The file CMOSBAK has my setting in it

Program: CWDIR NOT ON THIS ISSUE!
This one page utility displays the
currently selected directory.
Readers with web access will be
delighted to know that the program
I submitted to Solinet originally has
been updated and now supports ALL
filing systems.
It is also tested and working with
Warm Silence Software's BBCEm if
you're using the emulator on a 32 bit
Acorn.

Program: PICKANO
This 'mind reading' program is based on
a puzzle from a Christmas cracker.
On running it you'll be shown 6 tables
and prompted to pick a number.
Then, respond by stating which tables
the number you chose appears on.
The computer will then reveal your
choice - and it DOESN'T do it by
blindly going through each table,as
that would take ages using IF...THEN
commands.
A more in depth look reveals that what
you are really doing is definng the
bit pattern of the binary number that
makes up the number you chose.The 6
tables are the lookup tables for each
of the 6 bits.What a laborious way of
working out binary.
Enjoy it anyway, if not for the maths,
then for the amazement!

Program: VDFS
This is a ROM image suitable ONLY for
use in the emulator !6502Em (available
from Warm Silence Software) which was
reviewed in last month's issue.
It improves the one supplied with the
package by adding additional help text
in response to a *H.. or *H.ADFS or
*H.DFS command.
To use, drag it from your issue disc
over the old VDFS in the !6502Em.ROMs
directory.

Subject: 1k Snibzy...
A few issues ago a childrens game
called Hunt the Snib appeared in 8-Bit.
It was a huge program which despite
looking nice on the outside had a very
ugly set of insides. (Apologies if the
author is reading this...)
In the spirit of saving disc space and
good programming here is a 7 line long
version of the game. Taking less than
8 tenths of a kilobyte memory (and 1k
disc space).

Subject: How many words...
Following in the footsteps of Richard
Harker and Paul Clucas I have compiled
a list of all the words (3 letters +)
that can be made out of the following
names.
Chris Richardson and
Eight Bit Software
Hopefully they're somewhere on this
issue!
If you would like me to make a list of
your name then please let me know. If
you send me your full name then you
usually get better words!

Subject: Puzzles...
Elsewhere on this issue you may find
a puzzle that I have sent in for you
all to ponder over.
Send your answers in to 999 (Ref:
Puzzle 001).
Maybe Chris will have a prize for the
first correct answer???
Next issue another puzzle! (That is if
Chris approves!)

Subject: Title pages...
Maybe Chris could start a competition
for the best 'title' screens sent in
for each issue?
I've started the ball rolling this
issue with my submission, can anyone
else out there come up with something
for future issues?
Maybe all the submissions could be put
on the issue and we - the members -
could judge the winner!
Who knows, there may even be a prize!
