I have a scanner or two. I don't know how Thumpnugget does his scans. Apparently it involves destroying the publication, at least in the case of books. I've done some magazine page scans, opening the magazine and scanning. They never come out perfectly straight. I know Thumpnugget does good scans, but I think he may remove the staple and open the magazine and that way he can scan perfectly square and flat. I was thinking more along the lines of sending the mag to Thumpnugget and him returning it to me, but that won't do if he cuts the pages. So, yes I can scan it, but don't think I'd do as good a job as Thumpnugget. Hope he reads this thread. Russg

I'm starting a new thread, as the original thread is really long. I'm not clear if Thumpnugget has issue #48 3/84. I have it.

I'm not clear if you have #48 March '84. I have that issue.

Holmes has MS BASIC II, .atr and ROM It never was very popular. It has string arrays, but the syntax is different than Atari BASIC, and so, without documentation would be hard to use. If you are programming and don't like Atari BASIC, probably BASIC XL, BASIC XE, and TurboBASIC would be better. All three are compatible, pretty much, with Atari BASIC.

I was curious. Thumpnugget has answered my question and provided the 'missing' Antics. I have the STarts involved. I don't believe there were many STarts without Antic in them. I only have September '89 that doesn't have Antic in it. The next STart I have is October '90, so there is a big gap I don't have of the STarts, between 9/89 and 10/90. Separate Antic was still being published 9/89. Thanks.

Hello, The Antic Torrent has all 88 Antics, separate magazine Antic. But there were six Antic sections in STart after separate Antic ended. So, is there a separate torrent for STarts? I don't think so. Is anybody interested in those sections? Here's a text I made long time about Antic: Complete list of Antic Magazines Antic began publication 4/82, Volume 1, Issue 1. They were bi-monthly for the first Volume, six issues. Starting 4/83 (Vol. 2:1), Antic became monthly. They published monthly until 9/89, missing only one month (5/84), making the volume year end with April issue instead of March issue. That's 65 consecutive monthly issues from 2:1 to 8:5. Starting 10-11/89, Antic became bi-monthly again (issue 8:6), and were bi-monthly for only 5 issues. Volume 8 only had 8 issues. 10-11/89 (8:6), 12-1/89-90 (8:7), 2-3/90 (8:, 4-5/90 (9:1) and 6-7/90 (9:2), <-- the last issue of a separate Antic. There was no 8-9/90 Antic. Then Antic was put as a section of STart magazine for 4 issues (10, 11, 12, 1/90-91). Then STart, still with an Antic 8-bit section, went bi-monthly for the last 2 issues (2-3/91 and 4-5/91) then STart folded and that was the end of Antic and STart. List of Issues/Volumes: Vol. 1 - Six issues (4-5/82, 1:1) to 2-3/83, 1:6) Vol. 2 - 12 issues, all monthly 4/83, 2:1 to 3/84, 2:12 Vol. 3 - 12 issues, but no 5/84, so Volume year now ends April instead of March. 4/84, 3:1, (no 5/84), 6/84, 3:2 to 4/85, 3:12. Vol. 4 - 12 issues, 5/85, 4:1 to 4/86, 4:12. Vol. 5 - 12 issues, 5/86, 5:1 to 4/87, 5:12. Vol. 6 - 12 issues, 5/87, 6:1 to 4/88, 6:12. Vol. 7 - 12 issues, 5/88, 7:1 to 4/89, 7:12. Vol. 8 - 8 issues. 5/89 (8:1), 6/89 (8:2), 7/89 (8:3), 8/89 (8:4), 9/89 (8:5), then bi-monthly 10-11/89 (8:6), 12-1/89-90 (8:7), 2-3/90 (8:. Vol. 9 - 2 issues. 4-5/90 (9:1), 6-7/90 (9:2) <-- Last issue of separate Antic. No 8-9/90 Antic. Then Antic was put as section of STart magazine for 4 monthly issues (10, 11, 12, 1/90-91). Then STart went bi-monthly (2-3/91 and 4-5/91) <-- Last issue of STart with Antic section, and I think last STart. That's 94 issues total, including issues in STart, 88 separate issues of Antic.

I'm having trouble here. I can't delete my message with the horrible formatting. I said I wouldn't post the Antic Index because it comes from Kevin Savetz's magazine site. http://www.atarimagazines.com/index/?mag=antic Now let me see if I can append a .zip of Tom's ANALOG index. Sorry for the delay and posting problem. ANLGINDX.zip

Yes, I am!!! I won't post the Antic Index, it is from Kevin Savatz's Antic site. http://www.atarimagazines.com/index/?mag=antic Here's Tom's Index for ANALOG #1 to #66. OK, I've edited this message to attach ANLGINDX.ZIP, an ASCII file, which should be renamed to .TXT for Notepad or Wordpad. ANLGINDX.zip

Yes, I am!!!

snip This all fine and dandy for running the resultant XEX from a language ROM in an emulator, but what about DOS vectors for getting it to run from DOS? I don't understand your question. The resultant XEX would run fine from DOS, with BASIC disabled. The appended $2E0 (224,2) points DOS to where to RUN at.

Thanks Nukey and Shaun. Winzip fixed it. I was/am using powerarchiver 2001 and pkzip25 command line. pkzip25 command line, -fix option recovers 21 of 42 pdfs, not what I wanted. I hesitated with winzip 14 because it is try before buy, but it recognizes all 42 pdfs. I don't know why my old stuff doesn't work, my Atari's work, Tom Hunt wrote a unzipper for our A8s, but 4 gigs won't fit on my USDBLR 1050. Thanks again.

I tried download Antic twice, and I get a corrupted .zip file. Is there another place I can download this?

Anybody interested in Tom Hunt's ANALOG index 1 to 66 and/or Antic index, which I think covers all 94 or so issues. I could post them here.

'An Eight Bit Extra from ANALOG' I have five .atrs of ANALOG Compendium files. Are those in the download? Wish I could remember where they came from. Maybe in Holme's archive. ... YES, in Holmes' archive.

'An Eight Bit Extra from ANALOG' ©1987, Compendium was 1983.

You're trying to load a binary file, so Atari has screen memory and DL up at $Bxxx. You have to move that down before you can load the .exe.

Also, if the CAR file is for use with emulator, (of course it is), it may (probably) has protection code, that checks for RAM, which would have to be defeated to work as a .EXE file.

I'm quite rusty, so below may need some knowledge to see what is happening and make it work. Is a 8K CAR file? Put the CAR file on a DOS 2/2.5/MyDOS atr. Use Disk Wizard II to look at the file Look at the last 6 bytes of the file. The last byte is $BFFF. $BFFA,B has the run address for the cart LO, HI order. Make a .com file that moves screen memory and Display list under $A000 ($9000 if 16K cart) Use ASMEDitor to make .OBJ file Like so: 10 CIOV=$E456 20 IOCB=$350 30 RAMTOP=$6A 32 *=$600 40 LDA #$0C 50 STA IOCB+2 52 LDX #$10 60 JSR CIOV 70 LDA #$9F 80 STA RAMTOP 0110 LDA #03 0120 STA IOCB+2 0130 L1 0140 LDA EDITOR 0150 LDA L1+1 0160 STA IOCB+4 0170 LDA L1+2 0180 STA IOCB+5 0190 LDA #$08 0200 STA IOCB+$0A 0210 LDX #$10 0220 JSR CIOV 0230 LDA #$0C 0240 STA IOCB+2 0250 LDX #$10 0260 JSR CIOV 0262 LDA #$79 0264 STA $6A 0270 RTS 0280 EDITOR 0290 .BYTE "E:",155 0310 *=$2E2 0320 .BYTE 0,6 0330 .END Now append your CAR file to load at $A000 at the end of the DL mover. Then append *=$2E0 (run address you got from $BFFA) You can append stuff using BASIC on the file like so: 10 CLOSE #1 20 CLOSE #2 30 OPEN #1,4,0,"D:FILE1.OBJ" 40 OPEN #2,8,0,"D:OUTPUT.COM" 50 FOR N=1 TO NUMBER BYTES TO WRITE 60 GET #1,X 70 PUT #2,X 80 NEXT N 90 CLOSE #1 92 REM APPEND $A000,$BFFF (LO HI,LO HI) 100 OPEN #1,4,0,"D:CARFILE" 110 FOR N=1 TO NUMBER BYTES IN CAR FILE 120 GET #1,X 130 PUT #2,X 140 NEXT N 142 REM append $2E0 and RUN address 150 PUT #2,224:PUT #2,0:PUT #2,LO FROM $BFFA 160 PUT #2,BYTE FROM $BFFB 170 CLOSE #1:CLOSE #2 Now you have a .EXE. Some revision may be necessary.

I would guess four of the 32 would be the most useful. original XL for most stuff 800 A and B for trying to get some older software to work. Then the most important, worth the $50 because you can't get it any more... OMNIMON. Omnimon can be used to dump your cartridges to sectors on a disk. Once dumped, you can change the disk sectors to a file (some utilities needed, I wrote my own.) So, for the person who just wants 32 OSes for the novelty, it probably not much use. For the adventurous, who'd like to break into any cart and dump it, really good. Also, the MyIDE stuff if you have it.

'Best of Antic, an anthology'.

I probably have duplicates of the 60 and 70 ANALOGs. You didn't leave your e-mail, I'm new here. I'll wait for your response here before I give my e-mail.
