+MrFish Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) I'm having trouble opening this Atari BASIC file properly in Release 25 for Windows: King Cribbage Memo Pad opens up lines 1 - 1525 of the program fine, but it doesn't display many lines that should be there. The program opens up and displays correctly in BASIC with Altirra, though, and runs fine too. Edited March 5, 2018 by MrFish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am able to reproduce the problem and will look into it tomorrow after work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyfulcoder Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Release 26 is ready for downloading. It fixes the BASIC import bug reported by MrFish. Thanks again. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the updates I've attached parts of two small "assembler" files people have sent/from the forum - when you open then in Memopad you get some graphics/hidden characters from the spacing or tabluation. Does/can you make Memopad convert/support these/hide them? You can open them in Notepad etc without seeing them but I like using memopad for my Atari stuff Another thought - how about Memopad identifying which assembler the code is from?!!

Roydea6 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Those marks are the TAB mark and are usually required in asm listings .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Those marks are the TAB mark and are usually required in asm listings .. Yes but I'd like to not see them or for them to be processed - either way makes it readable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displaying tab chars as a user specified number of spaces is on my To Do list. I think I will need another view mode for when to display characters as is and when to process them. I recently implemented support for entering graphics and inverse characters and realized entering two of the graphic characters, when EOL mode is not ATASCII, can create a new line. Anyway, I will try to have a solution soon. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gury Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks for the link, the original one is really gone. It would be shame for this tool to be gone, because it is great tool and I use sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+skr Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Is this a 32bit application? The web page shows it running on OS X 10.11.16 with wine. But I´m on Catalina (10.15.4) which doesn´t work with 32bit applications. Meanwhile I got wine64 running and so I can use Altirra64.exe like I want it to. But MemoPad doesn´t start with wine64. Would love to get that tool running on my Mac. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 So @DjayBee posted a link to this tool in another thread today. What a great little program. Does anyone know if there's a way to increase the font size of the default text window? I have a native 4K resolution on my Win10 desktop and the font used in the editor window is just too small. I didn't see any options in the program itself to change the point size of the font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that, the font size was too small to be readable. Bob C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the commonly-available A8 TrueType fonts installed, that have been floating around since around 2001 - 2002 or so. I use them in Frotz, for instance, to give my text adventure games a vintage Atari look. But short of changing my Win10 box’s desktop screen resolution, there seems to be no way to make the editor window’s fonts more legible for a high-DPI display.

darwinmac Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 If I use double wide, that’s what I get. However, using double, it appears to make the text on my screen double in size in each direction so they don’t look short and fat. I don’t see any Windows standard font size or panel, so if Double doesn’t work for you, your solution may be all you have. Bob C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a something like WINEARCH=win32 setting but I don't know if this will work on Wine for Mac or is specific to Wine for Linux.

Memo Pad uses a custom bitmap font rendering. I have replaced the font size settings with a new 1x to 9x multiplier setting. Hopefully this will provide a readable font size on your high-DPI display. This new setting is available now in Release 29. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to the future when the left and right character margins can be set. That would make this perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukdukgoos Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Just a friendly bump to see if there's anything new planned for this app. It's quite useful and a shame it hasn't seen much activity lately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
