GS WorldView: February MM Our Featured NEW A2 Programmer - Jon Bettencourt By Charles T. "Dr. Tom" Turley My special thanks to Jon Bettencourt (jonrelay@napanet.net) for sending me his JonRelay Desktop HD image file which contained the following list of programs, folders and their outlined contents as reviewed from Jon. I've archived the programs in this folder as follows: A.SHK.bin In HIRES.PROGRAMS: * COLOR.DRAW.5 and COLOR.DRAW.SHP are the files I mentioned. * COLOR.DRAW.4, COLOR.DRAW.2, COLOR.DRAW, HIRES.3, PADDLE.DRAW, MM.PADDLE.DRAW, and MP.PADDLE.DRAW are older versions of ColorDraw 5. * NOISE.GEN.2.FXD, NOISE.GEN.TWO, NOISE.GENERATOR, NOISE.WRAP.TWO, and NOISE.WRAPPER are programs that generate random garbage on the high resolution screen. They were made by Rubywand and David Empson. * LOAD.WIN.BMP loads monochrome 280x192 Windows bitmap files. * NYBMP.LOAD.1 loads 4-bit 16-color 140x192 Windows bitmap files. * PIX2.DEMO and PIX2.ENGINE are early versions of the routine that draws color graphics. * GRAPHCALC.1 and GRAPHCALC.2 are graphing calculators. Unfortunately, they can't handle functions that can possibly result in an overflow or range error. B.SHK.bin In LORES.STUFF: * LR.PADDLEDRAW is a low resolution version of the earliest version of ColorDraw. * XYEQUPLOT and XYEQUPLOT2 are graphing programs. The color of a pixel is calculated by an equation with X and Y. C.SHK.bin In MISCELLANEOUS: * RADAR.SIM is a radar screen simulation. * TEXT.SCR.MANIP is a paddle-driven program that can change characters on the text screen. * TYPING.TEST is just typing text on the screen. Pressing control characters do various things like clear the screen, set inverse or flash, move the cursor, etc. D.SHK.bin In MY.UTILS: * FILEMAN is a file browser for ProDOS. You can launch programs, load binary files, lock, unlock, rename, delete, and catalog a directory. * FILEMAN.80 is the 80-column version of FILEMAN. * FILEMAN.OLD is the DOS 3.3 version of FILEMAN. * QUICK.RECOV is a program that will recover a deleted file on a DOS 3.3 disk. * TEXT.COORD.LOC finds the memory address of a position on the text screen. E.SHK.bin In MYLAR.CITY: * SPLICE.FILE splits a DHGR file into seperate .MAIN and .AUX files. F.SHK.bin In PHONY.BALONEY: * APPLESOFT.3, APPLESOFT.CAT, CALL.900, MAC.SYS.ERROR, and PHONY.MONITOR are programs that simulate funny or interesting computer crashes. G.SHK.bin In PROGRAM.SUPPORT: * IIGSMOUS.DLL is a subroutine that accesses the position of the mouse on a IIgs, IIc, or Apple Mouse Card. * LOADGTBF.DLL is a subroutine that loads a BSAVEd low resolution or text screen, even in ProDOS. * PIX2.DLL and PIX2VER2.DLL are the subroutines that draw color high resolution graphics. * VERTEXT.DLL puts vertical text of the screen. * IIGSMOUS, LOADGTBF, PIX2, PIX2V2, and VERTEXT (all without the DLL) are info subroutines for the above. H.SHK.bin In WORDPROC.PRTCL: * SEQ.TEXT.MAKER and SEQ.TEXT.READR are programs for using sequential text files. I.SHK.bin On root level: * BRIDGET is the Apple II version of a two-player computer game called Bridget. * NEWINPUT and NEWINPUT.40COL are routines for macro input. Holding down option or closed-apple and a letter run macros. H clears the screen (home), C catalogs the disk or directory, and I forget the rest. NEWINPUT.40COL is the one that's most usable. * SIMPLE.TEXT will let you type text and BSAVE it as a high resolution graphics file. * MENU1, MENU2, MENU3, MENU4, and MENU5 are the programs that make up the main menu that appears at startup. They are all linked together. One can call the previous or the next one. * INIT.CALL.6, CALLER6, CALLER6V2, MENU, RESTART.DISK, and STARTUP are files that support the main menu. * OLD.MENU and OLD.STARTUP are old versions of the main menu. Everything else in Jonšs Relay HD image not listed above was included in the above I.SHK.bin archive. I do hope everybody will find something in all of this they enjoy using and above all - please write to Jon and encourage him to keep up his A2 and Mac programming efforts. His Email address is: jonrelay@napanet.net Youšll also find Jonšs entire HyperCard Mac stacks collection archived in Stuffit archive format within the HyperCard.Stuff folder - which is inside of the Special.Archives folder.
