Modifications Or Corrections To Previous Articles

64 Video, Part III

Line 40 of the demonstration program from Part III of Jim Butterfield's "Commodore 64 Video – A Guided Tour" (p. 160, April 1983) should read:

40 FOR J = 0 TO 62 : READ X : POKE J + 832, X : NEXT J

Atari One-On-One

To use paddles with the Atari version of this game from the May 1983 issue (p. 48), change line 650 to read:

650 BLINE = 250

Editype For The 64 And VIC

Reader Clifford Johnsen supplied changes which allow the VIC Editype mini word processing program from the April 1983 issue (p. 50) to run on the Commodore 64. Delete lines 265 and 266 and modify the following lines:

210 A$(K) = A$(K) + C$ : C$ = " " : IF LEN(A$(K)) <40 THEN 120
240 FOR U = 1 TO 40 - LEN(A$(K)) : PRINT CHR$ (20); : NEXT U
5025 FOR B = 1 TO 40

For VIC or 64 users, the following change to line 180 suggested by John Stoddard will provide an underline cursor to eliminate confusion about where the next character will be printed:

180 PRINT C$; "{DOWN}{LEFT}"; CHR$(32); CHR$(163); "{UP}{LEFT}";

Computer Literacy On The Timex/Sinclair

Program 4, "Big Letters," from this article in the April 1983 issue (p. 165) requires one correction. Change line 140 to read:

140 LET W$ = W$(2 TO LEN W$)

Atari SuperFont Plus

Author John Slaby has found the following corrections to minor bugs in his improved version of SuperFont which was published in the February 1983 issue (p. 154):

1200 POKE 54286, 192 : GOSUB 390 : GOTO 520
1440 DATA 72, 169, 100, 141, 10, 212
1700 IF A = 58 OR (A>47 AND A<58) OR (A>64 AND A<=90) OR A=46 THEN 1720

Also, D. Chouiniere suggests that to eliminate the problem of scrolling of the display, line 500 should be changed to 525 and then line 500 should be deleted.
