There are amazing programs here.
The quality keeps improving as more
and more of you explore the capabil-
ities of the Plus/4 -- and your own
abilities, too.

By now, you should know what
to do to use all the programs on
this disk. Briefly, though, just
pick a program that you want to try,
DLOAD it, and RUN it.

Some notes:

*P/4 UTILITY is a magical thing
written by Dennis Larson. It takes
a file created by the Plus/4's
built-in word processor (a file like
this one) and duplicates it as a
standard SEQ file that you can read
with SEE SEQFILE or any other SEQ
file reader. Try it! For one thing,
you'll discover that the new SEQ file
is about half the size of the old
one. P/4 UTILITY can be useful if
you want to upload text files over a
modem.
*Michael Kaszubski and his crew
have created two new fonts for the
Plus/4 -- FUTURISTIC FONT (just
DLOAD it and RUN it) and SCREEN 53
(DLOAD 'SCREEN 53.PRG'). You won't
believe these at first. Press the
RESET button after you're through
with these.
*Use COLOR KEY BOOT to run COLOR
KEY.ML. The 'ML' means 'machine
language' -- you can't just DLOAD an
ML program. (LIST the 'boot' pro-
gram to find out how ML programs are
LOADed.)
*Some of the UTILITY programs re-
quire some experimenting to show
what they do. Practice on a disk
that you don't mind trashing. BYTE
SIZE is interesting -- it will show
you the wide differences in the ac-
tual size of files. A 1 block file
can contain a lot, or just about
nothing.
*Use SEE SEQFILE to read EARLY
ÄAYS OF +4, an interesting press
release from 1984.
*Finally, there's a whole section
on this disk prepared by Raymond J.
Eicholz. All the programs under the
heading 'EICHOLZ CORNER' go together
and can be accessed by DLOADing the
first file in the group, RUN THIS!
From there, a re-loading menu will
lead you back and forth. Most of
the files contain information on con-
verting specific magazine programs to
run on the Plus/4, but some more of
Raymond's outstanding graphics are
in this section also.

Keep those programs coming in!

And -- keep on PLUG-ing!

Note from ICPUG, December 1987:-
