ET TU, READERS?
DEAR The Dave, Friends, Romans - Beebsters and Elksters!
Here's to the future of EUG. Take note, everyone who hasn't contributed!
I fully sympathise with the Editor's moanings about lack of submissions.
Don't worry about EUG going bimonthly again, though: I think it's better
that way. I enjoy writing for EUG because it's an excuse to keep up my
programming skills and, what's more, it's creative. Too many people now-
adays don't make enough of their own entertainment, and then grumble
when they haven't got anything to do.
My main reason for saying this is that I won't have a great deal of
time for EUG this year - though I'll always have some - because I am
doing my finals: BSc (hopefully) in Geology & Electronic Music. You may
be interested to know that I am using digitized Mode 0 photos as part of
my geology project. I used something called 'iPhoto' on a PC to scan in
photos, then converted them to 1-bit black and white and saved them as
.TIF files. Finally I used ChangeFSI on my Arc to get the finished Mode
0 picture. They take up less MEMORY, they take less TIME to load in
compared to full-colour images, they are CLEARER, they REPRODUCE better,
and they are EASIER ON THE EYES. This latter point is made because I
find that the more colours there are, the harder it is to look at the
screen for any length of time. OK, you have to get used to looking at
digitized photos, as opposed to scanned photos, but it's less time-
consuming.
Now a plea for help. Can anyone give me a fool's guide (yes, even I
need one) to Sideways Ram? I though that you *SRLOADed a ROM image with
necessary parameters, pressed Ctrl-Break, and then you were able to use
the new * commands. I tried this without success on our BBC Master at
home and, after hearing stories of Masters with missing SRAM, ignored
it for a few years. Until I came by my A3010, that is, and started using
the !65Host emulator which is definately supposed to have SRAM (it says
so in the manual). But I still can't get any sideways Roms to work. The
programs I'm trying are all official, such as Mr Toad's from Beebug.
