If you're having trouble saving your game (November 1984) to cassette,
change line 4005 to read:
4005 IF PEEK(195)=130 THEN TRAP 4010: I$ ='C: ":GOTO L
Again, this is for cassette owners only!
BINARY SEPTEMBER
Despite a few letters mentioning problems with binary load files in
the September issue of Antic, (Olympic Dash, Price's Painter and
Fader), these programs run as published.
But new XL computer owners should note: If you only have the
dreaded DOS 3, we suggest you obtain DOS 2.0S from almost any of the Antic
Public Domain disks. DOS 3 owners should keep in mind the problems
of incompatibility with other DOS'S. It's not difficult to transfer
programs from DOS 2 to DOS 3, but it is difficult moving in the other direction.
ADVENTURE ISLAND
There is a missing piece of data in the program "Adventure Island"
on page 56 of our November 1984 issue. Line 837 should read:
837 DATA CYBERNETIC TANk,999,0,6,50,
EXPLORING THE XL
Here is a bug I found in "Exploring the XL," (Antic, June 1984).
There was a misprinted inverse video zero. In line 230, what appears
as inverse "Or" should instead read inverse "0r", replacing the capital
O with a zero.
