VARITURBO (part 1)

by Malcolm Goodman



Loading routines have always been popular in Pitstop in the past, so

here's another one. This time, as well as just turning the border

funny colours and making things move a bit faster, Malcolm Goodman's

effort loads things in at two different speeds at the same time.



The only trouble is that it's so long I've had to split it into two

with the Basic bit coming first. By all means bash it in and save with

SAVE "VARITURBO" LINE 10, but sadly you're going to have to wait for

the June issue to key in the rest. Ho hum. [Part 2 was actually

printed in the August issue. JimG]



VARITURBO (part 2)

Cor blimey - here, finalement, is the missing half of Variturbo.

What's that, you ask? Well, it's Malcolm Goodman's corking

saver/loader routine, that's what.



The massive list of numbers beneath is the hex, which should be typed

in with the hex loader and saved after the Basic you typed in before.

While you're at it, Malc informs me of a couple of minor modifications

that need to be made to the Basic. In line 650 change 65250 to 65200

(twice), and in line 670 change the 65250 to 65200.



Once you've done this, the rest should be simple. The Basic program

contains all you'll need to manipulate the routine to your heart's

content. On running it you'll be given a demo to show you what's what,

and then you'll be prompted for the various parameters the program

needs to save your own code for you.



The results are impressive, so get to it.
