BITS 'N' BOBS

[Draw It! +3 modification by M Eastwood & K Bostock]



As promised (ages ago), the Draw It covertape correction, to let you

use that snazzy old program on a +3. Firstly, enter +3 BASIC, and type

LOAD "t:" to select the tape device, and then MERGE "DRAWIT" to load

the first BASIC chunk. Now change line 1 to CLEAR 24660: LOAD "DRAWN"

SCREEN$: INK 8: PAPER 8: PRINT AT 19,0;"+3 DISK": LOAD "DRAWCODE" CODE

<Enter>. Type SAVE "a:" to select the internal drive device, and save

the BASIC to disk using SAVE "DISK" LINE 1. Now type NEW, enter +3

BASIC again and RUN the modification program. And thanks to Marc

Eastwood and K Bostock, you now have a working disk version of Draw

It! And in response to your questions, Marc: No, I don't have a spare

copy of Dizzy's Excellent Adventures to give away, and no, I'm afraid

I can't stand Public Enemy.



Back to more important matters - the first SAM program to be printed

in Pitstop for ages (issue 80's SAM Embroidery) didn't work! Sorry

about that - what you need to do is alter lines 80 and 90 so that they

read:

80 PLOT 0,173: DRAW n,-173

90 PLOT 255,173: DRAW -n,-173

and it should work perfectly.
