VUELCDME TO LUCKY I! UE 13!

m m ereweare, wevefinally

»""^^^W arrived at Lucky Issue

m m 13. And as you can

m m probably sen from our

.^L. ,,JL from cover, we even

made it through the

muchheralded'Blizzard

of9li.' Though we are still lookiii" for tile owner ofthai

hand. I Immm... now that I think ofit, i haven't seen our

Assistant Editor lately... but I digress.

Whileweweighthefactthattherearenothirteenth800rs

in buildingsagainst the UNI'S\requirement thatOUTissues

remainsequentiallynumbered,wecan'thelpbutfeelasifwe

are perhaps caught in the middle of it all, Bul instead ol

worryingaboutittoomuch,we'veoptedtoaddthat"Lucky"

bit at the beginning—and hope for the best.

Puttingoursuperstitionsaside,we'vegut aprettygood

line-upthisissue.We'recontinuingourHTMLtutorial,ol

course,whichisgettingdeeperintowhatthisWeb-slinging

script languagecando. It hasbeenourintention fromthe

conception ol this series io leach the language as well as

possible within the limitations of space we have in a

magazine(versusabook).Commodoreuscrscan.afterail.

createprettymuchanyafthewebpagesthatothermachines

can. For that reason, we haven't limited our view ofthe

language to just those elements that are used in create

pages that viewable with a text browser (which is what

Commodore userson theweb arelimited toat thispoint).

What we failedto do(anddidn't realizeuntil we'd had a

good tongue-lashing) is point out what HTML features

you might not want to use ifyou have a desire lo create

pagesfortextviewing.Inaddition,therearealsosomenice

tipsthatcan beusedwhencreatingIexl-browsablepages.

Luckily, Gaelyne Moranec lias gleefully agreed to bail us

out. and has supplied us with some sidebars to describe

these.

MovingonjimBrainisbackinthisissuewithan article

about one of those Commodore computers that never

came lo be: The never-released Ll'l)-(i4. It's a shame

Commodore didn't realize the potential this computer

hadat [hepointintimethatitwasduetobereleased. Well,

we've nevergiven Commodore'smarketingteamanygold

stars, and they probably would have wiped out any such

awardswith theirdecision not io market this product.

Ilowaboutagame?Atype-ingame?Okay,we'vefinally

bowed lo the requests from our readers for more type-in

programs. I can't say how regularly we'll do so, but this

issue carries a couple, intelligence Quest is the garni' 1

mentioned, and it's a relatively simple one. ISASIC

programmers whowant towrite theirowngamesshould

findthisonelobeagoodexampleofwhatcan bedone,and

aliiilemorefun.

Another type-in is our 128 utility for loading C-64

programs. It's been done before? Yeah, but not like this!

Theversionwedeliverhereworkswithmostofthedifferent

Kernal ROM modifications oul there, including systems

cunningonRAMLjnk.It'sagoodtakeonthissubject,and

includes both a BASIC loader and Assembly Language

And while I'm talkingabout type-in programs, please

we've made a couple of cosmetic changes lo it). CM!)
