From TheEditor

f youmissedmylast

editorial, I urged

programmers to

writeprogramsthatpush

our capabilities ;i little

farther.

This time, I'd like to mention thai there are some

programmers out there doing exactly that. Folks like

Rod Gasson, Maurice Randall, X'ick Rossi, David

Schmoll, Gene Barker, Brian Hell and others are

providing some (iftin- best software our computers

have seen in a long time. This, then, is my

opportunitytosay thankstothose

programmersfortheirefforts, and

to urgeyou tosupport them.

How?It'snothard.Someofthese

programmersoffertheirsoftware

a.s shareware, and others as

commercial products. Ifa

program suits your

needs, buyit.orsendm

the shareware lee. I'm no!

sayingyou shouldgoout and

buysoftwareyou'llneveruse;but

don'tputoilspendingalittlemoney

On softwareor shareware that you

do find useful.

Manyuserstodayarefindingout

the hard way that specific programs eventually

become difficult to find. The program you put off

buying today may begone next month, next year, or

perhaps next week! There's jusi no telling.

Shareware? Okay, you've alreadygot it, or you can

easilydownload itfrom anyofanumberolsources.So

what'stoworryabout?Howaboutkeepingtheauthor

interested in providing us with software? For every

programmerwelose,wealsolosi'anunknownnumber

of inline applications, updates, and someone whose

advice can help others to create even more software.

That's a lot at stake in exchange for the modest fees

most sharewareprogrammers request.

IR A

liythe way,whileyou'reout looking forsome good

programs, be sure to lake a look at Loadstar, Tender

'fuckerandJeffjones never fail to amaze me with the

sheerquantityofquality soilivaretheypack intoevery

issue of Loadstar and the Loadstar 12H Quarterly.

Softdisk, the company that publishes Loadstar, oilers

subscription options that will lit anyone's budget.

They've even gone so tar as to provide a 'pay-by-the-

issue' plan to assure users they'll get even' issue that

thcypayfor!Again,yoursiiInscriptiondoesgondlhings

for the future ofthe C-64 and 12K: it keeps Loadstar

actively providing us with more software, which in

turn keeps programmers in the market.

Therearcothcrwaysthatyou

can extend both the life and

usefulnessofyourcomputer.But

sincethat'swhatourfeaturestory

in this issue is about, I'll let you

cheekthereforthedetails.

BeforeIdose,though,

let me draw your

attentiontosomething

you'll notice in this issue:

we've dropped Advanced

Techniques to make room for

theextensive feature story.That

may become 3 permanent

situation since we're starling a

machine language column. I'm

sure the Techniques column will be back from

limeto lime, hut it's the most likelycandidate to be

displaced when we need room. Other changes are in

the works as well, but we'll chat moreabout those as

(he details linn up.
