Editor's CommentPaul B Kaufman
Summer is the worst time of yearfor the micro enthusiast. Thesun beats down mercilessly onthose forced to mow the lawn orlie on deckchairs. There's nowelcome snowstorm or floodwhich means that he has to stayindoors writing obscure machinecode packages or solving adven-ture games in four dimensions.If you go abroad ten to onethere's no mains outlet on thebeach and someone's forgottento pack your aerial lead . Yet inhundreds of offices all over thecountry software houses areplanning their latest games orbusiness programs for the com-ing autumn and winter rush.This has been going on for aboutthe last three years yet things arebeginning to change.
Nowadays if you go to a com-puter exhibition you will findless people actually buyingequipment or software and morejust trying it out and seeingwhat's available before going totheir local W. H. Smiths orDixons to buy it. This is incontrast to the exhibitions of afew years ago such as the Bread-board shows where every exhibi-tor could expect to clear hisstand before the end of the showand perhaps even sell the standas well!
It is obvious then that the wholeretail market is maturing andrapidly becoming attuned to theconsumer rather than the stricthobbyist. In a way a lot of theearly magic is disappearing.
I can remember the excitementwhen my MK14 kit arrived onthe doorstep from Science ofCambridge (Pre-Sinclair!) andafter a few hurried hours ofsoldering, switching it on to findit didn't work. This, in away,was quite gratifying because if ithad worked I would have just satthere and looked at it - therewas no software around to doanything with. I remember evenbeing able to get through to NickToop or David Johnson-Daviesat Science of Cambridge andactually talk to these people whodesigned the machine. The same
goes for when I upgraded to aTangerine Microtan, I wasalways talking to Paul Johnsonor Barry Muncaster about sometechnical point or other.
In a way things had to change.The small numbers of thesemachines would have kept no-one in business very long. Todaywhen you buy a computer it isalmost always certain to run firsttime (don't all write at once!),software of some sort is alwaysavailable and although you can'tget to talk to the designers, thereare usually plenty of publica-tions (such as this) to help withyour technical problems.
The point of writing this is toshow that although there arealways complaints and prob-lems, they are usually, in per-spective, nowhere as devastatingas they could have been a fewyears ago. So although some ofthe old magic has gone, today'sproduct is far more completeand reliable than its moretemperamental predecessors.Speaking as someone who wasthere when it started I think Iprefer the present solid reliableproducts (well fairly reliable!) tothe old circuit board and bits ofwire designers nightmare.

Not many titles have arrived forreview since the last issue so Isuppose that everyone is off ontheir summer hols.
A company who I have notheard of before, Sector 7 Soft-ware, have sent me their Games-pack. It contains seven shortgames - Laser Station, Obstruc-tion, Mazatronic, Demolition,Milliblox, Noughts and Crosses,and Maths-Test. Although writ-ten in Basic they are of a goodstandard with reasonable graph-ics and sound. Although theyprobably won't appeal to thearcade addict they are very suit-able for the younger Oric user.
P.S.S. have sent me a previewcopy of their 'Ultra.' This is aspace invaders shoot down typegame with a difference. Theinvaders keep changing shapeand moving in various patternsacross the screen. The graphicsare very good, particularly thestar background which seems tomove independently of thealiens in front. A very enjoyablegame.
House of Death is a follow upadventure game to Zodiac fromTansoft. The adventure takesplace in a disused film set whichwas once used for horror films.As you would imagine there areall sorts of nasties out to get youand plenty of puns and bad jokeswhich are becoming hallmarks
of Geoff Phillips writing. Aswith Zodiac you will needseveral hours to play this adven-ture through, plus endless pat-ience. Geoff tells me he is work-ing on a proper follow up toZodiac called - wait for it-Zodiac 2. Apparently this will bewritten mainly in machine codeto speed things up.
I have managed to get hold of apreview copy of Author, theword processing package byJohn Dawson.It is cassettebased and is written entirely inmachine code. When you firstenter it you are presented with amenu that gives you the variousprogram options. These allowyou to create new documents,edit existing ones, save or loadto cassette, set up parametersfor printers and count the num-ber of words in your text.
Entering text is very simple, yousimply type 'w' for write andanswer 'Yes' to clear old text outof memory . You then just typein whatever you require.
Editing text is also simple. Youcan move about your text pageby using the cursor keys and youhave the ability to insert newtext, delete unwanted charac-ters, words or paragraphs andsearch for specific words.
A clever feature is wordwrap.This ensures that a word is neverbroken in half if it overflows theend of the line. It is alwaysmoved down to the next line.There are some more sophisti-cated features such as auto cen-tring, left and right margin set-ting and tabs. Author will num-ber pages for you automaticallyif required and force new pagesto be printed when needed. Youcan also have one paragraphalways printed at the top of eachform.
Although there isn't room todescribe in detail everything thatAuthor can do, in the few hoursI have spent using it I was veryimpressed with its capabilities. Itis quite happy to work with mostprinters including Oric's MCP40.
Next time I hope to look at OricCa1c and the Hobbit adventure.We are also looking for indepen-dent software evaluators toreview new Oric software. If youare interested why not drop me aline.

Oric Insight
The. Hidden OricPaul B Kaufman
This article is condensed fromtwo articles that appeared inIssues 4 and 5 of the originalTansoft Gazette by Jim Rew andAndy Biggs. It will allow you toaccess your Orics built-inmathematical routines directlythrough machine code.
Before you can go leaping aboutin Orics ROMs you will need toknow how BASIC handles float-ing point numbers. All floatingpoint operations take placeeither directly in memory or intwo special floating point accu-mulators in zero-page, known asFACl and FAC2.The format of a floating pointnumber held in memory is dif-ferent from when it is held in thefloating point accumulators:
IN MEMORY - Sign Packed 5 Byte FormatExponent Mantissa - 4 bytes Least significant end
Byte n n+ I n+2 n+3 n+4
The exponent is in excess 128 (decimal) form, that is:(a) A true exponent of zero is stored as (hex) 80(b) A true exponent of one is stored as 81(c) A true exponent of minus one is stored as 7F
A stored exponent of zeromeans the number is zeroregardless of the value of themantissa.
The 'binary point' is held to beat the most significant end ofthe mantissa and the numberis 'normalised' such that themost significant bit of themantissa is a '1'. This beingalways true this bit is then notexplicitly stored, and isinstead used to indicate thesign of the mantissa (0= +,1=-), as indicated py the'S'above.
IN THE FLOATING ACCUMULATORS - Unpacked 6 ByteForm at
Exponent 4 bytes of Mantissa SIGN Byte
I11
I I I I I
Byte m m+ 1 m+2 m+3 m+4 m+5\
The exponent has the same form as above.
The sign is extracted to the SIGN byte (msb 0= + mantissa)(msb 1=- mantissa)
The lost 1 is reinstated at the most significant bit of the mantissa. Theactual number had the value:
MANTISSA *2 TRUE EXPONENT
In a similar fashion, those ROM routines which store an accumulatorvalue into memory will translate back to the packed format.
Error HandlingThere are a number of problemswhich can cause the ROM rou-tines to abnormally terminate:
(a) Floating point overflow (anyoperation)
(b) ~ivision by zero(c) Illegal operations with the
transcendental functions(e .g. taking the square root of anegative number)
If you hit one of these problemswhile you are in a ROM routine,you will probably crash.
The ROM routines will, onerror, attempt to enter theBASIC error handler, whichwould normally print a message,reset lots of zero page param-eters and restart the interpreter
- fine if you're -already inBASIC, but not if you're justusing the subroutines. The likelyeffects are that the error handlerwill mess up your zero-pageusage and either the error printor the restarted interpreter willcrash because zero page will notbe set up the way the interpreteris expecting! Cheerful isn't it?Since the error call is not vecto-red you can't catch the problemsyourself. So beware!
ROMRoutinesOric's BASIC ROMs contain anumber of useful floating pointmaths routine that can be usedfrom machine code programs.The entry points of some ofthese routines are listed below,together with enough informa-tion for the experimenter to
make use of them. These routi-nes make extensive use of zero-page for their operation,however $35 to $80 are availablefor user storage.
In the list, ACC I is the primaryfloating point accumulator usedfor number crunching and islocated in the six bytes $00 to$05. ACC2 is the secondaryfloating point accumulator, usedfor mathematical arguments,and is located in the six bytes$08 to $00.
MEM is the address of the firstbyte of a five byte packed float-ing point number. The addressof MEM is determined by theuser. On entering these routinesthe address of MEM is usuallyheld in the A and Y registers.

New Products ReviewMCP40 Colour Printer/Plotter
This is the first official addon forthe Oric-l, a complete printerand pen plotter all in one.Instead of the usual arrange-ment of heated pins or sparksthis printer uses a clevermechanism consisting of fourball-point pens on a rotatingcylinder. These pens are black,red, green and blue and so allowcolour text or graphics to beprinted. Each colour is selectedeither by pressing one of thebuttons at the front of theprinter or by entering LPRINTCHR$(29) on your Oric.
The printer has its own powersupply cable and comes with aribbon lead to connect it to theprinter socket on the Oric. Makesure that you plug the lead incorrectly otherwise your Oricwill just freeze.
Apart from the normal printingof characters there is also thefacility to control the size of
characters in 64 steps. Thiscoupled with the facility to printtext in four different directionsmakes for some very interestingpatterns and graphic designs.
The printer uses 41/4" plain rollpaper and is selectable for 40 or80 characters per line. It is alsopossible to select by switcheswhether a CR or CR/LF isprinted at the end of each line.You also have a switch to selectthe katakana (Japanese)character set.
There is a graphics mode in theprinter, which allows you todraw diagrams and pictures veryeasily. There is a commandsimilar to the Orics Hi-Res Pat-tern command. This allows youto draw dotted lines of 16 differ-ent types. The resolution acrossof 480 by the length of the paperallows the detail of pictures to
equal or surpass the quality ofHi-Res mode.
Plotting is made very easy by aset of commands that give youabsolute and relative drawing,resetting the origin and mixingtext with graphics. Most im-pressive is the facility to drawthe axes of a graph automaticallyincluding the tick marks alongthe edge.
All in all, then, this printer isvery well suited to the Oric andwould be ideal for most hob-byists or even some businessusers. It would be silly to pre-tend that it could produce letterquality printing and its speed ofwriting is a little slow (12 cha-racters per second) but I know ofno other printers that give thesefacilities for the price. So forvalue for money I don't thinkyou could go wrong here.
'2-D Arrays & Totals'By L. Bancroft
The program presented demon-strates one solution to the prob-olem of the peculiar TAB func-tion found in the ORIC BASICROM, especially when produc-ing 2 Dimensional Arrays.
The text discusses some of theproblems and solutions encoun-tered whilst developing the pro-gram on an ORIC-l.
ORIC PRODUCTS INTER-NATIONAL have acknowl-edged the problem with theTAB function .and have statedthat this function only appears towork from position 13 on thescreen.
These facts will become relevantif a short history of the programis detailed.
The program owes its origins tothe N.E.C.'s 30 Hour BASICCourse (actually Assignment8.1). The program was originallywritten for use on an Apple 2.
My special interest is writingBusiness Programs and uponowning my own ORIC-l Idecided to use this program aspart of a larger one. Runningthis program in its original formon the ORIC provided someinteresting, albeit incorrect,results. By experimentation,and a 'phone call to ORICwhich confirmed that there wasa problem with tbe TAB, a
solution has been found. Also abetter understanding of certainfunctions of the Oric has beengained.
The TAB function will workas a single statement, althoughfor this function the screen isnumbered 13 to 51 (from Left toRight) not 0 to 38. MultipleTAB statements e.g. PRINTTAB(X);TAB(Y);TAB(Z)... .will not work.
Having found the problem thenext step was to find a solution,obviously the next function totry was SPc.
After a few trial statements withSPC it was discovered that someof the problems associated withTAB statements were alsopresent with SPC, plus one ortwo new ones! These, togetherwith the results of further trialsare summarised in TABLE 2.
Having decided that to make theprogram run correctly and pro-duce a correctly formed table offigures the following functionswere deemed necessary:TAB,SPC,LEN ,STR$.
When using STR$ it has to beremembered that when usedwith a numeral an additionalspace is added in front of thenumber for the + or - charac-ter. E.g. Line 160 causes thecurrent value of J to be printed 5spaces from the last J, not 6.
It will be seen from Table 2 thatSPC statements in loops wherethe FOR/NEXT Value is to beprinted do not operate correctly.To overcome this it is necessaryto convert the value to a string,i.e. PRINT STR$(J).
By trial and error the necessary'statements were formulated andincorporated into the programwith a successful result.
To summarise: The TAB func-tion on the ORIC-l can only beused as a single statement TheTAB positions on the screen are13 to 51, and TAB positionbelow 13 will be printed at 13(e.g. TAB(5) will appear at theextreme Left of the screenexactly as would TAB(13)).Table 1 gives some examples ofstatements that will work andsome that won't.
For multiple printing on one lineeither SPC alone or following aTAB statement is required. Ithas to be remembered that whenusing SPC in loops, where theFOR/NEXT value is required tobe printed that this numeral hasto be converted to a string. Frompersonal experience I have con-cluded that the SPC function,within a loop for multiple print-ing on one line, only operatescorrectly with strings or withnumbers already designatedstorage labels, e.g. Lines 200,260.
'2-D Arrays & Totals'In conclusion the lines that havebeen altered in the program arelisted below together with theirfunction:

Hints & TipsBy D. Lam
1. Type HIRES and draw a fewlines all over the screen (andcircles, etc if you want). Thentype TEXT. Use the CURSOR-DOWN key to get down to thelast line on the screen. Thenpress ESC and finally press theDEL key. . . . . .
2. Locations 520 and 521return, if PEEKED, differentnumbers depending on whichkey is pressed (much better thanKEY$ or GET$) location 520holds most of the keyboardwhereas 521 changes if theSHIFT or CTRL keys arepressed (the two SHIFT keysreturn different values).
3. In HIRES, if you have'FILL'ED parts of the screen
with colours, etc you will havenoticed that you cannot draw aline or a CIRCLE over that part.To clear a 'window': set thecursor to the appropriate pointand FILL the desired area with avalue of 64.
4. I have discovered a way ofretrieving NEW'ed programsand am working on a shortmachine code routine to bringback a BASIC program whichhas been NEWed (providing noerrors have since occurred or noprogram lines have beenentered) I am also working on aroutine (in BASIC) which willhighlight all REM statements ina program with any desired attri-bute. More details later.
5. CALL 62509 simulates pull-ing out and pushing the powerplug in again. This saves wear onthe power socket.
6. The alternate character setgraphics are made up as follows:
1 24 8
16 32
So, to get a particular shape, addup the corresponding blocks andadd 32.
ego to get:
the code is (1 +8+ 16)+32=57

(Default 48(00) but can beDOKED with 48280 for examplewhich will stop the top 71inesfrom scrolling (ie. 48000 +(7 x 40) = 48280)

Dear Sir,re Forth on the ORICI am very excited about FORTHon the ORIC. It really is anexcellent implementation of Eg-FORTH.
I also enjoy 'Starting FORTH'by Leo Brodie which is recom-mended in the introduction tothe FORTH Programming Man-ual.
As is pointed out there, thereare differences between poly-FORTH and fig-FORTH. Onemajor difference is in the use ofthe word CREATE. If you logusing it in an attempt to copy
Brodie's examples disasterstrikes! It is possible to definea defining word which has thesame effect as poly-FORTH CREA TE.- : STORE<BUILDS DOES>; eg thephrase-STORE LIST nI, nz, n3, willcreate a dictionary entry calledLIST followed by the numbersnh nz and n3.
Subsequent use of the wordLIST returns the address of thefirst value. Thus-LIST @ willput n, on the top of theSTACK. LIST 2+ @ willreturn nzLIST 4+ @ will return n3
The various examples on theORIC FORTH tape whichmake use of calls to functions inROM are fascinating. Can wepersuade ORIC to publish a listof entry points and parameters?Then we really could demon-'strate the combined power ofFORTH and ORIC!
Best wishes to ORIC OWNERmagazine. I'm looking forwardto receiving my next copy.

Dear Sir,After acquiring my ORIC-Ithrough some difficulty, I mustsay it was well worth the wait.
As it is not my first personalmicro, I know enough to recog-nize its excellent properties.Everything is a plus here, includ-ing color (via RCB monitor),sound (hooked up to the stereo)and the microsoft basic is cer-tainly up to standard. The super-fast graphics commands arespecially useful.
But, everything considered,ORIC-I's full computing poten-tial is not realized without essen-tial peripherals.
Can you please suggest a feweconomical printers (SEIKO-SHA AP80A?) and disk driveseasily available that may beplugged in with little or no needfor interfacing?
How about a circuit diagram toconnect a standard switched joy-stick to 9 pin D-plug?
Thanks for your attention.Rada/fa L. LaygoManama, Bahrain
PhonicsBy S. Lucas
This program was written inconjunction with a teacher of5-8-year aids. Its aim is to helpyoung children to develop anunderstanding of the ideas ofPHONICS, in a way which isboth fun and educational. Theprogram will work in a 48Kmachine, although I have nottried it in a 16K machine.
The listing contains full instruc-tions in the form of REMarks asto how the program works andhow it can be changed to suit theuser. I have tried to keep itsoperation as structured as poss-ible and have included noGOTO statements. The mainsection of the program occursbetween lines 120 and 210, the
following lines all being sub-routines.
In use, the child will be pre-sented with four boxes contain-ing 3 similar words and one"ODD MAN OUT". An arrowwill jump from one word to thenext at a rate which is deter-mined by line 1950. This caneasily be speeded up if required.The child must then press anykey when the arrow points at theodd one out. This was felt to bebetter than asking children ofthis age to use the keyboardmore fully. They will be given adifferent response for a right orwrong answer. The computerchooses 10 questions at randomfrom 60 alternatives. After theten questions are up, the child
will be told their score and askedto enter their name. It shouldtherefore be quite easy to extendthe program to keep a 'HIGHSCORES' league which couldbe useful in a class situation.Scores of over 5 out of 10 get acomment 'good' whilst over 7get 'very good'. They will thenbe asked if they want to playagam.
To alter the questions, all that isnecessary is to alter the datafrom line 330 onwards. Each lineof data contains the 4 wordsfollowed by the number (out ofthe 4 alternatives) of the rightanswer. The boxes will holdwords containing up to 5 charac-ters only.

Frog Run, this program is betterknown to most as 'FROGGER'.The game fits into all models,the only thing that needs to bechanged are the addresses forthe user definable graphics.After typing in the program,and before you run it make surethat
a) THE KEYBOARD CLICKIS ON.b) THE CURSO R IS FLASH-ING.
On running the program you willfind a different way of showing atitle. The way the title (and thetraffic) are done is by using theLEIT$ and the RIGHT$ func-tions (chapter 8 in the ORICmanual).
WHEN desired, press any keyand the game begins. The gameis in two parts, when the screen
clears you are on level one, thisbit is the simple bit (or to some itis). When you reach 500 pointsthe game moves on to level two(or the rush hour). The game isvery similar to the original buthas a few differences, e.g. it hasno lake. It has ten lanes oftraffic, but can be improved totwelve by adding this. . .
128 PLOTl,15,B$:PLOTl,-13,B$
THESE two lines make thegame a lot harder on both levels,as they plot a lane of traffic oneither side of the snake (orsnakes on level two).
THERE is no time limit (yippeeI hear you shout) but you onlyget five lives. My highest score isdisplayed on the screen but Iknow that will be beaten by theEO.
Here is what each line (wellnearly each line) does.

How to get the most outof your Oric-1Mass Delete Line Facilityfor Oric BASICBy G.M. PhWips
Along with RENUMBER, theDELETE function is one of themajor omissions in ORICBASIC. It is often useful to beable to take out chunks of a largeprogram, particularly whenstarting a new one.
For example, if you want to copythe tape handling subroutinefrom the ORIC BASE program,you could delete all lines except20000 onwards.
The following machine-codesubroutine gives you this facil-ity, without too much fuss.
The program should be enteredas below, and then RUN. (Itwould be advisable to save theBASIC program as well.)
After a few seconds, save theRAM area #400 to #4FF ontotape - this is the delete pro-gram.
Then, whenever you have a pro-gram which is to be partiall)deleted, CLOAD the machine-code program, and type in (as animmediate command):
DOKEO, line-from: DOKE2,line-no to: CALL#400
Do not worry if the message'Syntax error' is printed. If theBASIC hangs up check that YOUlBASIC program was typed cor.rectI y .
Example:DOKEO,200:DOKE2,1000:CALL#400
would delete lines 200-1000.
Note that the program may workincorrectly if the line numberssupplied do not exist.
For Microtan owners, the rou-tine has been dissassembledbelow, and should need littleconversion. (Change LOA #5to LOA #4 - use TANBUG torun)

Power Maze of AgrenonBy D. Hunt
The game is played in a 25 by 25preset maze, the game is in realtime and the aim is to kill the'vicious power matrix', the"GEOMITRIX" and to collectthe "Diametric Tapestries"which are spread throughout themaze. The maze is divided into 3sectors separated by doors, theexit is at location 25, 25.The "GEOMITRIX" is des-troyed by firing 'High powerenergy zones' at it which arespread throughout the maze.There is also a status checktelling you where the "GEO-MITRIX" is, how many 'Highpower energy zones' there areleft and how much treasure youhave. There are also ratings -atthe end.

This is similar to the "DECIMAL POINT ALIGNMENT" Routine, but without taking into account thelength of the field to be printed. It takes the difference between the position you wish to TAB to, and thepresent position of the CURSOR, and then SPC (spaces) that number of spaces. It will work for stringvariables, such as A$ too.

3D Bar ChartBy M. J. Hall
This program is designed to givea graphical result in the form of a3D bar chart which can have amaximum of 12 items. It givesthe user the choice of how manyitems there are provided thatthere are no more than 12. Alsoin the program for a title whereif the user wants a scale, thenhe/she must put the scale inthere and remember to makesure that the largest actual num-ber is less than or equal to 1500.The program also asks the userto enter labels for the x and yaxis's, and labels for each barwhich can only be 2 characters inlength (max) and so it could bemade better by having the labelson the bars, which I haven'tdone because it was meant forthe initials of the months etc.Also this program works out ascale for the y axis and at the endasks the user if he/she wishes todisplay any more information. Ifthe user does then the programstarts again otherwise it ends.

"Word-1" is a word-processor inbasic for the Oric-1.
It allows you to enter up to 10screens of text (this can bechanged by changing every num-ber 10 in the program to thenumber of screens you want) tobe entered and edited. The key-board works normally except forthe cursor keys.
EDITINGPressing either the left or rightcursor keys gives EDIT mode.In this, choose which line of textyou wish to edit then move thearrow under the letter you wishto change using the cursor keysand press "RETURN" thenenter the letter you wish to putin its place.
"DEL" deletes the last characteryou entered in the line andescape "ESC" gives you themenu. Pressing either of the upor down keys will move you ontoa new screen and "RETURN"gives carriage-return.
MENUYou are shown the menu:1. LIST SCREEN N2. LIST SCREEN X UNTILLINE Y3. LIST SCREEN X TO Y4. PRINT SCREEN N5. PRINT SCREEN X UNTILLINE Y6. PRINT SCREEN X TO Y
After choosing you are asked:Do you want:
1. a continuous listing or2. a page by page listing.
Option 1 lists the screens chosennon-stop while option 2 pausesin between and waits for a key tobe pressed.
Back to the menu. . .1. causes screen N to be listed.
You enter N.2. causes screen N to be listed to
line Y.3. causes screens X to Y to be
printed on the screen. Bestused with option 2 above.
Options 4, 5 and 6 do exactly thesame but print on a printer otherthan the screen.

This program is a horse racinggame as YOll can tell from thetitle, where you have to enterthe number of players between 2and 8, and then the odds areprinted up for the eight horses.The odds range from 1 to 8, onebeing the lowest and eight thehighest due to the fact that if youwin a race, the amount of moneythat you bet is multiplied by theodds, so eight will give you eighttimes as much and one only onetimes the amount. After thateach player will have to enter thehorse that he/she wishes to beton and the amount that he/shewishes to bet on that horse. Thismust be done in turn and thenthat order kept until the end ofthat game. Once everyone hasplaced their bet, a table of thenumber of horse, bet and odds isprinted up so everyone can seewhat they have bet and the oddsand number of that horse. Theprogram then proceeds and goesthrough the graphics and finallyproduces a winning horse. Thenthe program prints up any win-ners and any bankrupt people. Itcontinues doing this until thereis either one player left withsomething to bet with or untilno-one has any money left. Atthis point the program gives thelIsers the choice of another gameor not, where if they don't thenthe program goes to the endingroutine and ends, or else it startsagaIn .

A doctor and scientist's thoughtson the Oric-1
Having decided to buy the Oric-1 48K RAM I can only hope itwill gain popularity 'so that amultitude of add-ons, programsetc. will be available. I thereforeforward these ponderings in thehope they may be useful to you,being well aware that you pro-bably are flooded with "brightideas" .
First of all, why did I buy yourmachine? I heard of a colleaguewho bought a ZX-81with manu-als and other books in order tolearn basic programming. Heworked his way through this andthen gave the device to his son.As he remarked, the cost fordoing so was small compared towhat you usually pay for medicalcourses (A weeks course in Lon-don amounts to 350 pounds +travel expenses). Thus home-computers provide a fairly cheapand comfortable way to learnprogramming, even when youhave access to bigger computersat the job.
When deciding for the Oric I washelped by a friend, who hadworked with computers sincethe sixties and who is now amathematician and a doctor.The arguments for one who haveaccess to quite a deal of hard-
ware, and even heavy compu-ters, runs thus in favour of Oric:1. The keyboard looks likethat of ordinary computers/terminals. The Spectrum looksmore like Italian salad than likea computer. I would have will-ingly paid another 50 pounds fora real hardtop keyboard, butfound the Commodore 64 tooexpensive, when considering myready access to computer-machinery at the hospital. Giveit a thought. Others sell home-computers with plug-in key-board!2. The Oric has ports making itsuitable for someone like me,who has printers, monitors etc.available at the hospital.3. According to my adviser the6502 processor is well suited forPascal, a language he recom-mends.4. I am interested in music andthus may have fun with thesynthesizer. But this argumentwas of lesser importance.Except maybe Chess games arenot of interest. . . unless theyhave relation to medicine/research as a sort of self teachingthing. I am quite allergic to pingand pang.
If I should draw your attentionto ~ notf':nti~1 m~rkf':t ~on"istin~r
of doctors, scientists, studentsand other serious users, youshould then be aware that theywill demand different thingsthan the present buyers. If youwant to reach them, you willhave to take into considerationthat these people are used tostudying. After an initial coursethey will need more heavy books(with smaller letters) going intothe depths of problems andhandbooks, where you can readselected chapters, when solvingan actual problem.
Doctors need statistical testsfirst of all. For instance a multi-variate analysis, which I haveseen advertised for Sinclair!Give them a statistical pack, thisshould be no problem. Manydoctors though being skilledsurgeons have difficulty withstatistics when analysing results.But even a program leadingthem to choose the right test is apossibility, using questions like:big or small material? Compari-son of two means? Comparisonof a mean with known standard?etc.
Many medical researchersalready have programmable cal-culators like the Texas TI-59performing statistics. What you
can offer is more text on thescreen when guiding them to theright calculations and a graph-ical representation of the resultstoo.
At present home-computers arenot used by doctors/scientists toany significant degree. I think agood deal of the reason is thatthey do not know about thecapabilities of home-computers.They have, however, bought theTexas TI-59 and HP analogues. . . this with their own money,because they are too interested
in the results of their research,so that a little calculating athome is unavoidable. They willbuy the Oric-l too, if they get toknow of its capabilities. Doctorsdo not want to be ignorant, soyou can even scare them withquestions like: Hospitals areinvaded by computers. Do youknow enough about how theywork?
Should you choose to write thenecessary books to make theOric suitable for medicalresearchers or even the general
practitioner, be aware of thetax-systems in many countries.In Scandinavia (e.g. my case85% tax of the last penny) it maybe all important to sell the Oricalong with tapes and books as apackage with a title like "Acourse in computing for themedical and biologicalsciences". This could make thewhole thing tax deductible,whereas a home-computerwould be hard to justify.Dr. To~ Buur(actually Danish),

Dear Sir,In issue 1 of 'Oric Owner'magazine you had a programlisting of 'ORIC-TREK'. In thelist of instructions you men-tioned that you would need a48K Oric to run the program.
Whether or not you alreadyrealise, it is possible to run theprogram on a 16K ORIC, usingthe 'GRAB' command and withsome changes in the listing youcan obtain better graphics withabout 4000 bytes left over.
I find it very annoying that mostof the adverts for the Oric Soft-ware do not specify which modelof ORIC it can be run on. I amsure that other ORIC users have'the same problem.
Perhaps in future issues if a 48Kprogram listing is printed it ispossible for tips to be added forthe conversion to the 16K modelin appropriate cases. D. T. Paton
Dear Ed.,Does anyone out there knowhow to scroll the Orics screenleft or right? I know how to usestrings for this purpose but it is avery slow and tedious method.Can anyone help?I would also like to know ifanyone knows anything aboutthe commands INVERSE andNORMAL lurking inside theROM.
Also could you explain thephrase DOWNLOADING as itis a bit of a mystery to me.Thank you for a great magazine.Keep it up.
Finally, a query about the OricTrek program in the first issue.
Whenever I try to move up ornorth or into a quadrant aboveme the program refuses to gothere.

Clock Simulation
By C.Kingham
This is a Hires program demon-strating an analogue clock dis-play.
It allows the user to set a timeand ORIC will then display thecorrect time in Hr, Min andSecs.
(Only varies about a second intwo hours.)
To improve the accuracy of theclock. Minor adjustm~nts can bemade to the step interval at line580 according to whether theclock is gaining or losing time.

TorpedoAttackBylVIartyn J. HallThis program uses LO RESgraphics and has user definedcharacters. The program givesthe user the choice of seeing theinstructions, and then gives theuser the choice of two levels.The difference between the twois that on level one the speed ofthe torpedo is faster than thespeed of the torpedo on leveltwo. Once the actual game hasstarted the user has to destroy asmany ships in the time givenwhich can be increased on every300 points scored. There arethree different types of shipseach of different points. Whenthe time runs out your score isprinted up and if you have thehighest score so far then you willbe asked to enter your name.Then you will be asked if youwant another game or not, if youdo then the game starts againotherwise it will end.
