EDITOR..(ON TBI-68) Now about Graphic printing with the Stylus. Using all the screen dump programs I had (for 9 pin printers) the pictures were very faint. I got the Acorn User Disc for 1988 which had 24 pin dumps and there was a lot of improvements, but the dumps were quite small. Better results were found using a program from AU August 1988 Hints & Tips page 43. The idea is that this converter takes 8 pin graphic data and converts it to 24 pin. It can also be used with Screen Thief/Dumpout 3 and Dumpmaster so making the Screen dumps more versatile (in all cases some problems are found like changing the place where it is loaded) But without a straight forward sceen dump for the Stylus, it is worth playing about with the programm to make it work. (Copy on Same Disc as Star) TBI-68 The only other way I have used the Stylus is with Wapping Editor a DTP package, this has normal/High resolution dumps. Using the High resolution, a reasonable dark picture is obtained, which is very good if you want to photocopy the results. Until some one writes a special dump for the 48 Pin Stylus (This is beyond me, I am afraid) this is the best I can do to get graphics. The results are not brillant but useable. My latest purchase is an Integrex Colourjet Classic which emulates the Integrex 132. This is supported by both Screen Thief and Dumpmaster, so no problems in printing graphics. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, To: 999 (all members) From: K3Y (Lorna Jenne) Subject: For Sale I have a number of items for sale which belong to the College of Nursing where my friend Carol works.

My plea for information on the availability of:- (1) CDS Software Ltd.'s COLOSSUS 4 CHESS for BBC & Master 128 on 5.25in discs. (2) A New,Unused, or even hardly Used MASTER 128 COMPUTER to use as a spare when,inevitably, my present 128 goes on strike. (3) The name of a firm,organisation, shop or member that will mend tired and ageing BBCs & Masters.Preferably not in the Outer Hebrides or Scilly Isles (I live near Oxford). which I sent in last month was probably too late to be published in Issue 41.This is just a reminder to my new-found associates that I am still in a highly fraught condition -expecting my computer to blow up any minute,being consistantly thrashed at chess and constantly reading the glossy brochures about the Archimedes. Never one to miss an opportunity, I would like to add a comment which really should be in another section. This is my second Disc Magazine issue and I find it even more informative and interesting than the first.Chris Richardson and his helpers are doing a great service to all faithful Beeb owners.

Thanks for the help in obtaining a spare Master 128.I would still like to obtain: COLOSSUS CHESS 4 for Master 128 on 5.25 Disc.It was issued by CDS Software Ltd. but they no longer supply it. If COLOSSUS CHESS has vanished from the planet I would welcome any other really good CHESS game.Price no object (within the limits of my pension). Vic Horgan Tel: O1235 834544 P.S. Am I the most geriatric of the Group's members? I am 75 and have been using computers since 1965 and the BBC (and then the Master) since 1982. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, To: 999 (all members) From: K2K (Peter Davy) Subject: 100 People/100 Pounds Puzzle in TBS Magazine Disk no.45. 2J3's solution takes more than 5 minutes on my Master-128. By restricting the range of men + women + children tested to just those which add up to 100 a much faster solution results. My solution, to be found elsewhere on this disk, uses two nested FOR-NEXT loops and produces the answer in a couple of seconds. My program may be used to discover figures for similar puzzles. All that is needed is to change the numbers for the number of people, the total sum of money and the money received by each class of person and then run the program to see if there is an answer. In the following examples I have left the number of people at 100 and the total cash at 100 pounds. To be on the safe side change the figure 9 in line 30 to 100. Change the .125 in line 60 to .25. This means that children get 25p instead of 12.5p. When the program is run, two answers are found: Men 10pounds Women 50p Children 25p 7 27 66 6 66 28 Change values in line 60: 10 to 6, .5 to .8 and .125 to .2 Men 6pounds Women 80p Children 20p 11 27 62 5 85 10 One set of figures I tried gave 12 answers: Men 5pounds Women 1pnd. Children 50p 11 1 88 10 10 80 9 19 72 8 28 64 7 37 56 6 46 48 5 55 40 4 64 32 3 73 24 2 82 16 1 91 8 0 100 0 The only figures I tried which gave just a single answer were: Men 10pounds Women 50p Chil. 37.5p 6 38 56 It would be possible to write a program to systematically vary the the total sum of money, the total number of people sharing it and the sum received by each class of person. But is it worth doing? ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, To: 999 (all members) From: D2G (Neil Parry) Subject: Colossus 4 Chess HELP !!!!!!!! HELP !!!!!!! HELP!!!!! Can anybody help me..
