Subject: John Davis's note in Issue
no.40 asking if anyone has seen his
anagram of National Lottery in the Jan
21 to 27 issue of the Radio Times.
Yes - I did! I said to myself,"I bet
that's the same John Davis who
contributes to 8BS." And so it was. It
would have been an even bigger
surprise if he had turned out to be
the same John Davis of the Wakefield
Jail with whom I had dealings many
years ago. Not an inmate but on the
staff of the education dept. Looking
back through my records I found that
that John Davis is John R. G. Davis
while the 8BS membership list shows
that the anagram enthusiast is John C.
Davis.
Would it be possible, Chris, for the
membership list to show the town in
which members live?
EDITOR........ I shall try to remember
this request next time Peter.

Subject: PC to BBC Picture Converson
Further to my notes and sample
pictures on the ADFS Extra of Issue
40, my PC to BBC graphics conversion
programs are progressing. I have been
able to produce surprisingly good
dithered colour pictures in MODE 2,
and have improved on the results in
MODEs 0 and 1.
I am now concentrating on tidying up
the current programs and putting
together some documentation, with the
aim of issuing them as "Version 1"
within the next couple of months.
They are totally BASIC and range from
"slow" to "excruciatingly slow", but
speed improvements through the use of
machine code will have to wait for
Version 2.
