Unlocked and Unprotected FREE to Beagle Bros Customers eagle Bros Bulletin Volume 0, Number 4 Established $7BC DECEMBER 1983 DISKQUIK CUTS DIS Half a Drive at 1/10th the Price! DISKQUIK, Beagle Bros’ new disk drive emulator, was written by Gene Hite and Harry Bruce of Cincinnati. They have tricked the Apple Ile into thinking a super-high-speed auxil- ijary disk drive is connected to Slot 3. Extensive testing by our Extensive Testing Department has revealed these “drives” to be nothing more than Extended 80-Column Cards pow- ered by DiskQuik in RAM. DiskQuik requires an Apple Ile plus an Extended 80-Column Card. Enjoy the benefits of a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th...) drive at less than 1/10th the price. More on page 7. BEAGLE GETS GPLE It seems we were supporting Syner- gistic’s Global Program Line Editor as much or more than they were, so ‘we got together, and now Beagle Bros is the sole publisher of Neil Konzen’s wondrous Basic line editor. GPLE now supports most 80-col- umn hardware, including the Apple Ile. It is compatible with Double- Take, ProntoDOS and all Beagle Bros disks. And to top it off, we've added an Apple Tip Book (#7) and lowered the price from $64.95 to $49.95. GPLE is described on page 11. BLEU CHEESE OR $03E8-ISLAND? Well, we were going to call SILICON SALAD “Tip Disk #2”, but we added so many features and new utilities, we decided it needed a name of its own. Mark Simonsen & Bert Kersey dug through their incredible pile of programs andutili- ties and came up with a package that you're going to like. Also “tossed in” are some new Two-Liners:and tips and syent from Tip Books 5, 6 and 7. Check it all out on page 12... DRIVE COSTS 90% UNIVERSAL INTERFACE ah —— reff SSEMERGENCY CRANK MICRO-SPEED ADJUSTMENT Utility-10 Report Softalk calls it the “Hobby-10”; we call it the Utility-10. By any name, this list reports the top-sellers every month in the Apple II UTILITY disk category. At Beagle Bros, we like the list a lot, because ten different Beagle disks have captured SEVEN OF THE TOP TEN spots for the past three months (September through November 1983). The other consistent members of the “Hobby”-10 have been Apple Pascal, Pen- guin’s great (and unprotected) gra- phics disks, Phoenix’s Zoom Grafix and Quality’s Bag of Tricks. And let's hear it for BEAGLE BAG! Our multi-game disk has grabbed a spot in the ARCADE TOP TEN in both October and November. Beagle Bag can hardly be classified as an “Arcade” game, but what other list would you put it on? aX, 4315 Sierra Vista / San Diego, Ca 92103 / 619-296-6400 Apple Tip Books Two of our newer disks, Beagle Basic and GPLE, come with Tip Books, bring- ing our total up to six. Each Tip Book is included as part of a disk’s décumenta- tion book. Excerpts appear here and there throughout this Bulletin (espe- cially on pages 8 and 9). Peeks, Pokes & Commands Our PEEKS & POKES Chart has become a standard item with Apple program- mers. If you don’t have one now, you will when you buy any Beagle disk. Our Apple COMMAND CHART comes with two Beagle disks; both are on page 12. The Beagle Bros Catalog: Alpha Plot Apple Mechanic . A.M.Typefaces . Beagle Bag ... Beagle Basic. . DiskQuik.... DOS Boss....

Why his listings and catalogs would only scroll UP off the screen, and into Hyper- Space, was a mystery to Mark Simonsen. So he did something about it— Now you can list your programs (all or part) with the added ability to CHANGE LIST-DIRECTION by pressing the Apple Arrow Keys. Your Apple's monitor be- comes a “Search Window’ to be moved UP AND DOWN through a listing at will. 2-WAY CATALOGS TOO Long Catalogs feature 2-Way Scroll, speed- ing up file-name location and program access. Two keystrokes will catalog the disk (no need to type “Catalog”). Control the Catalog scroll direction, up or down, with the Arrow keys. Control-C produces a clean exit. Improved List-Format With Double-Take in memory, each Apple- soft program statement is listed on a new line* for easy tracing of program flow, and FAST de-bugging— Errors are much easier to find in this format. Commands are properly spaced (one space between words, not two) and much easier to read. “Optional. Similar to Utility City’s XLISTER (page 13), BUT ‘operates in both directions at Machine-Language speed. For-Next Loops & If-Then’s aren't called out, asin XLISTER.

You will benefit from its many fea- tures every time you turn on your Apple. All features are fully compatible with your Applesoft and machine-language programs, including GPLE and ProntoDOS. CROSS REFERENCE Double-Take lets you quickly print an alphabetical display of all the variables, strings and arrays in an Applesoft pro- gram. Also printed is the program line number on which each variable and string occurs. AS: 108 200 250 300 1001 10 20 3008 3010 3020 50 3000 4008 5200 5601 VARIABLE DISPLAY After a program is Run, you can tell Double-Take to display all variables and strings, in the order executed, with each one’s current value: AS = "NOW IS THE TIME" X = 255 Ven = 05914159) BETTER APPEND & RENUMBER Double-Take's Append routine lets you merge program lines anywhere into other programs (not just at the end). Double-Take’s Renumber program is FAST too, with on-screen prompts for start, end, and increment.

(Copyright 1982. Beagle Bros Mic) Apple Mechanic's features and functions range from hi-res animation to title pages to computer music to “disk zapping”. Combined with our 60-page documenta- tion/Tip Book, this is one of the best Apple software bargains anywhere. snare i GW. Your Apple is capable of displaying and manipulating hi-res drawings that are stored in memory in the form of “shape tables”. These drawings are called to the screen from your programs with Apple- softs DRAW and XDRAW commands. Shape tables are excellent animation tools used in a variety of applications, from games to animated titles, charts and graphic presentations. To LL eee Hepeher Heeeeeher UG des Projected Population, 1985 Softuare| (Sample chart made Apple Mechanic's Shape Editor makes shape construction a snap. You plot your drawing from the keyboard as it is simul- taneously displayed in same-size and enlarged forms on the hi-res screen. Your shape is then automatically converted into shape table data and stored on disk for you. The hassle is gone and your creativity is released (that’s what compu- ters are for, right?) The Shape Editor's keyboard-plotting system is simple and fast. A correcting feature lets you erase by “backspacing” over your in-progress drawing. Any shape you don't like may be redrawn. A shape may be “pre-plotted” on the screen and then traced with slight changes for ani- mation purposes. by Bert Kersey $29.50 Normal Apple li/II+/Ile compatible and unprotected Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart and Apple Tip Book #5 No Charge for using these routines in your programs. Apple Mechanic will professionalize your programs. If you are writing programs for sale, you may use Apple Mechanic's rou- tines and type fonts WITHOUT CHARGE. Just give Beagle Bros credit on your disk title page and in your documentation— “HI-RES TYPE FROM APPLE MECHANIC COPYRIGHT (C), 1983 BEAGLE BROS” A Hi-Res Learning Tool The Apple Mechanic disk features three Demo programs that teach a ton about using shape tables and hi-res in your Applesoft programs. The documentation gives you a complete rundown of Apple's hi-res and shape table commands, includ- ing some not covered in your Applesoft manual. Tip Book #5, part of the docu- mentation, has tips on “More Room for Hi-Res Programs”, “Hi-Res Flix”, “S60- Plot Hi-Res”, and so on. Hi-Res Character Editor Apple Mechanic lets you create and edit hi-res “shape fonts” which may be typed directly on the screen or be accessed from your Applesoft programs. Six 96- character fonts are included on the Apple Mechanic disk (see Apple Mechanic Type- faces, next page, for more).

SCREEN COPY MAY BE PRINTED EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT. (Graphics dump software not included.) Byte Zap {also on the Apple Mechanic disk) Byte Zap is a disk inspector utility that lets you inspect and rewrite any byte on a disk. Sectors may be displayed on the screen in their entirety in one of five for- mats. You can cursor-cruise through each sector with bytes simultaneously translated into their Hex, Decimal and Ascii equivalents. You may change any byte on a disk by entering a hex or decimal number or Ascii character (including flash, inverse, nor- mal, control and lower case). Many pages of tips are included for performing disk alterations such as— restoring deleted files, modifying DOS, inserting headings in catalogs, renaming files illegally, making file names invisible, changing greeting program names, chang- ing disk volume headings, altering DOS commands & error messages...

ALPHA PLOT HI-RES APPLE GRAPHICS/TEXT PROGRAM by Bert Kersey and Jack Cassidy $39.50 Normal Apple Ii/II+/lle compatible and unprotected Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart and Tip Book #4. Two Pages, Two Drawings Alpha Plot lets you work on and compare two hi-res drawings at once. The two hi- res pages can be instantly switched in memory, putting Page One's image onto Page Two and vice versa. Type a Picture. Alpha Plotis a program that lets you draw and label an endless variety of hi-res pic- tures, charts and graphic displays. It also lets you manipulate, copy, compare and even combine pictures. All hi-res images may be saved to disk, to be retrieved by your Applesoft programs (no royalty fee required if you sell your programs). With Alpha Plot's easy-to-use key- board plotting system (paddles/joystick optional, not required), you can quickly create images on the screen, plotting in any hi-res color or reverse (the back- ground opposite at any point). Color Mixes too. Lines, circles, ellipses and boxes (outlined or filled with color) may be plotted with one or two key- strokes. All pictures may be saved to or loaded from disk. Later, you may load Alpha Plot hi-res images from your Apple- soft programs. Hi-Res Text Alpha Plot lets you type upper and lower case directly onto the hi-res screen in four sizes, from normal to giant (4-times nor- mal size). No extra hardware is required. No Htab or Vtab restrictions either. Type all kinds of color titles and labels any- where on the screen, even SIDEWAYS if you want— an effective feature for graphs. Alpha Plot's proportionally-spaced hi- res text gives a professional appearance to your graphic presentations. People DO notice the difference. Traceable, Erasable Lines Alpha Plot's optional “Rubber-Band” Cur- sor projects a line between two points so you can make visual adjustments before you draw. “Reverse” lines may also be drawn and then, if you want, be com- pletely erased without disturbing back- ground details. ALPHA PLOT Self-Portrait Dumped to Printer Note: To transfer hi-res images to paper, you need a special printer and “graphics dump” software suck as Zoom Grafix or The Printographer; ask your software store, Beagle Bros does not publish graphics dump software... yet. Image Manipulators Two drawings may be superimposed in four different ways (opaque, transparent, etc.). Any rectangular segment of a hi-res drawing can be moved to any location on either hi-res screen. You can, for exam- ple, center finished images on the screen, or imprint your trade mark or name on all of your hi-res pictures. An instant Negative of any section of the screen is a useful Alpha Plot feature. Hi-res images can even be converted to Lo-Res and back! More Pictures per Disk With Alpha Plot's Scrunch routine, you can store hi-res images in as little as one- third normal disk space (11 sectors, for example, instead of the normal 34), de- pending on the complexity of each image.

Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart Compare Beagle Bag Compare Beagle Bros’ big game disk with any single-game locked up disk on the market today. The games are a blast, the price is right, the instructions are crys- tal clear, and the disk is Copyable! More Games per Buck Don't settle for a one-game Apple disk. Beagle Bag’s got TWELVE great games by the Applesoft Ace, Bert Kersey— Text- Train, Slippery Digits, Wowzo, Magic Pack, Buzzword... More hours of enjoy- ment for your money than any of the competition. See the excellent Beagle Bag review in the January 1983 issue of Softalk (page 148), which says, in part: ) "Beagle Bros has turned out an innovative package— The games require quick thinking, but they're not mere tests of re- flexes. "At any price, the 20-page manual is worth a few bucks by itself. It's funni- er than Mad Mageeine feild shorter than ‘ Se ® National Lam- SOPHIE, THE BEAGLE BROS BEAGLE POON...” List and Learn Beagle Bag’s games are all List-able so you can see what makes them work (many of our customers have reported learning programming skills from our games). Every program on the disk may be loaded and saved from disk-to-disk, and even customized if you want. And hitting Reset doesn’t cause a memory- scrambling re-boot. Unlocked software is the only way to fly... even for GAMES! Beagle MENU Too On our Beagle Bag and Typefaces disks— BEAGLE MENU displays your normal (or ProntoDOS) disk catalogs, 20 file names at a time, showing only the file names you want (for example, only Apple- soft files, or only Locked files). No need to catalog files you don’t want, even though they still exist on the disk. To Run or Brun a program, move the cursor from file name to file name, then hit Return. That's it! Beagle Menu features Space-on-Disk, supports double drives, and has on-screen instructions. BEAGLE BASIC APPLESOFT® ENHANCER by Mark Simonsen $34.95 Requires Apple Ile (or II/II+ with RAM Card) Unprotected. Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart and Tip Book #6. RAM Applesoft is better Applesoft! Normally, Apple's Applesoft language is changeable—what they give you is what you get. But Beagle Basic puts Applesoft into RAM (changeable memory), letting you customize and enhance it. Beagle Basic's commands and functions may be added at Zero Memory Cost, because they replace only obsolete cassette com- mands (SHLOAD, RECALL, etc.). Re-word BASIC to suit your style. Beagle Basic lets you rename Applesoft commands and Error Messages (see DOS Boss for making DOS changes). Beagle Basic lets you literally re-write Applesoft for program protection, encryp- tion, or even foreign language translation... Xe 10 A BO SRIVE ZX 5 CON OUR 8O ENGSUK TE FCN Even the new Applesoft commands de- scribed below are renameable: All-New Applesoft Functions ELSE: Common in many programming languages, but missing from Applesoft until now; ELSE follows If-Then state- ments, like this— : THEN FRINT "Y PRONE "NG" SWAP: Normally, to swap two variable values, you need a third variable and an extra split-second. SWAP X,Y exchanges values in one quick step. TONE: Beagle Basic's TONE P, L com- mand plays a note of Pitch P, Length L. It makes music composition simple; no messy Pokes or Calls are ever necessary. HSCRN: Used to find the off or on status of any hi-res dot on the screen. Useful in hi-res animation “collision testing”. If you have ever used Lo-Res's SCRN com- mand, you'll appreciate this one. TXT2: This new command allows Text Page 2 to act exactly like normal Page 1, for printing, listing, and so on. Animate between pages; store menus, catalogs, etc., on one page while you view another. Switching text pages opens up all kinds of programming possibilities. MIX, PAGE, RESL and MODE: No more awkward graphics screen switch Pokes. For example, type “PAGE1” or “PAGE2” to switch pages, instead of “POKE -16300,0" or “POKE -16299,0” (never look-up those darn Pokes again!). More Programming Enhancements In addition to the new commands above, any or all of the following “patches” may be instantly added to your Apple, at ZERO COST IN MEMORY. BETTER GOTO/GOSUB GOTO and GOSUB may now be fol- lowed by variables and mathematical expressions. Use English-like commands: GOSUE COUNTER GOTO SONG In the two examples above, “COUNTER” and “SONG” have been assigned line- number values. Mathematical GOTO’s and GOSUB's are legal too: GOTO Xr1o GOS Xk TOO ESCAPE CURSOR With normal Applesoft, you aren't able to tell when you are in Escape Mode (mov- ing the cursor). With Beagle Basic, press- ing the ESC key temporarily changes the normal cursor to a flashing “+”. Hitting a non-cursor-move key retrieves the nor- mal Applesoft cursor. A BETTER BEEP Select a custom tone for your Apple's control-G bell. Beagle Basic lets you cus- tomize your Apple, from the Monitor up! BONUS UTILITIES Bonus Text-Screen Formatter and Editor, new one-word Basic commands to re- place Apple's awkward text Calls, new commands to scroll text up and down, not possible before Beagle Basic. Not to mention... INVERSE REMS TOO! This Beagle Basic option makes program REMarks appear as bold stand-out head- lines in your Applesoft listings. Plus Apple Tip Book #6 More tips, tricks and valuable program- ming goodies, all included as part of the Beagle Basic documentation book. ‘SIX BEAGLE BROS DISKS NOW COME WITH APPLE TIP BOOKS. EVERY ONE COMES WITH A FREE PEEKS & POKES CHART. i BEAGLE BROS BULLETIN: PAGE 6 BEAGLE BROS / 4315 SIERRA VISTA / SAN DIEGO, CA 92103 DISKQUIK DISK DRIVE EMULATOR by Harry Bruce and Gene Hite $29.50 REQUIRES APPLE Ile WITH EXTENDED 80-COLUMN CARD Unprotected. Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart An In-Memory “Disk Drive” Disk Quik is easy to describe— It makes your Apple lle think a disk drive is con- nected to Slot 3. But DiskQuik is much faster, quieter and more reliable. Enjoy the benefits of a second (or 3rd or 4th...) disk drive at less than 1/10 the price. The Apple Ile’s Extended 80-Column Card (required) holds about HALF as much data as a 5'4" floppy disk. Normal Commands and Procedures Allnormal Applesoftand DOS commands, except INIT,” are in effect once DiskQuik is loaded. For example, “CATALOG, S3” catalogs files in RAM (Slot 3). “CATA- LOG, S6" displays your normal disk cata- log. Files may be transferred between RAMand normal Apple floppy disks with FID or normal DOS commands. *INIT is temporarily replaced by a DiskQuik “WIPE” command which, in effect, clears Slot 3's memory. INIT may be re-instated at any time. Silent and Fast Since no moving parts are involved, Disk- Quik operates silently and at superhigh speeds. For example, Brunning FID takes 2 seconds instead of the normal 6. A catalog will fill the screen in under a second. See it to believe it. Ready When You Are DiskQuik has many uses. For example, load often-used files like FIDinto memory when you boot, so they are always avail- able when you need them. Access these files just as you would from disk ("_BRUN FID, S3” for example). Swap files from RAM onto disk and vice versa, just as if a disk drive were connected to Slot #3. Friendly and Compatible Disk Quik is compatible with Apple Ile 80- column display, ProntoDOS, GPLE, Dou- ble-Take, and all normal Applesoft and DOS commands and procedures. Disk- Quik will not interfere with lle Double Hi-Res graphics. Bonus Utilities Disk Quik comes fully equipped with a set of menu-selectable utilities for mass trans- fer of files between RAM and floppy disk, “write-protecting” RAM, toggling Disk- Quik’s sound effects (an optional click that acts as an “In Use” signal), and more. DOS Bossis a classic utility disk that you will use and enjoy. Applers around the world are using DOS Boss to learn about their Apple, customize their sys- tems and truly personalize their personal computers. Rename DOS Commands For example, change “Catalog” to “Menu” oreven“M" to save keystrokes. Or change “Save” to “Keep”, or “Load” to “Ribbit”, to protect programs. Use your imagination; only you will know your commands. To make a change, simply Run DOS Boss, select the command you want changed (say “Catalog”), then enter your new command word (say “Cat”), and that's it! Other DOS changes are made with equal ease— New Error Messages DOS's “Syntax Error’ can be renamed “Cannot Compute” or “Try Again!”; or “Disk Full” can be “(Burp!)”; or just about F anything you want. S Save-Protect Programs By manipulating DOS, you can make any unauthorized attempt to save one of your programs halt and produce a “Not Copy- able (beep!)” message. Easy-to-follow in- structions, a strong DOS Boss feature, are included for this and other “snoop- prevention” techniques.

DOS BOSS DISK COMMAND EDITOR by Bert Kersey and Jack Cassidy $24.00 Normal Apple II/lI+/Ile compatible. Unprotected. Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart and Tip Book #2. DOS Boss's change features may be appended to any or all of your programs, so that anyone using your disks (booted or not) on any Apple will be formatting DOS the way YOU designed it. Customized Catalogs Why not replace Apple’s unnecessary DISK VOLUME heading with your own disk number, title or name? You can with DOS Boss! Include or omit the volume number, as you choose. Convert catalogs to 2 or 4 columns so that all of your file names appear on the screen at once. Omit or alter sector numbers and language codes too. ‘One-Key Program Selection DOS Boss's Key-Cat simplifies Apple program selection. A single letter will appear next to each file name in your catalog. Pressing the corresponding key will Run, Brun or Exec the chosen pro- gram for you automatically. Key-Cat ope- rates with any length catalog and reports Space-On-Disk at the touch of a key. Plus Apple Tip Book #2 Beagle Bros is big on documentation; with DOS Boss you receive DOS Boss instructions, clearly-written from a begin- ner’s viewpoint, plus easy-to-understand discussions of how and why each DOS Boss feature works. MORE TIPS TOO: Info on using both sides of your disks, maintaining your drives, sorting words, poking around in DOS, storing disks, 3.3 vs. 3.2... BEAGLE BROS / 4315 SIERRA VISTA / SAN DIEGO, CA 92103 It looks like Beagle Bros disk descriptions con- tinue on Page 10. RANDOM ACCESS PRONTO TYPER ProntoDO$’s TYPE command (“TYPE filename”) was originally designed to display the contents of only Sequential text files. These three quick pokes let TYPE display Random Access files as well: POKE 48362,144 (was 208) POKE 48380,56 (was 169) POKE 48381,234 (was 0) ProntoDOS and the TYPE command must be active when you make the pokes. Two minor problems: Sequen- tial files displayed with TYPE will now end in a string of inverse @’s (zeros). And, since sectors are not allocated for Random file records until something is stored in them, the spacing between records in the TYPE display may seem wrong. If this bugs you, make sure something is stored in every record. PRINTER ELEVATOR If you don’t need your Apple Ile monitor stand, use it as a handy over-the-paper printer shelf! SORTFILE PAGE BREAK To make Utility City’s Sortfile pro- gram skip 16 lines at the end of each page, change Line 2975 and add Line 2980: 2975 XO = G: FOR X = START 10 PH 2980 XO = XO + 1: IF PS = "P" AND XO - INT (x0 / 50) * 50 = 1 AND X9 > 1 THEN FOR Xl = 1 TO 16: PRINT : NEXT Xl: REM SKIPS 16 LINES EVERY 50 IIe REVb As soon as the Apple IIe hit the stands, they changed it. The newer Ile’s have the “Revision B” mother- board, capable of “Double Hi-Res” (16-color, 192 x 560) graphics (software required; we’re working on it). Look under your Ile’s hood, near slot 4. If you see something like: “820-0064-B”, you have a Rev. B motherboard. If you don’t, see your Apple dealer. The newer Ile’s have different keys and a new-style lid too—no big deal.

Probably not, but leave the lid off for 90 days, or you will possibly void the little critters’ warranty. Q. Dear Uncle Louie— My wife com- plains that I spend too much time to her or the kids anymore. She’s probably right; any suggestions? A. Turn around and acknowledge them during the slow parts of pro- grams. Basic sort routines are per- fect for this. Name tags for the kids are a good idea too. Q. Dear Uncle Louie— When I con- nect my giant-screen tv to my Apple II+, the projected image comes out upside down. What would you do? A. Turn the screen over. ONERR TRY AGAIN From TIP BOOK #6 (Beagle Basic)— This program puts a small patch into DOS. In the event of a DOS error (like “File Not Found”), the cursor is put back ON THE SAME LINE as the typed statement that caused the error. That way, you can immediately trace over the statement without re-locating the cursor. 10 POKE 42751,76: POKE 42752,240 : POKE 42753,164 15 REM ASSUMES 48K DOS 26 FOR I = 42224 TO 42235: READ BYTE: POKE I,BYTE: NEXT I 30 DATA 165,37,233,4,32,91,251, 108, 94,157,0,0 Giving credit where credit is par- tially due— Don Worth and Pieter Lechner inspired us on this one.

BULLETIN LOOSE ENDS DEPARTMENT @ POKE 444440 will cause a “Volume Mismatch” error when you try to catalog. From Dennis McEntire, Milpitas, California. e “GR:HGR” sets the text window, trapping all printed text below the hi-res screen. Now a HOME com- mand during a hi-res display won't hide your cursor. @ Instead of a program password, you could put some numbers on your paddles and use them as a “combination lock”. Make the com- bination as simple or complex as you like. e@ To prevent an unwanted ?Div- ision by Zero error in the expres- sion “PRINT A/B”, replace the B with “(B+NOT B)”. This takes on a value of 1 if B=0. Thanks to K. W. Miller of Bowie, MD. DIRECT :READER From TIP BOOK #7 (GPLE)— The direct (not in a program) com- mand, “READ A$” gives a “Not Direct Command” error message because DOS thinks you mean “Read”, as in “Read a text file”, instead of “Read some data”. Stick a COLON in front of “Read” for a quick fix. Type a program line like: 10 DATA 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,12 Wow type “:READ A$: PRINT A$” a few times. It works!

Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart. 70-column display requires monochrome monitor (not a tv). Note: Because of a name conflict with another soft- ware company, we have changed the name of “Flex Text” to “Flex Type”. Same product; new name, Combined Hi-Res and Text without Special Commands Our favorite Flex Type feature is that you can HPLOT and PRINT on the same screen with no unusual commands. With Flex Type booted, it’s just as sim- ple as this: io. vraK 1S PRINT "DOGFOON" 20 HIPLGH rit) Pe 277. 10. Here, Lines 10 and 15 print “DOGFOOD” on the hi-res screen (looking identical to the text screen). Line 20 draws a hi-res line under the word; a few more com- mands could draw a box around the word, or a graph. Type directly on Bloaded pictures too, with Applesoft PRINT statements. With Flex Type, you are no longer re- stricted by Apple's four-lines-of-text limit at the bottom of your hi-res pictures. Flex Type is indeed flexible. Character Width Control Just as a dot-matrix printer produces compressed and expanded type, Flex Type creates the same effect on the HAR PO Programmers use FLEX TYPE to mix type SIZES and type STYLES ON THE SAME SCREEN. ~y screen—Display text in normal 40 col- umns, or produce 20-column Expanded: or 56-and 70-column Condensed char- acters (that's 7/8th’s of 80-columns on any Apple Il, II+ or Ile, without any extra hardware). Type sizes may be mixed on the same screen (or even on the same line) for copyfitting and/or emphasis. Simple con- trol-character commands trigger the dif- ferent character widths. Normal Applesoft Does the Job. Flex Type understands normal Applesoft Basic commands, including HOME, IN- VERSE, NORMAL, VTAB 1-24 and HTAB 1 through HTAB 70. Flex Type also supports top and bot- tom text window pokes and has smooth hi-res scrolling (in both directions with Double-Take), so you can program as you normally would, but with the ability to add text to graphics, or graphics to text. You can even run your existing Apple- soft programs with Flex Type features. (Note: Some of your larger programs may over-write the hi-res screen. Instruc- tions are included for getting around this problem.) An Endless Cast of Characters Upper and Lower Case may be typed in any width without extra hardware. And every keyboard character may be rede- fined as any symbol you like with Flex Type’s Text Character Editor. Apple's DOS TOOL KIT® fonts are supported too, letting you switch be- tween up to NINE FONTS in memory at once with simple control-character com- mands. Three Screens for More Flexibility Flex Type lets you toggle between the normal text screen and both hi-res pages (remember, these can now display text), opening up’ all kinds of new program- ming possibilities, including “screen- switch” animation... with text!

Text and lo-res frames load even faster, providing you with interesting disk-to-screen ani- mation possibilities. Next “Slide” Please... You may use the Apple keyboard (or paddles or joystick) to change frames in forward or reverse order, skipping images if you want. Or presentations may be left unattended, with each frame individually timed to appear and remain on the screen from 1 to 99 seconds. The order and timing of yourimages may be easily (and instantly) arranged and rearranged. Ahandy Text Screen Editor is included that lets you create black-and-white text frames. You can even add type “live” on the screen during your presentations. More Pix per Disk Up to 17 hi-res or 136 lo-res/text pages may be stored per disk. With two drives, you can double these figures without touching a disk. Mail Your Presentations Frame-Up's handy “Display Module” may be copied and distributed to your asso- ciates (or mailed home to Mom), so they can run your display, as you designed it, on their Apple or any Apple! Easy to Use Frame-Up features one-key commands, a bi-directional scrolling catalog, on- screen menus and a handy reference chart, which all work together to make Frame-Up simple to use and operate. Frame-Up is ideal for store displays, presentations to the boss, club programs, trade show booths, product demos, pro- motions, seminars, conventions, classes, and just plain showing off your Apple.

Or your existing disks may be updated, with all data remaining intact. Booting ProntoDOS or any of your updated disks automatically installs high-speed DOS in your Apple. Pronto DOS-Mover ProntoDOS's “"DOS-Up” program moves DOS to your Apple I! or II+’s Language Card (RAM Card) or Apple Ile standard high-memory, freeing up a whopping 10,000 EXTRA BYTES (that's 10K) of programmable memory space. TYPE Your Text Files ProntoDOS allows you to add a handy new “TYPE” command that reveals the contents of your Text Files. For example, the command “TYPE INFO” will print all text (to screen or printer) stored in the Text File named “INFO”. See the tip on page 8 regarding Random Access files. More Data per Disk ProntoDOS gives you 15 extra sectors of disk storage space— almost one full track of data! This is space normally wasted by Apple DOS. New DOS Features With ProntoDOS in memory, all disk catalogs will optionally feature a Free- Space-On-Disk display, every time you Catalog; a great benefit. ESC can be designated to escape from a file being Read or Exec’d. Control-C will cleanly exit from the middle of a long catalog... ProntoDOS is compatible with al!

A “Word Processor” for Applesoft Programs GPLE is The classic line editor for the Apple. It lets you edit Basic program lines fast without awkward cursor-tracing and “escape editing” methods. We believe every Apple should come with GPLE. GPLE is installed in memory when you boot, remaining “invisible” to your pro- grams and unaffected by even the most “destructive” commands, such as FP and INT. You may install GPLE in normal 48K memory or in the Language Card (built-in on all Apple Ile’s). Insert and Delete Now you can make almost instant chan- ges to any Applesoft or Integer Basic program line. GPLE lets you instantly jump the cursor to the change pointin the line and insert or delete text. Other code in the line moves aside to make room (what you see is what you get). If you make a mistake, you can restore the line to its previous condition with a simple command. Control-characters are easy to insert and delete too; they show up as inverse when being edited. With GPLE, itis no longer necessary to trace the cursor to the end of the line you are editing. No matter where the cursoris, hit Return, and that line is entered into memory. Global Search & Replace GPLE finds any word or variable in a program fast, letting you change thatline, delete it, or just look at it. Here are some examples of GPLE’s Global capabilities: Look at all lines containing a GOSUB. Edit or delete all lines with a REM. © Locate all occurrences of the variable X (in any line range). Replace all X-variables with ABC's. © Quickly change all “Hello” strings to “Good-Bye’s’. All Global functions may be performed ona specified range of lines or an entire program. HEY, THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING TO RROGRAM WITHOUT ’SPLE. Definable ESC Functions GPLE lets you define an ESC-keypress followed by any other key to perform any keyboard task. For example, ESC 1 can catalog drive 1, ESC Lcan doa" HOME: LIST”, ESC N could type an entire sub- routine... Anything you want, whenever you want it. Acomplete set of Escape functions is included with GPLE, pre-programmed and ready to use. Each function may be used as is, or deleted or changed when- ever you like. After you create your own “Escape Table”, you can save it on disk so it will be in memory the next time you load GPLE. 80-Column Compatibility All GPLE edit and global features support Apple Ile 80-column cards and most 80- column cards on any Apple lle, Il+ or Il. Double-Take, ProntoDOS, DOS Boss, Flex Type, etc..—and; of course, all of your Applesoft and Integer Basic pro- grams—get along quite well with GPLE. GPLE DOS Mover GPLE comes with its own “DOS Mover” program that lets you move DOS to the Language Card (built-in on all Ile’s) for an extra 10,000 bytes (that's 10K) of pro- grammable memory. GPLE itself may be located on the Language Card or in Main 48K Memory. Pius Apple Tip Book #7 Learn more about your Apple—GPLE comes with more tips and tricks from Beagle Bros, many involving GPLE.

My (an unsolicited NEW ViM AND VIGORI ‘ondorsemont) vol CHART with each Tip Disk #1 Each Tip Disk #1 comes with a free Peeks & Pokes Chart (of course) and an 11" x 17" APPLE COMMAND CHART, an alphabetical listing of all Applesoft, Inte- ger Basic & DOS commands and their functions, typeset and printed on heavy- duty stock. Now you can see al/ com- mands at a glance and experiment with ones you maybe never new existed. CHRS(83); CHRS(73); CHRS$(84); CHR$(161) PHOTO FACTS: Q. Regarding the Beagle staff photo in the October 1983 Softalk, page 67: (1) What is that thing around Jack Cassidy's leg? (2) Is that a bent tennis racket on the wall? (3) Why do all three clocks say the same exact time? A. (1) A leg iron. (2) Yes. (3) They are extremely accurate. SILICON SALAD INCLUDING TIP DISK #2 by Bert Kersey and Mark Simonsen $24.95 Normal Apple II/II+/lle compatible and unprotected, Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart and Apple Command Chart. Silicon Salad has something for everyone (except folks without Apples). First of all, it's a disk, not a salad. Like Tip Disk #1, this disk has Apple Tip Book Tips, and then some. Take a look: MORE TIP BOOK TIPS Silicon Salad has all of the programs from these recent Beagle Bros Tip Books: Tip Book #5 (Apple Mechanic) Tip Book #6 (Beagle Basic) Tip Book #7 (GPLE), and Tips & Tricks Chart #1 (Double-Take) Here is just a small sample of what you get in the way of Tip Book programs: @ A hi-res Text Imprint routine that takes anything you print on the 40-column text screen and imprints it instantly, pixel-for- pixel, onto the hi-res screen. @ A routine that lets you Brun Hi-Res pictures (instead of Bload). The single command, “BRUN picture”, will cause the image to appear on the page you specify, automatically revealing that page with the screen split or full. The page and split/full- screen commandsare invisibly imbedded in your hi-res picture. @ An Applesoft Error Trapper that lists the offending program line and highlights the illegal statement. @ Asuper-fast Word Alphabetizer. Beagle Bros held a contest last year for the fas- test Basic sorter, and this one won. @ A 40-column Text Formatter that trans- fers anything and everything on the text screen into Applesoft Print statements that can be added to your programs. @ Beagle Blackjack! Written in Applesoft, and just as much fun as the real thing. People have fun customizing this one. @ A Help Screen trick that lets you store menus and such on text Page 2. @ Plus (of course) much more! TWO-LINERS TOO It seems like the Applesoft Two-Liners just keep getting better. These little gems, mailed in to Uncle Louie by Beagle Bros customers from around the world, can teach you a bunch about programming efficiently in Applesoft. At the Very least, they are all Very entertaining. BONUS UTILITIES FROM THE BEAGLE ARCHIVES! Mark Simonsen and Bert Kersey started digging around in the Beagle Bros back- up vault and realized they had all kinds of “mini-utilities” that hadn’t been used on any Beagle disk before. These programs have all been re-worked and polished to Beagle Bros standards and tossed into Silicon Saiad. DISK SCANNER: This machine lan- guage program scans a disk, looking for and reporting flawed sectors. Bad sec- tors, if any, are automatically “sealed off” so your programs won't try to use them. KEY-CLICKER: This one makes your Apple emit a faint click with every key- stroke (you define the click). Many com- puters use this feature. DOS-KILLER: You only need DOS on disks that you are going to boot. This program removes DOS to create “data disks”. The best part is that you gain 32 more free sectors of space. TWO-TRACK CAT: Normally you can only store 105 files on a disk. Now you can store twice that many! PROGRAM SPLITTER: |s hi-res in the way of your Applesoft programs? Use this routine to make programs “jump over” either or both hi-res pages, and make the most efficient use of memory. UNDELETE: Reveals and undeletes ac- cidentally Deleted files. This one could prevent a bundle of trouble. THAT’S NOT ALL But that's all we're going to tell you about. SO TELL ME, HI-RES HARRY— WILL THOSE PICTURES EVER GO AWAY? SURE, WATCH— JUST YELL “HGR!” AS LOUD AS YOU CAN. BEAGLE BROS BULLETIN: PAGE 12 Utility City is twenty-one useful and entertaining Apple utilities, programmed in the Beagle Bros style by the Beagle boss himself, Bert Kersey. Take a look at U-City’s programs. Each one works like a charm, but— in case you're interested— you can change each program to fit your needs. Or simply study each one to see what makes it tick. Unlocked software is the only way to fly. The Programs BIGLINER: Renumber program lines to 65535 making them inaccessible. Protect your copyright messages or subroutines. FILENAME ZAP: Create trick file names; inverse, flash, mixed and/or invis- ible; to make files inaccessible or to dress up your catalog displays. SCREENWRITER?*: Compose and for- mat Apple text layouts (title pages, menus, displays, etc.) on your monitor. Type directly in inverse, flash, normal and upper/lower case. Words may be moved; centered or flush left or right. Move entire blocks of copy too. Print your finished layouts or store on disk. *No relation to Sierra On-Line’s SCREENWRITER I (an EXCELLENT Word Processor, by the way). MULTI-CAT: Send long catalogs to your printer or CRT in multiple columns (3, 4, 5...) and in any column-width (40, 60, 80...). Sector numbers and file-type codes may be included or omitted. TEXT DUMP: Transfers any 40-column text screen to your printer. Use alone or append to your programs. SORTFILE: Sort, store and update sim- ple one-field lists on disk. Listable, cus- tomizable, and expandable. RUN COUNTER: Appended to Apple- soft programs. Posts on the screen the number of times a program has been Run, each time it's Run. DATE COUNTER: Similar to Run Coun- ter (above)— reports the last DATE an Applesoft program was Run. REM ZAP: Makes Rem statements temp- orarily inverse in your program listings. Just a gimmick, but an interesting one. (Beagle Basic has a real Rem inverser.) LINE SEARCH: Find program lines in memory for program repair or “illegal” alteration. Supports hex and decimal. KILL-CAT: Lets control-C (or any key you choose) make a clean break in long disk catalogs. CITY 21 UTILITIES ON ONE DISK by Bert Kersey EARLY EU tics. gat SAB Mocesson ofl) i iis DOUBLE LOADER: Run any Apple- soft file while your current program stays intact (no need to save, load and re-load). CONNECT: Append programs together or attach subroutines to programs with- out retyping them. KEY-CAT: Select and run programs from catalog with one keystroke (no need to type file names). Features an instant Space-On-Disk report too. $29.50 Normal Apple II/II+/Ile compatible and unprotected. Includes Peeks & Pokes Chart and Apple Tip Book #3, INT CONVERTER: Convert Integer Basic programs to Applesoft. Integer Basic language is required. HEX/DEC/BIN CONVERTER: Con- vert from or to hex while your current program stays intact. Reports positive & negative decimal values as well as hex. COMMAND ZAP: Put invisible func- tioning Applesoft commands into your listings (for program protection) and cre- ate attractive flush left List headings. CHR$ POKER: Find locations and values for poking characters onto the screen. An interesting teaching tool. BFIND: Reports the most-recently bload- ed binary file's start address and length in hex and decimal. An Exec file; no need to save and re-load. Utility City’s XLISTER XLISTER: Convert your normally con- fusing Applesoft listings into a set of clear step-by-step instructions. After loading your program, just type “Exec Xlister” to list all or part of a program. Each program statement appears on a newline, properly spaced in the chosen column-width. Every statement following an IF is called out. For-Next loops are indented ala Pascal. Xlister is useful for de-bugging or for mak- ing archive printouts (with page breaks) of your finished work. Normal Listing: 1@ REM U-CITY XLISTER DEMO 15 GR: HGR : HOME 20 FOR X = 20 10 279 STEP 20: FOR Y = 20 TO 191 STEP 20: HCOLOR= 3: HPLOT X,Y: IF X = 180 - Y THEN F = 2: HPLOT X — F,Y TO X + F,Y: HPLOT X,¥ - F TO X, Y+E 30 HCOLOR= 6: IF X = 100 OR Y = 100 THEN HPLOT X - 16,Y -1 O: HPLOT X + 10,¥ + 10 4@ NEXT Y: HTAB 1+ INT (X / 7) : PRINT INT (X / 26); SPC( 2): NEXT X: PRINT : HTAB 15: PRINT "END OF TEST"; Use XLISTER [9° Ceo r for al ‘ (with Page Breaks) x ‘ot your finished Program Note: Another re-formatted list utility is featured on our DOUBLE-TAKE disk (page 3). Double-Take's “New List” routine is much faster than Xlister, but does not feature page breaks and indented loops. Below is a demo program “Xlisted” in 40 columns (you may select any column- width.) NOTICE THE FEATURES— a. Each program statement appears ona new line, thus unscrambling the listing. b. The asterisks indicate that a statement will be executed only if the “IF” is true. c. Each For-Next loop is indented. The example contains a nested loop with double indentation.

Can Beagle Basic be used to translate EVERY Applesoft command into another language? A. Yes. Every command may be changed to any word you want. Error messages too. We get letters verifying this from countries we've barely reard of (sure wish ‘we could read some of those letters! ) Q. Why do programs that I don’t want appear on disks that I initialize? A. You probably initialized your disk without typing or loading your own greeting (“Hello”) program first. Whatever program is in memory at the time becomes the greeting program when you “INIT HELLO”. Q. Will your various hi-res graphics programs print hi-res on my printer? A. Not without help. You need two things to “dump” hi-res to a printer: (1) a dot matrix printer with gra- phics capabilities. (2) compatible hi-res dump soft- ware such as THE PRINTOGRAPHER or ZOOM GRAFIX; or a graphics interface such as THE GRAPPLER. Beagle Bros does not publish a graphics dump disk... yet. Q. How do I use DOS Boss with ProntoDOS? A. Boot ProntoDOS, then RUN DOS BOSS (don’t boot DOS Boss; you will wipe out Pronto). Make your DOS Boss changes, then initialize a new disk. Or RUN PRONTO UPDATE to create high-speed DOS-Bossed disks. Don’t use DOS BOSS UPDATE with ProntoDOS. Q. Could there be features on a Beagle Bros disk that aren’t mentioned in the documentation? A. Possibly. Some of our disks have a “Notes” file that discusses recent updates. RUN NOTES to see. Q. Do you consider software pirates a problem? A. Most of our customers support us by not giving our software away. We return that support in the form of quality products for your Apple, low prices and NO aggravating disk protection schemes. Thanks for respecting our unlocked policy. We're sticking with it. YOU KNOW, IT'S TRULY. AMAZING HOW COMPUTER: TECHNOLOGY HAS PROGRESSED. | WONDER WHAT THEY'LL DREAM UP NEXT... an BEAGLE BROS BULLETIN: PAGE 14 PROBABLY SMALLER DIP SWITCHES. Q. What do you do with those little grey plastic hole plugs from the back of your Apple Ile? A. Throw them in a drawer. Q. I like your “unprotected” policy. Why don’t other companies produce backup-able disks? A. Plenty of them do. You can find all types of unpro- tected disks—word processors, spread sheets, etc.— if you look around. Read the ads, and ask your dealer before you buy, so you know what you're getting. Don’t base a purchase solely on a product's lack of copy protection, but give it plenty of weight. Q. Can I load GPLE, Double-Take and ProntoDOS all into memory at once? If so, how? A. No problem. For the main memory (48K) versions of GPLE and Double-Take, type these immediate (not in a program) commands after booting ProntoDOS: BRUN GPLE.48 BRUN DOUBLE-TAKE.48 For the Language Card versions, put Put the following greeting program on a “Pronto-fied” disk, and boot it: 10 PRINT CHR$(4);”BRUN GPLE.LC” 20 PRINT CHR$(4);”"BRUN DOUBLE-TAKE.LC” If you want DOS moved, use this greeting program: 10 IF PEEK(978) > 189 THEN 30 20 PRINT CHR$(4);"EXEC DO GPLE DOS MOVER” 30 PRINT CHR$(4);”BRUN GPLE.DM” 40 PRINT CHR$(4);”BRUN DOUBLE-TAKE.DM” Q. I accidentally erased my Double-Take disk. Now what do I do? A. First, kick yourself for not backing it up. Second, if you have any Beagle Bros disk that won’t work for ANY reason (or if you need an update), mail the ORIG- INAL DISK to us with $5.00 (please keep the documen- tation), and we'll send you a replacement disk. (Of course, if the disk was bad when you got it, no charge.) Q. How come I can’t successfully use the Exec command from within a program? Crazy things happen when I try. A. You may issue an Exec command from the END of an Applesoft program. To Exec from the middle of a program, have your Exec file end in a GOTO (line- number) back to your program. It works! Q. How come my Apple IIe didn’t come with those nice new DOS Manuals? A. See your dealer; he owes you a set of DOS Manuals. The “older” Apple Ile’s were released before these excel- lent new books were printed. Q. I don’t know how I “survived” without Double-Take’s two-way List and Catalog scrolling. Why do most computers only scroll UP, anyway? A. Who knows? Our theory is that up-only scrolling evolved from “ancient” pre-CRT times when all computer output was to some kind of printer. Since most printers didn’t go in reverse, neither did video displays. Time marches on...
