Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Anyone have a hardcopy of "More Basic Computer Games"
Corey, I can't help on the BASIC program, but you might be able to help me. The attached file is the output of a program I wrote last year to run on a 1219B computer and punch text into paper tape. I hand encoded the data from a character generator data sheet (TB62713). I don’t have a punch so I have not been able to check / debug the program. It runs on my emulator. If you have a way to send it to the punch, let me know of any problems.

Problem… I don’t have a copy, I’ve been trying to decipher the image on the atari archives site, but I can’t seem to get it to work. The image is really bad and I’ve had to guess on a few things. If you have a hardcopy, can you please take a high resolution photograph with a camera or your phone and email it to me. I want to send the paper tape in with my kids to school on Monday morning. Thanks, Cheers, Corey
I tried punching it, but it didn’t seem to print anything but junk. I double checked my punch the a known text file with a different reader and everything is good.
