I have a new program that I have written out now called BBS Screen Creator, what it does is takes your text files, whether they be 40 or 80 column and coverts them to ATASCII inverse video. The program itself is written in Atari Basic for the Atari 8 Bit machines, and converts the text files to be u...

Spy Visits Spy BBS is now running some door games, but its still in testing mode, help me test the online games at
99.250.141.63 port 1989 , Russ

Same with Forem ST. I have it running good now, limited to 2 GIGS online with the Ultra Satan , otherwise it will crash
Russ

Does anyone want Forem ST with docs ?

Cool Russ. I certainly miss the BBS times, but not the phone bills. :D That's why so many of us were stoked by the arrival of the UDS LAN to serial port adapters. Long live telnet and BBS's! :) Hey Darklord: Can I connect more than one called on my BBS with a UDS-10 Lantronics device? or am I limit...

I am now up and running Spy Visits Spy BBS on one modem, tomorrow I install the Lantronics device, the theme of my BBS is that you have gone back to 1989, where there were lots of BBSes, and the old theme of Spy Visits Spy BBS has been resurrected. My BBS is being run on a real Atari ST with Forem S...

Howdy folks: Among the little gems in the KWEST library is a a custom program that I wrote 35 years ago for the game Hardball, this disk allowed a person to take the original team lineups on Hardball and replace them with any teams that was desired. I had at the time added 11 new teams that were up ...

Here is the complete KWEST library for anyone that wants it, along with an index, note that I am redoing it in order, all disks have been renumbered, the original order nwas kept as much as possible, but some of the missing numbers hve been filled, I will archive them all tonight, and do an index th...

There is a new post about my copying all of the disks, both sides , from the KWEST library.

:D :megaphone: I I am nearing completion of copying all of that incredible find that my friend made, ,the KWEST library, KWEST stands for Kitchener Waterloo Atari Eight Sixteen Thirtytwo, an Ata r users group from the mid 80s till the mid 90s, it was based in my home town of Kitchener Waterloo, Onta...

I stand corrected, this is a library from both GTAI, KWEST, and TAF , there are several Toronto Atari Federation Atari 8 bit disks in the case , they look like they may be readable. KWEST was the Kitchener, Waterloo, Eight , Sixteen, Thirty Two Atari Users Group.

I have big news for Atari 8 bit owners, my friend has found an entire library from The Atari 8 Bit GTIA group from Kitchener, Ontario, I have no idea if the disks are even readable as I have no 8 bit equipment yet. They are in an Indus drive case so they should be ok and they were stored in a dry an...

This is a link to my private folder on Mega , with over 250 GIGs of Atari and other files in the shared folder, I am sure that there are a few of you out there who will appreachiate this one....

Hello all: I would like to announce that I am not only programming actively on the Atari Portfolio, I am maintaining a CD and site for all of the Atari Portfolio programs that were ever made. I also have updated my copy of Plotto.zip, a Lotto 649 Package for the Atari Portfolio that just about pushe...

Unfortunately I lost all of the old messages , so I am recreating from scratch. Russ

Never mind I got it working , had to boot from DOS 6.22, I guess if anyone has one of these babys I can help out now that I have it installed in my Windows 95 machine

I need some help with the Atari Portfolio, specifically the Atari HPC card reader, does anyone know how to set it up properly? A quick search on the internet does not do much for information. Russ

Hey Charles: I have just finished putting everything into Functions, and most menus are working now, winning numbers database is loading into memory OK, I have yet to test the search and print menu, but it should speed up considerably now as I have coded almost all functions and called about 60 perc...

Hi Russ, Could you explain the history of this program please? Was it originally written in QBasic but now ported and maintained in QB64? Will the original program run correctly in the current build of QB64? https://www.portal.qb64.org/ Yes it will, it is almost done. I choose GFA Basic because alm...

Atari ST Lotto 649 Package Beta V 0.9982.zip Ya I started writing the program in 1994 for a doctor in my area, he paid me $40 Can per change on the program, basically what it does is allows you to enter winning numbers, search for a set of numbers in previous draws, there is a 14 to 42 number wheel...

I am, working on a newer copy , I updated my qb64 program, and want to do the same thing in GFA Basic, but there are a lot of changes to be made. I will upload a zip file of the Lotto 649 Package 2020 Beta Version 0.998, it will be a total untouched version that works in qb64 but causes many errors ...

I have spent about another 30 hours since the last post writing my Atari ST Lotto Package Beta Version X0.998 It is now more complete , everything is written in GFA Basic, and flows better than before, most of the menus are now in box format, you still have to press a menu key to use it , I am think...

Ya probably I have an update to mine including the GFA Basic disk that I used with it, as the code is simply code I am including it on the disk , ya I did send up a code earlier on FaceBook it was about 40 percent complete , this newer code is around 80 percent complete, lots of bugs but I will take...

I am posting the source code for my Lotto 649 Package for the PC written originally in Quick Basic 4.5, updated to qb64, and now I wuld like to challenge anyone to rewrite this basic coe to work on the Atari ST. I have included all of the code for the various Canadian Lotteries, and the data files n...
