How to submit articles

The quality of the mat erial we c an publis h in

Dragon User each month will, to a very great ex-

tent depend on the quality of the discoveries that

you c an mak e wit h y our Dragon. The Dragon

computer was launched on to the market with a

powerful version of Basic, but wit h very poor

documentation.

Articles whic h are submitted to Dragon User

for publication s hould not be more than 3000

words long A l l submissions should be typed.

Please leave wide margins and a double space

between each line. Programs should, whenever

possible, b e c omput er printed on plain whit e

paper and b e ac c ompanied by a t ape of t he

program.

We cannot guarantee to return every submit-

ted article or program, so please keep a copy. If

you want to have your program returned you must

include a stamped addressed envelope.

HAVING received my ﬁrst copy

of DU, April 1988, I noticed a

letter from Ken Smith regard-

ing the display on a black and

white TV or monitor.

I have three Dragon 64s on

monitors which are black and

white t h e only mod being to

remove the LM1889 IC (video

modulator)whichworksoutthe

colour difference signals (and

makes a me ss o f b la ck a n d

white displays).

In the'32thisIC is in asocket.

but i n t h e ' 6 4 i t i s u su a lly

soldered into the board. How-

ever, if you are reasonablewith

a soldering iron you can take it

out and then replace it with an

IC socket With the IC removed

the computer will give a ro ck

steady black and white display

(even on a colour TV).

Also, on the subject of video.

How green is m y black, D U

February 1988 by Paul Reid: if

you invert the signal going into

pin 32, ratherthan tie it to5 volts

or 0 volts, then the cursor reap-

pears as a ﬂashing white blob.

The IC I use to invert the signal

is the TTL 7404.

I have had this mod ﬁtted to

all three machines for about 18

months and had no problems.

although it is still necessary to

have a switch tog° back to nor-

mal d isp la y f o r t h e h i r e s

screens.

This can easily be done by

using spare ways on the 7404,

as this is a quad invertor.

If anybody is interested, I

can supply details. Th is mod

Old Dus ton

A reviewer's life

is a hard one

THOSE of you who bothered to

read my review of Spy Against

Spyandcanstillrememberwhat

I said will have noticed that I

was asked for my ideas on it as

a reviewer before it was com-

pleted, and I would appreciate

feedback on a point that was

raised as a result of this.

Originally the game had no

scoring fe a tu re , a n d I f e l t

strongly that this should be in-

cluded, even more so in a two-

player g a me , a s I th in k that

players like to know who has

won o r if they have beaten a

previous high-score h e ld b y

themselves or somebody else.

Maybe I am the one that is

wrong but I would like to know

whether it does make any dif-

ference if the game has a scor-

ing system. Writing reviews is

not easy, as I have discovered_

One h a s to t ry and distance

oneself slightly fro m the per-

sonal enjoyment of the game

and consider howother people

will enjoyit A review is often the

only idea that the reader can

get of what the game is like.

Truth and fairness have to be

the main criterion, mentioning

good points and bad, without

being too personally biased. I

am assisted in this task by my

two sonsaged 14 and 7who en-

joy completely different types

of games.

I hope that buyers o f soft-

ware that I review feel that they

have bought the sa me game

that they read about in my write

up. Nowadays there is not as

much software to review as in

the p a st a n d I wo n d e r h o w

much interest therewould be in

reviewsof oldermaterial. Quite

often I a m at Shows and see

software o n sale, se e min g ly

reasonably p rice d , b u t i t i s

something that I h a ve never

even heard o f a n d I wonder

whether to take a chance o r

not. P e r h a p s r e a d e r s o f

Dragon User would like to ﬁnd

out about those g a me s a n d

utilities which they have never

seen a review about,

I k n o w th a t so me writ e rs

would write mo re about soft-

ware if they had an idea of what

the buying public wants, so if

you h a ve a great idea fo r a

game ora utilitywhy not write in

to the software houses and ask

them if they are interested in

your id e a . L e t ' s fa ce it , w e

could do with much more origi-

nal so ftwa re t h a n w e h a ve

been getting over the last few

years. Fin a lly this year is the

Chinese Yearof the Dragon, so

why don't we also ensure that it

really lives up to its name_ To

the user I say,please buy more

software rather than pirating it,

as we need to keep the writers

working on fresh software and

they need to sell more than just

a handful o f copies. T o t h e

writers and software houses,

please g ive u s mo re original

software and notj ust variations

of an old theme (yes, I appre-

ciate that the idea for a n e w

game is often as hard as the

programming).

To those o f you wh o have

only borrowed th is copy wh y

not takeout your own subscrip-

tion t o Dra g o n Us e r? H o w

manyof you have still not joined

before that we should review

older software, a nd indeed

from time to time we do. I am

sitting o n s ome retrospec-

tive reviews. Howe v e r, w e

have ha d a good supply of

new reviews this last year,

and I consider these to be

more i m por ta nt. A n o t h e r

factor is tha t I want to give

priority to software which is

still available from one of the

Dragon t r a d e r s , w h i c h

means th a t a ny body w h o

READ-PC and

footnotes

I WI L L b e h a p p y to provide

working object versions of all

the software listed in READ-PC

(Dragon Use r March 1988) to

those readers who send me an

empty, formatted diskette (two

if they want OS-9 stuff) and a

self-addressed, p r e p a i d

envelope. I can handle 40 track

single and double sided 5.25in

and 80 track single and double

sided 3 . 5 in d i s c s i n b o t h

DragonDOS and Dragon OS-9

(and if you have some interest-

ing self-made software s e n d

it along!).

In t h e listin g i n lin e 240,

some Finnish characters slip-

ped through. The character A

with two dots over it is equiva-

lent to a left square bracket,

obtained by pressing Shift and

Down arrow at the same time

on the Dragon keyboard. The

little accent leaning to the right

is equivalent to the at sign (@)

on the keyboard.

The reference in the text to

'brackets means square brac-

kets, which on Finnish printers

produce two local variants on A

(Ascii 91 and 93). The 'braces'

are wavy brackets, Ascii codes

123 and 125. They cannot be

obtained f ro m th e keyboard,

but when made using CHR$

look like reverse video square

brackets on the screen.

The Dragon's cassette I/O

system has been made so that

characters wh ich ca n n o t b e

produced by the keyboard can-

not b e loaded fro m cassette

either (I don't know why). This

includes b ra ce s. T h e p r o -

blems with Telewriter may have

many reasons. I never tried it

myself: I only trusted its adver-

tised ability to read Ascii ﬁles,

which possibly is not quite as

perfect a s claimed. I suggest

readers write their own Micro-

soft B a sic e d it o r b a se d o n

LINE INPUT E-1,AS (or # -1 AS)

which will certainly work.

An Announcement

I am very pleased and proud to be given this opportunity to take over the ownership of Dragon User.

My commitment to the future of the Dragon is well known, and I believe that I shall be able to

continue the important role that the magazine has always played in the development of the

computer.

While I shall be assuming overall responsibility for the production of Dragon User, the ﬁnancial

management of the magazine will be handled by a new company, to be called Dragon Publications,

quite separately from Harris Micro Software.

Most importantly, the editorial policy of the magazine will remain completely independent, and I

am very pleased that Helen Armstrong has agreed to continue as Editor. Together I am sure that we

shall be able to maintain the high standard of the magazine, with news, views, help and fun, and

above all, to continue to provide a good service to the whole of the Dragon community.

Bob Harris

I AM sure that all Dragon users everywhere will welcome Bob Harris, who we all know as one of the most knowledgeable

and most committed of Dragon supporters, to the Guv'norship of Dragon User and look forward to helping it to prosper

under his care.

Dragon User's new address will be Dragon Publications, 49 Alexandra Road, Hounslow, Middlesex, TW3 4HP, and all

subscriptions and correspondence should be sent to that address.

Many thanks to Sunshine Publications for running Dragon User for the last ﬁve years. DU is the last computer rag in

their stable, and I'm sure they'll enjoy forwarding our letters and phone calls for many months to come.

Joysticks from Whitehouse

HARRY Wh i t e h o u s e h a s

devised an entirely new type of

joystick for the Dragon — the

fastest joystick known to man.

You can operate this as fast

as you can think', says Harry.

That should speed a few peo-

ple up — if not everyone.

The to u ch -se n sitive j o y -

sticks have no moving parts,

and respond e n tire ly t o t h e

position of the operator's hand

on f o u r t o u c h -s e n s it iv e ,

silvered pads. A central p a d

broadcasts a tiny radio signal,

and the ﬁnger making contact

with the four position pads acts

as an aerial to a receiver chip

underneath the pads.

The result is instantaneous

response from the joystick.

This t ime w e h a ve ma d e

something f o r t h e Dra g o n

which is ahead of anything for

other computers,' sa ys Ha rry

cheerfully, although admitting

that he might adapt the design

for o t h e r micro s i f d e ma n d

arose. 'It's early days at the mo-

ment. As we don't have a pro-

duction line, each one has to

be put together b y hand. We

shall b e selling th e m fo r the

ﬁrst time at the Ossett Show

this weekend, and I think we'll

have a b o u t n in e t o s e ll b y

then!'

'Not only is this design the

fastest, it may be the cheapest

as well! The mail order cost of

He did not give Dragon User

a name for the new device, but

as it has so me qualities of a

joystick (without t h e stick) a

suggest the 'Joy Touch Mouse

Pad', which may have the add-

ed advantage o f translating

easily into Chinese for export

Crossword

The seventh Dragon Crossword is all dressed up and

ready to go.

So a re th e winners o f crossword ﬁve, wh o a re

Timothy Yates, who wants Wizards Quest or Vortex

Factor, and D J Bonham, who would like a utility or a

platform game. Practically minded chap, obviously.

There will b e a couple o f fre e tapes fro m th e

Editor's Magic Bottomless Box for the ﬁrst correct en-

tries Out of the Editor's hat each month (we can't put

them in the Bottomless Box, they fall through). You

can even try telling us which tapes you'd like in an

ideal world. It all depends on what we can ﬁnd.

And you don't have to cut up your Dragon User,

either - entries can be written out on a photostat or

a plain piece of paper, as long as we can read them.

1 Wa ste a timely meal! (7)

2 and 4. Jewellery for the night time (3,4,2,8)

3. A nice job lot to reform an astronaut! (3,4,5)

5 Refer lone CB freak to this army (6,5)

All this month's

answers are names of

Dragon software.

When the crossword is

complete, the column

marked with an arrow

will spell out a phrase.
