|

40 any use for my rabbity skills at the moment. Mayhap, yes. It just might
|
||
41 work out anyway. I have been working on my computer devising a story
|
||
42 plot that would fit my character. I could get all the other characters
|
||
43 made up, yeah. "The Quest for the Darkherb." Hmmm....weyry interesting
|
||
44 idea. Does it sound okay to you? I seem to have a distinct knack for
|
||
45 writing stories that no one seems to enjoy, and therefore make enemies
|
||
46 with my entries. This is something I don't want to do, and I wish that
|
||
47 the good citizens of Inisfall could forgive and possibly forget. M
|
||
48 "Quest for the Darkherb." Sounds good, do you like the title?? You

49 seem to be an experienced writer, way aboe me in writing skill,. But

63 dan: quite true - T means Tone, normally following D, for dial, normally
|

64 following AT, for attention. The point was that the terminal program in
|

65 question has a setting for Tone, Pulse, or modem default. It was set to Tone,
|
||
66 but the T in the dial command still seemed to be required.

95 I had gotten all my screens mapped and all I had to do was color them.
|
||
96 After 3 days I had everything in multi color and the subroutines for
|
||
97 drawing the screens were done. Now I started making the figures for the
|
||
98 treasures. It took me awile to make them but I finely got it done. Now I
|
||
99 had to make the main program.
|
||
100 What I had to do befor I could program it in was learn to use the
|
||
101
|
||
102 kernal routine SAVE. I tried it but it didn'd work. I checked all my work
|
||
103 and tried it again but it still didn't work.

109 working correctly. New punter transfer section not tested yet. Oh, by the

110 way, the terminal is now ML (not a 5-line BASIC loop), eliminating the quite

111 fustrating garbage collection. Portions of the code are from MEBterm, some

119 Yes, it was true! Sir Ben of Fish was still alive! Yes, it's true that he is
|
||
120 still on the trail of the evil Jeffslime! Yes, it's true that life has no
|

121 purpose! Yes, it's true that Wyoming bakes the most pancakes every year! Yes,
|
||
122 it's true that I don't know why I'm writing this or how to end it...
|
||
123 The valiant Sir Ben got on his trusty steed, Rustbucket II, and once again went
|
||
124 after the evil Jeffslime. The immortal creature which had slashed the King's
|
||
125 credit rating just last year.
|
||
126 He urged his mule onward. "Onward" he urged. Rustbucket II sped off at a
|
||
127 lightning rate of 5 mph. In no time they had caught up with the Jeffslime. As
|
||
128 they neared it, the slime creature turned around. It was an ugly sight to
|
||
129 behold. The Jeffslime had been wounded in one of their earlier battles and
|
||
130 there was dried blood all over his computer keyboard and modem.
|
||
131 He laughed maniacally (sp?) at Sir Ben, and screamed, "Aaauugghh!!"
|
||
132 Sir Ben trembled at the sound. It was incredible, but his knees did not

136 I turned, leaving the memory of future quests in the back of my
|
||
137 rabbity mind. If therse people didn't want a rabbit around, that was all
|
||
138 fine and right with me. I fished through the little bag concealed by
|
||
139 my fur and retrieved a truffle. Popping the little rare mushroom into
|
||
140 my mouth, I entered Inisfall, as the tasty little juices from the truffle
|
||
141 trickled down my throat. I managed a samall and weak smile as I hopped
|
||
142 up onto my faritvorite table and curled pup to sleep as the sun set down
|
||
143 from the grey and black sky (Rabbits are colorblind, you know. It should
|
||
144 be "Red and purple sky") and the little animals returned to their homes.
|
||
145 I slept, my mind filling with thought after thought about the wonderful
|
||
146 device that was known as thee Pell-Mell. My little whiskers twitched as
|
||
147 I slept, for now I was dreaming of the Scarlett Lion, brandishing a knife
|
||
148 and hacking away at my brothern. My mind raced, my heart beat faster as
|
||
149 my nose and whiskers began to twitch uncontollably in irritation.
|
||
150 Sleep was not going to come easy for me tonight, but itt would come.

159 An interesting question raised its ugly head on the last disk. How does one
|
||
160 use this system at 300 baud? My particular answer is this: Set MEX to download
|
||
161 then start the system outputting. Go away. Wait for a few minutes. Eventually
|
||
162 the output stops, write file to disk. Hang up. Read file on Wordstar. The
|
||
163 benefit is that I can read as fast as I am capable (900 baud equiv.) and
|
||
164 skip the boring parts. If I entered a lot of messages, I might compose them
|
||
165 on the WP, then upload them.

168 ????? The Doctor ?????
|
||
169 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||
170 The Doctor quickly glanced at the monitor while searching for the travel packs
|
||
171 stored in the TARDIS, something particularly difficult if you haven't had a
|
||
172 lot of practice. Grann was gaping helplessly at the monitor, eyeing the dozen
|
||
173 or so Republic Guards that had casually walked into the barn. I tried to think
|
||
174 of an easy way out of the situation.
|
||
175 No ideas came, at least at first. The Doctor was mumbling, "...toothbrush...
|
||
176 three pairs of socks...portable chess set...sonic screwdriver..." as he packed
|
||
177 the last TP. "Now where is that spacetime ripple detector? I never can find
|
||
178 that thing. It always seems to jump up and hide from me."
|
||
179 Hide? The Doctor had an idea, but forgot to yell "Eureka!". Hide! If those
|
||
180 guards weren't looking for the TARDIS specifically, then perhaps we could
|
||
181 escape their notice long enough for them to conclude their business in the
|
||
182 barn, whatever it was. Obscuration magic. I ran down a list of such spells
|
||
183 in my mind, looking for the one most suitable for the situation.
|
||
184 Shadow magic. That would work. There are enough shadows in the barn.
|
||
185 "Yeltaw Rebfem, Uspovi Edaghindaltu!" I whispered, hoping that none of the
|
||
186 guards had spotted the TARDIS as I had thought of a spell to use.
|
||
187 It seemed that none had. If they had been looking in the right direction,
|
||
188 they might have seen a blue box, about 2.5 meters tall, fade slowly into the
|
||
189 surrounding shadows. The guards instead had taken several digging implements,
|
||
190 then left. Emergency over.
|
||
191 I turned back to the Doctor. "...under the console, maybe? No? Grann, have
|
||
192 you seen the ripple detector? It looks rather like... well, a pocket radio.
|
||
193 What? You've never seen a pocket radio? Well, they look just like this
|
||
194 thing, here." The Doctor pointed to the ripple detector that he had left
|
||
195 sitting on the console. "I'm not sure where it is, but I'll find it, soon
|
||
196 enough. Help me look for it."
|
||
197 Grann looked at the Doctor, then at me. I smiled at him faintly, then gestured
|
||
198 him to pick it up. He did, then held it out silently as the Doctor hunted
|
||
199 about the rest of the control room.
|
||
200 "Not here...or here. Where....? Grann, any luck y-" He stopped, and stared
|
||
201 at the small device that Grann held.
|
||
202 "You seem to have a knack for finding things, Grann. I'd love to be able to
|
||
203 find whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Things just seem to jump out of my
|
||
204 way when I want them."
|
||
205 We smiled knowingly at each other, then grasped our packs as we explained to
|
||
206 the Doctor what had happened. "We must depart, and lock the TARDIS behind us.
|
||
207 Our destination is somewhere nearby, but it will not come to us; we must go to
|
||
208 it."
|
||
209 We left the TARDIS, and carefully made our way out of the barn. The harsh
|
||
210 sunlight struck our eyes painfully. The wind stirred the planted corn in a
|
||
211 nearby field; the rustling almost, but not quite, drowned out mumbling from
|
||
212 the Doctor: "...on the console?"

225 Zephyr -- Please don't miss the point. The reason folks are irritated is
|
||
226 not due to your writing (it seems quite capable to me) but due to your making
|
||
227 major decisions for other characters. Perhaps in another clime you worked
|
||
228 at a story where the authors allowed others to manipulate their characters
|
||
229 to a greater degree than we here do -- however, as a mutual defense, we
|
||
230 cannot relinquish the control of our characters under normal circumstances.
|

231 Remember, this is an open board. No checking is done, and for most of

235 The piper was sitting on the floor of the machine holding his throbbing
|
||
236 head. The major reality shifts seemed to have subsided and he had attention
|
||
237 to spare only for his internal troubles. This was perhaps the most difficult
|
||
238 part of an adventure -- the adjustment period while the team learned to work
|
||
239 together. With as fiercely independent a group as Trainor had gathered,
|
||
240 this learning period could be quite trying.
|
||
241 Heaving a sigh, the piper rummaged in his sporran. There it was -- now
|
||
242 was this medicinal or non-medicinal? Irritated, he put the bottle back and
|
||
243 pulled out an identical container. Smiling the piper removed the cap,
|
||
244 placed the bottle of medicinal scotch whiskey to his lips and carefully
|
||
245 counted four swallows.

302 A DAY OFF
|
||
303 So you want the day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for.
|
||
304 There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per
|
||
305 year in which you already have two days off per week, leaving 261 days
|
||
306 available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you
|
||
307 have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30
|
||
308 minutes each day on coffee break that accounts for 23 days each year,
|
||
309 leaving only 68 days available. With a one hour lunch period each day, you
|
||
310 have used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work.
|
||
311 You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20
|
||
312 days available for work. We are off for 5 holidays per year, so your
|
||
313 available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give you 14 days
|
||
314 vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be
|
||
315 damned if you're going to take that day off!!!

344 "Taking 2 months off". Maybe the

345 rest of you more civilized computer

351 ( I'm continuing my old story)
|
||
352
|
||
353 I was trying to find a way to
|
||
354
|
||
355 earn money for my spaceship when my
|
||
356 buddy called me up. As we was talking,
|
||
357 I asked if he had any ideas on how
|
||
358 to earn money.( Texas style "I'm
|
||
359 reffering to oil"). He said all he
|
||
360 could think of for a kid of my age
|
||
361 was paper delivering. I thought about
|
||
362 it for awile and decided to give it a
|
||
363 try.
|
||
364 I called the Oregonian and asked
|
||
365 if they had any paper routs that I
|
||
366 could do and they said they didn't
|
||
367 but would call me if any came up. up.
|
||
368 I wasn't in to much of a mind for
|
||
369 waiting so I just continued my work.

|
||
374 Neohama -- Just a few suggestions for you.
|
||
375 1. Most folks that use this system use 80 col displays. Your 40
|
||
376 entries are quite wasteful of disk space. Better yet, (if you don't care
|
||
377 how you look to the 80 col. folks) use 120 cols for your entries and cut
|
||
378 your disk usage to 1/3 of what you are now taking up.
|
||
379 2. Please refrain from using control characters in your messages. Some of
|
||
380 us use them differently from the C-64. (On my terminal, for example, it
|
||
381 can put the terminal into graphics mode -- the terminal then scrawls lines
|
||
382 around until I change it back. Other folks have machines that do other
|
||
383 things.) To combat this, I use the "CC n" command. It makes some of the
|
||
384 things some folks (not necessarily you -- try it sometime) look quite silly.
|
||
385 3. Appeals for "awsm' C/64 users" are more likely to be productive on one
|
||
386 of the many boards run by and for them.
|
||
387 I'm not trying to put you down, just trying to suggest that energy spent
|
||
388 on reaching a wider audience might be very well spent.
|
||
389 good luck

||
390 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
||
391 ntpntpntpntpnntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntpntp
|
||
392 4. Also the use of six lines per message just for boarder is a bit excessive.
|
||
393 5. The phrase "awsm' C/64 user" is a contradiction in terms.

412 mine, all mine! I just couldn't hold back the excitment, my hands are
|

413 shaking so badly I don't think I'll be able to control myself, I must get
|
||
414 those steak nives! Mine, they must be mine! Ever since the day I ordered
|
||
415 them I have been waiting for this moment when the UPS truck would pull up
|
||
416 to my door! MY DOOR! And here it comes, comming up the street I can see it
|
||
417 now. Just a few more moments, I think I'll go outside - save the driver the
|
||
418 trouble of comming to the door.... ..Standing in the middle of the street
|

419 I can see my nives in the front window of the truck, getting closer and closer!

434 ---------------------------jusp waiting--
|

435 No, we shouldn't really call you "been" dip, because that would tend to imply
|

436 that you are no longer a dip. How about "being" a. dip? Sigh, and the disk

449 L'homme: While rummaging through my files, I ran across a file marked

450 LNW80, in it I found: 1.) manual labeled LNW-CP/M operating system.
|
||
451 2.) pages 74 - 88 of LNW owners manual. 3.) pages 36-40 of an unlabeled
|
||
452 section of an LNW manual refering to the serial port.
|
||
453 If any of this is of interest to you, I'd be glad to let you have copies
|
||
454 of it. P.S. in the file there is a reference to a R. Brooks of RCA corp.
|
||
455 Hanover, MD 21076 who apparently knows something about
|
||
456 the LNW. I believe the information came from him.
