* I would like to think that this
latest issue of the 8-bit software disc
magazine is the best of them all. The
reason for this is that we have allowed
ourselves much more time to prepare and
edit the features. Last time, poor
Martin had only 5 days to get it all
done and sent back, but he still did a
great job! This time I had everything
ready by 5th April, giving him 2 weeks
to do it. I hope you have noticed the
improvments made, and if you have ideas
to make the magazine better, then send
them in.
I have attempted to empty the magazine
"in" tray this month so if you have
submitted an article, it should have *

been published by now. The only article
kept back is Ian Roxboroughs programming
tutorial, which I forgot to include
until it was too late. Any items
submitted after 20th March should appear
next month. I look forward to recieving
your software and submissions in the
future.

* There may be a problem with the Issue
12 and 13 magazines (May+June 1991).
Martin Watson, who spends many an hour
putting the mags together, is about to
suffer the dreaded school exams. It may
be possible to get the magazines out,
but exams must come first. I'm sure I
can speak for everyone in wishing Martin

all the success he deserves- Good Luck
Martin.(You can stop blushing now.)
* After a long and unacceptable delay,
I have managed to start publishing the
programmers return this month. Seeing
as it is so long, I have spooled it
into an ASCII text file. This file can
easily be loaded into a word processor
like Wordwise or View. If you load the
file into Interword, you will have to
extend the margin width (after loading)
in order to display the text correctly.
The file on the disc is T.ProgRet. I
intend to publish a Programmers Return
every month like this. I hope the
programmers waiting for comments find
this information useful, and let's hope*

we will soon get updated versions of
some of the old programs.
* MASTER COMPATIBILITY *
News is coming through that a few member
s have recently purchased Master 128's,
and are now experiencing problems when
trying to run software due to the new
features in these machines. I am totally
naieve when it comes to Master 128's, so
if anybody has a Beginners manual for
the Master 128 that explains things
clearly, please get in touch.
It is also begining to dawn on me that
not all 8-bit software will run on these
machines. ALL should work faultlessly on
Model B's. If you have a Master and have
amended a program to make it work *

properly, then send those amendments in
a.s.a.p. and I will publish them as a
matter of urgency. If you prefer, you
can send me the amended programs on disc
if the amendment is large. A big
Thankyou goes to Chris Richardson who
has already sent in some amendments that
appear below.
LOST YOUR MARBLES= Add a " ' " after the
PRINT in Line 1110 to tidy up the screen
BACKUP= Change Line 80 to MODE 128+7 to
make it copy properly.
TEST CARDS= Delete Line 30 to make it
work.
