Despite
appearances,
thingS
haven't
totally
fallen
apart here
at
PEEK165J.
Quite
the contrary.
If
the size
and
cover
of
this issue doesn't
make
it
obvious,
this issue is covering· a
. multitude
of
sins.
The
next
issue
will
have a
cover
month
of
September,
and
at
that time
we
will
go
back
to
our
regular
monthly
schedule.
The
reasons
for
this
Summer
issue
are
many
and varied. First of
all,
I wasn't
able
to
recover the
original
schedule.
Between
all
of
my
commitments
and
other
reasons,
there just haven't been
enough
hours
in
the
week
to
make
much
progress.
But
one
of
the most
important reasons
for
the
delay
of
this
issue
in
particular
has
been the flurry
of
activity that directly relates
to
our
discussions
of
new hardware
for
OSI
systems.
Several
new product
announcements
were imminent and I
was
hoping
to
include
them
in
this
issue.
Those
announcements have not
been
made
public
as
yet.
What
I
can
say is that
all
OSI
owners
will
soon
have
major
upgrade paths available
within the next
30
to
60
days
at
very
reasonable prices.
Everybody
-
from
Superboards
to
serial
systems.
Even
though
this issue
is
more
than
twice
as
large
as
normal,
I
realize
that
it
doesn't
make
up
for
the intervening
issues that
would
normally
have been
published.
Therefore,
I have extended
the subscriptions
of
everyone
Who
was
current through
June
by
two
months.
I
know
this won't satisfy
everyone, but it
is
as
fair
as
I
can
make
it.
Note
that the
mailing
labels
on
this
issue
DO
NOT
reflect the
extension
to
your subscription,
nor
did
the recent renewal
forms
I
recently sent out
to
many
of
you.

Back
on
the
news
front, this issue
contains a lot
of
articles that have
been
in
the
PEEK
library
for
some
time,
but that
we
simply didn't have
room
to
publish
before.
It
has been,
and remains
my
policy
Where
possible
to
not break
up
articles over
more
than
one
month.
If
I present the
article, then the entire program
listing
should
be
printed
as
well.
In
addition,
and
again
Where
possible,
articles are
printed
contiguously
within
each
issue,
90
you
don't
have
to
page
back
and forth between the articles and the
listings.
This
has
led
to
some
of
the
editor's curse
known
as
-White
space-,
but I think it makes
PEEK
eminently
more
useful.
Cleaning·out
the library
in
this
fashion
means
that I
am
in
desparate
need
of
new material.
The
April
issue
contains
several
topics
that I
hope
youl1
consider.
The
library
has
a
couple
of
articles that are
incomplete.
I
hope
those
of
you
among
those
authors will
complete
your
work
and
send
it
in.
It
will
be
most appreciated.
Special
thanks
goes
out
this
month
to
Larry
Hinsley
of
Software
Consultants
and
Ed
Richardson
of
the Autralian
group
KAOS
for
their contribuijons
to
this
issue.
Matt
Holcomb
shows
us
how
to
list
out the
symbol
table in the
OSI
Assembler/Editor.
Daniel
McDonald
provides
us
with a nifty
random
number generator.
Doug
Johansen
demonstrates a
way
to
display over -sized characters
on
video
systems.
Your
humble
editor
has
been busy as
well.
I have
included
several articles
in
this issue
including
instructions
for
using
the
Data
Library
in
OSI
SIG,
a
program
for
getting true random
access
files
under
OS-65D,
the start
of
a series
of
articles
on
the innards
of
OS-65U,
and
a
few
other
things
I
hope
youl1
find
interesting.
Thanks
to
all
of
you
for
your
help
and
patience over the past
few
months.
It's been a pleasure
dealing
with
all
of
you
and
writing
in
this
forum.
With
your
continued support, the future
looks
brighter
for
all
of
us
than it
has
in
many
years.
