_____________________________________
|
|
Welcome to another edition of Zmag.
|
|
|
|
CompuServe readers were out of luck
|
|
last week with Issue #62. Due to
|
|
a copyright notice in the Atari News
|
|
column, CompuServe could not allow
|
|
us to post it. We even asked Mr.
|
|
Niel Harris for the official response
|
|
about the matter, and we were told
|
|
that we could not upload the text
|
|
to CompuServe because the article
|
|
stated for use by GEnie members, etc.
|
|
|
|
In the future, I will try to get the
|
|
information from other sources if
|
|
possible to avoid this problem.
|
|
|
|
Since ISSUE #50, we have been
|
|
encountering many problems. From the
|
|
ST-Transformer articles, to the
|
|
GEnie Services sign-on information,
|
|
on to the Analog Copyright notice,
|
|
and now another with Atari's copy-
|
|
right on their news.
|
|
|
|
We are obviously getting on the
|
|
nerves of some of our readers!! We
|
|
will continue to bring what we can
|
|
without causing trouble. Although
|
|
I thought we were following the
|
|
rules fairly well to date.
|
|
|
|
A few new features will be appearing
|
|
here in the weeks ahead.
|
|
|
|
<*> A weekly Editorial about Atari,
|
|
User Groups, Magazines, BBS Systems,
|
|
and whatever else I can sink my
|
|
teeth in.
|
|
|
|
<*> An OASIS BBS Support Column.
|
|
|
|
<*> Hard Disk Users Group Column.
|
|
|
|
<*> Calamity Jane's Column, (This
|
|
will most likely have an official
|
|
title at a later date).

the systems carrying Zmag each week.
|
|
|
|
<*> Editorial Reply for our readers.
|
|
|
|
along with a few more still being
|
|
discussed.
|
|
|
|
This leads us to ISSUE #59 and the
|
|
copyright violation. Leo Newman,
|
|
(HELP BBS and OASIS BBS Support)
|
|
sent in an article in response to
|
|
the information I published last
|
|
week on the violation. His article
|
|
will detail some of the problems
|
|
myself and BBS sysops encounter when
|
|
receiving information for
|
|
consideration.
|
|
|
|
Stay tuned to ZMag for more details.

Daisy Dot
|
|
Near Letter Quality Emulation for
|
|
Star and Epson Printers
|
|
|
|
By Warren Lieuallen
|
|
(Reprinted from Fuji Facts)
|
|
|
|
I have had my Star SG-10 for nearly
|
|
two years now, and am still very
|
|
happy with it. It is a full-featured
|
|
dot matrix printer, and performs
|
|
every task I have requested of it. It
|
|
even has a good quality near letter
|
|
quality (NLQ) mode. Unfortunately,
|
|
the NLQ character set is, in my
|
|
opinion, -funny looking-. I've always
|
|
wished there was something I could do
|
|
about it. Well, now there is.
|
|
|
|
Available from CompuServe and GEnie,
|
|
Daisy Dot is a program written by Roy
|
|
Goldman of Denver. Daisy Dot is
|
|
written in compiled Turbo BASIC (also
|
|
available in the ACEC Disk Library),
|
|
which means that it will only work on
|
|
the XL and XE models. It currently
|
|
supports the Star Micronics and Epson
|
|
printers. Most -Epson-compatible-
|
|
printers will probably work as well.
|
|
|
|
Daisy Dot allows you to print any
|
|
ASCII/ATASCII file, using the
|
|
traditional -double pass- NLQ
|
|
printing approach. This means that
|
|
the printer will print a line of
|
|
characters, then advance the paper a
|
|
very small amount (1/144th of an
|
|
inch), and print the line again,
|
|
filling any gaps in the printed
|
|
characters. The approach Daisy Dot
|
|
takes differs however, in that the
|
|
NLQ character set is not the one
|
|
originally supplied with your
|
|
printer, but one of your own
|
|
choosing!
|
|
|
|
This program includes both the main
|
|
file printing program, as well as a
|
|
font editor, for creating your own
|
|
custom character sets. Printing a
|
|
file is very straightforward. The
|
|
program prompts you for the font you
|
|
would like to use (Daisy Dot is
|
|
supplied with five different fonts.
|
|
You can add on as many as you'd
|
|
like.), and then the file you'd like
|
|
to print. You are then asked what
|
|
density you would like to print (four
|
|
are supported), which will control
|
|
not only the resolution, but also the
|
|
number of possible columns on the
|
|
page. Finally, you must decide how
|
|
much space to leave between
|
|
characters. Daisy Dot fonts are
|
|
proportionally spaced (an -m- is much
|
|
wider than an -i-), and can have from
|
|
0 to 20 columns of space between
|
|
them. Following any necessary disk
|
|
swapping, printing then proceeds.
|
|
|
|
The file that you are going to print
|
|
must be properly formatted, however.
|
|
A standard file saved with a word
|
|
processor will not work. Instead,
|
|
after saving the file, you must also
|
|
-print- it to disk (thereby creating
|
|
an ATASCII file with no printer
|
|
control codes). Both PaperClip and
|
|
AtariWriter Plus have this feature
|
|
(the original AtariWriter does not,
|
|
but this can be corrected with the
|
|
ATWFMT program from the ACEC Disk
|
|
Library). It is this -printed- text
|
|
file that Daisy Dot will actually
|
|
print.
|
|
|
|
The font editor that is supplied is
|
|
similar to many of the other Atari
|
|
character set editors, in that by
|
|
using the joystick, you draw each
|
|
character on a grid on the screen.
|
|
This editor is somewhat limited: you
|
|
cannot see the character set on the
|
|
screen, and many of the more
|
|
sophisticated commands for moving
|
|
columns and rows are missing.
|
|
Nonetheless, it is quite adequate,
|
|
especially considering that very few
|
|
people will actually be creating a
|
|
new character set. More likely, this
|
|
editor will be used to slightly
|
|
modify certain characters that you
|
|
happen to think you can make better.
|
|
|
|
As an enhancement to the editor, an
|
|
Atari character set conversion
|
|
program is also available. Many of
|
|
you are familiar with the custom
|
|
character sets available for the
|
|
Atari (the common, nine sector .FNT
|
|
files). These files may now be
|
|
converted into NLQ Daisy Dot fonts.
|
|
Once this is done, they usually
|
|
require some editing, as Daisy Dot is
|
|
capable of better resolution than the
|
|
9x9 Atari character matrix.
|
|
|
|
A separate version of the program is
|
|
available for the Star SG-10, to
|
|
compensate for the non-standard line
|
|
spacing on this printer. The methods
|
|
used to compensate for this
|
|
difference are invisible to the user,
|
|
and you can select to cancel them if
|
|
you wish.
|
|
|
|
Thorough documentation is included
|
|
with the programs, even though it
|
|
really isn't needed. Both the
|
|
printing and font editor programs are
|
|
menu-driven, and are as easy to use
|
|
as The Print Shop. These programs
|
|
were very well thought-out and
|
|
designed, and Mr. Goldman is to be
|
|
congratulated.
|
|
|
|
In short, if you have a Star or Epson
|
|
printer, you should have Daisy Dot.
|
|
This elegant and powerful program
|
|
expands the capabilities of your
|
|
printer, and will allow you to easily
|
|
produce very good quality output.

Xx NOTICE OF COPYRIGHT VIOLATION
|
|
....Reply to Clay Walnum....
|
|
_____________________________________

By: Leo Newman
|
|
|
|
Copyrighted Text
|
|
|
|
In reference to the recent copyright
|
|
violation I would like to apologize
|
|
to both ZMAG and Analog Magazine. It
|
|
was never my intention to have a text
|
|
file posted on my BBS that infringed
|
|
on anyone's copyright. Since I run a
|
|
purely Public Domain BBS much to the
|
|
dismay of pirates in my area I have
|
|
always supported all copyrights on my
|
|
BBS and will continue to do so in the
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
I would like to point out to Mr.
|
|
Walnum that myself like most SysOps
|
|
have various text files uploaded to
|
|
our boards as well as numerous
|
|
programs. I have always in the past
|
|
checked all software thoroughly to
|
|
see if it is copyrighted software of
|
|
a commercial type, if this is the
|
|
case I never post the program on my
|
|
board and will never as long as it is
|
|
possible for me to determine if it is
|
|
pirated software. As for text files
|
|
that brings up another point however.
|
|
|
|
Seldom does anyone who has captured
|
|
or typed in text articles ever
|
|
include any type of copyright notice.
|
|
Since I have no way of knowing which
|
|
articles are copyrighted it is highly
|
|
possible to inadvertently post a text
|
|
file which is copyrighted.
|
|
|
|
Of course even at this fact it is
|
|
still not my intention to post any
|
|
copyrighted text file which will
|
|
infringe on copyrights. I have
|
|
always been a big supporter of Analog
|
|
magazine because of it's policy of
|
|
releasing the programs to the Public
|
|
in the month that the magazine was
|
|
printed for. I have even gone to the
|
|
extreme of writing articles which
|
|
have been published in newsletters,
|
|
W*ACE of Wichita, Ks and ACE of
|
|
Eugene, Or just to mention two. These
|
|
articles dealt with supporting Analog
|
|
magazine and criticizing ANTIC
|
|
magazine because of it's software
|
|
copyright policy.
|
|
|
|
While I do feel that Mr. Walnum does
|
|
have a right to protect his
|
|
copyrighted text, I feel that Analog
|
|
magazine and Mr. Walnum could have
|
|
handled the situation better. In
|
|
doing so they would not have
|
|
embarrassed publicly the Editors of
|
|
ZMAG, specially since the article in
|
|
question was not posted intentionally
|
|
to infringe on their copyright. I
|
|
doubt you will find very many sysops
|
|
who have enough time or a large
|
|
enough library of magazine to
|
|
validate each and every article which
|
|
is uploaded to them for copyright
|
|
infringement. I would think that
|
|
should this happen again, and I am
|
|
sure that it will, I would think that
|
|
Mr. Walnum and Analog should simply
|
|
advise ZMAG of infringement if it did
|
|
infringe on their text. And that they
|
|
should contact the BBS in question
|
|
which in this case was mine, and tell
|
|
them that the text file was a
|
|
copyrighted file.
|
|
|
|
If I had known the file was a text
|
|
file from the magazine itself I would
|
|
not have posted it on my board,
|
|
simple as that. I have in the past
|
|
always tried to make sure I did not
|
|
post ANTIC programs on my board
|
|
because of their copyright policy.
|
|
Now I am in the process of removing
|
|
all Analog software from my board. I
|
|
will no longer post their programs or
|
|
promote their magazine on my system.
|
|
This is not done in retaliation to
|
|
the above problem, but more so to
|
|
protect myself from any future change
|
|
of heart by Analog in regards to
|
|
their software.
|
|
|
|
I am a software producer myself, as
|
|
many of you may know, the Oasis BBS
|
|
System. I would like to point out to
|
|
Mr. Walnum that this software product
|
|
even though currently one of the most
|
|
popular BBS programs for the 8-bit
|
|
Atari, has not been reviewed in his
|
|
magazine nor in Antic. I am not now
|
|
nor will I ever be an advertiser in
|
|
either magazine, mainly because
|
|
unlike my competition I do not charge
|
|
$40 or $70 for the software, only
|
|
$15.00 which I am sure Mr. Walnum
|
|
would realize could not support the
|
|
advertising cost of his magazine.
|
|
|
|
Even though, I will not advertise
|
|
because of cost, I feel that Analog
|
|
and ANTIC both owe me the courtesy of
|
|
reviewing the software in their
|
|
magazines. Something that ZMAG has
|
|
done on 2 different occasions. As
|
|
well as reviews in numerous user
|
|
group newsletters.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Walnum again, my apologizes for
|
|
any problem that it may have caused
|
|
for that article being posted on my
|
|
BBS, the HELP BBS in Wichita, Ks.
|
|
(316)-683-7514. I can only say I
|
|
will attempt to be more selective in
|
|
the text files which I post on my
|
|
board.

PMU (PM Utility) is fully GEM based
|
|
and works in either monochrome or
|
|
medium resolution. 512K ram and TOS
|
|
in ROM is required.
|
|
|
|
All of the functions are logically
|
|
implemented and make use of the GEM
|
|
interface. One of the features I like
|
|
is the heavy use of safeguards to
|
|
protect the picture libraries.
|
|
Another handy feature is the checking
|
|
of free disk space BEFORE an
|
|
operation. This helps to ensure that
|
|
saving your work is possible. While
|
|
it is not fool-proof, it is a handy
|
|
feature.
|
|
|
|
Toolbox Software is apparently a
|
|
Home-grown type software package. The
|
|
author, Marcos Zorola, sells the
|
|
software by mail. For $13 its a
|
|
bargain. A demo of this program can
|
|
be found on the Download section of
|
|
GEnie's Atari ST sig.

Trying to think of a title for a
|
|
column in ZMAG is quite difficult.
|
|
You don't want to sound like a
|
|
genius, but you also want to try to
|
|
get the intent of the column over.
|
|
Also contributing to the title for
|
|
this new weekly column for ZMAG is
|
|
the fact that I live in Kansas, the
|
|
Land of Oz, thus the name the Wizard
|
|
of Oasis.
|
|
|
|
Let me take just a second to let you
|
|
know who you are reading. My name is
|
|
Leo Newman, and I am one of 3 people
|
|
who are responsible for bringing you
|
|
the Oasis BBS System. We are not a
|
|
big time software house turning out
|
|
several products, we have
|
|
concentrated our effort into one
|
|
single product and by doing so we
|
|
hope we can provide user support not
|
|
previously seen.
|
|
|
|
The editor of ZMAG called my board
|
|
and asked that I do a weekly column
|
|
for ZMAG, to answer questions you may
|
|
have about the software. I don't
|
|
want this column to get into a
|
|
technical forem, but it's main
|
|
purpose is to answer your questions
|
|
about the software. I will also try
|
|
to supply some additional input each
|
|
week for SysOps who are running the
|
|
software, information that is not
|
|
documented.
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions about
|
|
whether the Oasis BBS System would be
|
|
compatible with your hardware you can
|
|
either call the HELP BBS at
|
|
(316)-683-7514, 300/1200/2400 baud,
|
|
24 hour and leave them in a message
|

Your questions will be answered in
|
|
this column on ZMAG! This will give
|
|
me the opportunity to reply to those
|
|
who have or will write asking
|
|
specific questions about their
|
|
hardware or system. Because of the
|
|
low cost of the Oasis as previously
|
|
stated in another article in ZMAG I
|
|
can not afford to reply to each
|
|
person on an individual basis, the
|
|
software is on $15.00 and that
|
|
doesn't give much room for added
|
|
expenses.
|
|
|
|
While I have your limited attention,
|
|
let me make one statement right now.
|
|
I am continually asked one question,
|
|
-will a non HC Avatex modem work with
|
|
Oasis?- have to give you my
|
|
standard answer, -yes Oasis will work
|
|
with the Avatex 1200 modem, however I
|
|
am going to supply you with a DOC
|
|
file explaining a modification that
|
|
should be done to the Avatex 1200
|
|
modem.- I usually try to continue
|
|
and explain that I have in the past
|
|
contacted E+E about the Avatex 1200
|
|
modem. Their response is always the
|
|
same, -the Avatex 1200 was designed
|
|
as an industrial terminal modem, it
|
|
was not designed to be a HOST modem
|
|
for running a bulletin board.- What
|
|
this simply means to you is that you
|
|
are using a modem that was not
|
|
intended to run a BBS, thus they have
|
|
left features out of the modem which
|
|
are necessary and sometimes critical.
|
|
|
|
The Oasis will work with it, as well
|
|
as any BBS program, and that is not
|
|
going to be perfect.
|
|
|
|
Do yourself a favor! You can buy a
|
|
SmarTEAM 1200 for about $135.00 to
|
|
$150.00 or you can buy an Avatex 1200
|
|
HC for around $125.00. These modems
|
|
are truely Hayes compatibles and will
|
|
give you years of service. Sell the
|
|
Avatex 1200 or use it as a terminal
|
|
modem for which it was designed.
|
|
|
|
Another commonly asked question is
|
|
will it work with the MIO or P:R
|
|
Connection. Yes it will work with
|
|
both interfaces, I will also tell you
|
|
that since the P:R Connection is not
|
|
100% 850 compatible you will have to
|
|
use the PRC.SYS file supplied on the
|
|
disk that came with your P:R in your
|
|
batch file when you boot your system.
|
|
The MIO will give you no problems at
|
|
all with the BBS even though ICD
|
|
states that certain modems will NOT
|
|
work with the MIO, so check with ICD
|
|
to see if your modem is compatible
|
|
with an MIO.
|
|
|
|
Until next week

|
|
|
Since we are very behind at this,

|
|
patient while I try to bring order
|
|
to the system.

|
re-publishing all the systems who
