Printing, Part 2 (and serial ports)

The ribbons came in today.  I tried them out and they worked well.  I printed a sign and a  banner. I loaded up my prodos writing diskette and printed out a listing of the startup program.  After printing the listing,

10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10

Strangely enough, that is the title of a book and a one liner for the Commodore 64.  Apparently it prints a maze pattern as shown on the book’s cover.  I’ve never read the book and probably never will. I was

Hamurabi, ZBasic from Applesoft

I thought I would try to load the Applesoft version of Hamurabi into ZBasic. In the PRODos index to the ZBasic manual there is a section on just this subject.  It says to use a procedure like we used to

Hamurabi, Pseudo Coding

Today, I’m going to start with my version of pseudo coding.  I usually just right up a rough outline of the program and the start breaking up each part. First we display some sort of program identification, like maybe the
