascal Firmware emulation is now included as part of the software. <> Default parameters for Emulate File are now saved with the other preferences. <> Split-Screen Chat emulation now wraps the cursor after the 80th character instead of the 79th. (This is similar to the way VT-100 works.) <> The emulation system has been changed so that a line which is cleared via a Clear-Line or Clear-to-End-of-Line from Col 0 now puts the line into Scrollback. <> VT-100 emulation has been changed so that margins are supported correctly. In prior versions, the vertical margins controlled both scrolling and clearing data (actual VT-100 terminals only control scrolling). <> There is now a Control Show emulation which does diagnostics similar to ProTERM 2.2 but also indicates high-bit data via reverse video. Modem/Drivers """"""""""""" <> Data Formats of 7E2 and 7O2 are now supported. While unusual, these are occasionally requested. <> When the ATDT dialing string is sent to the modem, it is truncated to the exact length instead of padding to 32 characters (the length of the phone number field). This assists compatibility problems with old modems. <> The USR HST driver works with the "/" messages added. <> A printer init string is now located in the install window. This string is sent to the printer prior to starting ANY kind of printer operation (print-screen, online printing, Editor printing, print file). This allows a clean to way to send a string to the port (like to change the baud rate) or to the printer (to always enable a certain font/size/etc). <> New modem drivers: - Quality Computers Q-Modem 2400. - Boca Research 14.4Kbps Modem. - Prometheus ProModem 2400 Mini. <> The size of the PT3.CODE0 file has been reduced by about 1/3 as compared to PT3.0. This saves some disk space and allows easier downloading of updated files. <> The baud (bps) of 57600 is now directly supported by the software. In addition, the SSC only shows rates of 110..19200 as being available. <> The driver loader / modem drivers have been redesigned to allow the possibility of user defined drivers. The modem drivers have all been recoded into assembly language and many of the existing drivers have been consolidated. <> It is possible to enable (via Macro pokes) a "data clicker" which can tick whenever a character is sent or received. <> There is now just a single Apple //gs Modem Port driver which exhibits better performance under GS/OS and AppleTalk. The ProTERM Editor """""""""""""""""" <> When data is inserted/deleted in the Editor, the Editor pans to show the change. <> The Editor now has a label in the MenuBar. <> There is a preference to "allow" use of the ruler. When turned off, PT3 will never save the ruler. <> It is now possible to View Files directly from the Editor. Choosing the "Edit" button inserts data at the current Editor cursor position. <> When exiting & re-entering the Editor (and Scrollback), the cursor position (line and column) is saved and restored. <> Find/Replace strings in the Editor are now saved between entry/exit of the Editor (and Scrollback). <> Paste-to-Modem directly from the Editor is changed and improved. <> A customized prompt string used and saved as a preference in Reply formatting. <> When a file smaller than 13 lines is loaded into the Editor, the display correctly positions the small file on the opening screen. Macros """""" <> PRint commands now work in the Editor and the Channel #6 command can be used to insert (print) data directly in the Editor at the cursor position. <> ProTERM always executes global Macro @@1 on startup. It then checks for a Macro file called PT3.STARTUP or a system entry called PTD.STARTUP. As before, an application can also pass in the name of a Macro file or system entry via the PT3.SYSTEM program. <> The Macro MIdstring command now supports a length parameter. <> There is now a JSr Macro command which can be used to call assembly language code. One potential use is to allow flow control to be enabled and disabled directly from a Macro. <> DO command parameter processing has been improved so that it is now possible to write a Macro which will work in Install. <> The MEm Macro command now accepts a hex string of data as a compact way to specify the contents of continuous memory locations. Ex: MEm 30,"a9904c0034" <> Larger Macro files are now supported. <> There are new and functions which return the name and phone number of the current system. <> The SEMICOLON is now used as a comment character. It signifies comments than extend from the SEMICOLON to the end of the line. Large blocks of text can be commented out when placed between ASTERISKS. <> The DO command now allows duplicate label names to be accessed. <> Full 64 character filenames can be passed to dialogs via the DO command (3.0 had a 40 character limit). Scrollback """""""""" <> The Find/Replace strings in the Scrollback are now saved between entry/exit of the Scrollback (and the Editor). <> Scrollback now has a label in the MenuBar. <> When you exit & re-enter Scrollback, your position (line and column) is saved and restored (this is also true in the Editor). When the contents of Scrollback are changed (via data coming into terminal mode), the position is reset to the end of the file. <> Upon entry to Scrollback .5K is no longer added to the status bar display. <> The Find-Next command in Scrollback is now COMMAND-G instead of COMMAND-N to maintain consistency with the Editor and Macintosh conventions. <> The search string/parms used with Find-Next are now saved between uses of Scrollback (but not between program runs). <> When an old Scrollback file is opened, its contents can be appended to the end of the current Scrollback data. <> Scrollback files can be appended to an existing Scrollback file. Send & Receive """""""""""""" <> Paste-to-Modem now has better pacing. When it sends a RETURN character, it uses the line delay parameter for the current system entry. <> Ymodem and Zmodem both send filenames in lower case in consideration of Unix based hosts and the like. <> Protocol transfer estimated time values have been recalculated making them more accurate. <> The status bar now displays the exact line rate at which the modem is connected. This includes 12000, 14400 and 16800. In addition, ASCII Send and protocol transfer timings are based on this value. <> The protocol CPS calculation has been improved so that it more accurately reflects the actual transfer throughput. <> There is now control over the Zmodem Send window size via a Macro variable. <> Global Macros @@5/@@6 are now automatically executed after every protocol transfer to perform user-defined operations. (INTREC, CAT24, TOP6, MSG:1/M645) ProTERM 3.1 FEATURES - GENERAL """""""""""""""""""""""""""""" <> Full Dialing List with many changeable parameters for each system including: Name, Phone Number, Baud Rate, Data Format, Duplex, Flow Control, Emulation, Per Min/Hour Cost, Backspace, System Macros and many others. <> General System Support - - Baud Rate Support: 110 to 19200, (38400 and 57,600 with Apple IIGS modem port). - Data Format Support: 7E1, 7O1, 8N1, 8N2, 7E2 & 7O2. - Duplex: Full/Half. - Flow Control: Software or Hardware. <> Scrollback saves all incoming text as it scrolls off the screen so that it may be later read, searched, printed, saved, clipped or edited while on or offline. Save long distance costs and access charges by doing your work offline. <> Auto-Start Protocols allow hands-off download operations. Simply tell the remote host system to start sending files via Zmodem or Kermit and ProTERM detects the start of the transfer and begins receiving the data without user intervention. <> AutoLearn Macros allow automatic logon without user intervention. Call a host once in AutoLearn mode and with a keystroke, subsequent logons are automatic and effortless. <> Full utilization of ProDOS compatible clocks to display date & time, time connected, connect costs and protocol performance. Connect costs can be displayed in real time and/or saved for later reference. <> ProTERM's full word processor supports both text and AppleWorks files. Create text documents offline then: Save, Print or Send text (either all or selected text) directly to a remote host system from the Editor. Special "filters" perform case, paragraph and reply conversion. Use character oriented selection to Cut and Paste within documents. Upload documents directly from the Editor to a remote host. Paste Scrollback text directly to the ProTERM Editor and then edit, print or upload your reply to any host. <> Editor Reply Feature allows included text to be prefixed by custom reference markers. <> Screen "snapshots" can be sent to the printer from anywhere within ProTERM. <> Sophisticated Terminal Emulations: ANSI-BBS, ADDS, ADM-3A/5, TeleVideo 910 & 910+, H19, VT-52, VT-100, ProTERM Special Emulation, Split Screen Chat, Pascal Firmware and Control Show allows easy access to small BBSystems as well as large mainframes. <> Split-Screen Chat allows real-time conferencing without confusing text mix-up. Log on in normal mode and then toggle in and out of split-screen mode with a single keypress. <> Control Show Emulation displays all incoming data in a visible format including control and high-bit characters. <> Emulate File feature allows files containing emulation codes to be viewed while offline. Use the keyboard to adjust the display speed. View ProTERM Special Emulation files at any speed without line noise problems. <> Complete formatting control using Dot Commands. Documents are impressive and easier to read when formatted with text justification, precise margin control, page numbering, headers, footers and more. ASCII uploads of documents with custom "on-the-fly" formatting is easy and enjoyable. <> Print Preview allows documents formatted with Dot Commands to be viewed in their final form "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) before they are printed or uploaded. <> Easy File Transfers using the latest selection of protocols available for the Apple II, including: Xmodem/Ymodem (4K option), Zmodem and Kermit. Supports both file and batch modes, "on-the-fly" Binary II encoding & decoding and Zmodem Resume/CRC-32. <> Preference Window allows customization of many program parameters, protocol options and commonly used pathnames. <> ProTERM's Screen Saver activates automatically and darkens the screen after one to thirty minutes of non-activity. <> Programmable Delete key allows the Delete key to function as desired for each individual system. <> Copies easily to any disk media. ProTERM is ProDOS based and not copy protected. <> Full keyboard support, extended keyboards and/or mouse devices. Emulating terminals with function keys is a snap when using extended keyboards. <> Unattended Operation allows secure remote access to your computer. Password protection keeps you in control as guests call your computer and exchange files. <> Incoming data can be routed to the printer, Editor or saved to a file. Either "raw" data (with all the emulation codes intact) or processed lines (which look like the display) can be saved. <> HotKeys feature can be turned on allowing single keystroke commands. <> Easy File Selection System allows files to be selected quickly with a minimum of keystrokes. Alphabetized files in directories are easy to find. Typing the first few characters finds files automatically. Novice users can easily navigate through ProDOS directories using ProTERM. <> Complete disk utilities include: Copy, Delete, and Rename Files or directories. Catalog, Print Files, View Files, Set File Info, Create Directories and Format Disks. Set File Info allows filetypes to be changed, making it easy to work with files from non-Apple hosts. <> Protocol Transfer Status window shows: - Current transfer progress - Estimated transfer time - Percent completed - Protocol options - Current status - Number of files remaining to send. <> After a transfer is complete, a protocol statistics window can show: - Number of files transferred - Total size of the transfer - Transfer termination status. Systems with a clock show: - Start & end time, and characters per second/minute. <> ProTERM memory management utilizes all available system memory (even "Slinky" style RAM cards) to support separate Editor, Transfer, Code-Cache and Scrollback buffers.

PROTERM 3.1 Again -- ProTERM improves to meet """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" current needs! The winner of two Awards of Excellence for "Best Apple II Software" just got better! Author Greg Schaefer released ProTERM 1.0 in the late 1980's and subsequent updates through 2.1 gave ProTERM users what they asked for. InSync Software, Inc. published an improved ProTERM 2.2 in Spring 1990, and after eighteen months of intense development, ProTERM 3.0 was born in late 1991. ProTERM provides Apple II computer users with current and state of the art telecommunications. Completely redesigned and written "from-scratch," version 3.0 was a demonstration of extraordinary engineering combining incredible new features, while maintaining the best of all previous versions. Meeting the challenge of current technology, a new improved ProTERM 3.1 was released in Spring of '93. NOTE: To insure a stronger tradename protection, InSync Software, Inc., changed its name to InTrec Software, Inc. in early '93. The update package includes: <> ProTERM 3.1 on 3.5 and a 5.25 disks. <> New 430 page user manual.
