Subject: 80 Column Teletext
The Idea here is to be able to produce
an A4 sheet of teletext type and
graphics.
While the program does default into
Epson mode there is another option
available not displayed on the initial
screen of each program. From the LOAD
HELP screen hiting d or D will set the
program to use my DATAC DX109V printer
which has a secondary character set
with teletext graphics predefined.
I have the autolinefeed set on it so
this printer does not need the line
feed sending as it does in Epson mode
and also the line spacing is greater
limiting the lines/page to 60.
Should you have neither of these
printers or have one of those new
fangled hosepipe printers, you need
only change PROCepson and maybe
maxline% so give it a go!.

I was at the day club haveing a nice
game of dominoes when one of the
ladies came over to me and said Fred
will you do me six copies of this poem
about a Little Sparrow, Now one word
sticks out a mile but if it was
changed it would not read quite as
good so my appologies for this mild
curse but it depends how you look at
it,
So here you are see what conclusions
you come to when you read about the
SPARROW
As usual set your printer and off
you go on this little flight of fancy.

Hi all!
On this issue there is a program
which adds to the recent discussion of
prime number generating programs. It's
a simple program which is currently
set to test all terms in the sequence
tn=n^2+n+41 for primeness using
Jonathan Harston's excellent IsPrime
function. The program prints each term
in blue if prime, white if not, which
seemed to be the best way of showing
what a lot of terms actually are
prime.
Other, but less effective sequences
to try are tn=n^2+n+17 and tn=2n^22 -
just change the formula at line
180.
Cheers,
